why should hearts, hibs or aberdeen fans subsidise motherwell? ` i'm quite happy paying my money knowing that it is going towards us putting a team on the park. i wouldn't be very happy knowing that half my season ticket money was going out to other clubs.

in my opinion hughes has been palying with one hand tied behind his back recently. he's got maros beside him who does a great job but is one dimensional, o'brien to his right who is an enigma and someone who gets picked out a hat on his left. we also have the thed third world kris boyd up front who doesn't get involved much. stick hughes in either old firm team and just like mcdonald things would become a lot easier for him with less to do in the side.

jim paterson hasn't played for months. any money he is fat as fuck. the fact that a guy who only bothered to get fit for one of his four seasons at the club is held in such high regard is a joke.

hughes ran the game for the first hour on saturday and was head and shoulders above every midfielder on the park. dorman scored a good goal but wasn't that impressive. dorman has something of the brian kerr/ged brannan about while hughes is a class act.

john boyle's been smoking crack! if we were going to join a another league make it the spanish one. fuck going to barnet when we could just as easy jump on a flight over to spain. he should also investigate some sort of super league with us, ajax, barcelona, mallorca, 1860 munich, hamburg and every club in prague.

if we start the season with micheal fraser in goals and john sutton up front i'll greet.

we're not going to get anyone better so he shouldn't go. he is a good manager but has made far too many errors in team selection this season searching for something that isn't there. but. there has been no consistency in selection all season. starsail talks about hughes and mcghee being much better than the rest of the people at the club and after wayching the game yesterday i'd probably agree about hughes but mcghee has failed this season. yesterday's experiment of hammell in midfield was madness, first of all for doing it in such an important game and secondly for doing it with coach behind him who couldn't attack down the left and was missed attacking from right fullback. why not just play fitzy at left mid? or even mcgarry, we played quite well against aberdeen. mcghee's use of a lot of players has been baffling this season. quinn - he has started in five different posistions this season. he is a very good right back, definitely not a midfielder. mclean - once he got back to fitness the team seemed to be shunted round every week to squeeze him. a year or so ago mcghee was telling anyone who would listen he wasn't good enough but now he's playing guys out of posistion to squeeze him in? mclean sold goals against hearts, aberdeen and rangers but this continued. wtf! o'brien - shunted between right and left mid over the last two months when he is clearly far more comfortable on the right. mcgarry - in cold storage for months then brought out for two games and then not even considered good enough to come on as a sub yesterday. lasley - mcghee say he's our best player at the start of the season but now paul quinn gets a game ahead of him in midfield. fitzy - plays very well in our best run of the season then gets dumped never to been seen again. malcolm - played in the first game of the season and embarassed by the hearts midfield. brought out of cold storage and given a free role in nancy. turns out to be useful plugging a gap at CB for a month then never seen again. what a waste of money. murphy - talked up by mcghee, fucked about at the nancy game then benched for the rest of the season. porter - dropped for nancy away!!!!!!! mcghee's single worst decision. sheridan - comes straight into the team and starts 6 or 7 games. now he can only get five minutes when we need a goal. sutton - frozen out for a while then back in. played every minute of every game recently even although he's been poor. clarkson - shunted out wide right for two away games then mcghee announces he's knackered and benches him for two must win games. don't play him at wide right at tynecastle then ya clown! we started an away game at killie with a midfield of murphy-mcgarry-hughes-clarkson even with all this pish we almost made the top six. with the quality we've got in the squad we could have done this easily by playing our best players in their best posistion.

i doubt we're going to make it now which is disapointing as results have been kind to us the past few weeks but we haven't taken advantage. we really need st mirren to get a result against hibs next . i don't hold much hope of us overtaking their goal difference if we end up on equal points as hibs and rangers have played out a one nil previously when it suited both of them and would probably do so again.

fair enough. it just seemed a bit daft that a guy with a copyrighted image as his avatar was moaning about copyrighted images being used on the site.

whit? so is there no copyrighted images allowed on the site anymore?

reynolds is the worst passer of the ball at the club. he's a good defender because he's athletic and reads the game well but he cannae pass to save his life. putting him in midfield would be madness.

he punched the guy once so he didn't beat anybody unconcious. scraps outside the dancing are hardly rare events in this country, kicking quinn out for that altercation would be OTT. i have to agree about our youths being a bunch of wee neds. i've heard them in uppercrust talking about carrying knives and other acts of general bammery. but most young footballers seem to be neds and if we unearth a wayne rooney (or another faddy) that'd be ideal.

