Faddy shone in what was a fairly average (to be generous) 'Well team. Rossco shone in one of the best squads we have had in recent memory. Probably in the minority, but even if both were fully fit, I'd be taking McCormack.

This, plus Porter.

On a Motherwell forum? Yir mad, I tell ye. Quite mad.

I don't recall a single post where you discussed their strengths.

Prepare to be disappointed...

That, as for Higdon, you have a pathological dislike of Forbes and nothing he does will change your mind.

Slow, however, is not the same as unfit. There are plenty of decent players that aren't speedy. Chris Porter is one that springs to mind right off the bat.

That's John "The Rile" Reilly and John "The Cat" Gardiner mentioned on here in recent posts. I think I need to go and lie down now.

Well, if you want to play devil's advocate, are we saying the moaners are negatively affecting the players? If the choice is better entertainment with a more enthusiastic crowd versus less entertainment surrounded by clueless abuse, then I'm firmly in the better entertainment camp.

Why is it an either/or? Life's never that simple. How about they turn up and show a wee bit more positive support? No need to be happy clappy.

Doesn't matter. What we are talking about are the fans that turn up every week and continually yell pointless, uniformed, negative comments.

Will you accept a reality cheque?

Some managers haven't noticed Hateley can't play in midfield. They all have their own ideas about how they want to play the game.

Every time I have erased that clown from memory, someone just has to go an mention his name.

Alarm bells will ring for some fans if we win the league but get knocked out before we reach the group stages of the Champions League. If any fan thought we would stroll our way to 3rd in the league then this is either their first season following the club or they have lost their grip on reality. Every team in the league goes through spells of good and bad form and good and bad luck. What separates about 6 or 7 clubs in the SPL is how they capitalise on the good form and how they minimize the impact of the poor form. Right now, we are in a bit of a trough, but it's hardly time to panic. It's time to roll up the sleeves, dig in and grind out a couple of ugly wins. Some of that will be down to the manager and some of it will be down to the players themselves. Our aim every season should be to look for a top 6 finish, and only after we achieve that should we worry about 3rd/4th/5th. Unfortunately, the other teams pay their players too, and they also want to finish in the top 6 - so those sneaky buggers try and win every game, even when it's us they are playing. The last thing we need to be doing is changing managers at this stage of the season. McCall hasn't had the chance to work through a complete league campaign yet. We're not going to be relegated, and have time to regain some form. So let's see how the rest of the season pans out. For us auld yins, any season we aren't battling the drop is already a success. Of course there are things we'd like to see changed, but messing around with a winning formula when we were 3rd is not the time to do it. Now we do need to make a few changes, they won't all work, and even if they do work, they won't necessarily work the first time we try them. A couple of home wins, and we'll start seeing posts on here again asking when the Europa Cup qualifying rounds start (which will be just as premature).

No. That's due to formation and tactics.

After a few suggestions from myself and others on here, the official site does now have the MFC TV link in a prominent position on the home page.

Imagine the Radio Scotland commentary and how bad that is. Now imagine the opposite of that. That's what it sounds like

Blind squirrels. Nuts. etc.

My only prediction is that ICT will end the game with 10-men and Big Tel will be ragin'.

I didn't realise the pre-season Lanarkshire Cup friendlies had started up again. Good news that he is on the mend.

He was excellent because he had Jeffers making tons of space for him. If he was in our current team, 4-5-1 and 30 yards from the midfielders, I doubt he would have scored the 9 that Higdon has.

I was on holiday when we played Morton on that Cup run. So I didn't have to endure all the stress of that particular tie - just picked up the paper next morning and read we had made it through.

Can you not just be happy that your team scored 4 goals at the weekend and made it to the next round? (Although I heard Arbroath put up a decent showing).
