Excellent player and I think only health issues stopped him going on to take Hull to the Premiership.

Spot on. He is basically saying what fans have been saying for years. But because he's a manager it is wrong And people wonder why Scottish Football is in a shocking state, and wonder why people don't listen to the fans. Well Gannon has now started saying the same things the fans have been saying for years, and well some fans are no outraged at the fact. Only in football

To be honest most people who think we're going to take a gubbing are the same ones that started shitting themselves when Hearts beat Celtic and Dundee United beat Celtic as they were playing us next. Hearts are fucking woeful and well Dundee United were not in the game until the less man hoodoo came into it. It's the way of things on here. Still see 0-0, 1-1 or 1-0 either way in it.

What, we're going into Administration again I read it he was wanting to talk about the team not referees or anything like that.

His presence is welcome as much as any other poster on here. Now can we put this to bed. This is the MFC Club chat section. If you want to talk about United, Premiership or any other football not related to Motherwell FC, the players, referees for game or anything else I forget to mention to do with MFC please post in Other Football.

Does it matter? People accused him and United fans of being a glory hunters because they were not from Manchester (technically nor is Manchester United ) yet we have fans supporting Motherwell who don't live, or have never lived in the town of Motherwell. Are they glory hunters too as most of them have local football clubs not as good as Motherwell (those glory hunters include living in places like Wishaw and Bellshill but supporting Motherwell)? Now where were we? Oh yeah, good to see you paying to come and watch Motherwell

I think they should both get a webcam and have a cock measuring competition! Fucking joke Agreed

Yes, yes he is. For fuck sake, nothing like holding grudges - over a Football Forum. Traffic, good to hear you are coming up for the Accies game, unfortunatley it's not much of a derby atmosphere at Fir Park. Now if it was Airdrie-Clydebank United (Or against the Old Firm) it probably be a little bit better atmosphere but Fir Park is a ghost stadium on most match days - Accies is no different. Although a merry band of East Standers try and trying to change that.

Going off topic but I agree. But sometimes it just needs a team of players and playing in a position to make you look good and produce. Another example is Darren Fletcher, could play for us and no one would rate him as highly as he is rated (even if his own personal performance level didn't drop - as the performance levels of those around him would cause him problems) - doesn't make him any better or worse as a player be he with Manchester United or Motherwell. Yass with his struggles at Charlton etc. could be just the wrong club at the wrong time. With the right club, Yass could play in the Premiership and do rather well - what you need to ask yourself though, is that club currently in the Premiership? Will that club still be in the Premiership in 6 months time? Or is the Agent just doing his job (very well) in being economical with the truth? I have no doubt Premiership Scouts have been up to watch Motherwell and if it was against Rangers or Celtic then he would have caught their eye.

Most of those will chancing their arm in League 1 or lower end Championship I feel.

Probably remembers we have the Old Firm in our next two games so he's leaving it for those games as he wants to have some money in January to spend on his family - instead of paying the SFA in fines.

Eh... that's why I called it "Premiership Standard" with the use of "". No such thing. Some times a player just finds a club and it sticks - look at McBride at Hibs. A lot of their fans are creaming themselves over him while, many Motherwell, Darlington and Falkirk fans were glad to see the back of him... and Hibs are the "better, and bigger" club of them all

There's animosity in the Club Section? Or have I just walked into a whooosh moment?

But according to many Alexander is not Scotland International Standard, and was never a Defensive Midfielder in a million years - instead Hartley (who plays for Bristol City now) should have been in there - does that mean Scottish National standard is now higher than the Premiership standard

Most of, if not all the Burnley team - especially all those that left from Scotland in the summer are not "Premiership standard", not doing them any harm.

Agree with mon_da_well regarding Sutton. I think he has done well this season. Wins many of his battles in the air against defences, links up well with The Duke and if we can tie up the Duke for the rest of the season (or longer) then I think we have the makings of a very good partnership.

You say Fraser is pish yet you want to give the young Pole a chance, the same Polish keeper Gannon himself dropped when it looked like Ruddy was going to be injured. I would love to see the mistakes Fraser has made (that no other current Motherwell goalkeeper hasn't - ala Ruddy). Is he better than Ruddy? No. Is he as good as Ruddy? No - but how many teams in the World have two keepers of the same standard? Fraser is a solid back up. As for Foran Apart from the Old Firm and Hibs, not many teams if any have a better partnership than us IMHO. Sutton and The Duke compliment each other well.

If it is the same team that played at the weekend then McGeady will be up against Hammell - unless Yass is going to be our left back? As for the result - will either be 0-0, 1-1 or 1-0 either way

So your defence will consist of... Hammell, Reynolds, Saunders, Hutchison and Page? 5 players for 4 positions won't end well in the long run... And why are us using "@@" in the word shite? We didn't ban that word did we

Before I usually drink at the Conan Doyle and meet up with old work mates that are Hibs fans - there is also a Hibs bar that you can go in if you're accompanied by a regular... can't remember the name of it noo

Eh.... the forums (be it here or FPC)? I know you're not talking about the media. The only way they'll ask the hard questions is because of what Gannon is doing now. If he shut up they wouldn't ask any hard questions...

Continous? WTF? Afghanistan is the only "disastrous" one - so one out of 25 Nations where our armed forces are based = continous

Has anyone answered what two countries our armed forces are currently fucking up? I think the fact they're building infrastructure in Cumbria so two parts of the same town can be connected can't be seen as "fucking up" so where are these two countries? Going through my list again I cannot find them. Malky, you like to use it but what has the fact the British Government declaring an "illegal" war got to do with our Armed Forces? They don't get to decide and the ones I spoke to were not too happy about being sent there but they did it because they agreed to go (actually technically they didn't by signing up since it was technically the first offensive war in such a long time).

Between the Duke and Sutton for me. Both did their jobs and never gave up. Going for Sutton this week though.

He was about 5 yards onside from where I was sitting. Right in line with it too. That move deserved a better end to it than a wrongly given offside. I have to admit when their first player was sent off, I never cheered. I had my head in my hands. But I thought Sutton and the Duke were fantastic together, the never say die attitude at times from the Duke caused the "experienced" defence no end of trouble.
