I'd hate to be part of the team talk that went 'Fingers crossed lads, they might have an off day and we won't get humped".

It's a Cup game. Anything better than a loss is acceptable in each and every round.

I agree with that. How about "We need to make them have an off day"? We need to be in about them from kick-off to the final whistle.

However, Motherwell said that they had talked to him. Either way, regardless of the spin put on the story, do you really think a guy like Sutton would have put pen to paper before he listened to what others had to offer? Even footballers are smarter than that.

Slip away how? By not offering to double his salary like Hearts did? If his agent didn't tell him to hold on until all the offers were on the table, then he should be sacked.

Fixed your post

If you knew where I worked you would realise I do have a clue. However, putting your ill informed criticism to one side, the fact that many other clubs already offer a version of such a service proves it is completely feasible (including the managing of the licensing rights). 3 or 4 years ago a company (scottishfootball.co.uk I think it was) offered live SPL games on the internet. That was just one camera coverage and the quality even back then was excellent. Technology has moved on since those days, so there is no reason to think it can't be implemented by the club. That particular company even hired commentators, but to be honest, I don't see any need for that.

Alternatively, don't screen the game live at 2:15pm on a Sunday afternoon.

I'm pretty sure that McCall did mention a few weeks ago that there was budget to buy another player and bring in one or two loans.

No, I was just responding in kind to your comment that we didn't have more than 11 players. We might not have the depth yet, but we have more than 11 players that can do a job.

Las back in. Keep Forbes in. McHugh and Higdon up front. Humph and Murph on the bench as the speed merchants.

Actually, I think I'd prefer jet lagged and knackered first team players than some enthusiastic reserves looking to make a name for themselves. Let's keep it tight for the first hour and then bring on our speed merchants in the last 30 mins to finish them off.

Possibly, although Murph relies more on his speed while Rosco was more of a ball player in my eyes.

I thought for these events, if you are a non-Trust member, they let you pay an 'entrance fee' and that fee covers the cost of joining the Trust too.

I'd also throw Ipswich and maybe even Blackpool into that mix.

A lot of it is down to the character and ambition of the individual (not to mention talent). There are plenty of good players who have warmed the OF benches and various benches down south. McAllister and Lambert are guys who were very successful after moving away from Scotland. Others have not prospered. The same can be said for players moving to the OF. It's very much risk and reward. If you have confidence in your own ability, heading south is a gamble, but the payoff can be huge. Sticking with the OF pretty much guarantees League titles, Cup Finals, an annual Champions League qualifier and a few Europa Cup games. It's a comparatively safe option if you make the first team but you are still only playing for a relatively small fish in an even smaller pond.

Loan signings won't come until around 31st August (when the EPL teams have their squads finalised). I've been reading of a few Championship managers in the same predicament.

The simple solution is to stop reading it. I gave up on The Rancid and its kin many years ago (including the online version) and don't miss it for one second. Haven't missed it for one second.

Just watch the game itself. Undoubtedly a great occasion for the club, but a terrible game of football from a Motherwell perspective. Made Levein's 6-4-0 look like all out attack.

Half time entertainment to me was always the other half-time scores from around the league. A: 1 - 0 B: 0 - 0 C: 2 - 1 etc. and then having to decipher them from the programme.

Paul Mills' last minute goal against Dunfermline at East End Park.

Heart says 1 - 1. Head says 0 - 2.

Are you claiming Humphrey had a good game on Saturday? Because that's what this thread is all about.

Frankly, I don't believe any professional ref 'has it in' for any team. And if, for one second, I decided to believe he did have it in for us, why did he award the free kick we scored from when he could easily have called it as a fair tackle?

Definite? So McCall told you that himself did he? You often confuse your own opinions with fact on here. Why should Forbes be a straight swap for Keith? Are we only allowed to have one style of player in the team? Do you seriously expect us to have clones for every first team player? That's just deluded.
