  1. My first Motherwell team and replica strip, couldn't ever say no for nostalgic reasons. Took a while to realise the hoop/band was even a thing for us, given it was about 10 years before it reappeared. Wee Tommy's first season?
  2. McInnes got Aberdeen into Europe year after year, but their results there were unextraordinary, to sat the least. Same problem with cups. Almost always there or thereabouts, but apart from the early League Cup, they won nothing, and might as well have stayed in the hoose when they were up against Celtic (sounds familiar). Their fans might have a Fergie fixation, but most aren't that stupid, they know where their best chance of silverware lies. Nothing's ever good enough for fans. We finish 3rd or 4th and mump about the standard of football, get to cup finals and complain when we don't beat the best team in the country. I do it as much as anyone. It's why we chose Alexander over Wright - the possibilities. You never know vs the same old, same old. How often does it work, for anyone? Imagine what we'd make of our legendary side of the 20s and 30s these days - Sailor Hunter would've been out on his arse.
  3. Commentary thought it's so he could get closer to the linesman. Given the 2 red cards, no sure about the wisdom of that move.
  4. Agree with that. I'm happy to admit I was wrong about the hopelessness of a few players (not all, though) but the questions will remain about their long term future once the season's over. It feels like a team now, rather than a collection of guys who disappeared then reappeared on a regular basis, with ever diminishing returns.
  5. Not to speak ill of anyone, I'll say he was a memorable teacher. The 2 Whiteford brothers were PE teachers at my school anaw.
  6. Some were saying our squad was pish, some were saying it wasn't. Anyone in the former category would have a point regarding Wright's lack of impact vs Alexander's success. Bit more difficult to compare if you always thought we had a decent side, as Killie fans seem pretty united regarding their pishness. I'm happy we got the right man.
  7. Few weeks back it looked like a clear out was needed, but some of the more maligned players have came onto a game. Results, good or bad, can blind you to a lot of things. Be interesting to see who folk would want to keep now, and who they still think won't cut it long term?
  8. Hamilton and Ross County have their games in hand against 2 out of form teams next Saturday. Results go our way, especially in the Accies game, we're virtually safe.
  9. I never liked strikers who look pissed off when their teammates score, but he manages to look pissed off even when he scores. He's got ability, just not enough to carry off that attitude.
  10. Can we have Stevie Kirk there every week?
  11. One of his passes looked moody, if that's even possible.
  12. He was singing Magloire's praises in the papers yesterday, so you know what that means.
  13. Imagine leading 6-2 away from home and almost losing.
  14. Another boot in the baws for Livingston. Gerrard sent to the stand. Copycat.
  15. I'd still go for a St Johnstone win. I'd rather chase them down than have Accies 3 points closer to us, given they'll be rubbing their paws at the thought of our next meeting.
