  1. 2nd game in a row that I've given to McManus - never had a lot to deal with but was comfortable throughout. With him and Hutch I reckon we have our best central defence since the days of McCart, Martin and Mio and a return for Scotland isn't out of the question.
  2. A good 3 pts on the board but by fuck was i bored watching that - total and utter pish. Sutton is brutal
  3. Same old story for Motherwell in Europe........whether Kuban were playing within themselves I couldnt be sure but I thought we dominated the match in terms of possession without having the ability to break down their very impressive defence. A few wee points; 1) Stevie Hammell should get an absolute doing for the 2nd goal, what the fuck he was playing at I will never know - in one split secong he killed the tie stone dead 2) I am going to struggle to watch John Sutton all season, never liked him 1st time around and if anything he has got slower since then. Granted he never had much in the way of support and some of the hopeful balls up were dificult for him to deal with 3) I am far from convinced about ZFA's merits for inclusion in the team, particularly in that winger role he played last night - a headless chicken at times 4) Faddy shouldnt be stuck out on the right wing - our most talented player is wasted out there. Faddy though cut a very frustrated figure last night, not a lot came off for him and on too many occassions gave the ball away cheaply, which is another reason I'd prefer him up behind the striker rather than out on the wing and potentially leaving a full-back stranded. 5) Thought McManus and Hutch looked solid in general, couple of poor passes out of defence but when it comes to league games I'd expect them to stroll through 6) Lawson hardly gave the ball away all night, which is more than can be said for Vigurs who seemed to be over-playing it at times. That said, I like the look of both of the Ross County lads 7) Hollis - how anyone can be critical of the guy after last night is beyond me, yes he flapped at one cross (Randolph was prone to do that on occasion as well) but other than that he never put a foot wrong - I'd still prefer a more physical presence in goal right enough 8 - The lack of options on the bench is a real worry, to the point that we bring Fraser Kerr onto be our right-midfielder 9) The fact that Djibril Cisse is on their bench highlights the gulf in class, budgets etc With the way things are going, I'd be looking for McCall to change things for the league games, we dont have a single winger in the squad, so I'd be tempted to go 3 at the back Ramsden Hutch McManus Kerr Hammell Lawson Lasley Vigurs Faddy Sutton (because there is no one else)
  4. Got to agree. While I can see why some folk might like Friday/Saturday evenings for matches, I definitely dont. Anything other than 3pm on a Saturday is a load of pish
  5. I've never really had any desire or intention to sign up......I support the Club through paying for my season tickets, I've never felt the urge to want to own a part of it.
  6. £8 to watch Shaun Fagan and Johnny Fallon? Fuck that
  7. £40 for me and my two boys is decent value for money
  8. No wind-up, he is signing a 2year deal!! Not sure what you're getting your knickers in a twist about though. I have no idea how good he is, and neither do you.
  9. Craig Reid signing a 2 year deal
  10. Imrie would do a better job than Daley done last year and I'd expect on a lot less cash. If we sign, Faddy, McManus, Imrie and the lad from Morton, added to Vigurs, Lawson, Sutton, Neilson and Kerr, I'd be thoroughly delighted with the work done in thsi transfer window. Neilson Ramsden Hutch McManus Hammell Lawson Lasley Vigurs Faddy McHugh Sutton subs Hollis Kerr Cummins Reid Carswell Angol Imrie
  11. Load of shite (no pun intended)
  12. 5.30pm on a Saturday is just another shit time to kick off a fitba' match
  13. From last seasons squad so far we've lost; Randolph Hateley Saunders Law Higgingbotham Faddy Humphrey Daley Higdon Ojamma. We've replaced all of these players with Sutton, Vigurs and Lawson, and promoted Murray, Moore and Erwin from the reserve squad. We badly need players and attacking ones at that, there is no way that McCall will be happy with his squad if he only signs McFadden bewteen now and our 1st match.
  14. Sorry if I dis-regard your opinion on strikers Steelboy
  15. Fair do's, your opinion. In my opinion though, he isn't a player that I'd have been hoping to see in the 'well 1st team next season.
  16. Are people not meant to have opinions like?
  17. Cannae say I'm excited at the news of Sutton signing, particularly when you consider our other current options up front which will mean that he is going to be 1st pick. Wasnt a fan of his the 1st time around and since then his career seems to have gone backwards in a big way.
  18. I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist about Imrie just yet, he knows nothing about any trial with Motherwell
  19. She was the real reason you wanted to go to Bathgate week in, week out
  20. Steelboy gets a bit of bad press on here at times, mostly when it comes to his judgement of players, particularly the big fat, lazy fucker that only scores goals (we all know who he is), but I tend to find that when he isnt talking about players ability he is generally spot on and is certainly spot on in this case. Hutchison will only sign a new contract if he wants to see Motherwell get a fee for him, and in that case he would be a strange breed of footballer in the modern game. He is destined for bigger things than we can offer, and will be able to command far higher wages than we can muster (and a large signing on fee to boot) when he lets his contract rundown in 12months time
  21. oooohhh, negative reps??!! £400k is a helluva lot of money to us particularly for someone we brought in for hee-haw, just what, 18months ago? Take the cash and use it wisely I say, or else we lose him for fuck all to a pre-contract in January.
  22. Punt him and trust McCall to bring someone else in
  23. One eye on the Sevco job
