Cant see us offering the Ox a new contract, if he had something Kettlewell fancied we would have seen him by now. If we did offer him a contract, why would he take it when he hasnt had a look in while the number 1 has struggled for form. Either an extension for Kelly or two new keepers i reckon.

🏆SC Greenock Morton v Motherwell 09/02/2024
Big Stall replied to SteelmaninOZ's topic in Club Chat
A fuck shit pile of crap tonight. No fight, no skil, nothing to offer. A horrific performance for most in our colours. Wont fix things but kelly needs 'dropped' or 'rested' or however we want to slap his arse. He has been a shaddow of himself all season & if the reserve keeper is so bad that he doesnt deserve a shot...... well thats on MFC Not just kelly. The rest need a good hard look at themselfs -
In the big bad world, if you project your losses early doors & plan for them then its not really anything to worry about. Unexpected losses are however a different story. *except in the world of internet forums

Given only 2 weeks ago we started a game with 1 striker on the pitch & no recognised strikers on the bench then i have no issue with Shaw being here as an option. I would be very surprised if he is considered a starter, but as a squad and bench filler then he is better than heehaw
-
Not bad for a team that were getting relegated a few weeks ago
-
Im not a fan of his but i think he has been very good both Saturday and lastnight. Long may it continue
-
Great night, great to watch. We destroyed County and it could have been by a far wider margin. Spittal gets MOTM for those goals but the pleasing thing for me was how well the team played. I didnt see any performers standing out miles better than anyone else - probably because they were all at it & really working well as a unit. Onwards to Friday...... She wore.....
-
The pitch was the worst its been on Saturday for years. Have to go back to the McGhee era when it really was a proper disaster. Once we got it fixed up, we have never looked back, but Saturday was a regression. No doubt about it. Whether thats to do with the summers investment, groundstaff or different techniques, no idea but it didnt look good
-
But that hes 'trying hard' so he gets a pass for not doing an essential part of his job.....
-
You have said this or something similar in a number of posts now. In any job, you can try as hard as you like but if you cant pull off the goal despite trying then it is only right that people question abilities.

To be fair, Paton isnt the only pish one we have. They all did well today but by christ the standard has fairly dropped off in the last 5 - 10 years
-
Good performance, take a point at the start of the day. We were the better team although not by huge amounts. The biggest positive for me today was that we actually looked like we were playing as a team. One with a shape and purpose. Compared to some of the shite we have seen served up this season, its a major improvement. Bair getting better with confidence. Will be good to see with more attackijg options. Really could be doing with 3 points on Tuesday Mon the 'well!
-
Not a kettlewell boo boy but if we cant sign 1 striker in the window to replace/compliment or even give competition to the only striker we have (who was signed as a 3rd option prospect) then that is another black mark. Granted, some of that may be due to others at the club but its a shambolic state of affairs
-
Brophy doesnt fire the imagination, but he's better than heehaw
-
No idea what he gets paid but i thought we paid money to sign him. Assume we planned on selling kelly & would have a good keeper in the Ox ready to step in. Would make sense that he is on a decent salary. Which still might be nothing like the figure quoted.
-
The fact that Spittal is one of our better players, just shows how poor our standard (and our peers to be fair) has dropped in the last few years. The guy is not irreplaceable, he's not even that good. He's just less shite than most of the rest of our squad. If he wants to go to St Mirren, good luck to him.

Well, given that we were going to get put out on penalties at the weekend then any stay of execution is a good thing. It also gets more money in the coffers -
Gent by a country mile. Spittal did get two good goals so needs credit for that, but he did have plenty shockers in there
-
Leaving aside his goal, Gent was by far our best player today. Really good to see someone take the initiative and keep pressing forward. Miller made a difference when he came on, thats another big plus. Sadly the rest huffed & puffed but lacked any kind of quality. (Ok, Spittal managed 2 flashes). First half for some reason we would not commit men forward when we are attacking. At most 2 men trying to support. The other 8 hanging back. Second half to be fair to them we put a ton of good balls in the box. A number 9 would have had a field day. Big Theo is a trier, but he has no natural (or even learned) instinct, in where to go in tje box and get on the end of things. A striker really has to be a priority signing now. Through to the next round so thats the main thing but we are not looking good right now.
-
I thought he was attacking mid but hopefully im wrong.
-
One striker in the entire match day squad. Christ!
-
Fuck Hearts Wankers is horrific patter, but trotting out the same dribble week after week, season after season about getting beat and relegated isnt?🤔
-
Is the ticketing site down or is my link goosed?
-
To be honest, the majority of our players really are pish. Its not that long ago we had a team so pish we finished 11th & had to go through our playoff glory. How many of our current team would get in that team? Even the happiest clapper wouldnt put many in surely. That team, as bad as it was had mcmanus, pearson, ainsworth, Johnson, Las, Skippy & Sutton

Watched the latest video this morning. Iv got to say i was doubtful when i saw the add but i would encourage all the doubters to watch what the chairman is saying. 2.5 million views, more well society sign ups in the last few days & 10 noted expressions of interest in investing in the club. Couple that with reports of our wee 'tin pot' video making the media in the USA & Australia then it seems like we are doing something right.
