  1. ^you also thought we would get pumped 8-0 on Saturday so maybe we shouldn't put too much stock in your thoughts
  2. So did we get pumped 8-0 then? McCall must go
  3. Number 1 to number 2 at a prem club who will in all possibility struggle to stay up. Warnock is not a long term solution at Palace, that much is obvious. McCall would have to impress quickly or be turfed out when Palace get relegated or the new man comes in.
  4. He teaches the boys how to use twatter and scudbook
  5. He shouldnt lose his job, but he clearly should never have been given access to the email accounts either
  6. Dont want to jump on the outrage band wagon, but sent in error or not, we shouldn't be letting anyone who lacks common sense or a basic grasp of spelling and grammar anywhere near any kind of club communications. And, anyone who describes themselves as the main man at Motherwell and isn't McCall or whoever is the current most senior director really needs the club to pull them down a few pegs!
  7. My wee baby was born on the first game of the season so i haven't been to any games yet except the Euro match. Honest question, are we any worse than we were at this stage last season? The first few months of last season i thought we were absolutley dire, but managed to scrape a couple of wins mainly with long balls to Sutton and knock downs to Anier. We got the rub of the green last season and we are not getting now. Is that a fair assesment or am i way off the mark. I'll get along to Fir Park on Sat so I'll get to see how bad we are then.
  8. Last year, the first few games we were god awful and befeft of attacking ideas. We snuck a couple of results from long balls to sutton with a flick on to anier. Im not panicking yet
  9. This thread is useless without pictures!!
  10. Im actually more upbeat than I was last season. Before last season had even begun we lost 7 first team players, basically one of the best attacking Motherwell teams a good number of us have seen. Last season for the first few months we couldn’t link midfield and attack, the only way we looked like scoring was a long ball with Anier breaking the offside trap. After a few months they learned to play and we took second but I really thought last season was the time the bubble was going to burst. Contrast that with this season, we’ve only lost 3 first team players. We seem to know the way to goal and aside from Aberdeen, no one else has really strengthened. On paper, we should still be looking at top 4. Things don’t always go that way, but with our current team and with Leitch, Moore, Thomas hopefully ready to step up, we shouldn’t be too far away. A second striker and a commanding centre back wouldn’t go amiss however although we probably don’t have the budget.
  11. Do you really believe we would have made Europe 6 out of the last 7 years if everything off the park was as bad?? You have never hidden your dislike of McCall, with your 'wee ranger' posts, your need to set up a double account to say the same thing from two posters, etc etc. Don't rate McCall, thats all fine, opinions are like arseholes as the saying goes, but some of your and other posters reactionism on here is cringe worthy. Am I happy about the performance and result against the Icelandic mob? Of course not, it's a fucking shambles. But jumping the gun saying one of our best managers we have ever had is not up to the task and off-field we are a disaster is so way off the mark it's unreal. Someone else posted the league decline had to come at some point and now its come. Really? We haven't even started the campaign yet! From what I saw last week, I thought (first 30 minutes) we looked far more dangerous than we did for the first 3 months of last season. Obviously the fitness failings and the poor defence kicked in after that, but honestly, I was more upbeat last week than I was in the early part of last season. We at least look like we can score goals going forward, something we didn't look like doing early doors last year.
  12. Higdon set up a twitter, and has said some nice words about us. Any chance he's angling for another shot at the 'well?
  13. If we did, it wasn't on the clubs website fixture section last week.
  14. I remember maybe about 6-8 weeks left in the season, when Aberdeen were still in the Scottish cup, I was listening to one of the broadcasts before Aberdeen played Hearts. Richard Gordon, Willie Miller and Tom English had a big discussion on winning an 'Aberdeen treble'. Two cup wins, and 2nd in the league. I think we can all recognise that it would be a fantastic achievement, but the audacity to be discussing that on national radio long before any prizes were due to be dished out, blew me away. Had they not learned anything from the Celtic fans who had planned to win 3 trebles when Rangers were on their lower league tour.
  15. To be honest i think the club could be doing more to raise awareness if the game and market it. We have known for a month or so we would get the winner of Bangor or this mob, but not until last Thursday did we get to find out when the home game would be. Was there any official announcement and rallying call? Im as big a motherwell fan as the next guy, but i hadn't even looked at the possible dates until Monday and was caught off guard to see the home game was this week. Got my ticket yesterday right enough
  16. Not to mention the cooper suite club badge going out on tour.......
  17. Which would probably make him a better than average SPFL player
  18. I still reckon this Steelmenonline Chris Burke rumour is complete shite. Would like it to be true though
  19. If you have Sutton and Boyd, who do you have to run the channels, get in behind defenders, create things, take men on? IMO Boyd and Sutton need a foil which then allows them to play off the shoulder of the last defender. No foil means opposition defenders will have them in their back pockets every day of the week.
  20. Dundee United always go with the undisclosed fee route. Their fans have a chug over selling someone for £1.5mill then find out a year later it was close to £450k
  21. Henriks just won the Polish league. I really can't see him coming back to Fir Park
  22. Talking pish! Birmingham manager said the other day that they offered him a new contract but a host of championship clubs wanted him. If thats true, and why would the Birmingham manager make it up, then would he really have any interest in the 'well??
  23. And hes just won the league. Not sure battling it out for 2nd in the SPL will be too much of a pull
  24. Aye but melvin, we have to take what you say with a pinch of salt. Remember you would rather have Boab in the team than Ojamma.......
  25. Think your forgetting an almost ever present at the centre of defence
