Pretty lucrative friendlies though. Win in two winnable in rounds and that's 200k in the bank.

Well hopefully the improved contract led to us getting some meaty compo at least

Tell me about it. Not quite there yet, but a couple of years back when I was 29 when I suddenly realised I was never going to play for Motherwell

word

If McGhee doesn't go to either Aberdeen or Celtic I'll eat my own bollocks. And fair play to him btw, he's both a Celtic and Aberdeen man, and they would be his top two teams-I-would-like-to-manage in Scotland. Hopefully it'll happen sooner rather than later and we can actually prepare for the start of a new season this time.

Yeah, North Motherwell were playing at the Stady as late as '93 before they were disbanded.

Cheers mate, used to work the gates about 10 years ago and was sure Jimmy was on his way out - he was in pretty poor health IIRC. Glad to hear he's still going to the games

Is that Jimmy Simpson you are talking about? Is he still going?

My. Sides.

My mate did this before - he was making decent money till he found out it was illegal. EDIT: Should say it was the first team he was commentating on, dunno about the legality of the reserve league.

Yeah, it's a little known fact that he is actually perpetually in orbit around McManus due to the power of her gravitational pull.

Only managed to catch the second half on telly, so probably shouldn't be voting, but I thought Reynolds played very well in the 45 I caught - not one bombscare moment that I can think of. Just shades Quinn for me, did you see his face when he scored? c**t loves playing for motherwell

There's just so much information and misinformation doing the rounds regarding this, that I don't think any c**t has a scooby what is going / went on - it wouldn't surprise me if this was a deliberate ploy by the club either...

It annoys me the focus that is put on him being "a wean", "a wee boy", "an 18 year old" etc. If he's old enough to play professional football, and he's old enough to decide which country he will represent for the rest of his career, he's old enough to take pelters from opposing fans for it. If the focus is going to be on him being a "wee laddie", maybe he should turn out for the under 19s where there won't be crowds to, rightly IMO, get stuck into him. EDIT: Oh ok, well I think there would. What point are you trying to make?

No, he was playing for Motherwell. Is that really so difficult to understand? We all knew McDonald was a diver when he played for us. We didn't boo him for it. But now when he does it for Celtic he's rightly called a dirty little c**t, and if he did it against us we'd be booing the fatty all the way back to Glasgow. Pulling up football fans for being hypocritical is a bit of a silly exercise. It's in the nature of fans to look after their own and hound the opposition - especially if there's a ready made reason to hound them.

That's just arguing semantics though. Fact is, we know something is amiss regarding the USH, the club have failed to make any kind of statement or interview about it, which in a lot of people's eyes - including mine - means they know fine well the current situation is out of order. We know the ins and outs of the pitch getting baked solid, but frankly that's not an excuse - it is our responsibility to ensure we have working USH, and we don't. Let's not forget the verging-on-silky soccer we try to play, and how that is virtually impossible on the current surface. To salvage any integrity - not to mention top six aspirations - we might yet have, we need to get this situation fixed STAT. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will be any time this season, which could well cost us a place or two in the league. Bite the bullet, fix it, and let's move on.

Every time I've seen him he's been shit, every Celtic fan I know says he's shit. Got fuck all to do with bigotry. Like the sound of the Birmingham boy though.

AFAIK the faddy money went straight to the creditors.

5/1 I got on betfair...

Yeah, not to mention cash up front.
