  1. There's a good argument to made for Gary McAllister. In my time, the player who came through our ranks who had the most success in his post-Motherwell career. Pettigrew, Graham, Russell, Cooper, McAllister, Coyne, McFadden, Higdon etc. all brought high quality to the team. And then there is Joe Wark - an fantastically gifted full back from a time when full backs were often more cloggers than footballers. His consistent high quality and his length of time with the club puts him in the genuine legend category. Which leaves me where I started in this thread. I don't know.
  2. I watch it on an ESPN+ subscription. I think it's around $9.95/month now (was $7.95 when I originally signed up). You get about 7 or 8 Championship games in a week, plus a few League One and League Two, FA Cup and Carabao Cup games. Not to mention a lot of the International games. There's also Spanish, German, Dutch and Belgian football, and a whole range of other sports from Cricket and Golf to Tennis and Swimming. And if you miss a game, they are usually available on-demand for a week or so. The Scottish Championship Friday night games used to be streamed on there too, but they aren't available this season. There are still a few cup games from Scotland shown from time to time. Most Smart TVs have the ESPN app available, but you can also watch on your computer or phone. I sound like I'm an ESPN+ shill, but it's easily the best value subscription I have.
  3. I hope Lamie bought a ticket to watch that goal.
  4. Good going forward and poor defending is the way full backs work these days. Drives me nuts, but you see it everywhere.
  5. Was watching the game today where wee Al score the opener for Luton's win against Norwich. (Norwich equalised, but after Luton went down to 10 men they found a last minute winner).
  6. Rangers have been pretty poor the last few games I've seen them play. However, given our propensity for gifting soft goals, we'll struggle to take anything from this.
  7. After bravely digging in to see out (and off) a 2 goal lead, time to take your pick...
  8. Didn't need VAR to see that was a red. I'd have the fear if it was 0 - 0 or even 1 - 0, but surely even we can see this out* *standard Motherwell disclaimers apply
  9. Class finish there from a tight angle.
  10. We need to start hitting shots first time instead of taking the touch.
  11. And there's a new feature where you have to read every one of Robbo's Boy's posts before it let's you change them back.
  12. We'll need to deploy 11 sweepers this week to get the game on.
  13. With all the money we've spent on stadium upgrades, you'd have thought someone might have lagged the pipes.
  14. I'd imagine that insurance covers the bulk of the repairs. We will be losing money on the rescheduled game, however, as apparently tomorrow's hospitality was sold out and a large crowd was on the cards as fans returned to proper football after the break. No way we pull in as much money for a Tuesday night game in February.
  15. Sounds like we didn't take any precautions when the forecast was sub-zero temps, with "loads of the stand frozen (so no running water or heating) and those parts which have thawed causing extensive flooding damage"
  16. Liverpool at Ibrox showed how far away EPL teams are from Scottish Premiership teams. When you consider that many of their players could literally buy our club with a year of their salary it's hardly surprising. It's literally a different world they operate in. Pre-covid, when our club had a turnover of £4.9 million, Spurs had a turnover of nearly £490 million. That's quite a staggering gulf and while it's easy to say money isn't the only factor in a team's success, there isn't any team in England with a £4.9 million turnover challenging for a Champions League spot.
  17. If the players don't want their medical issues paraded around the daily red-tops then there's not much the club can do about it. It's the players' right to keep it private if they want to. Social media and 24hr news cycles means we are all keen to get hourly updates on everything going on. When Robinson used to discuss injuries and availability, 90% of it was BS anyway, so I'm not sure it really helps.
  18. I was being polite, but at least someone understood!
  19. I don't mind bright colours, I just don't like fluorescent bright colours (on a shirt) - for me, it just makes them feel a bit cheap and tacky. Reminds of the handwritten flourescent signs you see outside shops full of tat with "Everything on Sale" scribbled on them. Maybe it's because I lived through the outbreak of 80s Nevica that I'm quite happy to leave that in the past. Anyway, I get it's just a matter of personal taste and you can't please everybody. I do appreciate the thought behind it.
  20. I love the idea. I cannot stand fluorescent kits. So I'm conflicted on this one.
  21. What Catalonian man doesn't spend his youth daydreaming about the sultry temptresses of North Lanarkshire?
  22. Although the film version of Garfield was a total dog.
