  1. Yeah, watching the game on Wednesday night on a dodgy stream got my juices flowing again. An absolutely sensational goal set up by Hastie and finished by Turnbull. Love a first time finish, shows he has superb confidence in his ability. My enthusiasm is so great for today’s game that I’m going on my own. My old man passed away a few years back when he was just shy of 60 and my boys, who are 6 & 8 show no interest in watching football so far. Still love going to games though and you can always manage to strike up a conversation with a fellow dosser.
  2. Is it PATG today and if so, what is parking like round the ground?
  3. Robinson needs to pull a couple of top signings out the bag as this squad has very few match winners. Down the years our good teams have always had goal scorers. Right now, we are struggling to score in most matches. That’s why the heat is on him. If he doesn’t resolve that, we are in trouble.
  4. Also can’t see Hibs signing Allan if they are signing Gauld.
  5. If Scott Allan comes in, I guess we are selling David Turbull.
  6. Because that is from another league. You can only loan one player from a team in your own league i.e. one Celtic player, one Hearts player, etc, etc.
  7. The rule is simply that you can only loan 1 player from any one club in the same league I think i.e. we couldn’t loan another Hearts player, but can loan a Celtic player. Well I think so.
  8. Could be a wee sell on fee for us if Big Ben moves on from Sheffield United.
  9. Report: Sunderland want to sign Sheffield United's Ben Heneghan Olly Dawes20 minutes ago Sunderland are reportedly keen on Sheffield United defender Ben Heneghan. According to Sky Sports, Sunderland are interested in snapping up Sheffield United defender Ben Heneghan, who is currently out on loan at Blackpool. Heneghan, 25, impressed in Scotland with Motherwell, earning himself a big move to Sheffield United in 2017, but he struggled for playing time at Bramall Lane, making just one appearance for the Blades. This term, the 6ft 5in centre back has headed out on loan to Blackpool, where he has played 28 games and even featured against Sunderland on New Year's Day. 7 Footballers Who NEED January Transfers Now, Sky Sports believe that Sunderland are keen to sign Heneghan, which would require Sheffield United to recall him from his time at Blackpool in order to sell him on. Blackburn Rovers are also thought to be keen, with Sunderland looking to beat the Championship club to his signature during this month's transfer window. The Black Cats are looking for another defender to boost their promotion bid, and after links to Celtic's Jack Hendry, Heneghan appears to be emerging as the new target for boss Jack Ross. Ross will no doubt know plenty about Heneghan from his time in Scotland, and may hope that he can compete with the likes of Jack Baldwin and Tom Flanagan at the Stadium of Light. Intriguingly, this isn't the first time Heneghan has been linked with Sunderland. As reported by The Chronicle in 2017, Simon Grayson wanted to lure him from Motherwell to Wearside, before losing out to Sheffield United. List page image © Gareth Copley/Getty Images
  10. All Astro gets watered to keep the ball moving slickly. It can get caught under your feet a lot if it is too dry.
  11. I had a mate who was captain of the same Kilmarnock youth team as Samson and he continually said that he must have the best agent in the world to keep getting pro contracts as he didn’t rate him at all. My personal opinion is that I’ve never seen a keeper get beat from distance quite as often as Samson does. There are very few parts of his game that I think he is good at; so all in all, I think he is pretty pish.
  12. 14 goals in 79 games apparently according to transfermarkt.co.uk
  13. Carson hasn’t signed a new contract, has he? He signed a 3 year deal when he joined in Summer 2017 i.e. till 2020.
  14. I agree to a point, but we are Motherwell; there is a big chance we didn’t get any of our first choice signing targets. We should have still done better, but it’s a delicate balance that can easily tip the wrong way with a few mistakes.
  15. If we are relying on Curtis Main & Ryan Bowman to score us the goals to get us out of this predicament then we are doomed as both are incapable of scoring 15 goals in this league. As it stands, big Curtis couldn’t hit a barn door! I’ve also no idea why we insist on prioritising crosses as he can’t header for toffee. Worst timer of a jump for a stricken that I have ever seen! We are in big big trouble.
  16. Surely it is 3-5-2 with the players he’s got in the first 11. Aldred-Hartley-Dunne as a back 3.
  17. At Oldham and Motherwell.......what’s the definition of stupidity again?
  18. Safe to say, I too am becoming a bit fed up with our manager and our team. Robinson could actually get us relegated unless he addresses the squad deficiencies in January (which I doubt).
  19. Let’s be honest, there were no ‘easy ‘ ties with the various teams left. Ayr and St.Johnstone were the best draws, but there are no guarantees we would have beaten anyone; however on recent cup form, I fancy us against anyone but Celtic.
  20. Hibs also have 16,000 season tickets to our 4,000, so are not a barometer for our success; they are a much bigger city club.
  21. Eh, good examples.........both got relegated!?!
  22. Jesus wept. Donnelly and Dunne give cover for Right Back/Left Back and McHugh is seen as a midfielder by himself and his manager.........your comment is like stats i.e. skewed to try and support your argument. Mbulu will also be going into the Reserves in the first instance and may never play in the first team. The people moaning now would be the same people moaning if we lots two Centre Backs to long term we injury and had no cover. How about we just wait and see how the first 5-6 games go before rushing to chastise a manager who has delivered relative success for our budget!
  23. I’m sorry, but in my opinion that is nonsense. We can, and have played 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 depending on which way you look at it, we can and have played 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. We can also play 4-2-3-1 if we wanted to with Frear, Turnbull, Cadden. Admittedly we are a bit short if Frear or Cadden get injured; but certainly can play a variety of formations and personnel.
