Never gonna happen the same year Scotland win the World Cup!

Gone. But never forgotten. Forever 10.

You mean like Louis Moult?

Thank you. I didnt know that it was general practice to pay a contract in full if another club wants to sign your player. It would seem common sense that if you choose to leave to go to another job then you have broken your contract. Not the selling club. Although I guess Watt could say he hasnt chosen to leave, he is happy to stay to the end of the season and it is the club that is forcing the move now becuase of fan reaction, not him. I look forward to seeing how ruthless GA can be.

Clearly an insight I dont have, and still dont really understand. You could help me out?

Why do you never answer a question? If you have an insight others dont, you could answer it and make us all better informed.....

Why would we need to pay up his contract in full if he is transferred and he is the one that wants to move? Surely moving to his new club on double the salary with whatever signing on fee they have promised him is reward enough? If we were punting him and he was losing out financially, then I would agree we would be legally bound to honour his contract, but thats not the situation here surely?

Well first of all dont kiss the badge and indicate your going nowhere in front of the East stand if youve signed a pre contract. Secondly, if you are moving on try and make it to a bigger club in another league. Thirdly, if you cant manage 1 and 2, try and make sure you, your agent or the club you are going to dont leak it to the newspapers.

Its a real shame it has come to this, but I expect he has played his last game for the club. There are ways to manage your departure without pissing off the fans and this isnt it. It would be nice to keep a fully focused Tony Watt to the end of the season, but the reaction form the 500 fans there yesterday will only be multiplied 10 fold when the fans are back in. The club cant afford to let that unrest poison our season. Get what we can from United in January and move on. Looking on the bright side. At least it wasnt Dundee!

Very disappointed if this is true. No issues with a player leaving to better themselves and earn more money, especially one who has done so well for us. But to a league rival, for not that much more money? It makes the badge kissing and goal celebrations look totally ridiculous and doesnt paint Tony in a very good light. Probably best if he moves on immediately. I dont think the reaction from the East Stand will be very positive. He is lucky there will only be 500 fans there tomorrow. Of course, if this is all shite, he could easily come out before the game and say so.......

I hope Tony Watt scores 30 goals this season, helps us to the Scottish Cup forces his way into the Scotland squad and has his pick of Championship clubs queing up to throw money at him on a 4 year deal where he can take the league by storm and get promoted to the Premier League. Unfortunately his team will likely be relegated straight back down again and he can finish his contract and pop back up the road to us aged 33 where he will be warmly welcomed and finish his career with his granda's team. More chance of that than him signing for Dundee!

Whatever happened to those Covid passports we were all so keen on?

Absolute clickbait. Why would Watt join a team that could get relegated. They might be able to offer him a little more, but its not going to be significant enough to make him jump ship. If there are already offers from England then thats where he will be headed as only Rangers and Celtic can compete with the money down there.

Stay, enjoy a cup run, bag a winners medal and go with everyones best wishes in the summer.......

Id be delighted to be free of relegation by the New Year and I suspect the board would too! Would allow for some very early planning for next season! Think this will be a tough game. Be interesting to see who is available and what the team selection will be. Be good if Slattery was fit and available, although I'd like to see Cornelius keep his place as well, which would mean Donnelly dropping out. Could be some selection dilemmas for GA now as players come back to fitness as those who have come in havent done a lot wrong. Im going 2- 0 Motherwell.

Cornelius had a decent game. Put in a lot of work and took his goal well, but struggled to get on the ball as the game largely bypassed our midfield. KVV took his goal well but much like Woolery, his decision making in the final 3rd cost us a couple more goals. Our best players over the 90 mins were Sol and Bevis. Neither put a fut wrong all game and both made important challenges. I just thought Bevis showed a little bit more quality on the ball today so he edges it for me.

Pretty scrappy game with very little football played by us in the middle third again. However, a great 3 points, and you cant fault our work rate, solidity at the back and our front 3 always look like they have goals in them. Cant be too harsh about the midfield with Donnelly getting his first start for such a long time and Cornelius still being a rookie. Goss is however, turning into quite an important player for us. St Johnstone look like a team desperate for the transfer window. They need to do some decent business if they are to get out of their current predicament. Ironically they played some decent stuff in the middle third but were pretty toothless up front and couldnt deal with our front 3. Same again next week will do fine.

Already has cult status, but if he is here any length of time, he has club legend written all over him!

It was a really stupid yellow card. If he just stands in front of Hart to slow the ball down, nothing happens. He maybe gets the waggy finger. The minute he kicks the ball away its a certain yellow. The fact he got a kick on the shin for his troubles only compounded it.

It would be nice to have some defenders back. However, given we stood up to Celtic with a depleted squad, you would hope we could cope with St Johnstone at home. Not that it always works that way. Hoping the new change of tactics / philosophy continues. If it does we should cause them problems with our front 3.

I dont see him moving in January, as I dont think he will have given up on the Scotland Squad, which would again raise his earning potential and maybe earn him a better move. I think he is likely to sit tight and see what the summer brings.

I thought Goss, Watt and Slattery all had pretty good first halves, but MOTM has to be Bevis again. Led a makeshift defence very well.

If there is a good way to lose a game thats about as close as it gets. Plenty of endeavour, good shape and discipline, defended well in the circumstances and created a good few chances, albeit mostly in the first half. Disappointing we couldnt take one of those and the manner in which we lost the goal was frustrating. We should have been more alert to what they were doing. All that said, we maintain our league position, morale will remain high and if we go into the next 4 games with the same belief and attitude we should be picking up a fair few more points.

Good to hear! Love the wee mans attitude!

Not expecting anything from this one. But its a free hit. Our recent playing style should suit the fixture and the opposition. Hopefully our injuries are not as bad as forecast and a couple of our centre halves make the starting 11. Fingers crossed we can cut out any stupid mistakes and maybe sneak a goal to sew doubt in the minds of the opposition.
