Big Stall

Not that Im doubting you, but do you have any knowledge to base that on or are you just giving her credit because of the good things she has actually done for the club? On that note, with the amount of press we/she has had in the last month or so, I've had mates who support the OF and other clubs, talking about how good a job she appears to be doing and how she seems to say all the right things. A stark contrast from Martin Bain, John Reid etc etc.

I do think that when there is a big delay between the penalty getting awarded and the actual taking of the spot kick, the taker should pass responsibility to someone who hasn't just spent the last 5 minutes thinking about it and getting wound up by the other teams gamesmanship. We saw it last season with JOB against Rangers and we saw it lastnight. I wouldv liked to have seen Craigan go up top and say to Murphy, just hang back, give it to Hatley or Hammil who the opposition havent been winding up. Further on from that point, if it looks likely the pen is getting awarded for a red card offence and theres defo going to be a delay, get someone who's not going to be hittting it to pick up the ball and take the crap from the opposition. It would have been quality to have seen Saunders standing with the ball for 5 minutes, taking the bait and then throwing the ball to Murphy when the time actually came.

Given how much this tie means to the club financially - £1.5-£2m against an annual turnover of £4m. Surely Boyles got to say to the lads, come on, get us through this and you all get £15k in your next wage packet! Im trying not to get excited because we all know how often we get let down following the well. Cant help it, walking down buchanon street at lunch time there and my thought drifter to actually making it out the groups back into classic cup football! Fucksake!

He did win the cup and get third in the league, far better than what Levein did for them.

Having not really had the chance to watch many motherwell games on the telly, lets face it if we are playing an important game in Scotland most of us are there, the pub lastnight was a crazy experience. I've been in boozers before watching scotland and seeing places erupt but absolutley nothing like that. When that goal went in the noise, the exhileration, the comunal orgasm...... Fuck knows what happened, it was mental and it was awesum! Lets get that atmosphere in Fir Park next week! Mon the 'well!

Because that was the deal presented to him when we went into admin, one that he accepted. In essence his old 3 year deal is ripped up and he has his new deal.

You get your picture taken with Louis Walsh Decorator.

The funny bit is that they are all going on about how we got a steal, in that coach was crap and not worth the money. They don't seem to put two and two together and note that they essentially raped us by getting Rossco for such a small amount. Then again, they are just a bunch of fannies posting on the internet...............

Fuck the shop! I hope Esteban gets a hat trick soon!

Im tiger woods.

The guys that much of an enigma that we still don't get a photie, even after he's signed!

What the fuck do you do for a living that you can play football manager at yer work?? Im hoping your the boss of your own company.

And Motherwell have not played, never mind beaten any of those mentioned on your list. We cant really compare Flamarturi with Barcelona and Lyon. Odense are favourites, and deservadly so. They are seeded, we are not, theres a reason for it. I am hopeful that the players aren't buying into this, Nancy philosophy of 'yaaaas, we'v got the easy team, we'll get through' that you see in some of these threads. If so, then we are on the fast train to a let down.

So Ruddy pumped yer maw. Deal with it.

And since he's got a 3 year contract round his neck John Boyle can stand up for himself and extort serious money should anyone want Jamie Murphey

Surely its not all seeds at home first??

From where I was Fitzy was pushed yes, but then went on to completely man handle the player in a rugby tackling/wrestling stylee.

But what if we hadnt gotten that pen for the dive in the last game against rangers??

I think they would beat us yes. But hammer? Infact with the way Brown sets us up, are we really likely to get hammered by anyone?? (By hammering I mean 4+ goals against)

Fitzy was the down side for me, not the fact he was playing, but that stupid yellow card. He totally brought that on himself. Can't blame anyone else for that one.

That sounds poetic, lets hope prophetic!

Esteban27!

Just incase Craig Brown comes on here and asks us for our tactical input?? Sorry mate, couldnt resist

Because if they paid for a season ticket then they made the commitment to the club early and fronted up 250quid+ back in May. That money will no doubt have been utilised by the club during the summer when they realistically have no other income stream short of selling players, so its only fair to reward ST holders. Hence, first shout.

Eh? If he can do it consistantly then fair enough. Once in a season wouldn't really cut the mustard though. Give a monkey a typewriter, he'll eventually come up with something sensible.
