  1. True. But it dwarfed ours the season they were relegated.
  2. Good move for both parties there I think.
  3. I expect them to comment on call. Then they need to stop and actually commentate on the game so we know what's happening on the pitch. Mr Mullen manages that quite successfully.
  4. Unfortunately, it's an incredibly biased opinion that rants on over the play. If you want to listen to that, you'd be as well leaving an open mic in the East Stand. I had to stop listening to the MFC TV commentaries because they turned into 90 mins of "COME ON REF!!" and "THAT WAS NEVER A FOUL!!" To be fair, the Mixlr commentaries have been better, but like Haggis, I had to switch off after the red card as it became painful to listen to. Hopefully a one off, as it's a great service.
  5. More revisionism in here than Doanld Trump's twitter feed. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Safe trip home.
  6. I think McGhee was right when he said that if we get a left winger it will be someone we need to develop the same way as we developed Marvin rather than a direct replacement. Options are often limited in January, though, and creative midfielders are in demand, so even if that's what he wants - and given we won't be paying transfer fees - it might not be possible this window.
  7. I'm not sure about Dempster getting her jotters, but with the extra money on offer in the top flight next season I'm not surprised Hibs want a slice. It's also why I said that Pearson to Hibs would not surprise me in the slightest.

    Albo 10

    The only real Motherwell fans the club has. Little disappointed we went with the Hunter Stand instead of the Albo 10 stand.
  9. The only blood pressure issues CMWellfan has caused me this year is the worry I might burst a vessel laughing at him.
  10. I would never point to Rob Green as an example of good goalkeeping as that guy is liable to implode at any time. However, the defence is a unit, and if Samson isn't going to come off his line, others need to deal with that. I mentioned in another thread that Jim Leighton made a career out of never leaving his 6 yard box or catching a cross. His defenders knew that, and Big Eck and Willie Miller took care of it instead. Of course, that was a particularly high quality defence, and I'm not pretending ours is as good, but there is no reason we can't adopt the same approach. I suspect it's easier to teach a defender to sit deeper and clear those balls than to teach Samson to catch them.
  11. Always been a believer that when it's windy you shoot on sight. Take advantage of the conditions. Glad to see we did that and got a break. Moult's play for the second goal was excellent - as was Skippy's finish.
  12. Often a battle up there, but our record in recent years hasn't been too bad. Would have settled for a point. Delighted with 3. Another 3 againt Accies would be a nice way to end the first half of the season.
  13. Kennedy wasn't injured - he was ill, apparently, and couldn't train for a long time (hence McGhee's remarks about how much weight he had lost). Doesn't, of course, means that McGhee rates him - just that there was a real medical reason for him not playing.
  14. Are those guys in charge of similar budgets? They always seem to have more to spend than us. I think we mostly know our strongest lineup, but injury has prevented us from playing it on a number of occasions. While the results have been far from ideal this season so far, I'm encouraged by the number of U20s making appearances. Not only that, but we have been extending their contracts too. Exactly what we have all been moaning about in prior seasons. If McHugh and Lucas can stay fit that will give us options in midfield and a fit Kennedy will also provide another option.
  15. Is it not Myanmar these days? Also, I'm not sure you can pray to Buddha, even for a something as important as a football team.
  16. The problem is if they aren't getting a game it could be 2 or 3 months before they are fully match fit. I've lost count of the number of English league players we have signed that turn up off the pace. Even the successful ones like Porter took a while to adapt.
  17. Nobody lets their good players go in January. Unless we sell someone after an exceptional offer, I don't expect to see many new faces coming in.
  18. Dropped for who? How well do you think Brill is playing to not be first team starter?
  19. Lucky Samson didn't miss the spot kick or Christmas would have been cancelled.
  20. You mean a stream where Aberdeen haven't scored already?
  21. Aye it's good to watch and, apparently, the starting lineup at Aberdeen had an average age of 17.
