This is a thread for people who do care about the football. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter but it's what this thread is about. Not really sure why you felt the need to come in here.

Stuart McCall had a squad available to him that could easily beat Albion Rovers. The fact that he put out a weakened team that lost means that the buck stops with him. Why does he continue to make the same mistakes in cup games?

The attendance against Rangers was only 5345, nowhere near a full house. Great draw though! Decent chance of getting a lower league team in the next round.

Crosses into the box played right into Aberdeen's hands. When you have a man advantage you need to keep the ball and wait for the opening, not fire hopeful balls in to a packed box.

Overall Stuart McCall's done a very good job since he came to Motherwell. However.......I really can't fathom some of the decisions he makes prior to and in "big" games. He continually makes the same mistakes, strange lineups and crazy substitutions. FFS, Faddy in the squad but at at no point (even 1-0 down with 5 mins to go) did it seem like a good idea to bring him on!?

For someone whose opinions on players have been so spectacularly wrong in the past I'm surprised Steelboy thinks anybody is still interested in what he has to say. Obviously not the brightest.

I'm pretty sure it was after that game that Malpas said "it's just your Donald Duck. Once the players cross that white line there's very little a manager can do". I think he also mentioned the players being in "holiday mode". Should have been told to beat it at that point.

I'm pretty sure he was joking. Edit: SteveDiggle beat me to it.

Given the amount of pant wetting that has gone on I'm not surprised that they have stopped trying to predict when the deal will be complete. When there's any news they'll tell us.

I was encouraged by the fact that the possibility of Faddy signing was mentioned in the McManus interview on MFCTV. If there had been any negative developments yesterday I don't think they'd have mentioned it and would have just stuck to the positives of the McManus signing.

I'm hoping the announcement's being intentionally held back until this afternoon to try to give tonight's attendance a wee boost. All seems a bit quiet though.

MFC Official has confirmed on Facebook that Scott McDonald is not in Alicante. Only 2 unsigned players are Faddy and a trialist defender.

The same wee bald prick of a linesman who does the Rangers Legends games. Cheating scumbag.

That's why I didn't pay my subscription this year. The discounts are pretty worthless if you live a bit further away.

As far as I'm aware your membership rights stay the same whether you pay your yearly subscription or not.

I'd rather have Bobby Ball.

Agree with the point about Twitter but the rest is a lot of pish.

More like Karl Robinson has been told he's out the running and is trying to save face with MK Dons fans.

I think most would accept that there are reasons why it would appeal. However IMO if you look at the bigger picture it's an absolutely ridiculous move.

Add in that there could be a court battle over who owns the stadium and training complex, there's a dirty tricks campaign in the boardroom in progress, there could be administration on the horizon etc etc and it's even less appealing.

For the benefit of your career you surely choose the one where you can improve yourself rather than the one where you'll deteriorate (Black, Shiels, Sandaza, Templeton, Wallace...)?

IMO we've done alright as £130,000 is better than SFA that we'd have got if McCall hadn't signed a new contract. I'm looking forward to the speculation over who the new manager will be.

Hope he plays as well for Rangers as he did for us against them.

Or it could be that Sheffield United still have other candidates to speak to. Edit: too slow!

I think the club have confirmed that permission has been given to speak to him. 50/50 chance of him going IMO.
