My mate who is a dons fan says he is superb. Best young player they have coming through the ranks and they seem to have a few these days.

Is Kris Boyd still playing football. I thought he had quit the game to be honest.

they have a sugar daddy

Harkins is shite - one good game in about 20

I don't agree with that. There are plenty of scouts from top English clubs up here all the time as they can essentially get our players for buttons. Look at McCarthy. Wigan paid about 1 million for him. Now it seems Arsenal are lining up a bid of 8 million to get him. That gets scouts and agents very interested in our game as the profit margins are huge. Also there are a huge amount of SPL player out of contract this season and I would not be surprised to see a few of them at top end Championship / lower EPL clubs - that includes Randolph. Look at guys like Naismith, Snodgrass, McCarthur, Caldwell - all have moved down south and performed very well and getting regular games in the EPL.

Fuck a duck...

Fucking stop now its chronic.

We will have not needed to pay the rest of his contracted wage - that might have been the agreement. So no fee is involved. Also maybe it's a chance to free up a wage for a new player in January?

Twitter is a way for players to chat to fans direct which can have its benefits, but the flip side is you are then open to abuse. Ojamma was right in what he said, but as others have mentioned he is an employee of Motherwell and probably shouldn't used twitter to show his feelings. A direct message to the guy or even reporting him would be better. Diggle is right though, we have a real cancer in the Motherwell support and some of the abuse our players get is vile. Especially considering how well we have done over the last year. It's no suprise we perform far better away from home. As for today's game sounds like we were unlucky not to get something from the game. Them the breaks.

Kerr has been pretty poor. Much rather have Saunders back.

Also we are dealing with a guy who thinks our cup run to the final and our third place finish have nothing at all to do with the manager. Lets be honest here - we have lost some major experienced players and we have not had the money to replace them with similar quality. Our current central defence is very young and inexperienced so of course will leak goals. The bottom line is that the players respect McCall and I am pretty sure Motherwell FC are happy with the manager - so why rock the boat becuase of a few defeats?

You get the same responses because you continue to spout the same shite. This season - Ross County? Dundee? Kilmarnock - all games we have game back from either a draw or being behind. I have not looked at last season. So the whole of last season was down to luck and the players and not one single element of the success of last season was anything to do with the Manager? Do you know how fucking stupid that sounds? I agree with this and we have let the heads go down in too many games and the Rangers game was a total disgrace, but to get knocked out by a very solid Aberdeen side last night is not the end of the world. Yes we played poor, but look at it this way. Arsenal got knocked out by Bradford and never managed a shot on goal until the 70th minute. Thats football... This is the cherry on the top - you come out with your bonkers post and then can't even offer a solution at all! So lets get rid of McCall and not have a manager - that might work eh? My thoughts are we are going through a very tough spell right now and our squad is at breaking point and could become critical by January, but I just can't see how we can justify sacking McCall considering our league form this season has been excellent and we are currently on course for another very good season if we can keep the results going.

I don't shout at the players because I think it's pointless and its also a unnecessary. Nobody can be perfect all the time and we have a team of limited ability footballers who will have bad days. Nobody expects to get called a c**t because they are struggling at work.

This means the square root of fuck all. "Since 2007 all of MJCs post have contained 76% negativity and 24% horse shite" - Optajohnstone

Has Lee Miller currently got a club? Seen him about Motherwell and his kids go to the same nursery as mine. Not that I am saying he should be a Motherwell signing target, just quite suprised he may not be in football at the moment.
-
You would have to remember that game wouldn't you. Bet you have the highlights in yer wank bank!
-
It is you began this daft Higdon criticism and now you revel in it. Higdon has been excellent for us and is on track for another season with us in double figures. That's all I ask from a Motherwell striker. You comment about disappearing in games is shite. He is a lone striker, when we are not playing well he is isolated, but he must remain up front - or we won't score.
-
And in one post you have summed up why we have Higdon. If he scored with ease against every club in the spl then he wouldn't be playing for us. Also yer Higdon bashing has now become a fishing trip.
-
That's my point. They need to market the game far better. Stop taking second best. Teams in Sweden Norway Denmark etc are not struggling - they have tv deals and income that can allow them to worry about the quality of the team on the park and not the balance sheets. I firmly believe we will lose all our out of contract players and will not replace them like for like and it's not just us facing this problems - it's most teams in the SPL. This drives the quality down even further. All they talk about in Scottish football is the lack of money in the game. Well fucking do something about it!
-
My feeling is there is a general apathy to football right now. Unless Motherwell come out and actually say 'we are fucked and we need £1 million by Christmas' then I doubt many people will be putting there hands in their pockets. Also clubs can't keep expecting us fans to shell out small fortunes on our teams. We need a system in place where money is generated by not only the fans but many other sources. German football is packed to the gunnels most weeks because its cheap as chips. Why is it cheap because they have a model where all clubs in the football league get money - equally shared.

I can understand getting rid of Forbes. He had his chance and the majority of the time was shite. But Lawless was a stupid move. He is on fire for the best team in the first division and as many have said would be a much better option that Omar Sharif!
-
We don't have any money to sign new players you fucking morons. Just back the players we have cos the player budget we have right now means we can sign no one near the quality of Higdon.
