Theres definitely some on here who care more about the old firm than their own club , a look at the Sevco thread tells you that. Shall i take a leaf out of your book and start an attention seeking "to the board of MFC if you sign McManus ill return my 'Well Society and season ticket" thread ?

Concentrate on that part of the post while ignorning the rest if you prefer. Fairly obvioous i was demonstrating that you dont need to be a good player to have played at a higher level. If you are so keen on comparisons , what about Zander Diamond who got a contract in England while McManus looks like he cant ? McManus was captain at celtic and not getting a game , he was captain at celtic when they loaned him to Boro. Fair enough , youre entitled to your opinion , his achievements at celtic make him a player in your opinion. From my experience celtic fans say he was a bit of a joke figure , loved for clapping and making "come on" gestures to the crowd and who they were glad to see the back of when he left.

Why turn the question ? Why not answer the question ? I can see the sales pitch for him , Europe and international (Brian Kerr) Boro swallowed it and paid a big price for him. The celtic fans were pleased to see the back of him. Boro are now glad to see the back of him. So is it his form at Bristol that makes him good or are we still swallowing the sales pitch from 2010 - he played for celtic he must be good (despite the celtic fans who watched him very much insisting that he isnt). Hes been in the Championship window for 3 years but is up training at Fir Park loooking for a wage , he mustve made some impression down there I think he is terrible. Thats my opinion , im willing to be swayed , what do you base him being any good on ?

Here he comes , the self appointed father of the board , the thought police. A bell end personified

Out of interest what form are you basing McManus being a good player on ? Celtic , Scotland , 'Boro or Bristol ?

And hopefully a better player than McManus

Yer kidding ? All that "hilarity" for fuck all ?

'Maybe we are just lucky' that Sheffield United next season is a tougher job than he thought it was before he went for the interview.

"Please please please be my cyber friend , let me read your jovial banter and the fine details of what you had for dinner . It makes me feel like im also a superstar SPL footballer" :wank:

This and to some he was a hero for it. Oh OTF , im a much mellower cat these days and wont add to whats already been said Other than ... If youre reading this Jim , dont ever come back , yer fucking shite.

Just like Sevco they are the only full time club in their league , they should have won the league out the park and had they done nothing in the cups I don't think they would have given him it. He was a worthy winner

What's narrow minded about it ?? We went there and got cuffed , Allan Johnston took his side there and won in a quarter final You think that's irrelevant when comparing achievements and deciding who's merited an award over the other ? Why do you think they went for Johnston over McCall then ? Gingerism ?? Oh it would explain the Neil Lennon thing , maybe you are on to something ....

THAT night at Ibrox maybe worked against him

By the way McFadden gets it very easy from the Motherwell support . No matter how well or badly he performs for every Steelboy theres still 10 fanboys queuing to kiss his tail and tell all that will listen that he's still international class

Owned To be fair that 9:51 post by Roly had so much quality i was blinded by it Post of the year Roly

Behave yourself Roly , Higdon better than Coyne ?? Im a huge Higdon fan and shudder to think where we would have been without him this season , certainly not second. Coyne however in over 500 games spanning 20 years had a 1:2 and and a bit games ratio at club level and a 1 :3 and a bit games at International level (first pick striker at the '94 world cup while a Motherwell player) , not bad considering in the 3 or 4 years after he left us he never scored many at all. Coyne was a class above and theres no shame on Higdon for that.

Not really sure why you posted that mate, simple point I'm making is it would be nice to think the club were a little more proactive in extending contracts at the right time or moving players on if they have 6 months/1year left and have no intention of resigning! Appreciate that sometimes keeping players can help us move up the league, but it's frustrating over the last few years to watch good players walk away for nowt, surely we can be sticking players on 1 yr extensions with the understanding that if a club moves in and they fancy it, then we will let them go, bit of protection for both parties and what's better is we won't even need to hypnotize them

What do you propose ? Hypnotising clubs with money to become interested in our players ?

I obviously meant FS+ , the only channel that shows SPL in the USA. It shows every live game we get here from Sky and ESPN and even Alba on occassion this season as you probably know , if not live than later in the week on delay. At the time the St Johnstone game is kicking off at ill be surprised if its not shown live. A sports bar in NY is bound to have it on if he is that bothered he'll find it. PS Its a damn sight less than Sky sports is here to get FS+ on dishondemand over there.

?? It'll be live on Fox Soccer

Is that you Jose ?

When demanding the board hold out for a million lets not forget he came on a free less than a year ago and has struggled to hold down a starting place.

Like when they covered themselves in glory at Ibrox you mean ?

Barry Ferguson to replace Nicky Law ?

Anyone see the season pass ?
