Only our second penalty this season I think. Ports missed one at the very start of the season at home. I think either the Aberdeen or Dundee United game.

If you were in Manchester last May I think yor membership guarantees you an alibi.

Conveniently no mention of the header 45 seconds in. Fair play, decent goal. Still a sit player.

Damn right. If we were to sign guys like Dougie Imrie or Ross Tokely, who have been suggested, it would be time for us to pack up and call it a day.

Thats how it looked to me, although hopefully there is a sell on clause. That could bag us a small fortune later on. Probably didn't get one put in though. All the best Chris. One of our best signings in a long time, hope to see you playing in the Premiership soon. He's been an absolute gent here and so many good memories. The 2 goals in the cup at Tynecastle, the Euro clincher against Aberdeen and the hat trick against Inverness. Edit: There's no way we'll get Giles Barnes, he's off to Fulham to replace Jimmy Bullard.

Not interested in this one at all. Still, he's a better option than Dougie Fuckin' Imrie.

No way! He's terrible. I'd rather have Saunders there as back-up than that clown. Can barely kick the way he's facing.

No, he was wearing the top in a team photo, taken just before or after a game if I remember it right. Like I said I doubt he was ever signed and perhaps the game he played in was just a one off or whatever, but the photo is out there somewhere and was definitely on these boards before the change over in December.

With the Shearer story, was it not reported and then confirmed by Shearer that when he played in a trial game or whatever they put him in goals, despite knowing he was a striker, and that was why they never signed him because he had a howler.

There was a picture up on the old forum Im sure of Fletcher in one of our youth teams. Don't think he was actually signed though.

Will be gutted to see him go. I'd much rather hold on to him til the summer and lose him for nothing, but that's probably just me being greedy. He's been superb for us, brought us some great memories and scored THE goal against Abedeento take us over the finish line fo Europe. Easily our best stike since Coyne, all the best big man. I just hope, if it is Sutton stepping in, that we don't turn into the long ball team we were earlier in the season when he was in the team.

Weren't both of them were Kampman signings?

Anyone not maybe think that as well as Craigan being out for long spells, that the fact Chris McCart isn't here this season might be playing a part. I know McCart was invlved in the youth development side, but I don't think there is any doubting that he was seen as part of a 3 man team. Considering he was the only defender on the coaching staff, perhaps not having him there for advice has affected Mark.

There is no way he was only 4 yards out. He was at least at the penalty spot. And as Al B pointed out the ball had spun up slightly too high for him to do much else with. I'm not sure if he would have been better trying to control it before putting it in, not sure if he had enough time for that.

Fitz scored a crackin' header last week, his first goal in about 3/4 years. Did anyone really expect him to score 2 weeks running?

It was a bad one, but not as bad as your trying to make out. It's not like it was a totally open goal, there was a defender on the line who, from some reason, he tried to lob with the header rather than put it to the side. Was it worse than Port's? It seemed to me his was much closer in, paractically on the line.

Don't think I'v ever seen a dirtier team than that Falkirk mob today. They were worse than Jeffries teams. They set out to kick us off the park and after the ref bottled sending off McBride they knew they had free reign to do what they liked to us. I hope some one jumps in one McBride like that next week and does some damage. McCann and Barr also deserve a doing from someone. Good display from us today especially Clarky, Ports, O'Brien, Klimpl and Hammell. The ref cost us the game. Fuck Falkirk...Wankers. I hope they get relegated after that performance.

That free kick for our second there was genius.

I'd agree with that. I don't see where they get all the praise from. Maybe it's because John Hughes is becoming the new media darling in the league taking over from John Lambie, purely because he always speaks his mind and i always good for a story? Anyway, anytime I've seen Falkirk at Fir Park they have been one of the worst teams I'v seen. Constant high balls upto the strikers and complete kick and rush football.

Even without reserve games we would have the option of sending them out on loan to get some games. I would be surprised if Fraser signing and Buzz re-signing, if he does, would mean the end for both the younger keepers. They are only 19/20 with minimal experience,I think it woul have been far too big a risk to ask either of them to replace Smith. A poor start to the season, 1 poor game or a doing of the OF would shatter their confidence and would do more damage than good for their development.

Is this the first ever player we have ever signed up on a pre-contract. I don't recall it happeining before in all the years since they started up.

Thats a bit harsh IMO. The covers, and most of the groundstaff, were borrowed from Aberdeen. As Aberden have a home game of their own to put on this week I'd imagine they would be keeping hold of all that this week to ensure they have their own house in order before making sure Inverurie are OK.

Definitely agree with that. Im only 23 so I was pretty young when I saw Cooper play, but I always remember my Uncle and my Dad telling me at the games how special he was and how much of a good thing he was for Motherwell and to have a player like that wear our shirt. Corrigan would definitely be in there. And maybe this is a generational one but I'd probably put Tommy Coyne in there. He is probably the best striker I have seen in a Motherwell shirt and his partnership with Dougie worked from the off an would be a hard one to top.

Yep, Porter for me too. We are far better team when he is playing. And probably the best striker we have had since Coyne? Hughes after that please. We are an even better team with Clarkson alongside Porter, but Porter will get by far the more votes as it's his contract thats up at the end of the season, whereas Clarky's was renewed last season.

Foran is now battling it out at Darlington. Saw him miss a penalty in a shoot out for them on Sky Sports News a few weeks ago. Not sure if he is only on loan to them though.
