    Yes and I’ve seen Andy Gardner, Mikko Kaven, Craig Samson and Gordon Marshall have a mare in a cup final. None of the associated attributes and failings of those players are an indicator of their skills as goalkeeper coaches. Of those names, 3 of them have worked consistently as professional coaches to professional players. Who’s to say Samson won’t go on to be an excellent coach.

    So, based on that logic, Gazza should be the next England manager?
  3. Looks like the PNE fans are becoming a bit impatient and Louis seems be copping it a bit. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/03/06/do-criticised-by-preston-fans-louis-moult-shouldve-moved-to-rang/ Criticised by Preston fans, Louis Moult should have moved to Rangers instead Danny Owen @danny8195 14 hours ago 2 2 0 Fans of Scottish Premiership giants Rangerswere desperate to see Moult at Ibrox - but he signed for Championship outfit Preston North End. Is Louis Moult wrong for Preston or is Preston wrong for Louis Moult? Just two months after the striker arrived at Deepdale from Motherwell for a cut price fee of £500,000, as reported by the BBC, it is worrying that such questions are already being asked. Yes, Moult has a huge challenge on his hands replacing the goals and the presence provided Jordan Hugill, who moved to West Ham for £8 million on deadline day, and he has not been helped by the fact that Preston manager Alex Neil seems unwilling to adapt his style to suit his new centre-forward. But patience among some supporters is already wearing thin. Moult scored eight goals in 13 league starts for Motherwell in the first half of the season but has not hit the net yet in six appearances for Preston. He was an unused sub in the win away at Bolton on Saturday, a week after his ineffective display in the home defeat to Ipswich Town. So fans of Rangers, who were desperate to see Moult move to Ibrox in the New Year, would be forgiven for asking whether the former Stoke City youngster would have been better off at Ibrox instead. SEE ALSO: 'Totally disinterested'; Celtic fans want key player dropped for Rangers clash He is a proven goalscorer in Scottish football after all and manager Graeme Murty, since taking charge in October, has shown an ability to adapt to his player’s strengths in order to get the best out of them. If Moult is to succeed at Preston, however, he will be hoping Neil does the same.
  4. Aye, I always thought he was talking pish on that one lol Again, could be miles out but i seem to remember (maybe Aberdeen quarter final) the camera panning in Gary Mac’s brother sitting in the main stand and Gary talking about him being a diehard.
  5. He would, indeed a screwed heid Tony Watt would be playing at a much higher level than us.
  6. Within the article on the official site about Brian McLaughlin, there’s a picture of the all conquering Davie Hay first division team of 81-82. http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2018/02/21/talisman-of-the-champions/ Theres some well kent faces in there but seeing Joe Wark and Brian McClair in there got me thinking. Like all others too young to have seen him play, I know Joe Wark is a motherwell legend but was he a ‘well fan? I was always told by my dad that Brian McClair was a ‘well fan ? Gary McAlister is a ‘well fan but who else has worn the glorious claret and amber and realised their boyhood dreams?
  7. Ive just had a butchers and yeh, the anthem zipper is really retro smart. The trouble is of course that training wear comes straight out the catalogue and will never be bespoke. Weve had the same training gear for at least two years now, perhaps we will get a refresh with the new kits in the summer?
  8. What stuff is different or isnt as good?
  9. Tony Watt was considered somewhat of an enigma by Charlton fans. He always looked overweight and seldom motivated but when he looked interested, he was a match winner (at league 1 at least). Sadly, those moments were too far between and the club lost a lot of money on him by letting him go for free. Given the clubs mercenary owner, Watt really must have been the disruptive dressing room influence that the rumours had him as. Long and short of it, totally not a Robinson type of signing.
  10. If you recall, it was a very similar story on our last visit up there immediately after the semi.
  11. I dont know the guy personally and as an exile, I often listened to Brian and Mixlr. To say he is brutal etc is harsh. As someone who has little access to all things motherwell, and yes one sided it is, I enjoyed his passion. I dont think the mixlr broadcasts are intended to be polished to a sky or even radio Clyde standard? Arent they for Motherwell fans to listen to motherwell fans reporting on the games they are watching? For me its simple, if you think you can do better, you can; 1, volunteer to do it yourself 2, dont listen and listen to the professionals talking all things old firm/Aberdeen 3, go to the games If you struggle with the above, why ridicule those who make the effort?
  12. I had been looking forward to seeing McCall and his (former player) no2 at the valley next Tuesday, though suspected he may not last til then following Saturday. I hope the board dont get the bounce they were hoping for.
  13. Im with you on this but dont let it get to you. Largely due to being on the receiving end of what I believed to be unjustified abuse for having an alternative view, I too read more than post these days. As others have said, there are those who may be predisposed that way, perhaps as you are predisposed as being a glass is half full sort of guy. But I suppose thats the nature of football fan forums and us happy clappers I guess will just have to live with or ignore it.
  14. ......and scored at a World Cup.....for Brazil. Soz, couldnt resist it.
  15. Absolutely on the money !!! Im too young to have been able to watch Joe Wark but McKinnon is my lifetime favourite with Hammell a close second.
  16. I really detest Tom Boyd mostly for his dismissal of the part he played in sure an important team in our history. He himself has pretty much erased us from his own history and has in the main been somewhat discourteous of us since becoming a big time Charlie. None the less, I cant disagree, he was a great player for us who came through our youth system and had circumstances been different would have legendary status with Motherwell
  17. Wow, thats a big turn over. I know some of them will have retired but what about the rest? Have they moved on to higher levels or stayed at that level? Sorry for all the questions, its just that I havent found a website that gives you much information about the team
  18. Hi seasonal, are there any of the players left from the first season that saw them go unbeaten and that smashing cup win?
  19. As opposed to a 20 year old whos only played for EPL/championship development teams????
  20. I dont think youre being petty mate, these are just examples of why I havent watched sportscene for a very long time.
  21. Nobody can dispute that close seasons for big clubs are getting closer. I understand the frustration with the Brenda love in but isnt the difference here being that its a trip to South America? The quotes I read of Wishart mentioned Aberdeen as much as he did the unwashed.
  22. Why does what Wishart has said about allowing adequate rest periods make him a walloper?
