  1. Yeah, fair point… parody implies humour where that account is just nonsense!
  2. Someone pretending to be someone or something they are not… in this case, someone set up an account pretending to be the Daily Record and is posting made up stories.
  3. It's from a parody account - they acknowledge that themselves in the replies.
  4. As long as Butcher's here it's a non-starter for Siegriest. No love lost there these days....
  5. Also, if the emergency in the Cooper had occurred in the away end the access is massively impacted by the overcrowding.
  6. I'm told that the forced their way through a turnstile and then kicked open an emergency exit to allow a very large number of ticketless fans in. In doing so, a police officer was injured and an elderly steward was caught in the stampede and kicked in the jaw. So the stand was over occupied by quite a bit. This is not the first time they've done this, which begs the question as to why the club and police were not set up to deal with it. And also why the game was allowed to go ahead with such a safety issue. Add in the 3 pitch invasions, the usual theft of at least one match ball and bizarrely a corner flag and it's hard to fathom how they get away with all of this. The invasion by the Bois I felt was stupid, but I was also kind of glad they did this time. Any criticism can be put right back on to Brendan's defence of the incident at Livingston - which also encouraged the Celtic fans on Saturday as he'd effectively told them it was fine. The Motherwell fans were generally young boys, but the Celtic fans who confronted players and got as far as the half way line were grown men, some of whom looked old enough to be grandparents.
  7. The talk in Newcastle is that he's being retained to fulfill the Home Grown Quota within the squad... and that Karius, Darlow and Dubravka could all be departing the club this summer.
  8. On O'Donnell; Carrying a long term injury which needs surgery, and has been put off but it's now at the point where the surgery is essential. Which makes the decision to play him out of position with very little match sharpness even more baffling. He also rejected the chance to leave in January with his contract paid in full, preferring to stay and try and help the team out the mess we're in. Performances certainly not where they should be, but there's no doubting his commitment. Via a Motherwell friendly journalist....
  9. Cole was recalled by his parent club. Sloth released which wasn't a surprise to many. James Scott sold for a sizable fee, which I'm guessing is your complaint... He'd scored 3 goals this season so we were hardly losing a Moult or Higdon, as good as Scott was and as much potential as he had. Manzinga and MacIver are the market we operate in and the model we have to work with. Take a chance on young guys and try and sell them on for a profit. Some work out and some don't... MacIver played well last night and Manzinga is still developing. Tony Watt looks to be an improvement on the players we have and he'd fall into the January window category.
  10. The proverbial game of 2 halves last night. First half was absolutely abysmal, although the 3rd and 4th goals carried some fortune I felt. Hartley backing off his man and deflecting a decent save past Gillespies perhaps ended up with what it deserved though. Mugabe looked lost during the first half, however, he's surely got to have gone down with the head knock he obviously had rather than stagger about. The fact he's gone off immediately after the goal with an eye injury would suggest it was a head knock. Second half was like the alamo and while 2 of the goals were fortunate, that's what sustained pressure will get you. Aarons' goal might not be as lucky as we thought though, how many times do you see that type of goal scored by wingers putting the ball into a dangerous area? There were enough chances created to win it outright, although when we went 4-4 and St Mirren stopped defending quite so deep we looked vulnerable again, but we defended well. That type of defending in the first half would have been nice. The penalties are an annoyance, of the ten players left I'd have banked on Donnelly and Watt scoring for sure. The rest don't give me the impression of confident strikers of a ball. Hylton looked petrified as soon as he left the halfway line and the 2 step run up immediately gave concern. I'd have thought O'Hara and Manzinga might have been better options, even Tait as the captain at that point. The defence for the rest of the season is a worry. Hartley has looked increasingly off the pace since the Accies game for me, Mugabe looked steady enough at first but has quickly proven to be a bombscare. Hopefully Gallagher is over the illness quickly as his influence was blatantly evident last night. Tait will be in at left back if Carroll's injury is as bad as feared.
  11. Have a day off for fuck sake... I can only assume you are blaming Burrows and Robinson for the recent storms and the outbreak of the Corona Virus, everything else you lay at their door.
  12. IF he's found guilty then he has to go...
  13. How many of those clubs do we wish well? How many have players that we're hoping do well against us? We are Motherwell, nothing else is acceptable.
  14. Fuck wishing him good luck at Celtic. This is a club who have repeatedly cheated against us and criticised us several times over the last couple of seasons. Their fans will be gleefully sticking the knife in come August after he knocked back the EPL to join them and he'll be doing his best to ensure we get nothing from the game. Fuck Celtic and everyone connected with them.