with all the international boozing finished we can look forward to a game where you don't have to watch kenny miller it seems like they've all been big ones recently but the split getting closer and a trip to ibrox up next this game is vital. people on here are talking about europe but it don't think we could be too upset if missed out, if we were to end up in the bottom six however it would be a severe boot in the balls. so basically we need to take one more point than hibs from the next three games or the same points and two goals better goal difference. it will likley go all the way to the sunday tv game between hibs and rangers at easter road two weeks on sunday. hopefully mcghee will learn from the mistakes of killie and put out a team that can win the match. i'd play (assuming craigan is out) smith quinn mclean reynolds hammell o'brien hughes maros fitzy clarky sheridan let's hope we can get right behind the team and get off to a quick start and put aberdeen under pressure.

this would be great news if it's true. we don't have anyone comfortable playing on the left and pearo definitely has the ability to make an impact in the spl. it would also send out a good message about our intentions for next season and that mcghee is serious about staying and moving the club forward. hopefully it would encourage stef and buzz to sign new deal and i'm sure clarky and quinn would get a boost from their mate resigning.

here's my holiday photos.

anybody want to own up to sireing a h*n or a tim?

i'm a bit suprised by the amount of people who support a different team from their dad. what's the point in the having a wean, feeding it, clothing it, buying it christmas presents if it isn't even going to support the same team as you. i'd put the ungrateful wee bastard up for adoption.

the question needs to be asked again. clarky looked sharp when he came on and will surely start against aberdeen. neither of the other two had a particularly good game today but sheridan was more involved and caused kilmarnock a few problems. i'd start him as they're both about the same in the air and he is clearly better in other aspects of play. sutton was diabolical especially in the first half. i think there is going to be a bigger question asked about sutton soon. he does very little apart from score which seems fair enough but he's only scored 7 in 21 games. he isn't that good in the air and looks ridiculous when he tries to run so i think we have to ask ourselves whether it's worth carrying a player who'll do nothing for two games but score in the third. if we were in a relegation battle i'd say yes but we've got aspirations of finishing high up the league so i don't think we can afford to carry deadweight like we did today.

one of those days when you get the feeling mcghee is secretly quite happy with the draw. it reminded me of the game with falkirk a year when we blatantly played for the draw against a beatbale team. a year ago i was pissed off but it turned out ok so now i'll give him the benefit of the doubt. as far as the team goes we looked much better with clarky on and sutton did nothing apart from last 90 minutes. quinn struggled in midfield and mclean did ok but again had a couple of dodgy moments which could have cost us goals (same as every match) and seemed to tire after halftime. jim o'brien on the right seems to be fighting a battle against himself for the 90 minutes so playing him on the left with a an added degree of difficulty is no use at all, my opinon of him has changed recently and i think he can do a job for us but not on the left. the devil's advocate would say that we own with that team last week but i'd say that playing away from home, on a bigger pitch against a team with talouil and fernandez rather than levien's no flair mob changed the circumstances drastically. both teams were poor but could have scored, we'll say that with the right team playing we should have won but that doesn't mean much. let's hope mcghee is right again and that he's willing to make a few changes before the sheep game.

they're maybe just trying to make the most money possible? if clubs like us and killie could make more money by letting people in cheaper i'm sure they would.

i actually think it's worse than that. i don't think setanta actually showed the skippy sunday game live, i'm sure they were only showing the hibs-h*n game. might be wrong though.

i've only seen sheridan twice, yesterday and tynecastle, and i've thought he put in a good shift both times especially against hearts where he ran himself into the ground.

basically who do people think should start at killie? for me clarky should be first choice every time and sheridan should be playing beside him based on his and sutton's performances over the last few games. mcghee doesn't seem to fancy clarky up front over the other two even although he's our top scorer so i was wondering what other people thought concerning this particular selection predicament.

i think if we lose to hearts tonight then they're probably away from us but united could still be caught. we've got to play them twice and with the top six games likely being extremely competitive this season anything could happen. i can remember people writing off our chances off finishing third last season after the away defeats at easter road and tannadice. look what happened after that.

the park was heavily frosted the day of the cup game but there was no snow. the match in december was the one where it started snowing at halftime and we came back and won two one. also that same night mayweather gave hatton a doing. it was a good day all round
