Probably because it's about 40 degrees there. Well played ref.

Fuck me! A 102 year deal. They've definitely done us over there. Death to Sky and ESPN!!!

Yeah , that's what I thought. One of the International teams were complaining last year because the Scotland Under 21's got delayed heading over for a game and missed the 23 hour deadline. They wanted the game replayed as Scotland still beat them. I think it might even have been the Albanian under 21's they were playing. I'd be surprised ifwe haven't arranged to be there at some point tonight or early tomorrow.

I know that's not really the point of your post, but was I reckon Porter's hat-trick against ICT in December was 3 headers.

The only real stand-out candidates I can think of are Crags, Lasley or Hammell. After that it's all down to the young guys, unless Gannon goes for another Quinn type appointment to try and give a boost to one of the younger guys like Reynolds. Perhaps he also thinks giving it to Sutton or Jennings might work, but with Jennings just in the door I'd be surprised to see that happen.

I'm told that Jack Daniels had a sign up last night saying that they would be showing the game.

It's been reported in a few rags today that Hughes has knocked back a £7,000 a week deal from Norwich. According to his agent a few Championship teams are set to make him an offer.

I was on the pitch today. It looked amazing. It realy was lookin so much better than it has looked in years, probably. All the hard work looks like it'll be paying off. The groundsmen weren't happy though as a fox had been running about digging holes in the pitch. They had a mallet waiting for it in the home dug-out incase they managed to get a hold of it. Well done guys.

I went down today for a look at the top when I went to get my season ticket. It was the first time I'd seen it properly and I was hugely disappointed. Was looking forward to seeing it for the first time as I love the design of it and ws impressed with the whole Canterbury deal and the launch campaign. Like many have pointed out it looks like a fake because every detail is printed on the top and he quality of the material looks awful. Really feels like Canterbury aren't that bothered about us and left us as an afterthought. I hope they are as keen on checking this site as they were when the mock-ups were posted, because you have really destroyed what would have been a cracking top and made it look cheap. I'll be keeping my £40. Your tap's shite.

Everyonelse's tickets is also for Thursday.

Good luck Jim. Heard nothing but good stuuf about him. Could be exciting times ahead. Loved the story in the paper the other day that he refused to do an interview with Sky after winning the play-off final because his Sky+ box had been broken for 9 months and they wouldn't fix it.

Looks like I'll need to give it a miss after initially deciding I was going. Just not got the money, might not even make it to Airdrie on Thursday. Bad times.

Gutted he's gone. Could never imagine him wearing another club's strip. Hopefully we'll get to have him back one day along with Faddy. Getting those two back into a front line along with Porter would be very interesting. All the best Clarky, hope it works out for you.

According to SSN we are hoping to have everything confimed and announced tomorrow.

That still doen't mean there are no good players in the league. Ports came from playing in League One.

Fifa cover the travel costs, so we only really need the gate money to cover hiring the Shyberry or whatever it's called nowadays.

???

He's obviously known for a loooooong time he was leaving, if he helped design that.

I believe his exact words were "That bitch-ass motherfucker. He can shove it up his arse. I ought to pop a cap in his ass."

Calderwood's stance and comments after Phil O'Donnell's death means that he will never be welcome near Motherwell. If he is ever near the place as opposing manager, or whatever, he should be prepared to be lynched. He'll be lucky to get off the M74 before he's run off the road and given his battering. Total c**t.

I think his agent, one Mr Boon, had it sent in.

According to Real Radio Ivan Golac has submitted an application.

I had wondered about that myself. I would imagine that McGhee's profile being raised so quickly with his succes here and being heavily linked with the Scotland job after 6 months has played a part. I would have thought that that could have helped out the other SPL clubs too. Perhaps our links to the likes to McFadden, McCormack, McDonald and possibly even Davies or McLeish have helped build or profile a little more than we would have thought.

Boyle or the new manager?
