    Baraclough Out

    Good on Fraser Kerr. A man at his age with a wad of cash in his back burner going out on a saturday night to bang some beaver. I would do the exact same. Pity he ended up going home with Joe, but hey each to their own....

    Baraclough Out

    Our whole situation reminds me of Hibs last season. Total lack of confidence. Bringing in too many new players in January (When they have no real time to settle in). Bringing in a new Manager half way through the season. Unless some kind of miracle occurs in the next few games then I can't see anyway out of this. Our only real saving grace is that Ross County, St Mirren and Partick Thistle are all on the same run of form. I think it will be tight, but going on current form I can't see how we can escape relegation.
  3. I have no issue with flow interviewing the manager, but in his current role it's a nonsense and totally be llittles his role. Can you imagine Dempster interviewing McCall after the match???
  4. Why the fuck is our general manager interviewing our manager. That's utterly fucked up.
  5. I have been to one game this season so not really in a position to comment, but you have to wonder what's going on at the club. I went to that home euro game against Starjan and for 20 minutes we looked good. Then after that we could have lost about 5 goals. from the sounds of things we have actually got worse and worse as the season goes on. My gut feeling is we thought the squad in the summer would be fine to compete in the spl and everyone else strengthened and we did hee haw We gave older players silly contracts and signed no one to compete for their place and now it sounds like these older players have downed tools. We signed total tripe in the summer and I think this was McCalls trigger for fucking off. Since he went the confidence in the team was shot. We then pick an inexperienced young manager over a Dutch manager who has managed at a decent level at Europe and knows the club inside out and probably would have got the respect of the players. Whole season has been a downward slide to the shit fest it has now become. The up side is at least we will avoid a horror play off with either hibs or Rangers. We will be by a long distance 12th.
  6. We are going down. There is no way we will get out of this now.
  7. But how many people who are in Fir Park on Saturday at 3pm have spent at least 3 hours in the pub previously drinking? I would say a high percentage. Now how much trouble do you see in Fir Park? Almost zero. The point is that a few pints at a football match will not lead to trouble. Anyone who think it will need to stop harking back to the 80's when it was a totally different scenario.
  8. The banning of alchohol at football is a nonsense. You are in the ground for about 120 minutes. In that time you will probably spend most of your time in your seat watching the game. You may then spend 10 minutes waiting in a queue to get a beer - and you need to drink it in the concourse. What I am getting at is realistically you could have maybe one or two pints maximum at the game. So chances of getting drunk are tiny. Its a great way for clubs to bring in some much needed extra revenue in difficult times. Also all these people harking back to the dark days of football violence - thats a utterly pointless argument as back then you could bring a carry out into the games. I say bring it back.
  9. If Erwin and Moore are good enough they will get picked. It's up to them to get a game.
  10. Its quite amazing to think how many young high quality prospects in Scottish Football have gone down south and vanished into the ether. Very few have actually made it. I can count Andrew Robertson, James McCarthy, James McCarthur and Steven Naismith. Thats about it... I suppose Alan Hutton did well when he first went down there to.
  11. Pumped by Celtic at their patch is nothing new. It's the fact we are getting pumped by every other team as well. We are going down unless something can be done to this squad of players who quite frankly are a bunch of utter pant wettters and fall apart under the slightest bit of pressure. Maybe championship football is what this clubs needs. It's needs something as this season has been an utter disgrace.
  12. Pleased we got Pearo in. Dayton would be a good bit of business too.
  13. The East stand is essentially a corrugated iron shit fest and needs knocked down, but we have fuck all money so that's that.
  14. I remember the days the east stand was a sturdy beast that just pissed itself now and again... Fair enough about cancelling the game. These roasters saying it's embarrassing need to sit back and think about it. If one of those panels fell of and ripped a kids head off then the club would be utter fubar. Weather was shite yesterday and was utter shite today so the chances of fixing shit today was never going to happen. Chill the fuck out and build a snowman tomorrow.
  15. He was in India but he hated the food and was tired of wiping his arse with his hand.
  16. Oh there is no doubt we are a teamin utter free fall. We will be very lucky to avoid relegation. But that has nothing to do with Flow.
  17. Utter shite. The season we finished second with Higgy, Law, Ojamma etc was one of the best Motherwell teams I have ever seen. No luck about that. Also last season you don't finish secondby being lucky. You finish second by being hard to beat and taking your chances.
  18. Eh? That's right Alan is going to march into the boardroom and tell the people funding the club about how to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds??
  19. Hutch was brilliant that's why he is now playing for a top side in London. Our defence without him is a shambles.
  20. Aye exactly. See when Craig Brown, Mark McGhee and Jim Gannon were doing utter shite did anyone on here name check the General Manager as the reason for shite performances on the park? Our problems stem from our signing policy in the summer where we spent most of our budget on getting guys like Lasley, McManus and Hammel in long term deals, instead of doing what the other teams in the league have done which is spend their money on young talent from the lower league in England and up here. We sign Josh Law......and eh that's about it. Oh and also we are rooked.
  21. You know absolutly nothing about his health conditions and what caused it so how can you say it was brought on by the job?
