Juan Kerse Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's funny but looking at that Midfield - O'Brien is our only chance of anything creative!! He is our main man in there, how many would have said that after his first couple of gemes!! Same with Clarky up front - our main man up top when most would have loaned him to Stenhousemuir a couple of seasons ago (me included)!!

another number Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 He's been alright in the few reserves games I managed to catch. I'm not saying he'd be an amazing team changing player, just that I think he deserves a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Are we gonna have a light blue away strip? Just saw the pic of the keeper with the goalie strip. That must have been what Flow was holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he'd be an amazing team changing player, just that I think he deserves a shout. Aye, McGhees 1st season Daz did well, as with Malpish's season. I think he deserves a chance, hes certainly fast, but he shites it too much from tackles, sort that out, and he could be a decent winger, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Darren Smith is a funny one. Doesn't seem to run like a footballer should, looks awkward. But the number of times he's come off the bench to score important goals, considering the number of appearances he's made, is phenomenal. His goal against Aberdeen at the end of last season will live long in the memory, if only for his sheer joy in celebration. Great sub to have. But never looks the same player when he starts a game...

Motherwell Football Club Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Think the boy is pish, despite that, he's probably the best finisher of the ball in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Trusco Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thats the first time I've watched the interview with Craggs and I have to say he's a top man! Heard him on other radio and TV's shows and he always speaks very well. Everything he said there was honest, articulate and well thought out. A real credit to our club and a refreshing change from some of the garbage McGhee spewed out in recent times. After 13 years service to the club and his recent efforts to help out during this transitional period I can safely say I will never give that guy stick again. One player I can definately say owes us nothing. A credit to the club and hopefully a future well manager. Sorry to go all Ice Rink on youz there by the way. Mon the Craggs!

Wellfan1984 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nah Ice Rink would not have said anything nice about Craigan He's a legend. I don't know if anyone caught Sportsound at the weekend? Well someone phoned and asked him would he be doing Open All Mics when Motherwell sack him as Manager. Unfortunately I missed what his answer was. Loved Open All Mics when he was on it, shame we lost almost every week though as he wasn't playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 'Flow Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 He did do it for the Accies home game though and was literally jumping up and down, punching the air sounding like some South American commentator when we took the lead. He had heads turning in the Press Box 'Mon the Crags... 'Flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'd say assuming no-one resigns before the start of the season we need: A goalkeeper A versatile defender A central midfielder A left winger A striker I reckon if we got those five in we would be able to compete, five signings would do me. We could put a bit of faith in the youth coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatcalf Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Can we go 'any man save'? Craigan as 'backsie', heard he had them playing 'Tippy Wanny' the day o'er at Braidhurst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Craigan as 'backsie', heard he had them playing 'Tippy Wanny' the day o'er at Braidhurst Quality!! btw, is that Motherwell patter? I used to call it that down 'Gow way but everyone called it 'Jimmy' ! Also heard it being called 'Combi' in Motherwell and imaginately enough, 'heeders and volleys' from folk I know from West Lothian. Best way to spend 5 hours in the summer with an old Mitre Calcio and three mates!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippy Wanny (one touch fitba' basically) is just what it was called I thought, didnae think it was called anything different. 'Combine' as we called it back then is called Combi noo by Oor Evan and his pals, that was different completely, that was your heiders and volleys game. What we're really needin' though is a few players tae go 'Cock or a Hen' tae make up oor numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't undertand the confusion about this. I had assumed a month or two ago, from their comments, that the three players in question were all offski ...end of.

weeyin Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 The confusion is that none of them said they were off. Only that they were open to offers (including offers from Motherwell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east stand loyal Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'd say the only player put the 3 we had a chance of retaining was McLean but it would appear no offer has been made, probably down to the fact we have no manager in place. Klimpls defo off as well. Quinn n Clarkson too perhaps? Theres yer backbone ripped right out. Doom n Gloom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
