One more in defence and Riku Danzaki and Im quite happy. Love a midfield enforcer as well but cant be too greedy.

Jim O'Brien just scored for Notts County.
I had to Google to check it was the same one.
Turns out he's only 35, I'd swear he'd have been pushing 40 by now!

I love the idea. I cannot stand fluorescent kits. So I'm conflicted on this one.
I wonder if the kit design came first, or the tagline, "out from the darkness into the light"...whatever, great idea from the club.
I'm not sure a full claret one would have worked, the club are trying to get people talking.
All claret, or any other variations of our traditional colours wouldn't have the same impact as this design.
I can see why they've went for it to be honest.

If I was a player from down south with a few options including Motherwell, i'd be looking at Kelly's comments and the situation with the manager and be thinking "do I want to subject my family, my parents, my kids to reading abuse directed at me and my team mates on Twitter or social media any time we don't play well or lose? Or even worse, have them sitting in the main stand to watch me play only to see grown adults hanging over the side of the stadium to hurl abuse as we leave the field?"
I say this as a non-Twitterer and a very infrequent reader of other teams social media channels, but I would very much doubt what you describe above is unique to Motherwell fans.

I’ve always been an advocate of Big Yogi, love his enthusiasm and how he gets his teams to play, his ICT side latterly were excellent to watch. His most recent gigs at Raith and Dunfermline have tarnished his CV, however may be symptomatic of the state the clubs were in when he joined rather than his capability. Robbo is a hard no, he’s had his time, Kevin Thomson may be too much of a leap, in a fantasy universe I’d love Marcelo Bielsa but, hey,…
Big Yogi would bring in a team of "guid honest laddies"...

Thank god fans don't pick managers, some of the shouts on here are just ridiculous and wild. In fact almost every single one mentioned so far. Some on here are definitely on the sauce celebrating GA going by the nick of these suggestions
I assume most to be of a sarcastic nature...

Are we using GA's tombola to draw names for the next manager...?
Jeez...I got Roy Keane...

I didn’t mean he would be out of a job, I don’t think there’s any chance of him being sacked fwiw, I meant that he has 6 days to fix both or we are out of Europe in a very embarrassing way.
Sorry, I completely missed your point there Gazzy.

Or we could do what we did last season, and stumble along spending most of our time in the top six before eventually securing 5th and European football.
Yes, we could, absolutely.
But I've been a Motherwell fan for far too long to be that optimistic.

Alexander has 6 days to fix both.
There seems to be a massive assumption that GA will be shown the door come Thursday if we don't turn this around.
Tbh I'd like to see that as much as most on here, however I really dont think it's as clear cut as that, given that he's been given cash to spend - (wisely, or unwisely, well that is another debate!) - and that, apart from his own contract, we'd also very likely need to pay up his whole backroom staff also, as I'd doubt any new guy coming in would want to work with the previous regime that they'd be trying to turn round.
Unfortunately, I can see us this season stumbling along, constantly looking over the precipice of the relegation / play-off spots, until such times as necessity dictates a change.

Now I know what answer will be from most folk but would Griffiths on say a 3 month deal be worth trying?
Normally you end one of your jokes with "lol" or "badaboom" grizzly...maybe want to edit your post?

Must be great being a football manager.
You serve up any kinda sustained level beyond mediocrity and you're generally lauded and get renewed contracts, whilst knowing the inevitable downturn isn't all that far away, which will ultimately end in the sack, seeing yet more 000's being thrust into the pension pot.
At every level too.
Mourinho has done fuck all for ten year, but every sacking coins in millions, the guy's not giving a fuck, he's like Scrooge McDuck, swimming pool filled with money, earned from failure after failure.
I'm guessing the Wagu fillets must've been out the night that "the manager formally known as Grezza", went home and told the misses about that new deal...!!

If he is still in charge come st mirren game ( which I expect he will be) then he needs a performance big time because anything less in front of a very hostile home support that have had enough must surely be the end for him. Yes will cost money bur just made a £3 million profit and to be honest club will lose more money keeping him on as I expect season ticket sales to drop. Cash is tight for all of us and prospect to pay over £300 minimum for season ticket to watch that style really is a tough call. Yes some may disagree but as a fan going to games for 45 years then I feel I am entitled to my own view..COYW
No shit joke to end on, Christ, things are worse than we feared!?!

That's exactly what he said. As I said in a previous post, he just says the same rubbish in every interview after the game. He really is clueless. He is just another in a long list of failed managers who never looks at the lower Scottish divisions but is happy to sign crap players from crap English clubs.
To be fair, he did sign Shields...whichever way that supports or detracts from your argument...

Keep the heid folks, I'm confident we can scrape together 2 or 3 points between now and the season's end to keep us at least 10th.
I don't think it is necessarily the survival aspect that most have issue with, albeit it is priority.
I personally don't think we will end up anywhere near being at risk for this season.
But what for next year?
We've signed players this year on longer term contracts with a view to trying to get away from our normal 6, 12 month short term deals.
Slattery and Tierney for two, who look more than capable for our level / league and they're no longer getting a look in.
Who's going to want to come to us this summer to play under him, with promises of a platform to build your career, only to watch the ball being blootered 40 feet over your head, then you're inexplicably dropped to to the bench for 3 months.
He's had plenty money to spend, more than any manager in recent times.
There's no excuse for us to be in the predicament we are in.
As others have said, he doesn't even know his best team / formation 15 months after bring here.
It's an utter shambles!

I've seen this trend term crop up a lot in the past few days. Where has it come from?
Graeme Alexander's method of selecting his weekly outfield 10 players!

Sorry this is "Hans Christian Anderson" territory. These fans who won't travel to England, won't suddenly pitch up at Fir Park, Tynecastle, Rugby Park or wherever.
The "Hans Christian Anderson" territory for me is the chat about the OF joining the EPL.
I'm 48 years old and this topic has been around most, if not all, of my adult life, if not even longer.
It simply isn't going to happen for reasons that have been discussed ad nauseam.

Don't mean to be a pedantic arsehole, but at the risk of being a pedantic arsehole, the title of the thread has this game as 19th February.
Sorry, carry on...

Anyone thinking VAR is going to be the epiphany of Scottish football should only need to watch Match Of The Day or Sky Sports to see the arguments and discussions who still can't agree what's what, even with the VAR stills on screen.
At the end of the day, the final decision still lies with the same incompetent referee to make the call, only assisted by some slow-mo and stills.
I doubt very much VAR would have made the slightest bit of difference in Collum's mind yesterday afternoon, in the first incident, not knowing a second was so close in occurring.

Alexander out. Be the bigger man burrows and admit you make a james blunt of the contract extension and get shot of him before we are away to Arbroath in the play offs
I'm no GA fan, but having won 5 in 30, there's no way St. Johnstone are picking up 4 wins from 8 games left, with us not picking up a single point.

St Mirren v Motherwell 28/01/23
in Club Chat
Posted
The MD at work is a huge St. Mirren fan and has invited me along Saturday for some hospitality dinner and drinks before and after the game.
It is usually a good day out, but will need to go some to beat the Tom Hateley "top bins" free kick afternoon when I jumped up and went mental, much to the dismay and annoyance of the mainly elderly St. Mirren supporting supporters, and indeed my MD 🤣🤪
