The only people who acted surprised were a few folk on here. As for being mistreated, we stood by this fellow a couple times when he was injured.

How is he antagonising them? By making them actually work for their places? Like someone said earlier, this reflects more on those player's attitudes than on Gannon. They aren't being noised up just for the sake of it, I am sure.

1000 is pretty healthy. I hope they enjoy their time.

How many are travelling from Romania to Scotland for the game?

Gannon = bad cop Ward = good cop That must leave Boyle as Huggy Bear

Exactly. Maybe certain folks need to grow a set?

I'd say, what about a right back?

Are the trialists still with us or have they been told to go?

Based in Stockport? Funny...

Aye, he's figuring out the transfer stuff AND figuring out how to beat Steaua 4-0 Desperate for some news myself too, right enough.

This is a belter of a thread.

Instead, we had Ernie Walker's vaunted Think Tank which achieved....erm...uhm.... It's just no' fair!

He's also played almost every game since first coming in to the team and maybe is suffering a bit in the same way Clarkson did in his first few seasons - maybe hit that wall that so many youngsters struggle with for a while. It's tough these days to nurture youngsters in the way we used to - give them a taster, rest them for a few weeks, give them another taste etc. Youngsters these days are kinda flung i there and are being left to sink or swim without their rough edges being polished smooth first. Used to be a youngster was a guy like Dolan who was on the fringes for a while until his early twenties and then makiing the breakthrough. Nowadays we just seem to chuck teenagers in there and expect them to perform at the level of experienced lads - something to bear in mind re Slane and Forbes.

Cheers Dave.

Mine's fine

Yep, and I think we have the right gaffer to make sure that lessons ARE learned. Really, that's the way we have to approach the home leg now - as a learning experience. We aren't gonna progress further so let's get focused on the boys gelling and being aware of their on-the-field responsibilities.

Wouldn't be difficult - this is only what? Game 3 or 4 for him?

Absolute bolt from the blue to log on and see this news first thing this morning. RIP wee Mowgli and thanks for everything you did for our club both as a player and afterwards.

Not sure Gannon's signing policy is all it's cracked up to be. Or is the one on the left the rumoured twin strikers up front?

I believe that is against UEFA regulations....

+1. Can't disagree with that!

There's certainly a buzz about the place.

A FIRST-HALF hat-trick too! rare.

Here's hoping refs give him more protection than they gave faddy - they let guys kcik him black and blue then when Faddy would moan about it he'd get a yellow. I expect Jim Gannon will be quick to let refs know though...

Motherwell captain Jim Gannon??!?!? Nice work Beeb.....as usual.
