Big Stall

I don't see a problem with saying the flags shite, if it actually is. And this one is. The forbes one is good and the guys involved should be proud of that one. Good feedback when its deserved, negative feedback when its deserved. Nothing wrong with that.

From what I witnessed last week, its not just fitbaw journo's that make shite up. A contract Im working on just now put out a press release last week. I read the official release, and I have since read 3 different papers taking the release and adding on whatever they felt like to the story, most of it was pretty unfounded. The majority of it will bear absolutley no resemblence to any final recomendations I make. However now the press have ran with nonsence, the public will have an expectation. Just to re-iterate, it wasn't a football story/issue.

It is getting annoying but to be honest considering where we were at the end of June and where we thought at that point this season would go, we have got to be happy. Jamie Murphy has really come onto a game now Gannon has been playing him in the hole. JOB however is not effective through the middle. He needs to be hugging the touchline IMO. What is really annoying is that we know how shite everyone else in the league is, and if we had of converted some of these draws against 10 men teams into wins, we would be in a right handy position. I do however think if we can keep Gannon, we will have a cracking season next year.

So really, since no one said anything about them being morally superior poor wee souls, you are just constructing straw men to suit your arguament. Cool.

Who's suggested that soldiers are highly moral poor souls?? They are trained killing machines! They don't get to choose which wars they have to fight in, I believe is the point the poster was making.

Because I have a comfy lifestyle which includes living and working 15 miles from the stadium so can get to most home games hence why I have a season ticket. I don't get shot at for a living nor go off to fight in wars that I probably don't believe in. These guys are brave, they do a job that a lot of people wouldn't and probably couldn't do. At the moment they probably won't be available to get full use of any season tickets anyway due to tours of duty, postings and whatever the forces word for shift work is. So I see no reason why 30 season books shouldn't be available for general forces use. Its a general thankyou for the work they do. Work which appears at times from reading this board and other sources, to be under appreciated. Anyway, its only 30 tickets, its not worth getting your knickers in a twist because you don't get in free. If the club was to make 30 tickets available to the job centre to pass out, or the emergency services, I wouldn't have any problem with that either.

I have a great deal of respect for our armed forces, and for what it's worth, Im against the war in Iraq. IMO I think this is a good initiative by the club. Well done MFC.

Is there 250,000 'well fans??

Hmmm, would you rather live and work in Madera or Motherwell?? Thats a toughie!

Did you expect him to suddenly learn how to deal with crosses when he moved south??

Or maybe he got found out!

Dundee United have been decent (5th in the last 2 seasons). They also had a purple patch in the 80's. Outwith that, they have been pretty pish. Dundee United have no real reason to expect to finish top 6 every season, and are not really that much bigger than us.

In the last 3 games, aye! We have been absolutely shocking against 10men!

I was always a McGhee fan, but some of the stuff there is a bit rich. Mark, you really expect us to believe that you left to do us a favour? Come on!

The tea lady should be above McGarry in the pecking order!

Under 13 level!

I think that maybe a bit wishful thinking. We can get away with saying its a sideways step given Aberdeens predicament both on and off the field, but to say that a bigger club with bigger fan base, who finished above us last season and poached our manager off us is a step down is just the talk of a claret and amber goggled fundamentalist. Sorry. Saying that, i wouldn't say it will be a step up, and would like to think if he go's he will be going down south.

Fur fucks sake, no this pish again!

Exactly. What experienced players do we have anyway? Craigan, Lasley, Hammil and Reynolds. Can't see Reynolds being in the huff, Hammil has played well. If Craigan and Lasley were to go, it wouldn't really be the end of the world. Although I would rather they both stayed in the squad. As for JOB. I think he's been great this season, but after how close we were to the bare bones at the start of July, Gannon has put together a decent team. Im not really worried about any of the players leaving as Im hoping Gannon will pull more irons out the fire.

I had a pie at NDP on Saturday, was actually quite tasty. Could have been doing with being a bit warmer right enough.

We weren't really dishing out the pumpings and sweeping teams aside in McGhees first season until November - December. So, you never know, a wee 3-0 against the sheep - just like two years ago could kickstart it...........

See when he wins the league with us Is he going to stay and take us into the champions league, or move to the Liverpool/Chelsea job?? That would be a question......

Quite. And how many of our players have actually went to English league 1 and 2 sides anyway with the exception of Buzz of course who wanted to develop his Scotland chances.......

A guy was wearing it in the row behind me in the east on Saturday. Maybe because it was Halloween

Much improved performance from the last 2 games. Forbes wasn't at his best, but I dont think there was really a player in the team who had a bad game today. The ref was terrible right enough, although I had no complaints with 7 minutes of injury time. We were totally dominant with the exception of the 10 minutes after the sending off, just a shame we couldnt score a couple more. However if we win every game from no till the end of the seasn 1-0, we'll be in the champions league. We had a few crazy moments of our own, a Coke back headed from the middle of the park, Saunders slack pass and Ruddy nearly giving it away. Yaas also needed his baws toed in the last 10 for the space he gave Driver. But we got by. Dissapointed we didnt really go for them when they were down to 10 men. Really impressed with the job Saunders has been doing at CB, but I've got to say Im looking forward seeing a pairing of Hutch and Reynolds in there when Hammil comes back. Good to see big Sutton come back into the fold, although I really don't like JOB playing through the middle. I think he is far more effective hugging the touch line and getting the balls swung in, particularly if we are going to start playing with 2 big tall strikers. All in all it was a good game and performance and always good to get it up the FHW. Mon the 'well! Oh and OSB was a good read yesterday too!
