The Jim Gannon Memorial Trophy

 

An award just for fun in its second year to recognise outstanding achievement in scouting and recognising footballing talent (Moutaouakil). It recognises those who have either the foresight or an inside scoop.

 

If a player is nominated and they sign for the club then that person will receive 5 points in the inaugural Jim Gannon Memorial Trophy. 2 points if they are mentioned in conjunction with us and decide to go elsewhere, -1 for erroneous nonsense. Open to other suggestions for scoring.

 

Leaderboard:

5 - Well 4 Europe

5 - Squirrelhumper (Tim Clancy)

5 - Dazzer (Omar Bradley)

4 - TAM (Nicky Law in 2010/11 thread, and Higdon in this thread 1 day after Al B)

4 - Al B (Higdon in the 'Sutton is Away' thread)

2 - Brazilian (Nicky Law in this thread)

2 - MattSTFC (Jon Taylor)

-1 - StipeIsGod (Lee Griffiths)

In first to say:

 

David Clarkson on Loan

Chris Porter on a free

Alan McCormack

Jim Paterson

[LadywellToi 2]

A fear there has to be a bit of substance to them being added other than being ex-players.

 

However if you've read or heard anything I'll add them.

[thisGRAEME 934]

None whatsoever. They'll be linked though, probably with no more fact in it than what I've provided.

[Gaag 198]

 

 

 

You love an in and outs thread

[Steve Diggle 657]

Somebody mentioned the lad Neil from Hackies - I think that's a fair shout so whoever said that first on t'uther thread should get credit for a possible good shout.

[Yoshi-1991 216]

murphy to be sold

[johnstone 758]

I have heard a rumour from a decent source that Stephen Hughes might be on his way back......

i wish

[Cakes 143]

Do we really need a periodically updated list of who plays for Motherwell?

if we were able to keep hold of jenno then i wouldnt bother taking hughes back.

[Yoshi-1991 216]

Jim Paterson

 

why would anyone want him back?

[David 601]

I quite like the idea of being able to see who we've signed, although I wouldn't bother with the rumours section.

 

We'll be linked to shitloads of players between now & August, and I probably won't pay attention to 99% of the rumours.

[thisGRAEME 934]

Fuck knows, but he's out of contract so someone will say it.

 

Heard the Hughes thing a couple of times as well. I'd take him.

Something to talk about though

[Waldo 120]

McAllister(?) from Brechin has already been touted and

some fella, Grella, from Leeds

[David 601]

Something to talk about though

Aye, I don't mind talking about them. I'm talking about the section in the first post that lists players we're rumoured to be going for.

[maplewell 29]

That i agree with, dont think we need a list of the players some idiots on here link us with

Strikes me as a bit pointless. If someone signs, they usually get a thread to themselves anyway.

I'll get my tissues.

i did hear us aberdeen and st johnstone were looking at mcallister but hes meant to have quite a well paid job as well as playing for brechin so it would maybe take something like a 3 year deal to make it worth his while.i dont know if he would cope in the spl so i think a long term deal would be a bit risky

I have heard a rumour from a few different people well and rangers fans that mr mccall is heading to ibrox in the summer to be part of mccoists coaching team

I doubt it but I'm sure the Club wouldn't be raging at the compensation that would be required. Rangers are currently rooked. No way they will shell out cash for a number two or three.

Where did you hear that?

 

I was told by a few Celtic-supporting mates that this rumour was invented as a cheapshot at us after Rangers beat us 5-0 last week.

 

Maybe it's made it's way onto the various Celtic forums and grown from there?

Heard he was offered it before us but chose manager instead of assisting
