Away to Celtic. Only certainty is that we get the bloody Old Firm back to back.

I'm extremely doubtful. Just some murmurs. (Pick up on the REM link if you feel witty musical enough.) The horrors of Strongbow featuring there.

Heard a (very dubious) link with us and Leigh Griffiths on loan tonight.

I would, but we wont get him

As a Liverpool fan, I have no issues singing some songs to the good lord, but not at Fir Park.

I've had a few cracking folk sitting around me the last few years. In fact, the majority bitch and whinge, along with the rest of us, but never abuse our team more than the opposition or the officials, and even then, only due to some form of idiocy. This pair only interrupt the golf chat to rip apart a Motherwell player. Even more annoyingly, the two favourite hobbies are latching onto a young player and castigating him throughout, and booing us off the park (a pet hate). They actually sound like Old Firm fans, wherein one slightly dodgy touch means that they will never be good enough etc. There's only so many times I can hear our entire team being shouted and sworn at, when we're in the lead!

That's a fucking cracker if true.

I like Leanne Dempster. A lot more transparency has occurred since her arrival. Definitely worried about this Community Ownership though. I'm as fervent a Motherwell fan as you'll find, but, being a student, finding the money for the season ticket is hard enough, so the £300 is out the window. Same with my dad, but for different reasons. Do we have enough fans, with enough money for this to be feasible in the short, or indeed long term?

There are people in the East Stand by me who used to totally disregard the game in favour of discussing one thing. How inconceivably shite Motherwell are. Every single player, front to back, the backroom staff, the tea lady, the grass, the stands and so on. And then they'd scream abuse at every missed pass or any other minor poor touch. They were even screeching and bitching at the two nil Celtic game. I eventually snapped and went ballistic.

Continuing the what ifs - Phil Thomson not managing to persuade Liverpool to sign Prick Ronaldo.

That... is a baffing volume of well known Liverpool players.

Agreed again. Hence my previous sarcasm

I love our new "harass folk" signing method.

And Hutchison is younger again.

Not up to League 1 standard, ma baws.

It's vaguely amusing to read that forum and think... "Damn... I think that exact thing every time Hearts/Hibs/Abe*spits*rdeen nick a player off us"

Holy fuck.

This. Exactly this. And it's either a confidence thing, a laziness thing, or the boy just hasn't got the whole package.

I don't see Forbes as an answer for the first team. For all Hughes has been posted missing for periods, Ross Forbes has been missing for the best part of two years (excepting the Celtic game). I genuinely think he hit a tiny purple patch, and that he lacks the quality, and far more importantly, any form of wok ethic befitting a team challenging for top six.

Hughes would be a superb re-signing. Should suit him down to the ground in terms of play as well, being as he wouldn't have to do any form of defending, with Lasley and Jennings behind him. Normally, I would say that he can be a luxury, but with their industry, I feel we can afford the slight luxury in front of them. Someone suggested Forbes. He would do as a back-up for Hughes, but serves the same purpose, with less current ability, in that the passing is all well and good, the running, and (lack of) tackling, much less so.

And a Scotland squad.

Is that just to make him Fleetwood MacDonald?

Possibly the best long term signing Motherwell have made in the last ten years.

1) If Burnley are wanting Forbes, does that mean we get shot of him, and they pay us...? 2) I'm a big bit dubious on letting Murphy and McHugh be our regular front line. I know McHugh needs his chance, but he's not even been third choice yet.
