  1. In my opinion he still couldn't do that when he left.

  2. Decided to give this game a miss now due to being fleeced. It'll be interesting to see how the crowd is affected by this opportunistic, greedy and targeted hike in prices. Although I'm luckier than most in that I'm an age concession its the principle of this move rather than the cost. In order to compensate for the loss of revenue incurred by every Well fan deciding not to go it'll take 5 who go, to pay for it. Its a personal decision and each to their own. Instead I'll make a donation to the Well Society, so that our club and not Accies will benefit.

  4. I always head over for the derby and haven’t missed one since Accies return to the top flight. However I am seriously considering giving this a miss due to cost, the fact we are shite and the plastic pitch. The only reason I will potentially attend is the fact I might not make another game until early October due to holidays and weddings. I also can’t believe people are actually wanting us to go back to 3-5-2. The football we played in the formation was utterly abysmal and I don’t think we have the personnel to change. If anything a 4-4-2 with two strikers up top. Scott and Long for me at the moment. But would leave us short in midfield.

  5. While I agree with you, there are some instances where there are both tell-tale signs that a player is out of his depth and a history of him not cutting the mustard at similar levels in the past. I personally know a Bradford season ticket holder who told me the day after we signed Seedorf that he was a terrible footballer. I think he played something like 10 games for them, and my friend said he was "incredibly quick over distance, can get off the mark like a bullet, but isn't a footballer." His opinion is that Seedorf is more of a runner than a footballer, saying that "his control is terrible, his crossing is shambolic, and he isn't made for the physical aspect of the British game." Those quotes come from a text that I was sent the day after he signed. He also said he wasn't all that impressed by Devante Cole at Bradford either, claiming that he's "rubbish." Now, I know we can't really look solely at what a player has done in the past to make up an opinion on them, but I have to ask, what exactly is Robinson and his management team basing their assessments on before they sign these guys? Do they have them watched by our scouts? Cole played something like 16 games for Burton Albion last season, while Seedorf played nine games in the Spanish 3rd tier. At least Hylton and Sloth have been playing games regularly, so theoretically our management team could have actually seen them. But the other two? Especially Seedorf? I don't know where the information could come from to sign them.

  6. While I agree, there have been occasional outbreaks of football on the Rugby park surface. I think part of the problem at NDP is that Hamilton have a great ability to drag teams down to their level, particularly on that surface. Whilst I love seeing a healthy Motherwell travelling support as I’m sure do the team. I hope the Motherwell fans vote with their feet and there’s a noticeable drop in the attendance as a result of trying to squeeze a few extra quid out of us. At least it will avoid the farcical queues to get in and folk spending the first 20 minutes being ushered into a full stand before the gazebo opens.

  7. I think an element of the Rangers support have taken issue with Butcher as he said in his autobiography and has said in his interviews since that he is ashamed/embarrassed at getting sucked into the sectarianism when he was at Ibrox. I’d applaud him for it.

  8. Accies centre backs will put him in their back pockets he is just not big enough to play through the middle himself and he can't hold the ball up

  11. The media team have rightly received great credit in recent years but fan engagement doesn’t appear to be at the centre of the current model. I appreciate I’ll be in the minority but I’ve enjoyed watching the coverage of the u20s since Erwin and Moore were banging them in. Highlights supplemented with interviews from JJ and Craigan offered an insight into the progress of likely prospects waiting to come through. Such was the engagement, it prompted me to head along to the odd game if it fell on a day off. Erwin, Moore, Cadden, Thomas, Campbell and Turnbull were much talked about before breaking into the 1st team. Now beyond Semple (primarily due to the hype at u16 level) and possibly Cornelius through word of mouth, I’m very much in the dark about who’s next in line to make an impression in the first team. The greatest insight on youth development this year was courtesy of the mfc podcast interview with Mo Ross.

  12. I’ve never hated an ex player and a club captain so much than Tom Boyd. If I had my way he would never be allowed back into Fir Park ever again. That may sound harsh, but it’s how I feel.

  13. Well, that will do wonders for team spirit! Something that has served us well in recent years. Sure, some of the new signings are not playing well and appear short of fitness. So do several of the established players. But, hey, let’s only blame the new boys and single them out in public. If Steve Robinson has an issue with players, old or new, he should be addressing it behind closed doors. Voicing criticism publically (no matter how valid) seldom ends well. Wonder how he would react if players or his Board criticised his questionable tactics or team selection in such a manner?

  14. Recruitment for clubs at our level is getting more and more difficult. Money is everything in football. There are players who would rather sit in stand, than play for us on peanuts. The guys we sign are all punts, and need time to adjust. To many are quick to bin them or give them a chance. Yet, the guys that have apparently not been replaced, were punts as well. Football management is not easy. The guys shouting for sackings, are never going to be happy. Todate we have only been beaten by city clubs on much bigger resources. Yes, there are issues within our team, but we need to give them time and our support.
