the 'well are off to forgewood

seriously don't post anymore logical and well thought out posts. you could hurt somebody.

one eye's going for the messages the other one's coming back wae the change.

i would say that about a lot of opinions but as this website continues to prove on a day to day basis everyone is entitled to one. i still don't think his comments are any reason to demonise him though it should rule him out managing here (as well as being shite). i would have been happy to have had a minutes silence for puerta who had played in glasgow five months earlier but others on here you could guarantee would said it was OTT.

and as i said at the time where was our silence for antonio puerta? i don't want the guy as our manager but he should be allowed an opinion.

pittodrie's a bit of a shitehole these days, richard donald stand apart. some of it makes the east look like the emirates.

maybe too big a gamble for boyle. i've got a feeling that the reason luke isn't in with much of a chance is that boyle doesn't know anything about him as a manager or a person and there is no one over here who can give him a reference.

anyone who expects reynolds, clarkson or quinn to sign another contract at motherwell is aff their heid.

it's in the spl's long term benefit for setanta to keep the epl sweet first and foremost. if the epl take premiership games away from setanta subscribers would plummet and that'd probably be the end of it.

our ex managers have generally done very well, particularly ex Eck and BD. eric black has managed coventry and assisted in the premiership since he left us. mcghee has done very well out his time here. big tel got a dream job in oz (fair enough it turned into a nightmare). even the worst manager ever pulled a decent job at swindon after leaving here. guys like sanchez and staunton probably want to "do a mcghee" and rebuild their reps here.

i kind of forgot about that. i suppose i'm still living in a bit of hope that we might keep hughes (and buzz and mclean). we did need cover at left back though. patrick joseph gerrard boyle might come in handy next season.

left back is probably where we are shortest. reynolds isn't good enough on the ball to play fullback and paul quinn will probably be playing up front at some point next season so a bit of cheap cover will be handy. doesn't say much for our LB in the u19s though.

of course folk are looking forward to the new season. today - i cut our fixtures out the paper and put them in my wallet. monday - european draw, the board will go mental hopefully sometime in the next week - new boss, again expect a frenzy on here two weeks today - our first game which could be almost anywhere between iceland and china but definitely not in motherwell. at some point in the future - we will sign a player (i hope). this is the best close season ever. normally you get at least a month without much happening and the only chat on here is who smashed what at the masters. right now the telly's hoaching with sport - two fitba tournaments, lions, 20/20, us open and wimbledon soon - plus we've got all this going on. nae withdrawal symptons this year.

i'd be happy with eduaord malofeev. he was mental.

a couple is probably bang on. i remember him scoring a screamer once (maybe in the 5-1 win against raith?) and having a good game against rangers once (but he was up against staale steenas). on the other hand ange was never a football player but he did seem to spend 4 or 5 hours a day aimlessy wandering around north lodge so you've got to pick him.

we had a couple of quality black away kits about ten years ago, it would be be a decent change to go back to that. anyway i've heard claret and amber are popular colours in kazakhstan so we could well be seeing one in the next few weeks.

the staunton thing seems real enough. whether or not he's going to get the job he's definitely involved. scenario - gary mac gets interviewed, hears what boyle has to say doesn't fancy the job but recomends his ex assistant stan staunton. i said earlier in the week it's time to be patient and i'm going to try to stick by that. it's better that we spend a bit of time getting the right man than rushing and fucking it up.

you can bet on anything. if they don't have odds they just phone up the head office and get some. the only reason a bookie won't take your money is if they think there is insider info going about.

if the away leg of the first tie was on the 9th and then we had a game in kazakhstan on the 16th it'd be near enough impossible to get a visa unless your able to swing by a kazakh embassay in person. it would also cost a fortune. if we draw a team from kazakhstan or the caucas anyone who makes it should get free beer in the cooper suite for the rest of the season.

i had completely forgotten about alex burns' second spell here. he was shite.

i didn't think "europe if we do" could be beaten as a thread title but you managed it.

i agree. but he looked like desperate dan so he's going in my comedy XI. i'd be particularly entertained by the little and large davide ferrere (5 foot 4) steve mcdonald (6 foot 7) up front.

apparently there have been quite a few different interviews at boyle's office at glasgow so if staunton get's the job it won't be because he's the only man we looked at.

on a similar theme. if you had to play 2001 ange oefiou or 1997 kevin christie at right back for the well in the 2010 scottish cup final who would you choose.
