Well-Made

At least Chick has had the decency to admit we should have won this.

I would say that Skippy Sunday runs the Semi Final one close. Would've loved to have been at Hampden in '91 though.

Is it the one I took from the stand you are looking for? (It was posted up here when I got back from the game) If it is I'll take a dig about and find it for you.

If you believe the Sun today Dundee Utd and ourselves are chasing 22 year old Port Vale keeper Joe Anyon. He's available on a bosman at the end of the season. With Michael Fraser already signed up for the end of the season does this mean that Buzz has told the management he's off? there are 2 other possibilities of course, firstly it's the Sun, secondly maybe to get Buzz to extend with the deal on the table.

Found this on the Sun website Somebody got their wires crossed somewhere? Thought his wife\girlfriend was at uni.

Except it's forecasted for colder weather from the weekend.

Glad that we've got a decent fee for him considering how long he has left on his contract. Would've been happy for him to stay obviously but Cardiff is a better move than Nottingham Forest or Hearts for that matter. Good Luck to him if he is away and a huge thanks for the goals.

I think this thread has run it's course and I will close it. DosserJoe has supplied the answers to the points raised. If someone from the Trust can PM Scooby re: the scanner please that'd be appreciated. The Trust do fight a losing battle in whatever they do won't be accepted by all sides but they do the best they can with the limited resources and time they have.

Why pay for him when he says he's out of contract at the end of the season in the Sun story?

Now we are 26 votes ahead

There is one way to look at Matt. it'll give you another book. From Fir Park to the "Craig"

From the Sunday Mail

being discussed in the January transfer window thread. Will close this one just now. Boab is also mnetioned in that thread.

As well as saying he's English blah blah the Express all carries on with him saying that he isn't closing the door on staying with us either. May just be talk but it might give us a glimmer of hope especially if we get a Euro slot.

Would just like to say Ooohhhh Yessssss, Ohhh F'n Yessss!!!!!! Good result the night and the defence were pretty solid tonight. We keep defending like that we'll be pushing for 4th if not 3rd place.

I'd hate to think what state the chips would be in by now. IF Ports is daft enough to sign for that lot then hell mend him!! I mean it's not as if he's coming from a different country where Hearts don't make the papers. Their problems are fairly well documented in Scotland and he only has himself to blame if they didn't pay his wages. Like everyone else I expect Ports to head South either this month or at the end of the season.

The thing is the club was told that St Mirren would look at getting another 500 tickets for us and that was the last communication they had. Do you then expect the Club to announce that St Mirren would look at getting extra tickets for sale on the day then 6 hours before the game they have to announce that St Mirren haven't been able to get them? When tickets are being supplied by another club the best thing the club can do is wait until they have confirmation. There's already been a post before 'Flow confirmed the tickets about someone leaing Aberdeen on the off chance he MIGHT get a ticket. In this instance he is aware that he might not get a ticket but what if he had left Aberdeen thinking he was garaunteed one? The Club did it right this time, there was no confusion as the Club did let it be known earlier in the week how many tickets they had left from their initial allotment. They also let it be known that IF there was any left they would be on sale on the day. As 'Flow said they had 10 left at one point so there'd have been no sale on the day. If anything it's good on the club for being able to get another 500 tickets. If we sell these out then there'll be 1500 Motherwell fans at the game which is a helluva lot more than we normally take.

Sorry Dave, Forgot to add where it came from. Sorted it now.

From the Herald So how many of you thought he was touting himself again?

I tell you what I am majorly disappointed that we've let Neilsen go back to Blackburn and we haven't got in another backup keeper yet or more players. C'Mon McGhee the transfer window has been open for a few hours now for f'sake. Too busy celebrating Xmas and the New Year and taking your eye of the ball have you? Thought i'd say it before someone else came out with it.

Happy New Year when it comes to one and all wherever you are.

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee has been in touch with his former Aberdeen team-mate Alex McLeish, the Birmingham City manager, for permission to take goalkeeper Artur Krysiak on loan. Ironically, the 19-year-old Pole made his senior debut against Motherwell while on loan to Gretna last season, one of four first-team appearances he made for the doomed Borderers. McGhee has moved swiftly to provide competition for first-choice Graeme Smith after Faroese goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen returned to Blackburn Rovers at the end of his loan period following Saturday's win over Inverness. Krysiak has also played for York City in the Blue Square Premier League and Swansea in the Championship in loan spells during this campaign.

Looks like this game will be a formality for the 'Well now. McPherson has just won the Manager of the Month award
