  1. If I was a betting man, I'd bet Facebook is happy to provide as much data on its users purchasing habits as a client is willing to pay for. I imagine that will only increase when they launch their new crypto currency. There are also literally thousands of examples of apps (iOS and Android) that run services that send data back to marketing and advertising companies freshly plucked from your phone. And that's barely scratching the surface.
  2. There's a piece in The Scotsman today ranking the most in-demend Premiership kits. Ours is 4th after Rangers, Celtic and Hibs. The lack of sponsor and classic away design seem to be working as far as sales are concerned.
  3. Our pressing game had certainly dropped before Cole came on. Thought it gave us renewed energy when he and Hylton came on.
  4. A number of the law updates have been sensible changes. It just seems to be the handball "improvements" that have been misguided.
  5. Aye, it's a no-brainer to get Rangers wages and play in England compared to getting Motherwell wages and maybe a few starts in our first team. If he applies himself there it could be a very good loan spell for him.
  6. I can see both sides to this one. The fan in me wanted him to stay and see if he could get back to his previous form. However, there's not much financial security with short contracts every couple of months. I'd rather have taken the chance and offered him a full season.
  7. I thought he had a decent game and not quite sure what it is that make some fans think he's poor. Two footed winger who scored a goal. Will be even better when he's fitter.
  8. TBF, despite many posters having written him off as a lighweight already, Seedorf scored one, laid one on a plate for Scott, was denied another by a foul in the box (but stayed on his feet) and had another effort go narrowly wide. He can cut inside and shoot with his right foot or go wide and cross with his left. He's far from the finished article, but his first few games have been better than Ariyibi's first few games and he turned out OK.
  9. I can only assume the ref thought Hylton was illegally holding off the defender before he was dragged down. Clearly wrong, but at least it had no bearing on the final result.
  10. Cole looks likes he could play the lone striker role if we get him fit enough for 90 mins. He offers more physicality, hold up and pressing than Long. Having said that, if Long can get a bit sharper in front of goals he could be looking at a decent tally this season. Another option up top, however, wouldn't be a bad idea.
  11. Nothing yet. However, if we are trying to negotiate add-ons etc. that's to be expected. It seems like it took us a few months to get all the paperwork in place for McKinstry's move, and that was with both clubs fully on board with the deal. If we were just going for the straightforward, standard comp I think it would have had to been sorted by now.
  12. I thought Scott had a great game, but thought he was even better at Accies last weekend.

    Vs Hibs

    Seedorf got Jonathan Sutherland's Man of the Match in his BBC report.
  14. I'm pretty sure that being much better than our opposition in a game will lead to success. To predict how we will perform against the team in the next match based on that is a mugs game. We were much better than Hibs today too - so it's still working. Maybe this simplistic approach has something to it.
  15. The problem is that the OF want to leave their colt teams behind so their fans can continue to pollute our stadiums when their big team is too far away to watch.
  16. And yet "mediocre" was enough to boss the game from start to finish. Although Polworth and Campbell were better than that.
  17. It helps make you look even less informed than usual - and that is a pretty low bar.
  18. It's incredible you weren't able to read and understand 2 full sentences. I'll paste the first part again. Maybe if we all keep our posts to one sentence and small words you'll be able to keep up. I started the sentence after that with "And". In our language, that means in addition to what was stated in the previous statement. Hope this helps!
  19. Polworth for me. He was at the centre of most of the good things we created in the first half. And the 3 consecutive corners he took (when we scored from the 3rd) all had the Accies defence tied in knots.
  20. UEFA are pretty weak on these things, though, as their track record on racist abuse demonstrates. For example:
  21. I see the forecast is warm and dry, too. So expect the groundsmen to be up to their old trick of just watering the half Accies are attacking.
  22. For a start, he's never recaptured the form he had prior to his long-term lay off. That's as good a motive as any as, unfortunately, it makes him an expensive luxury.
  23. Sadly, I doubt they care. They seem to make most of their money from their "creative" sponsorship deals and this smacks of "doing it because we can, not because we need to".
