Yeah, I wasnt in favour of our chances WITH Kipre, without him I fear we will get ripped apart cause whats left player wise is slower than a week in the jail. The only positive thing is Hibs leak goals too, so its less likely to be 5-0 and more likely to be 5-2/3

Weve probably taken 500 grand wi a % sell on, knowing if he has even a half decent season at Wigan, they will sell him for £9m plus next summer. Gutting how shitey Scottish Football is treated but money talks

Hybrid are miles better its something like 90-95% grass with 5-10% fibres sewn through to make the pitch more hardwearing

That was brutal! No creativity and Zero goal threat. We have a full team out and are second best to everything. "Pre Season" or not, if we go out of a league cup group including QOTS,Clyde,Edinburgh City & Stranraer, the managers jacket has to be on a shoogly peg. Thats fucking abysmal.

Thats how Ross County won the u20 league the season before last. They had 5 overage players every game pretty much

There IS a reason, he isnt suited to our "style" of football! Which makes his initial signing all the more puzzling. Personally I think Bigi and Campbell could link real well with either Cadden or another DM depending on the team were playing but it aint gonna happen unfortunately. Bigi was signed to Newcastle for 7 figures and was Coventry's POTY and one of the best midfielders in league one when we signed him so I simply do not believe he isnt talented enough to break into our team. Robbos priorities just dont involve him

You do realize weve just lost today to a team a division BELOW QOS yes? We SHOULD steamroll all 4 teams in this group, today shows what happens when you fail to respect your opponents AND when you fill your team with cloggers barely able to complete even basic football skills

Surely thats the point of the 'article'. Now Saint Brendan will be asked his opinion and he can say Kipre has previous wi Dembele! This shite has big Cedric's card marked from the minute we start playing. Wouldnt be surprised to see an early violent conduct red card for him, ruling him out of the first Rangers game!

Never actually read it myself, just saw the headline in a paper in the bakery I was in. I dont read the rags and havent for a good few years, but loads of others do, and shite like this just fans the flames of the bigot twins

I see in the papers today we have Ryan Jack in tears telling everyone how big bad Kipre set out to hurt him and end his season! Looks like the "Motherwell Bully Boys" , "Strong Arm Tactics" and general nonsense about us is starting early this season. They obviously need to protect Stevie G's delicate wee superstars

What the fuck is that meant to be? Lol

Id be shocked if that WASNT the case. The only positive with that is he surely cant be any worse this season, and theres no way he can be as bad as his last performance

Eh? I literally said the opposite of this lol. The signings are underwhelming in terms of excitement and name value. But our squad is stronger now than it was in May

Thoroughly underwhelming signing purely because I was hoping for a more attacking goal threat from midfield. Now it seems in Cadden, Rose, Bigi , Gorrin , Campbell, Grimshaw we have 6 very similar players vying for the 2 midfield spots beside McHugh. Still, he may come good and be the answer! At least he looks like he knows what a forward pass is. Decent summer so far, 5 in, nothing to get excited about in terms of player quality, but overall a stronger squad than the one that ended the season.

Dont believe that for a second, but that would be a stunning bit of business

Isnt it the case that cross border transfers DONT incur a fee if the player is 22 or 23? Im sure weve used that rule to our benefit. Could it now return to bite us?

Totally understand that, but why say anything in May when the deal obviously wasnt signed? When it does come, Im hoping for understated and classic. Amber top wi Claret Hoop, White Shorts and Black Socks please!

This is some carry on to be honest, now a month since we were meant to be getting this kit and still utter silence. Why bother saying anything at all in May? Just do our usual and release the kit a couple days before the season starts Makes the club look very amateurish after all the inroads they have made in other areas.

Nah. He's a right back, we already have Tait & Cadden in emergencies

Ach so the 20's are binned for reserves? So our Academy now ends with U17? Thats mental

On Buckie Thistle social media "Motherwell Fc have come in to offer Sam Morrison a full time contract and we have agreed not to stand in his way" followed by usual best wishes etc

Weird first signing, Sam Morrison from Buckie Thistle! 20yo centre half released by Ross County last week. Too old for U20, and what does this mean for Barry Maguire?

Mitchell Van Der Gaag building quite the coaching reputation in Holland now. Another great season with Excelsior and now he's apparently wanted by Vitesse and his name is being mentioned as a possible for PSV.

For the first game Id love QOS at Palmerston or anyone at home. Im driving home from Southerness on the saturday so fancy a detour and an early season match

The midfield wasnt outnumbered, they just didnt know how to track the Celtic players movement. They were 4-2-3-1 , our problem was that our 5 man midfield and 3 man defence had no idea where to be, and our tactic of shelling 60 yard balls to Bowman & Main allowed Lustig & in particular Tierney to push on. Thats the big change in the second half! After the goals we changed to what looked like a 4-4-2 which didnt really help, but at ht we changed to 4-3-3 and pushed Cadds up which kept their back 4 in check and gave us 3v3 in the middle with full backs to keep an eye on the wingers. It at least gave us a chance
