I thought it was a straight red for that.

Didn't see much of the game, but we looked like a team that hadn't kicked a ball in earnest for a few weeks. Definitely lacked match fitness.

Is there a game on tonight? Won't be going. 1 - 1.

I wouldn't be unhappy with Calderwood, although I have some concern in him sticking around. It wasn't that long ago he said he was bored with managing in the SPL and needed a new challenge. He did a good job at Aberdeen, establishing them as a top 6 team and getting to the Group stages of the UEFA Cup. Thanks to that record he is also responsible for maintaining their delusions of adequacy, but I can forgive him for that.

Barcelona is also carrying a 430 million Euros debt. No wonder they can buy success. Give me JB's prudence any day of the week

That's a bit optimistic. My guess is he'll be back in the pension line at the Post Office by the end of next year.

The NFL also allows all their games to be shown on network (i.e. free) television. However, it costs the networks billions of dollars for the privilege ($20.4 billion to be precise). I can't see the Beeb or ITV forking out an equivalent.

We know what he said on Tuesday as it was it was broadcast in an interview on the Beeb. His quotes are also well documented about Motherwell being is last job in football (although that may still be the case ), and how he was here for 18 months etc. I'm with you, though. I really don't care. Let the board take care of any legalities they think necessary and let the fans focus on the team's performances.

I agree about not caring what he says any more. However, I don't think anyone is saying he shouldn't have taken a 'better' job. Only that he didn't need to consistently lie to the fans and, it appears, the board, until the last second.

Especially, Kerr

Probably not, but if it is going to work anywhere in the SPL it will be at a club like ours, built around youngsters. Gannon seemed to bring a similar philosophy but, if the stories are true, lacked the people skills. If Collins has those too he might just do a job.

It's just a perception. Almost every team outside the OF feels that way, but like most fans, we tend to forget all the teams we have beaten who are also on a bad run.

The ads are targeted and based on your browsing history. Looks like you have been spending a lot of time on one of the Celtic forums.

Excellent. Who said Tam was a talentless hack? (Stuart Cosgrove, not me, btw)

Exactly. If he had just come out and said something along the lines of how Motherwell had rekindled his appetite for the game, how grateful he was for that, and an opportunity has come up that he never envisioned that he'd like to take a shot at before he retires etc. he would have been golden. A number of fans, including myself, aren't too disappointed to see him go. Just annoyed at the way he dealt with it. A bit like the difference between the Faddy and Pearo exits.

Did the original Hammerfist account get shut down, or did the wee boy just get tired of trolling?

I liked Magilton as a player, but he was pretty average manager in his stint at Portman Road. Of course, h'e could have been suffering from 'first job after retiring as a player' syndrome.

But you just know we will lose. And not just that - play them off the park, and still lose. And then Broon will tell the press what a good effort we put in.

They are in love with the long-ball game.

If I had just been accused of illegal tapping I don't think I'd be open to doing the accuser any favours.

Nicely worded statement from the club. Let the hunt begin.

The only thing that disappointed me about Brown was that he came back for the new season. I never saw him as anything more than a short term solution and was surprised we didn't bring in a new face over the summer. Hopefully we can bring in someone for the next 3 or 4 years to add a bit of long term planning to the mix. Onwards and upwards.

Didn't he say in his Beeb interview he "indicated" he was staying. I thought that was a strange choice of words at the time.

Butcher was the right man at the right time. That time has passed.

+1. I think he'd be a perfect fit for our team.
