Mad Dog

Just seen the Kerr tackle, the highlights didn't show what happened to McManus first but he went down clutching his face. Any suggestion of retaliation? His body language before and after didn't suggest that he had been going for the ball in my opinion.

I'm delighted to see Kerr being played in his favoured position and finally putting in the kind of performances that we thought he might be capable of. So I hope that O'Brien's arrival doesn't see him benched / shunted out to right mid again. We were all calling for McCall to sign a replacement for Hutchy but maybe he was already here!

No hard feelings at all, best of luck to him today and hope he's on the winning team. Edit: Nope, despite their two senior keepers both being injured, Hollis still can't get a game! Jack Hamilton (presumably the youth keeper??) is starting with Hollis on the bench.

Don't suppose you or your relatives know the Kirklands do you??

My cousin lives in Palmerston North, he's the only 'well fan that I know of down there although there's a whole crowd of them that are originally from Larkhall.

There's a hardback on ebay for £4.92, I'll be keeping an eye out for the paperback though; thanks for the recommendation Andy.

If I remember correctly Mark McGhee was brutal in pre-season, taking the players over to Germany and working them until they puked. We really need a more disciplinarian approach to training.

Cheers mate, will do.

Which websites do fellow overseas 'well fans us for live streams? I'm lost without myp2p.eu and only had bbc live texts for the first leg!!

I've a funny feeling we'll go through on away goals!!

Thanks, mate. With the exception of McHugh this may well be the strongest team available to us this season. Not much difference from last season thankfully but hopefully this season we'll have more competition for starting places and more options from the bench.

If anyone has a spare moment, could someone post the starting lineup for yesterdays match? Cheers.

For the sake of the Scottish co-efficient we should hope the Saints and Sheep win so that means that only two other underdogs would need to upset the odds.

Stephen, came back to us briefly in 2011 and failed to win a new contract.

Totally agree with you, which is why I was surprised when Mr. T. Rialist a.k.a. Craig Reid ended up going last year. Fair enough his situation wasn't straightforward with McManus turning the trip down in favour of a trial with Hibs.

There was the Irish geezer Jones too, but I think that McCall has done very well with his signings so far. Actually, come to think of it, McHugh, Hollis and Cummings were already at the club when McCall arrived.

Seems as if he's our new Freddie Dindeleaux.

Never actually had any Buckfast before, good stuff is it?

Ramsden, Angol and Lawson could fill those positions but will they be good enough and will they last the whole season? If we have enough of the budget left for one more player I think that a speedy winger would be what we really need.

I think we already have enough options at right back.

Any chance we could punt McHugh and Cummins (maybe even Gunnar too??) on season-long loans and use their wages elsewhere?

Born in Bellshill but played for Coatbridge amateurs before signing for Livvy.

What!! No Aberdeen players in there?? It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Permission denied....

The M.F.C ebay thing seemed to raise decent amount of money too, not just for the fans game but also all of the signed kit. I'm sure there must be a stack of match-worn Faddy kit that could be auctioned off. Hutchy is a bit of a cult hero and if he leaves his kit will surely fetch decent sums of money. They could run a goal of the season competition and auction off the boot that scored it (fancy presentation box, signed photo of the goal being scored, etc....). I know we're talking hundreds of pounds rather than thousands but it all counts and it give fans their mementos too. Just wondering if that was one of Leanne's projects, hence a possible reason for the lack of recent activity....
