At the age of 20, it's a bit of a stretch to say he's had a career at all, so far. I'd never criticise any footballer for wanting to go and make more money somewhere else if they think they're good enough, though... you never know which club's going to be your last. Although there are obviously good ways and not so good ways to communicate that desire to fans and media.

Surely not the "Motherwell, Motherwell, Go For Good Health Be A Winner as Well" effort that was churned out as part of our sponsorship deal...?

Would be ideal for me-- Sporting Fingal's stadium is about 20 mins from my house (Although I'm on holiday in Portugal for the first leg -- how pissed off would I be if we played them away first...)

Thought I read on the 'fishel that they expected the re-sown pitch would be ready for Europe, if we qualified.

You don't, yet... was only stirring up a bit more can-Puma-really-do-claret-and-amber paranoia 3-0, Europe here we come.

Finally sounds like there's actually a crowd there, too.

2-0, safe now?!

You've no' seen the new kit yet.

County have to go for it now... game should open right up.

Can't imagine why anyone would hate Dundee United to be honest! Have had many a good day out to Tannadeechee, and they were a great team to watch in the 80's (but unlike Aberdeen, their fans don't believe this still entitles them to be winning everything 20 years later). United have a long history of bottling it in finals, but I think (hope) they'll probably just scrape it.

Somebody mocked up that shirt in claret and amber (along with a few other current Puma templates) over on FirParkCorner.com, so you can have a swatch over there...

Aye, great... can't think of anything better than watching football in the company of thousands of sweaty English lager louts and sunbed-snatching Germans in tight Speedos

You could always acquire a sudden interest in Formula 1 -- qualifying live on BBC on Saturdays, racing live on BBC on Sundays, all through the summer. (But admittedly not every weekend.) Personally, I have loads of old stuff on the Sky+ and about 6 million DVDs still in their shrinkwrap that all need watching...

Fishel site has him on 9, although they said in the commentary yesterday that was his 10th.

Presumably because he knows it'll wind some folk up. Nowt wrong with that.

That's what annoyed me most about it, tbh... dunno if they both thought the other one was going to stick a foot in while Boyd had his back to goal, but couldn't believe neither of them did.

A fair assessment. Any season that starts with a European tie and ends with having something to play for up to the last minute of the last game has to go down as one to remember.

Think it would smack a bit of sour grapes for us to pursue that angle with the SPL. Fourth place has been in our own hands for weeks and we passed up the opportunity, simple as. Just need to dust ourselves down and try harder next season!

We've also scored 9 goals in our last two games and won neither of them. That must be some sort of record too!

As did the two defenders who were standing watching instead of sticking a foot in while he was holding off Saunders :/

Full Time.

Actually didn't mean you... I meant there's no point in Motherwell bleating to the SPL about it if they think United have bent the rules with their team selection. Would just look like sore losers.

True, but no point bleating about it. 4th spot has been entirely in our own hands right up to the last day of the season, nobody to blame but ourselves if we didn't grasp it.
