Hands up who would have liked to have done this to Callum Murray: BBC News The picture is a teaker

I was referring to the usual culprit concerning all things Humphreyesque. Steve, I distance myself from this comment above, feel free to unleash both barrels.

Lets have a guess ........ Officer Dibble?

His career appears to be doing a "Gow", while many a player have been written off and came to FP and reignited things, I'd only go for him for cover. With respect to the SFA thing, its certainly encouraging, good to see there is the first hint of some initiatives to generally improve the game. I suppose the only issue I can see is that hole between full U-21 internationals and everyone else, then another up to 24-25ish when the regular matches is really important.

It wouldn't have worked if I didn't. Artistic licence and all that

The only contract dispute with Goldenballs was he was on a years deal, Hammerfist obviously wanted it extended and we told him to boost as he was pish .... simples. Championship Champions QPR ...... ma baws!

Unfortunately all the defenders you mentioned have skill, composure and speed in addition to consistency and intelligence if not size. The higher up the football tree you go, the more funds you have available to buy the complete player. Where we are, we have to settle for only a few of those attributes with the hope they may develop one or more over time. If so, we get a return, if not we sell them to Sheffield Wednesday ..... In this league size and physicality does matter, it will do for quite a few years yet, much as we'd all want skill and technical ability to be more prominent. There are plenty of huge guys, hence why that particular attribute carries a small premium, a defensive brain and awareness is less common and consequently you have to pay handsomely for it ..... and we are Motherwell after all. I don't think you could say that Craigan is short of intelligence however, his lack of pace and physicality left us exposed too often last season. He wasn't the only culprit to be fair. I just feel in the recent past we've been bossed around too much in defence and despite an understandable naivety on a few occasions, Hutchinson looks like he's giving us what we need in the middle. This season I suspect he will really impress. Hence why I suggested another large guy to go alongside him. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have Wee Dougie (even now) in defence than Kenneth.

Massive, for me the best central defenders are always huge and use their physical attributes. Skillful, composed and fast would be a benefit but if we can find a guy with all 4 then he's probably out our price range.

Decorator is already halfway there. TheLip has a deck of playing cards with the Ace of Hearts showing a picture of Leeann.

Is that right Gok?

Not

Have you been a naughty boy then?

She'll be coming though surely, pay at the gate, no need to go via the club

All the best Jon ..... NEXT!

If any of our team are on the way out, I hope its down south, nothing sticks in the throat as much as a good player leaving and returning to FP in other colours. However for every Scott McDonald there is a Andy Roddie. On paper there should be more money on offer too. On a three year deal, 2 remaining I'd like to think we'd hold on to him until at least January, ideally next summer then cash in, however for all we know he could have a release clause in his contract and a eager agent.

Can't you get all your business done in one post Dibble? As for that website, I'm sure there is the odd bit here and there but you have to scour through a load of pish first e.g.: "16 Jun 2011 22:24:50 motherwell to hold press conferance tommorow, unvailing omar daley and rory mcalister."

What one?

Don't really understand your argument here, so we have to go with today's squad while everyone else gets to continue to add to their squad, up to the season opening day or the transfer window closing? Even if that was the case, the team I listed is a little light in a few areas, but by no means woefully weak, we'd still do OK. Of course if any team loses 2-3 players they would have their back up against the wall, even more so a hypothetical full physio table week before the squad report back for pre-season. Essentially though, what your suggesting won't happen and never was going to.

Does he share the same agent as Humphrey? Because maybe you're not a family member after all as was first thought.

Absolute nonsense. So we pretty much equal our league placing from the 09-10 season, haven't really lost integral players as yet, had two managerial upheavals running at Xmas (you would think we'd avoid that next year), we're maintaining our playing budget when everyone else's is decimated with a team growing and gelling together and a manager increasing his knowledge of the opposition and his teams capabilities. What precedent or reasonable argument can you have to suggest relegation is on the cards with a team from the following at present: ---------------------- Randolph -------------------------- Saunders - Hutchinson - Craigan - Hammell -- Hateley ----------- Forbes ---------- Lasley -- ------- Humphrey -------------------- Murphy ------- ------------------------ Higdon -------------------------- I think many overlook if almost everyone else in the SPL (gruesome twosome and Hearts - I don't know how, exempt) is losing around £400k from their wage pool it means they can't attract anyone of any quality ..... and that's our opposition. You're giving too much respect to some of the other pish in this league and how they will perform. However don't let the fact its mid June and there's still 2 months till the transfer window closes get in the way.

It does mention beating the queues of the day however.

£10 Adults, £5 kids, just posted on the 'fiscal'. Pre-sale available however pay at the gate OK too, seemed to suggest that wouldn't be an issue for the Leeds fans, despite what read so far. Official Site Info

The BBC have updated their website to include additional stats on each player, catchup to Sky no doubt, however it seems a little more in-depth. Good start, however could try harder ..... Yassin Moutaouakil is listed along with a load of guys we just released. BBC Player Stats Or is it the first time I've scrolled down far enough and noticed it?

Doesn't look like the housewife's favourite. Maybe not surprising as they also have our last game losing 3-0 to Celtic at FP.

There was a significant change in us when he went off against Dundee Utd. and continued until he returned, however I would argue that either Hutchison (even half a season) or Randolph. Check out Lasley's photo on SkySports, is that really him?
