Former Motherwell Fc Players Thread

It’s been a strange one at Scunthorpe this year. They’ve gotten used to finishing in the playoffs year on year and oddly sacked their manager at the end of August.

They’d lost 4 or 5 key players to the championship leaving McCall with very little opportunity to make any signings of his own and a small squad at the end of the window.

He signed a lot of players in January with a big claim that they’d push on to challenge for the playoffs. None of them have really made a difference and inconsistency has pulled McCall into the tightest relegation dogfight in years.

Going into the weekend, Scunthorpe were amongst 13 teams who could be in a relegation spot come 5pm. McCall lost a must win against Rochdale yesterday whilst key rivals won leaving Scunthorpe only 2 points away from relegation. 

It’s hardly a surprise he’s been sacked but I think it was the wrong gig in the first instance.

I honestly thought Ross Forbes was going to go on to great things.

He had a bit of something about him, could really strike a ball and good vision, but was nowhere near good enough to get away with his lack of any physical attributes. If you could put his ability into an athlete you’d have a player.

Let's be honest he wasn't very good and was never going to be a top player, but that said he has probably made a decent living from football,

John Ruddy might be heading for the FA cup final with Wolves, they are hanging on a bit but currently 2-1 up against Watford

What a chance to become an FA cup legend, he was a baw hair from getting something on that penalty!

After seeing Paul Slane on Si Ferry's podcast and YouTube a few times I can't help but feel a little sorry for him. He absolutely fucked his career and he knows it, seems to really love the game and you can see it kills him that it's ended up the way it has for him. He's still totally off his head though.

why feel sorry for him he opportunities and money given to him that 90% of the working population would kill for.

Because he seems like he's now suffering the consequences of decisions he made when he was a young daft laddie, something I can identify with.

Kipre sent off v Leeds after only 13 minutes. 

Handball on line. Not seen replay. 

Shame

 

Clear(ish) red. Then Leeds missed the pen, went a goal ahead a few mins later and 10-man Wigan came back to win the game. So I guess you could say he took one for the team.

(EDIT: just saw the highlights and wasn't easy to tell if it was deliberate handball or not).

Saw Craig Clay helping Leyton Orient push back to league football, sitting top of  the National League 2 points clear of Salford and 3 clear of Solihull Moors with  2 games to go.........and they are away to  The Moors  on Monday......big game

He also has the FA Trophy final at Wembley  to look forward against Flyde.....so could be playing against Francis-Angol 

Flyde are also in the National league playoffs
