If we do sell them for derisory amounts, it would be down to Motherwell and not Scottish football. Hearts, Hibs and Dundee Utd manage to hold out for value. The story on the official does come as somewhat desperate. If the figures are true, neither bid really merits a mention.

Yip. Wonder how much we will hold out for.

Missing both games due to holiday, pretty gutted. Think we should see around 9000 again. Guess there is no chance of UK TV coverage with Hearts Liverpool taking centre stage?

I quite enjoyed today despite it not being the best football on show. St Johnstone could have been out of sight after going 1-0 up but we somehow dug in deep while running on empty and got an unlikely but well worked goal. For me, we don't need a striker. What we do need is a Jennings replacement. Law is doing an incredible shift in midfield but his link-up play and creativity is required further up the pitch to bring the best out of our front men.

Hutch by a distance, he's ready to play at a much higher level. Him and Law are carrying us to an extent.

I'd go with that too but I was under the impression that Carswell has fell out the picture a wee bit? Anyway, Ramsden will be a McCall regular while fit.

One positive step was yesterday's announcement that the under 20s will be playing at FP this season, predominately on a Tuesday evening. Interesting to see who will be recruited as coach in the coming weeks. It's imperative that we have a productive youth setup in place of we are going to run with the well society model.

Think Green pulled the plug.

Yes. Like the look of this boy.

Left winger, played against us in Scottish cup when we won 4-0.

Craig Forsyth ex Dundee, now Watford, has been linked with a loan move to a host of SPL clubs. McCall was interested in him last summer.

The art of raising our game against superior opposition seems to have been lost at Motherwell in recent years. We are incredibly consistent at playing well against teams of a similar level which is great but when it comes to playing Celtic, Rangers or a half decent Eiropean team, we seem almost content to get in and out the stadium with a respectable defeat. Yes we were playing a Champions League qualifier which we could never have imagined but having got there, I don't think we came close to throwing absolutely everything at it over the course of two legs. To get some perspective, it will be interesting to see how Dundee Utd perform in Moscow. On the bright side we appear to have unearthed another centre half with a bit of potential.

Omar fucking Daley playing Champions League. We're having a laugh.

The chat about the heat has pretty much ended any sense of optimism I had last week. I naively thought it might cool down in the evening. McCalls comment suggest Daley will start. I'd be going with Hetherington or Carswell as an extra man in midfield and asking Murphy and Ojamaa to support from wide.

Celtic Dundee Utd off this weekend.

Certainly seems that way from the outside.

I think we are more likely to get cuffed by St Johnstone after doing the business in Athens.

Nae investigation into that diving bastard Sissoko then? Could do with Jennings back just to go through him.

Reid and McStay both come across as being thick as mince while it's definitely not a job for Jenks. Surely better candidates out there.

Sell out crowd?

Wembley 99 is a fine shout.

Expect Ross County to be much better than they look on paper.

I seen an advert in the Wishaw Press with a target of 5000. I just had a glance at it but I think it indicated that we were currently at 3500ish and last years total was around 4000. I guess these numbers include the free kid season tickets, many of which don't get used...

They lost 4-3 at home to Odense. It's a long shot but I still think there is a glimmer of hope if the players approach the game with genuine belief. If Panathanikos think the game is already sewn up, we are more than capable of giving them a fright.
