Local Blackpool paper quoted 500K

Local rag down here, the Blackpool Gazette, report it as an agreed fee of £500K it must be true!

Hey!! But, ditto.

Speculate to accumulate. Now.

Just watched the highlights, disappointed we didn't get a penalty at the end. Maybe Stevie O'Reilly hadn't placed a bet on one.

At last, it may have taken 39 minutes but we have just been awarded our first free kick!

On the topic of Celtic's black players I found this on the net. THERE were actually four Brazilians on trial at Celtic, although only two, Ayrton Inacio and Marco Di Sousa, played in the reserves. The two others, Jorge Farah and Fernando Consul, played in practice games. Although all four only stayed a short time at Celtic, Inacio later turned out with Clydebank.

SPL record for us but not a club record. We did 6 away wins in a row in 81/82 Tynecastle would be great to equal that, Ibrox would be fantastic to beat it.

Leicester interest in Humphrey according to the Sunday Express how much?! Bite their hands off.

BBC news in the sports section next morning reported that the ground was evacuated due to a fire.

Home to Hearts in August, almost at the end of the game, two yellows.

BBC news channel appear to have realised that we won 1-0 but still say Celtic are top of the table. Oh dear.

Hold that result everyone. According to the BBC News just on our game finished goalless!

BBC can't count either

Three days notice!! Holy shit. I'll send you some half filled pages.

A few years back Partick's Rod McDonald picked up a second yellow for crossing himself as he left the pitch at half time in a match. The referee perceived it as a slight against the opponents (Rangers, if you must ask). That shows the bias of certain match officials to bend over and 'protect' the Old Firm but also shows the potential for the slightest action being misconstrued or twisted to suit the agenda of any steward or policeman.

I believe that Flow is our highest earner. £50 a week and all the pies he can eat.

Right enough Busta. While for the most part our defensive minded players did their job we lacked creativity where it mattered. I'm not blaming the ref for our defeat. In fact I'm not even sure we could have won playing against ten men for 81 minutes.

JPR Gordon, Rollo Kyle...Callum Murray. The better team won, no argument, but it could all have been so different. Callum's errors will not go into Motherwell folklore like the other referees listed above but his decisions influenced the course of the game and it could all have been so different. All we asked for before the game was a strong referee and we didn't get one. Sadly, we didn't get a great performance from our players either and even on a level playing field we might have been found wanting.

I'm so excited I think I've just shit myself!

It might not be a wedding but hopefully Celtic are gonna get fucked.

10th anniversary Scottish Cup winners top. Claret and amber Hurley trainers and claret and amber Ted Baker socks. Jeans in regulation blue to wind up the Tims.

I would suggest Tom Green who appeared in a sketch in a Motherwell top but I had to look up Wiki to remember his name myself!

And all to a background of Bruce Springsteen singing My Hometown. Then again, maybe not. Admittedly not the best joke in the world but your reaction is a tad harsh, no?

Whereas I think there's not much between the two and thought Hutchy did ok today. Only worry would be if his knock affects his fitness. As for Gunning, well, he lost Samaras at the second and did he not misjudge a header at Tannadice as well that cost us a goal? Apart from that I'd go with the rest of your team if we play a 4-5-1. If we go 4-4-2 I'd play Jeffers with Sutton up top, Humphrey and Murphy wide and Hateley at right back although it would put a lot of pressure on Lasley and Jennings to control the midfield.
