To be fair, that was mentioned many times when people were moaning about him getting the job for the second time, and I doubt even the most anti-McGhee crowd would disagree with you. But the cold reality is that you ultimately have to assess football managers based on things like results, leadership qualities and working with the club on a clear plan for the future, not on how well they might handle one of the most awful and unlikely things that could ever happen.

One of his jobs is to keep an eye on what the ref can't see and keep separate records to make sure the ref doesn't do something like cautioning the wrong player. So at least that never happens any more...

Well, not in the way it used to be. You can make one-off payments any time you like now instead, whether or not you've signed up for monthly payments.

Though if we throw away a 2-0 lead with 5 minutes left of the 90 this time, everyone will probably be a bit upset...

'On the other hand, for lack of confirmation too, it seems that Nadir Çiftçi has not signed with #Motherwell."

Some would say we've been requiring one for quite some time...

He's just scored though, so that's always something.

And folk wonder why we'd only sold 800 tickets...

Whether we get him or not, nice to se us taking the 'unsettling transfer talk before a big game' initiative for once http://bbc.in/2jflwi

For better or for worse, there's far less at stake for us this weekend than there was in the playoff. Our recent cup record and the live TV coverage is hardly likely to encourage any fair weather fans along either.

FIFA's definition of simulation includes "feigning injury", so in theory it's possible to be legitimately fouled and still get booked for simulation. Unfortunately, if the single camera the BBC had at the game is the only evidence available, there's probably no point... you can see hee haw on that.

I don't think any of us are asking him to be neutral... just to remember in the heat of the moment that it's his job to tell us what's happening, rather than us having to figure it out from how loud he's shouting. I'm also very glad that somebody does it at all, but unfortunately he hasn't really improved much over the years.

Your wish is McGhee's command.

Plus, of course, computers only do what folk tell them to. No reason it couldn't be told to have a swatch at Google Maps and come up with some better suggestions in the first place.

Pretty much what 'Flow said in his interview after the game last night:

According to the online commentary, we'd actually been practising our shooting...

Only downside really is that if, as in this case, it turns out to be a waste of time for the player himself, potentially hindering his development, then it might put a damper on any other deals or negotiations between the two clubs in future.

To be fair, I saw them ask on Twitter very recently for people to get in touch if they hadn't received the email they'd recently sent out, and the event has been publicised both there and on the society's Facebook page. I appreciate that's not much use if you don't use either of those services, but equally it's hard for them to get in touch any other way if they don't have the right details for you.

Pretty much what one or two on here have said, too. I dare say we'll find out eventually.

Didn't notice a topic about this, but the new fan engagement manager has launched a fan survey. Details and link at http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2016/11/17/survey-my-club-my-views/

If I recall, the "effort" on the Phil O'Donnell stand, if you're referring to the metallic sculpture bit, was made in collaboration with his family and includes certain elements that had a special meaning to Phil that they didn't want to publicly discuss. Which, to be honest, seems more important than what the rest of us think about it.

Only if his first name wasn't Fred.

As the article said, if it means just one 10 year old coming to a game asking their dad (or okay, more likely their grandad) about who John Hunter was, then it helps to keep that remarkable part of our history alive. The regulars will still call it the East anyway, so hard to see how it has any downsides really.

Not before time.

I don't doubt it was over from what everyone is saying, but you certainly can't tell from that.
