  1. Absolutely agree with that. I was thinking today that it should be classed in the same category as a restricted view ticket. Have a plastic pitch if you like, but you can't charge full price for a ticket as you're restricting the product fans are paying to watch.
  2. I've never really waded in on the whole plastic pitch thing before, but it's getting beyond a joke. Not even blaming it for us not being great today, it just makes games shite to watch overall.
  3. Never in any doubt, although i'd always be nice to Gaz in the hope he takes me with him next time he's playing in a Vegas poker tourney.
  4. I was standing on the terrace that day in the middle of my first ever hangover, so it might not even have been Buff
  5. Shaun Teale didn't sign for us until the following year, but I seem to remember Brian Martin having a howler that day.
  6. Imagine making a wee mistake when making a quick 2 min check of a website to try and answer someones question eh...outrageous stuff indeed. My profound apologies, it would appear cup games are included in his numbers. Makes a HUGE change to how he's done.
  7. Win ratio of 43.24% from 111 games, bettered only in recent times by Craig Brown (45.14 from 35 games), and Stuart McCall (45.89% from 146 games). League games only, i'd imagine including cup games would take him above both of them as he's reached the final of 50% of the cup competitions he's presided over. He's also one of only 7 Motherwell managers in history whose sides scored more than they conceded over the course of their reign, and one of only 7 whose sides won more games than they lost over their reign. So aye, Robinson oot.
  8. We should be fully supporting anything the club can do to eliminate the weirdos that are grown adults wearing football tops at any time other than playing 5's or going to a game. Not allowing these people to buy one before their holiday has clearly been decided at board level, and should be applauded.
  9. Incorrect The Well Society could still exist if there were no fans. It wouldnt be very successful, but that doesn't change what it is. People who think they part-own the club in any sort of issue-specific way, are ones for the watching
  10. Buzzing for this...surely reaping the rewards soon! #DT23
  11. What do we do when the senior players that we hope to renew, demand 3k a week as well because they know we have 3 guys being paid that? Just direct the calls to you aye? And if we find out one of those players isn't cutting it and we're stuck paying them 3k a week for 3 years to sit on the bench, will you post again and tell us what to do?
  12. That away top is absolutely beautiful!
  13. Also highlights another reason why Celtic assumed they could low-ball his wages and still have Liam and John Paul advise it was a good idea...
  14. What, you mean he's not going to Celtic? Imagine that, ya bunch of presumptuous prematurely perma-raging tits. Season ticket back on again then aye?
  15. That's all that's happened, and it's happened with several clubs. If Celtic are the only one that have gone with the first set of answers...what do people want us to do? Say "no because its you"? Respond to the initial question with "well how much are you willing to pay"? Absolutely mental stuff.
  16. Not saying he won't end up going there, but a number of clubs have contacted us and asked what it would take to buy him, and each have been told a figure. Celtic appear to have been the first to come back and say "okay then". Again I'm not saying that he won't end up at Parkhead, but it clearly says a fee has been agreed, not a deal. We could agree a fee with any number of clubs, and then the player looks at them all and decides where he wants to go.
  17. And they never had Michael Higdon.
  18. Around 3m from Hull, pluss around 800k from a 10% sell-on.
  19. The same amateurs that are both publicly and within the game, the envy of clubs all over the UK? Let me assure you, these "amateurs" are the reason we still have a club at all right now, let alone one that is sustainable and profitable. Just wait and see where we go in the next few years, all thanks to the current regime.
  20. You are far too good for this forum. Get over to P&B tout de suite.
  21. Saints won't be thinking that, but Saints fans might be. They aren't the same thing, and I presume that's O40Y is getting at. It's like when someone says something like "We're definitely going to lose today", and someone replies with "thinking like that we're as well just giving them the points". Mate, I'm not playing...it makes no difference what I think.
