Jock: If they come out of this, they might win the cup! Kirky: ...........................................

This morning. Then Jock fell out of bed and smashed his pyjamas.

Aye, Jock, Lawless has an educated left foot. It went to the same school as Maguire's 2 feet.

Who cares? Supposing we sneak through, this mob have neither the ability nor the guts to do anything. No sign of a clue from management either, which is more concerning.

I honestly don't see what we're trying to do out there, hopeless players or not.

In one respect, yup. In another, it's anything but.

And apart from his ability, he's one of the few who consistently looks like he can be arsed.

Never mind blaming plastic pitches, we've got plenty plastic footballers who couldn't trap a baw on wet cement. Awful.

Awful first touch? Can't pass? No problem. Welcome to Fir Park.

Taking this Phil stuff too far.

Word up.

Some people did question if there was a issue over his contract without making accusations about anything else. Like you say, it grew arms and legs. If it was me newspapers or fans were spreading damaging rumours about, I'd have something to contribute to the conversation, but it's Gallagher and the club's shout on that.

It was aimed at Viva Motherwell, who did say the contract claim was now confirmed as false. You shared their post and said "Well well well". If, by that, you meant there's still no proof either way, fair enough. We're in agreement about the injury. The story coinciding with the peak of a shit season wouldn't have helped folk's perspective. Nor would Robinson's statement that unnamed players didn't want to be at Fir Park.

I know, hands up to elaboration.

Aye, mibbe I'll try it in English... Take a reasonable question - was there a trigger clause in his contract? Then attach the 'feigning injury' bit to it, as if there couldn't be a clause without that add on. Then it's no longer a reasonable question, it's a conspiracy theory. Which you can wheel out every time the issue comes up and make the whole thing sound ridiculous. Still doesn't answer the original question, one way or another. Neither does the fact both player and manager speak about "something" in the contract. Yet some folk use that as proof positive they were right, there was never anything in the contract. I've yet to see proof of anything, other than people are determined to believe what they want to believe, and nothing anyone else says will sway their opinion. That's no surprise, so it shouldn't really bug me. But it does.

Unless the ridiculousness of it is being used to make a reasonable question sound equally ridiculous. But the contract isn't even the real point here. I'm just staggered that people read/hear "something" and their take is, told you there was nothing. Actually, I'm not. Happens all the time.

Is he getting a perm?

I'm as sure as I can be - and I hope to hell it's true - that the club wouldn't just lie back and watch ANY player rip the piss by feigning injury. So let's accept he was indeed injured. The contract is another bag of buns. Gallagher himself, and now Alexander, have mentioned "something" in his contract. I've no idea what it was, but anyone who insists there was nothing in there is contradicting both of them. Apart from the injury 'story', the other conspiracy theory here is that the Record, for some reason I've yet to see explained logically (other than they're a shitrag), printed a downright lie that led to Gallagher being accused of cheating Motherwell, yet the player, his agent, the club - no one, could be arsed denying it. He's basically a goner now, so thanks, and good luck to him, unless he comes up against us in the future.

"I think there was something at the start of the season that I wasn't privy to and when I came in [as manager] it was about keeping him here until the summer and having another conversation with him - and that hasn't changed." Quote from Alexander. Not sure how that confirms anything was bollox.

For the Record, no.

Disnae look injured to me.

You shouldn't be drinking while you're pregnant, Meghan.

It's only right Scottish football pays its respects. Andrew's been a big fan of the Juniors for years, apparently.

As someone said, Prince Philip never changed his plans when Rangers died.

They got it in the neck from the usual suspects for having a complaints form, as this encouraged people to complain. Well, when you're at a loose end cos there's nothing decent on telly....
