Anyone else old enough to remember when people at least made an effort with these?

Aye, I miss the safe hands and club stewardship of John Boyle.

Undandy. Take your pick...

Great work from Paton to beat his man and stand up a cross just begging for a finish.

I'm watching the video stream right now, same as usual.

Despite my snark, I do agree with the issues around yellow cards. I understand why they are in place, however, as without them, there would be 100 yellow card appeals every week from across the leagues.

Another 15 of these and they'll be half way towards making up for Dunne staying on the park after his assault on Mika.

TBF, there have been quite a few comedic performances on the park this season too.

Had a bit of a cough this morning, but I'll be fine for Saturday.

Big article about Mika in today's Guardian

You forgot the option where, like the Euros, he qualifies and then plays horrible tactics that see us fail worse than miserably - also like the Euros. Quite honestly, there are so many teams that qualify for the World Cup now, getting to the finals is barely a pass mark.

It's not the trips abroad that are the problem. They don't want to upset the Old Firm by shaking up the current development structure and making things a bit more equal across the board. Last thing Rangers and Celtic want is stronger competition from the wee teams.

It is.

He's better than Kenny McLean, though,

Clarke doesn't exactly have a stellar track record of giving new caps even in friendlies. Meanwhile the U21s are getting gubbed 6 - 1 by Iceland as Gemmill continues his stellar youth coaching career.

I think you've confused us with Queen's Park.

I think the Scottish international side is in serious trouble thanks to years of short-termism and fundamental failings in the grass roots of our game. The Nations League quarter finals today, however, were all excellent.

Clarke should have gone at the end of the Euros. I'll give him credit for taking an omnishambles of squad and getting some results from them, but he hit a brick wall after that. His performances at both Euros exposed his lack of coaching skill and tactical nous with abject performances in every game. He has taken us as far as his talent permits, and needs to head off to a Director of Football role at some lower league team.

Souness had partially frozen him out at Ibrox after he preferred guys like Mark Walters, and Cooper wanted to play every week. Terrible decision by Souness to let him move on, but fantastic for us.

Scott McTominay sticking up for Lennon today:

I think that fact that we brought in Bobby Russell before that just made it a perfect fit for Cooper. The two of them could read each other's minds.

I didn't think he was done, because he was a player who relied on skill rather than speed. I wasn't hopeful, however, that we'd be able to sign him as Hearts had been the front runners. So was delighted when I picked up the Evening Times outside Argyle Street Station to read the news. In the mix for the finest player I've seen in a Motherwell jersey, but some stiff competition.

Fun season after a couple of really poor ones. Also loved that kit, but as I mentioned in the other thread, since I started following the team in 1970, we only had a hoop for one season prior to this, so design-wise it wasn't unusual. A little yellow, but nowhere near as yellow as the old Admiral one. Plus I do like an Adidas shirt.
