Speaking personally, I'm childish about things like that (despite heading rapidly towards fifty). If someone works you over, and I believe McGhee did, (improved contract etc etc etc), you like to see them fall on their arses. I really do hope McGhee falls flat on his c**t at Aberdeeen, or starts behaving like a ten bob hooker again and pisses the sheepy fans off. It's not the most important thing in my life but i'd love to see it happen.

Abso-bloody-lutely matey. Thats the only way clubs like ours can survive. When i talked about 'investing in the squad' I was meaning the kind of thing that jim McLean was a master at. Like getting some kid from a lower division team, signing him up on a 7 year contract and punting him on. That is the kind of thing that only the richest can do. (Man U, Ronaldo) Remember people saying Fergie had accidentally signed the wrong Ronaldo ?? :-) Players that we've brought up and brought through should be on decent length contracts so that we can get the best out of them and still get a decent fee. Unfortunately, these days, agents are getting in the heads of young players and advising them against long contracts with the promise of big moves and big signing fees. As you say, if we allow these kids to slip away, that is just incompetance.

Absolutely spot on mate. I think there are a lot of clubs yet to deal with their incoming problems. In a way it's similar to the administration thing a few years back. It forced us to get our house in order while other clubs firefight their finances and continue to accumulate debt, we are in a position where that is not happening any more. Every club in the league will have to deal with debt problems (if they haven't already) and it can come as a short sharp shock in the way it happened to us or it can be done slowly by offloading players (how many 'sellable' players are there in the SPL ?). I firmly believe some will not survive this process. I'd rather be where we are than where some of the others are. Fans talk about 'investing in the squad' but these days there is no such thing. Players on two year deals to get their next bosman move. Only the very richest teams can 'invest in the squad'. Can you imagine what would happen in England if Sky went bust ????? :-)

With the greatest of respect to the younger fans, someone like Faddy can in no way be considered to be our best ever player. He played for the Motherwell first team for about 5 mins before moving on. The mid 70's team was half full of players who could do what Faddy did. Guys like Wark, Ian Taylor, Vic Davidson, Marinello could ALL beat men and cross and score goals. Faddy was special for his time but his time was brief and he was in a team dominated by non special players. Just my opinion like Tin hat on........

Get a bloody grip Gannon 3 mins without a goal ?? Get some fuckin' changes made C'mon The 'Well !!!!!!!

McGhee is a whore. Simple as. When he started fucking us, he was fucking someone else in his mind. He's now fucking the sheep and thinking about the tims. Like all cheap hookers, and like happened to him in England, he'll run out of people willing to pay to fuck him. GIRUY McGhee.

Maybe Mr Boyle should add a further question to his interview list for potential candidates. "And can you tell me that in spite of your obvious desire to get this job, are you likely to last more than six months before you turn into a cheap hooker offering free gammys to any chairman with a potential managerial vacancy". I think McGhee has been great for the football side of things but away from that, he's been an arsehole who speaks with a very, very forked tongue. Would love to see him go to the sheep shaggers and then discover that he's A) caught a dose from Stewart Milne & Willie Miller, and, B)Got far less of a budget than he expected.

Maybe Niall is Freddy Dindeleux and hangs about the shop after it closes, looking for a contract.

Heard from a very reliable source that Celtic will only take someone who can follow their traditional coaching methods. The short list is: 1. Fritzel 2. Glitter 3. Jackson

Only saw the game on the telly yesterday and haven't seen anything else of him (other than highlights) so maybe i'm not qualified to say but I thought Sheridan looked pretty pish to be honest. He might improve with games but why give that opportunity to someone else's player ? Sutton might improve with games and at least he's our player.

Would be the wee cnut Nevin........ He was on TV t'other night and when asked about the financial implications of Man City's bid for Kaka, started by saying 'I studied economics for a while...........'. If he studied economics, how did he not know that paying players £5500 a week on our turnover was probably not that clever a plan ?

What an amazing find ! Cheers !! That was my first ever game against Rangers.........remember going feckin' wild at that third goal with tears of joy streamin' doon ma face !! Magic......magic........ Vic Davidson was some player mind......one of my favourites of all time (as per the other thread).

Joe Wark by a mile and probably another mile Vic Davidson, Wullie P obviously.......

GIRRY Ya bunch o' purple pests !! 'mon the well

Too fuckin' long...........i HATE BBC live text.............

Glad the forum is back. It might surprise you, but there's no one to talk to about The 'Well on the Isle Of Bute. It's a haven of hunnery and timmery with the odd Morton fan thrown in
