That, plus most teams budget to bring in one or two players in the Jan window.

A great opportunity to trial live video streaming of the game too (for the valued expats)

Getting poked in the eyes with hot needles is better than 12 noon on a Sunday. I'm not an advocate for that either.

Exactly right. If I had to bet, I'd say in the long run it wouldn't make much difference. The people that normally can't make Saturday would be offset by the people that can't make Friday night. I'm all in favour of cutting prices and free tickets though, even if it does screw up the stats.

Standing isn't a crime, but it is against the league rules. So while you can't be arrested for it, it can get the club into trouble with the football authorities. I read the regulations of the English Football Licensing Authority last night (which I believe are similar to ours). They state that if a club doesn't attempt to keep fans from standing, they reserve the right to withdraw their licence.

3pm on a Saturday has the same benefits, which I why I don't really see any advantage to Friday nights.

Good points. I remember saying after the Dunfermline game that his goals were great examples of Centre Forward strikes. The first was was beautifully passed into the corner, and the second was a simple tap-in thanks to being in exactly the right place for the cross.

For the people that prefer Clarkson, Jutkiewicz etc. over Higdon, the career league stats are: Jutkiewicz: 0.22 goals per game Clarskon: 0.21 goals per game Blackman: 0.23 goals per game Higdon: 0.22 goals per game By comparison, Arnott was 0.24 goals per game. All of these pale in comparison to Mr. Tommy Coyne with 0.40 goals per game

Got this off an Aberdeen forum.

Reading some of the Aberdeen forums, they predicted exactly what Broon was going to say in his post-match comments. Needless to say, they weren't too impressed.

It is naive, however, to think that if you knowingly break the rules, you won't be turfed out. Mouthing off at stewards won't get the rule changed.

His name is Joe Wark, He's the King of the West, He plays at Fir Park, And is one of the best, He'll drink all your whisky and Newcastle Brown, The Motherwell Boys are in town Altogether now..... Na na na.......

I think "Other" is the perfect description of Ruby.

This post highlights the pitfalls of reading internet forums on a small screen.

From the odd highlights I have seen on Motherwell TV, Forbes has seems to have been playing well. The 60 yard pass he put in for the goal was a stonker.

He started off as a sweeper, and did a great job in that position as he could really read the game. However, he moved to LB later in his 'Well career (and gained about 2 yards in speed when he did).

Which story? The top 2 stories have about as much verbiage as the pre-TV days. Or are you just on another fishing expedition? And more than 2 lines on the reserve game: I missed the reserves game report on the BBC site. Can you post the link?

Nah, it was just the mindset at the time. You typically had to play in England or for the OF before you were deemed worthy of a cap.

I don't think McLair and McAllister were quite ready for a cap during their time at Fir Park, and there were a number of fans (not me) who'd claim McCulloch shouldn't even have been in our first team, far less the international squad Wullie P and Joe Wark at their peak should have won many more caps, and Keith McRae could have if he hadn't moved south. Lambert and Martin were also definitely worth a shout.

This thread is dying quicker than a guest at a Michael Barrymore pool party.

Joe Wark by a country mile.

I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That post from the MST was good enough for Jehovah'.

He'll be fine. Just needs some tweetment.

Where's Max Clifford when you need him?

Well that was embarrassing.
