Interesting. O'Neill is staying in charge of Norn Iron (as well as pursuing his Stoke duties) for the forthcoming Euro games against Holland and Germany, and any potential play-offs. (Stop sniggering at the back, boy.) So, there may not be a vacancy there for several months yet. (Allowing time for him to get sacked by Stoke and carry on across Boris' non-border as if Staffordshire never happened.)

Cedric says: "Show your hole to the Tattie-bowl".

Can't see Robinson taking an assistant post. It's a situation where you can lose your job because of the failings of the guy above you. O'Neill rejects Scotland but takes on the Stoke basket-case? I'm not sure what that says about Scotland.

Can't believe this guy's being touted for Fester Road. Cedric Talking Balls Jack Ross also said to be lining up talks with BOTH Edinburgh clubs. Am I the only one who can see the nasty outcome?

O'Neill appointment confirmed.

Perhaps not "which club will" but "which country will": according to the always-truthful-and-reliable source that is the "B"BC, Stoke have asked permission to speak to Norn Irlun boss Michael O'Neill. LINKY Robinson has made no secret of his wish for that job "at some point in time". Meanwhile, the Barcelona boss has been given the dreaded "vote of confidence".

And I would be wary of "manager-speak" too. How many here remember Jock Wallace, then manger of Leicester, saying he would only return to Scotland for the Rangers job?

Stating that you are wanting a high-profile, experienced manager is one thing; getting one / affording one is another. They would be better keeping their mouths shut as I expect both will end up having to accept somebody far from that description. In the name of Pettigrew, if Moyes isn't interested.......................

He'll surely always walk alone.

I'm new here but my fat human is well-known to anyone of a certain "mature dotage". He's helped me set up a BLOG so that I can prattle away quite happily without fear of offending Facebook or Twitter. As a Motherwell gnome I think I can say that there will be a lot of MFC content. And a lot of s***e. But, hey, nobody's perfect. Have a look - the intro will tell you what I'm up to regarding the MFCDSA. And don't forget to sign up for updates.

So now we have 2 potential things to concern us at Fester Road: (1) They haven't won since, whenever, which usually means.... (2) The "new manager bounce".

Who leaked our tactics for Sunday?

To a torrent of abuse, probably. Sectarian abuse? Right, game abandoned, 3-0 win for the Mighties. (Simples!)

My fat human refuses to go to the Tattiedome these days. The fact it is on the Sabbath with the accompanying public-travel hassles of that day to these distant parts means it is probably a dodgy stream for us. Really disappointed to miss the pre-match poppies, Last-Post, and minute's silence.

True, but somebody was looking for a link.

They all are.

Twisting and sprouting in the rain!

WTF defence?

Bartley? Big boy and not worth it.
