Oh dear. Hilarious though.

I think this is getting blown out of proportion. The EPL have a never ending supply of youngsters who have shown potential but may or may not make it in professional football. The most complimentary thing that Gannon has said about this potential signing target is that he's "decent". If it wasn't for the EPL tag we wouldny all be having this big orgy just now would we?

Tandem ejaculation.

Commentator came in his y-fronts. As did I.

Well done to Emily. From what I've heard Arsenal have one of the best setups for ladies football in Europe and are the most succesful club in England by a mile. Getting signed for them is a massive achievement. Don't lose faith in that wee idea yet. Here's a wee story that might interest you.

I seem to remember that, don't know if was last minute or not. Did the draw not guarrantee us premier league safety?

Wow, yer right. What a game, Dolan saved quite a few good shots anaw. Wonder if there are highlights online anywhere? Edit - found it http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category...5813846yGQwgq63

Our defence is a big leaky fanny at the moment (much like last season, and the one before that, and the one........) however we seem to be on the edge of working out how to score a lot of goals. I think the season might involve a lot of scoring one more than the opposition. I know that might seem like stating to the obvious but you know what I mean. No idea how this game will pan out but for the reasons stated above I expect there it will be at least another 4 goal game. Maybe another 2-2?

I've not had the pleasure of witnessing many last minute winners however this thread got me thinking about one of the pishest and most boring games of fitba I've been to. Motherwell - Raith Rovers at Fir Park, absolutely freezin December in 1996, it was pourin with rain, about 40 folk there, don't think the ball went near either penalty box for the entire match due to the non stop mistakes, not a single shot on goal till about the 92nd minute when jobbies.

Craigan doesn't seem like the kind of player to take comments to heart however it will be interesting to see if he responds and adapts on the pitch where it matters. Gannon has after all had 3 very public digs at his leadership qualities and his footballing ability and I can imagine he'll have a point to prove.

All very true but it's a sad fact that it's fan loyalty that allows them to do so. Attempting to overcharge in other area of revenue i.e advertising, tv deals, player transfers etc won't work because clubs would get told to piss off however the fans can always be overcharged. I'm not neccessarily saying clubs are taking advantage because, as you point out, it's neccessity, not greed that makes them do so. It's just a depressing situation for all involved. Plaudits to John Boyle trying to redress the balance a little.

It's hard to say whether he is or isn't. He's one of the more experienced guys there and we don't know what kind of relationship he has with the rest of the team.

Yip, in the second half they were allowed to pass the ball all the way up to our box before challenges were going in. St Johnstone just took this chance to fire unchallenged crosses in from anywhere and put us under pressure.That said, it did look like we were playing a 4-2-4 half the time so obviously that was a compromise gannon thought was neccessary.

A lot of money but you will probably see Motherwell charge similar prices when they come to Fir Park. Fan's are well and truly out-priced in this country, especially considering Football isn't exactly a sport followed by the wealthy.

Does anyone know if the Alba coverage will be streamed online anywhere? I'm working till 3 the morra so don't know whether to try dingy the result in the hope I find it online later or listen to the radio after work.

I understand what yer saying and here's hoping you are right. The players have shown the capability to play well individually and as a team so is it safe to say consistancy is now the key to a good season? I don't mean consistantly pish by the way.

I'm the same, maybe it's because we've seen glimpses of an outstanding Motherwell team and if that's the norm then we'll be in for a very good season indeed. That said, if the first half against Steaua was us punching well above our weight then it might be a season similar to last. There is a lot of optimism and buzz just now and Saturday will be our first true taste of how the season might pan out.

An explanation of his comment might make folk be a bit more understanding, especially considering it was quite a strong attack on his personality.

Skippy?

Bit o' both. Just wondering what people thought they made of this forum, whether it was visited and whether anyone had inside info or suspicions on users. You raise points anyway, eventually they won't really care what goes on here because it is nothing but opinion after all. Misinformed opinion half the time anaw.

No much to talk about soooo.... Do you think any players post on this board? Don't even know if they would read it much but I think temptation might sink in now and then, just to see what fans make of their performance. Must be pretty bleak reading at times for some folk. Mibbe they realise the amount of shite that gets spouted on here so stay clear, or mibbe they canny help sign up to defend themselves or other players? I dunno.... who's who????

Aye, too right. Even a couple of good seasons with us and he will be on the radar for a lot of bigger clubs. A much better idea than playing for the Celtic reserves every week and getting no exposure whatsoever.

Unfortunately for some players the training field is the only chance they will really get. That's the time to impress the manager and if they can't do the business there then Gannons hardly going to expect them to miracioulously improve just because they are going into a competitive game. I quite like both players and think they have the ability to fit into a motherwell team. Maybe just not this one.

Do explain...
