Is that the only come back now. An insult. Excellent. What a way to prove your point.

But he failed to get rid of him. Gannon couldn't even do that right

Same way the Pro-Gannon gang have told themselves the players are to blame for him not being here any longer, and that Craigan and his gang got him the boot. Which is absolute bollocks.

What great state did Gannon leave the club in? Out of all his signings only one was contracted past the coming summer. Ruddy, The Juke and Yass were leaving in January with Jennings, Coke, Hateley and O'Brien's contracts running out in the summer. Saying that, Brown signed up a few young players on new contracts, not to mention Hateley and Ruddy/Juke signing on to the end of the season thanks to Brown.

3-1. Murphy, Sutton and Hutchinson on the scoresheet. MOTM will be Jennings and we'll be 2-0 up before Kilmarnock score and we'll have a torrid time holding onto the lead before getting a corner and Hutchinson putting his head through the ball from said corner (delivered by Hammell)

Thing is, if we did sign a striker last minute half the people on here would have said it was a "panic buy"

Wouldn't you when you have teams paying 6 figure sums for emergency loans and 7 figure for end of season loans?

Jennings and Hateley he brought in - would have been 2 of those 10.... While another 3 (Ruddy, The Juke and Yass would have been sent back in January - although maybe Yass would have stayed as Gannon liked him).

By that, does that mean Andy Carroll is a better player than David Villa? Or Fernando Torres is on a different planet to David Villa? In other words, transfer fees are all down to what a team is willing to pay/receive. We seen it as better than nothing. Which in fairness was exactly right thing to do.

What fuck the result as long as I throw in at least one debutant every so many games, even if I have the perfect(ish) player on the bench to sort out our current problem? Aye excellent plan... On paper Gannon had the right frame of mind regarding "playing" football, but he was unable to put that across as his form of good football (defensive possession football) is useless in a British League. Good football is not impossible (we've shown that at times under all our managers, but it has to be quick attack-minded football). Aye it's by necessity but then again - we've not gone out and signed 11-15 veterans over the last two managers have we? So it is still a youth based squad from Brown and now McCall at this time. The way Gannon was going we could have lost 10 First Team players in either Janaury or the Summer.

Did he though? There is playing young players/youth players because they are better than what we have, but then there is playing young players to make yourself look good. You cannot honestly say putting on Meechen against Celtic was a great idea when we had John Sutton on the bench, and needed a goal. And for the record, we're still got one of the youngest squads in the league...

Actually heard the same rumour, and it is accepted by many Rangers fans I speak too. It came about as he has been named in the preminary squad for many of the Rangers League Cup games but got himself "injured" at the last minute.

Aslong as they were free agents in time for the window to close (which is still officially, according to FIFA 54 minutes away) then yes we can.

tbf compared to the UBO or whatever they are called, our smoke bomb just looked like someone had sparked up a 50 year old fag....

So.... with this being breaking news in mid December, us being told that the evidence is strongly stacked against Jennings, with the SFA asking us to ban him until they or the bookies finish their investigation (thankfully we told them where to go as he's been excellent for us) are they any closer on getting the answer for us all? Or have they just decided to sweep it under the carpet as the bookies have fuck all on Jennings and fucked up on their odds setting?

Any chance of any buses running fae West Lothian or at a push Edinburgh?

I don't think bad marking was the actual problem, but more tha fact not knowing where the rest of his defence was (rather than where Naismith was). As it was a counter attack, , when the ball came across I think Hutch and Craigan moved towards the front and centre of the box. I think they (wrongly - in both thinking it and not knowing for fact) that Hammell had the back post covered.

Agreed (get him signed up asap)! Special mention to Hammell, Lasley and Sutton (get him signed up long term asap)

Done. Good idea when creating threads to have title as close to the topic as possible!

I get the jist, but I'm going and have never lived in Motherwell in my life. Be interested to see how many Motherwell fans are actually living in Motherwell... Also, doesn't say much imagine if all those that support Motherwell that lived in Bellshill, Wishaw etc. supported their local club...

Trip to Harthill to play football (early kick-off so they can go to the game) and then heading to Glasgow the 'moro! Can't fucking wait. 2-1 Motherwell with Murphy getting on the score-sheet, us scoring the winner in the 93rd minute. It's fucking happening I tell ye!

28, 29 in February.

Emergency loans do not count in England (only if they leave in England). An emergency loan is any loan that lasts 93 days or less. THis is the main problem McCall has about the whole affair. As a player can play for a handful of clubs if he stays within England but only two if he wants to move away from England.

FFS I wasn't planning to do this until late tomorrow night! Now the game cannie come quick enough!
