  1. The first time I can recall not hanging back for the 'lap of honour'. Poor performance on the park overshadowed by a display of utter disrespect to the fans.
  2. Lineup reinforces why a left back should be one of our priorities this summer. Hopefully get a decent open game today.
  3. Affordability isn't an issue for me but value is. In 3 or so seasons, I've went from £300 in Cooper to £345 minus a cup game. So a 20% rise isn't decent value in most environments. Particularly when the initial rise was down to the absence of Rangers, which is in conflict with the reasoning for this seasons' rise. Looking at the bigger picture, more has to be done to attract more fans into the stands. Despite getting told that ST sales are up each year, our core support looks to have fallen. Not ideal in an era of fan ownership where monthly contributions from the support is integral to our sustainability.
  4. I've kept an eye on Dixon this season as I've been banging on about needing a new fullback for some time. As others have said though, his level has fallen dramatically since his Scotland cameo. Not sure what has happened there.
  5. The fact we don't have an able replacement for Hammell is hopefully a prod towards our transfer dealings in the summer. Chalmers is woeful and the u20s have been playing without a natural left back for a long time. Fairly confident Campbell will be above Leitch in the pecking order if we opt not to play Gomis. Think we'll lose this actually. St Johnstone are rotten but seem to have the bit between their teeth.
  6. £150k transfer fee down the drain. Talented boy by all accounts but there is chat that he's as big a rocket as Gavin Gunning.
  7. Can't grumble too much at a top 6 pumping. Very surprised Laing started though given McGhee's comments. Hopefully we regroup and sign off in style at Fit Park next week. Maybe Campbell will get a start with Lasley suspended.
  8. A few seasons ago we were asked to pay more to help ease the loss of Rangers. Now we are asked to pay more for the privilege of watching them. I don't quite understand that. There would have been plenty of discussion around the pricing structure but I think the club have arrived at a poor decision. At a time when the club are on the brink of fan ownership and the WS are appealing to squeeze more money out the core support, a freeze to ST prices would have been a welcome decision. If I let my head rule my heart, I'll not be getting a ST as it no longer represents value and is solely a badge of loyalty.
  9. I don't like this categorising of games. I assume we are talking Rangers, a game that some fans will stay away from. If you make 15 games a ST is becoming less justifiable, particularly if the flexi ticket becomes an option.
  10. I was actually amazed by how relatively strong Campbell looked. He's come on a fair bit since I last seen him and closer to the first team than I thought.
  11. If McGhee thinks he's good enough then yes of course.
  12. Dylan Falconer represented Scotland u15s in 2014. Can't recall hearing of any Scotland call-ups since.
  13. Moore did break in to the team at a young age before a horrific injury. If he's fully recovered from that, then he will have a future at Motherwell. Given that his striking buddy ended up at Leeds, I hope he gets a chance with us again.
  14. A special night for following the 'Well. We've had some real quality bubbling under the surface the last 2/3 years and glad all concerned were rewarded tonight. Loving the love for Campbell, the boy is dynamite. Craigan and Lasley pinpointed him at the beginning of the season and done a terrific job developing him. Bumped into Moult on the way out, great to see the majority of the 1st team there. Real togetherness about the club just now.
  15. Developers are spending considerable time battling for planning permission to build 1,000+ homes across other parts of Motherwell. Meanwhile they don't touch the vast space at Ravenscraig with a barge pole. Think that tells its only story regarding concerns over land. Was there not a protest recently too to ensure a school didn't get built there?
  16. I'm no sure Jack would get in the team. Expect Robbie to feature.
  17. It's been getting continually developed for years though with the majority of plans failing to come to fruition.

  19. Looking for a new house in the Motherwell area so I could come round to the idea of Fir Park being sold to a developer. Don't fancy Motherwell moving to Ravenscraig though, such a grim part of town.
  20. This surprises me as I assumed he had a good head on his shoulders in order for McGhee to propel him ahead of Laing, Kennedy and to a lesser extent, Watt. Infact one of the few pieces I've read on him was how he struggled with a bout of homesickness and was grateful to Motherwell staff for helping him knuckle down. We'll see what happens. We've handed out deals too early to young ones in the past.
  21. Regarding Hall, as much as the early signs are very promising, I'd be surprised if any Scottish club was willing to pay a development fee plus significantly higher wages than Motherwell.
  22. I can't see Hibs being in much trouble financially due to cup runs. However I'd be surprised if the likes of Hall would be interested in leaving Motherwell for a Hibs team that could still be in the championship.
  23. Wonder who else is in for Hall then, I presumed Rangers was nothing more than a lazy rumour. Given the unexpected opportunity McGhee presented to him and the NI connection you'd think he'd be happy here. If he left, we'd be due a 6 figure sum eh?
  24. Thought Ben Hall strolled through the game today. He is definitely out of contract aye?
