  1. I saw him play once, but only in the "Motherwell Old Babes" team - I think at the Joe Wark testimonial.
  2. Ironic that many of the posters cutting and pasting song titles from wikipedia as "jokes" are the same ones that complain about lazy journalists cutting and pasting "news" from websites.
  3. I don't think you'll be any closer this time.
  4. After his recent sacking, let's throw Michael Carrick's hat into the ring and see if any media outlets pick it up. (That's how you do it, right? You don't have to submit an application, you just have to throw in a hat?)
  5. It hasn't dragged on, though. It's barely started.
  6. At a time when we are looking for more ideas to generate income, intentionally removing a chunk of our revenue stream doesn't seem like good business. I'd also be curious to know how many fans in the shirt buying population want a sponsorless option because I'd imagine that, kids being kids, most of them want a kit that looks exactly like the one the players are wearing' sponsor and all. I'm not against it, but I'd need to see a breakdown of the financials before I was in favour of it. One thing is for sure, and that's you won't make the up the gap in revenue by upping their price.
  7. Better they take time to get the right man in than make a quick hire like Maurice Malpas or Stevie Hammell.
  8. I'd say it was also too fussy. Doesn't need all those extra fine pinstripes. Designers these days can't help themselves these days. Just because technology makes it easy and possible to keep adding things, doesn't mean you should.
  9. You beat me to it, but I agree 100%.
  10. Given that I'm about 40 years older than their target demographic for shirt sales, my thoughts are irrelevant. If it was a nod to 100 years ago, however, I would have kept it stripes only.
  11. The Record reporting that Riku Danzki was arrested in relation to a betting scandal in Australia.
  12. I should have bought a lottery ticket the day I posted this.
  13. Of course. And every few years, the big clubs are edging closer towards the European Breakaway League they desperately want as new structures of the competitions are adopted.
  14. It was a joke, but based on the fact that PSG have not only invested in some of the best teenagers in Europe. but had no problem playing them in the Champions League final. If it's true that statistically Miller is in that top echelon of his age group across Europe, then teams like that should be interested.
  15. Agree with that. We need the same kind of forward thinking that got us excited when we saw the style Wimmer was looking to develop.
  16. Baraclough wasn't great but he did a lot better than McCall that season. I am a huge fan of McCall and what he achieved with us, but he was also the man who almost got us relegated. (And kudos to him for stepping away when he realised it had stopped working). McCall left us in a precarious state by only managing 3 wins and a total of 10 points the first half of that season. Baraclough got 7 points in his first 3 games and 26 in the second half of the season. As always, though, people often forget about the players and there's no doubt they should also share a huge part of the blame for putting us in that situation.
  17. Champions League shouldn't even be a league. That was another protectonist demand from the wealthy clubs who didn't want the risk of being knocked out in an early round of a proper cup competition. And then they complain about too many games in a season before jetting off to Thailand to play a few more.
  18. "So Cammy. On a scale from one to Marvin Johnson, just how bad was that keeper's mistake?"
  19. And part of our glorious First Division winning team in the 1984/85 season.
  20. Imrie must still be laughing when he sees how much he managed to upset some 'Well fans. Exactly the reaction he was looking for with his antics.
  21. Stenhousemuir is also a plastic pitch one.
  22. Last cup game I went to see at Ochil View ended 0 - 0, but we scored 6 (I think) in the replay at Fir Park.
  23. That sounds like the Marketing department trying to explain the poor design choices! Hopefully not.
  24. There will be lots of managers getting sacked or resigning this time of year, so I wouldn't read anything into any of them. As for Jack Ross, according Wikipedia, he is working as a coach in Newcastle's academy.
