Doesn't matter. 130,000 people in the city means less than 5% of them need to turn up to get a 6,000 crowd. We need about 20% of the population of Motherwell to turn out to get 6,000. Anyway, pointless argument for this thread. Should have been 4 there!

That should wrap up the 3 points.

If you base it on population, there should more people at the Dundee match every week (even if the city is split 50/50 with Utd.)

Proxies let you pretend that you are accessing the BBC website from the UK. It doesn't always work, but the way the BBC have set their live broadcasts up this season increases the chances of success. Working a charm today.

It's here, but UK only. Time to brush up on your knowledge of proxies!

You mean it wouldnae be fair if opposition fans started their own songs about it?

From his interview, it didn't' sound like he was breaking his neck. His concern seemed to make sure he brings in the right players before the window closes rather than worrying about signings before the Killie game.

Don't forget the origami unicorn.

On a positive note, JG did say in his interview that if his target at right back fell through, he had a couple of back-up targets. So hopefully we'll see some progress there next week too.

He does say it will be great to play for Motherwell against Rangers, but apart from that it's just stuff about how his dad used to take him to Ibrox when he was a player there.

They're Rangers fans then.

Square bar at that. A proper round one and it might have gone in.

Walker, I think. Don't remember how late the equaliser was in the Skol Cup semi against Shellic in '86, but it generated some excitement too. Until the penalty shoot-out.

Aye, he stopped playing in the SPL and managed 1 goal out of 25 games in the Championship. If you can't score in that league (where the eventual winners condeded 52 goals last season), there is something seriously wrong. Just ask Rosco.

On the Beeb interview, JG said the discsussions were 'protracted" and the deal might not be done in time for the weekend.

I liked Stokes when he was at Falkirk, but the guy has only scored 4 goals in 2 years since then. Something obviously didn't work out for the guy.

I think that's the key. In an early JG interview he said he wanted to sign 4 or 5 players on permanent deals and 2 or 3 on loan. The idea being that he needed to put together a team for the short term and give himself a chance to evaluate what is available to him for the long term. He might even manage to do another Ruddy with an option to buy.

To steal a comment about Charlie Cooke, "When Bobby Russell sold you a dummy, you had to pay to get back in".

Woods is nowhere near our worst keeper.

Plenty of skill involved - just different ones required. The balls weighed a ton (even more when they got wet), if the laces hit you in the eye you could be blinded and the boots were more suited to working down the pit.

They could write them, but they would be immediately rejected by the editor due to poor grammar, spelling or basic comprehension of the English language. And yes, I know there will be a couple of errors in this post

I don't care what the age is. I care how they approach the game. I like to see passing and movement. Lumping long balls and hardworking headless chickens are not for me.

And it's that attitude that has kept Scottish teams uncompetitive in Europe and at international level in recent times. Once you step up to a decent level, basic technique wins out over grinding most of the time. Give me JG's team over Malpas' team any day of the week.

Or maybe he genuinely thought that the youngsters weren't good enough to play in the first team. Remember, Gannon has a system that is based around the abilities of the players he has. McGhee had different options and a different system. If Clarkson, Porter, Quinn, McLean, McCormack, Klimpl etc. were available to Gannon, there might be one or two youngsters not getting their chance yet either.
