hopefully we can get a couple of early goals to make their heads go down. I think as long as theplayers are in the right frame of mind ..... they will have to play well to win.........then I think we can get a good victory. If they show up thinking 3 points is a fomality then we are in for a shock! Fortunately I think they have learned from Ross County game and have the right attitude. if we do get in an early lead by a couple of goals we need to not settle for just the win but try to score as many goals as possible. Goal difference could be crucial come the end of the season. A good goal difference is like having an extra point.

I hope the big man gets at least one more hat trick. Both his hat tricks this season against top 6 teams. Not too shabby!

if Higdon does break the record I think someone needs to put some footage together of all his goals............but interspersed with derisory comments from on here. ( the real ones not the piss take ones like Fraz's ) The names of the "authors" could be deleted...............or not !!

That and I wouild love to see Higdon destroy the record for our top goal scorer since the 1930's. So aside from second place aspirations there are several other reasons for the team to get fired up on a game by game basis to get some of those records. I will say that since the Ross County game i think we have been doing a great job of pressing up on the opposition to win the ball back. I hope that continues.

Are they still called reporters because that's not what they do? Nice to see Nicky clear that up although i had already dismissed it as your usual crap newspaper article. Pretty ridiculous some of the things they get away with, putting things out of context, and twisting peoples words. Reporters are right up there beside used car salesmen !!!

This should most likely be our highest goal scoring season in the premier league. Higdon has palyed a big part in getting us there. I think our highest so far has been 55 goals and we are now on 51 with 7 games to go. Combine that with the number of goals we are conceding this year and you're geting your money's worth with respect to goals!!! EDIT: Apologies to the defence! our lowest goals against tally is 44 which was last season. Right now we are on 41 with 7 games left. So hopefully we can have our best defensive season too although I think that will be much harder to achieve. However it does make you wonder that perhaps our defence hasn't quite been as bad they have been made out to be. I think we just got spoiled last year the years prior were 60, 54, 51 and 46

Well since it's a long 2 weeks or so till our next game and because it is internantional break maybe this can give you something to go look up or ponder As a motherwell player who has scored the most goals for Scotland? For any international team? Same questions as above but the player could have scored them before coming here or after leaving fir park.

Interesting set of fixtures the weekend of March 30th/Apr 1st I wouldn't touch these with a barge pole at the bookies! Hibs V Caley County V Killie St J V Dundee Utd edit: In fact I'm not even sure i know who I want to win but I think it's Hibs, Killie and StJ. Although i'd rather not see Killie make it into the top 6. another edit: Make that Hibs, Killie and Dundee utd. TOLD YOU i wasn't sure!

That's the only way for us to qualify. but 2nd and 3rd are guranteed europa cup.

NO! We put him on penalties so we can win the games! who took our last penalty anyway. We've not had many have we?

Celtic clinched the first of their 9 in a row at fir park whenever that was. i was at at the game. The ball bounced in off Bobby lennox's knee in the 91st minute and that was in the day when they supposedly only ever played 90 mins. Huge crowd that day bunch of folks up on the east stand roof.

I recall that it was said Celtic never beat us when we wore the "sash" top Not sure if that is true or not.

Why? I disagree with that statement. if he has decided he is leaving but does not tell us, then he would still be in the same position as you describe above except we would not know. I think he has to be driving the players performance on the field and the board need to be getting the players signed up for next season. I do agree with your last statement though and i think mcCall is an honest proefssional who would still do his best to see us finish second even if he knew he was leaving. Either way it's an unfortunate siuation to be in at this time of the season and I would love to see McCall and the board resolve it soon as possible resulting in him signing for another few years. I have no doubt that he can be a big factor in retaining players for less money than they might get offered elsewhere.

Sod that "go home from work and watch the game on DVR"...................... Executing plan B....................Taking vacation day from work and hangin out with the wee man ( 6 year old grandson ) then me and him will plonk down in front of the telly at 2.45pm here and scream our lungs out as we romp to victory! C'MON THE WELL

Eh? Where did I mention that he leaves before the end of the season? He just makes his mind up now so we can start looking for his replacement if he is going to leave.

one of the worst things for football was AGENTS. I bet McCall would have been signed up ages ago if it wasn't for his agent...........................but still the board should be laying it on the line and saying make your mind up now. it's never good when uncertainty lingers on.

Too early for Moonshine. ( well ok maybe not ) I was referring to the middle of Steelboy's post that I replied to. "league construction - i've made my point on here and to dempster and weir that i'm strongly against zeroing points and splitting after 22 games." He probaly wrote that assuming everyone would be aware that it did not apply to the top part of the split but obviously i was not. But it does raise the question as to why only do it in one of the splits? As I mentioned I think that would be a great idea especially for the top 8 teams. edit: OK I see why they do that split now since they have to even out the teams who have been playing in different divisions.

I guess I should pay more attention to league reconstruction, I totally missed the part about zeroing the points after 22 games. I actually think that is a good thing and may give the other teams a better chance of giving Celtic a run for their money. I believe we would be better able to compete aganst Celtic in a 15 game season ( effictively at that point )

Did we also miss a PK in that game?

Higgy hat trick plus another 2 Then Ill go home form work and watch the game on the DVR. Great start to the weekend!

No way in hell should Doncaster be on $200K per year. The clubs need to sort that one out!

To illustrate the point, I think if they went back and took money off of Celtic and redistributed among places 3 to 12 and left 2nd place alone now everyone ( except maybe Celtic ) would be happy? Right? The goal should be trying to make the other teams get stronger to compete with Celtic. This redistribution has not done that in anyway.

Although first priority is getting top 6 place we must still be aiming for second and that menas trying to get max points form our last 3 games. Utd play aberdeen before the split so that means that is impossible for both to catch us, so thats 4 teams now ruled out. Only 2 to go from utd or Aberdeen, Killie, hibs and S tJ who have to play Dundee utd and Caley Just so many permutations but I think as long as we continue to pick up points the permutations are in our favour.

I think we are due to gubb Hibs! it's about time for Ojaama and Faddy to score and Higdon in there as well.

Yes, apart form the #1 prize money not being touched this change in midstream really bothers me. everyone should know what they are playing for from the start of the season and any chnages should be in place the follwoaing season...............Of course having said that if they all decide that it's ok to change midstream then we are back to why the hell did we agree to this or maybe we still have that question regardless?
