There's a big difference between "that will make things worse for you" and "I will make things worse for you", and it's the latter that's being alleged.

That part isn't necessarily bullying, as you say... though depending on the specifics, in most jobs it could be grounds for constructive dismissal. Allegedly being told he'll "make things worse for him if he stays" certainly would be.

Aye, remember it was the Crusaders game now as folk had been surprised he wasn't playing in NI. Even worse if she'd been due then mind you

I don't doubt it, but his wife must be in agony by now... didn't he miss the Darlington game because she was about to give birth as well?

That the rest of his season goes the way of David Ferrère's too...?

Mibbes a wee bit more work to do... https://securityheaders.com/?q=motherwellfc.co.uk&followRedirects=on

It's certainly an improvement. There are one or two odd design choices, like the huge amount of space at the bottom of the homepage that's being used to show half a dozen tiny logos, the hamburger menu on mobile being top right rather than the conventional top left, and also not going away until you make your browser window wider than 1280px, which seems too conservative. (My desktop browser windows are never that wide, but I still want the desktop experience... and most tablet users do too.) Obviously a lot of work and thought gone into it though, and things like the player profile pages look particularly smart.

No, but it's working fine here.

There is no remotely sensible way you can decide how many times better one player is than another, so I'm pretty sure nobody's using that to calculate transfer fees.

Yet another reason not to bother reading the papers.

All true, and none of it contradicting what I said. Some sponsors are our choice, some are foisted upon us. Of those we can choose, there are some we'd never go near, many we're happy to live with because of the money they're offering, and probably a handful whose hands we'd bite off.

Not really. One is our own choice that somewhat reflects our club values and will be plastered across all our media and merchandise for a year or two, and one isn't.

Then I look forward to seeing it in our new strip reveal photos...

Ross Forbes rejoins Dumbarton.

Between the pitch and the bottom of the steps, yes. The steps aren't going away though, afaik.

If nothing else, I'd guess there'll be some new advertising hoardings replacing the wall, on match days at least. (Thought they'd mentioned something about covering up the steps or something as well, but could be imagining that.) I only remember being in the enclosure a handful of times myself, but it's certainly a shame to lose another "old" part of the ground.

So you went to the BBC website, saw an article about Celtic by Tom Boyd, and thought "sounds good, better read that"... and you think Tom Boyd is the problem? It's really not that hard to avoid the stuff he or any of his Old Firm chums spout, especially when it's on a website.

Not desperately. Flair players tend to play better or worse depending on where their head's at that day, not what their pre-season was like.

The trouble is, there are generally two types of players who don't run about a lot: those who make their every touch count, and those who usually end up giving the ball away.

Although if I was getting paid 8 grand a week for doing nothing, I wouldn't be finding 90 minutes a day to train either.

Can we just refer folk back to the previous threads we have about this every other year? I'd wager most people still want the same thing they wanted last time

He did, but we also didn't have an abundance of fit, attacking alternatives around the fringes that could've been playing instead.
