The late point at Tannadice in January. To that moment we had been going downhill from a great start. From that moment we never really looked back. But for a phenomenal end to the season by Utd we would have had 3rd place in the bag long ago. If Utd had taken 3 points that day the end of the season would have been even more squeaky.

We should have won that about 11-1!

I remember him going on an incredible run in a game, I think against Rangers where he did three or four Ronaldo type stepovers in a row. Very out of character. Might be wrong about the opposition...

£1m + is totally viable. Every season ticket holder at the entry level is £1.1m. Of course, not everyone can do that, but some can and will buy the higher priced options. Chuck in just a few 1886 members and it's easy to see how this works. You don't have to do it by March, do it when you can or spread the cost as descibed above. If we all get together and participate at the level or in the way we can afford, this works.

I can't really contribute as I have only seen the games at home.

A couple of guys who were on the brink of the Scotland squad before leaving Fir Park to "advance their careers" - Fraser Wishart and Scott Howie (really).

Well done to the Club for this. Maybe this is a wee experiment for us as well - if the gate is much bigger than usual I'm sure the reduced gate prices will be a large reason for it, which might send a message about the high gate prices commonly seen.

A bit surprised McMillan isn't getting more of a mention. A cracking player who was getting better and better before he went to Wigan and then had to retire because of injury. If Lee McCulloch (who went with him) became a Premiership player then Studs would certainly have made it.

I agree we should keep the bears but get them to do more. Sammy the Tammy is/was a crap looking mascot but he was usually entertaining. If you want to focus on a Matchday experience for kids:- 1. Kids snackboxes in the pie stall, (or alternatively don't run out of hotdogs as the first half ends); 2. Kids matchday magazine. Why I buy an 8 year old the programme I have no idea; 3. The opportunity to get on the park by way of competitions, lucky dips, etc 4. Promote the Clart & Amber club more. I've 2 kids who go to just about every home game on their Season Tickets. Never heard from the Claret & Amber Club. Kids just want to feel part of it.

It's amazing how many on here not only are not surprised that Reynolds is apparently struggling at Sheff Wed but were telling us all for the last three years that he was pish. I must have missed the "Reynolds must go" campaign.

At the end of the Burns Supper in the Centenary on Friday night I went to get my coat to find someone had taken it, I'm sure by mistake. It's a grey overcoat and there was a similar one left at the end of the night. Problem is my keys were in the pocket. If anyone lifted it by mistake could you please contact Wendy or Diane at FP. Thanks.

I don't think it particularly matters who contacted who first. If it was Brown (and remember he absolutely denied this last week), then Aberdeen still induced the breach of contract by discussing the prospect of a job with them. What they should have done is say, ok we want to talk to you Mr Brown, but we need to speak to Motherwell first. Clearly they didn't do that.

I had posted this elsewhere, but I think it is relevant to this thread: This is the SPL Rule on tapping up: Employees Contracts H3 No Club shall directly or indirectly induce or attempt to induce any employee of another Club to terminate a contract of employment with that other Club (whether or not by breach of that contract) or directly or indirectly approach any such employee with a view to offering employment without the consent of that other Club. For the purpose of this Rule H3, "Club" means a member club of the SFA. £10 to whoever can find the word "written" in there. Is there really any argument that Brown and Knox were employees? We paid them, they turned up for work, on his pension forms Brown would put MFC under "employer" and they resigned. You can't resign if you are not employed. Either the press are deliberately misunderstanding this or are genuinely thick. The argument here is not about compensation. It is about tapping up.

Brown is off his head if he thinks this is a good move. It's easy to forget that before we gave him the job he was hardly the respected elder statesman of Scottish football than he seemed to become. We gave him a chance to regain some respect, he did that, and then has gone and made a total arse of himself.
