On BBC or MFCTV? Just watching his MFCTV interview now, and he does sound fairly pissed off, bemoaning our "faffing around in good positions" etc. Although he also says if the players don't perform on Saturday he's going to have make changes, suggesting he's not planning to make many beforehand, and also that "doesn't know what the answer is" to our performances at Ibrox, which isn't terribly encouraging either...

At roughly this stage in Tommy McLean's Motherwell managerial career, crowds were gathering outside Fir Park shouting for his resignation.

I don't doubt our ability to nick a goal or even two, but they've been scoring for fun at Ibrox all season, and that's a good habit to be in regardless of the level of opposition. I don't think it'll finish 0-0 after 90 mins, that's for sure.

You can't be a great before you've even decided to extend your first contract, IMHO.

The season started?

Express claims we're on the case re extending McCall's contract… distinct lack of direct quotes, mind you. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/347092

They're certainly struggling away from home, and I'd rate our chances against them at Fir Park. Unfortunately, despite a couple of brief embarrassments, they've gubbed everyone at Ibrox, scoring 17 goals in 4 games. Their squad might be low-to-middling SPL quality at best at the moment, but Motherwell are hardly bankers against any low-to-middling SPL team, home or away.

Realistic? Aye. Likely? Naw.

Not going to vote as I only watched on a stuttery stream, but if I was I'd give it to Ojamaa for giving us the spark we needed for the comeback.

Yup. If he changes his mind, then I'd probably still take him, on our terms. But we're far from being in a desperate enough position to go chasing folk who've already said 'no'.

That reminds me, the FIFA 13 demo is released today… must download it to see how it compares to the PES demo

Well, at least not until we're 3-0 up with 5 minutes to go. Although there'll be no Rangers fans left to see them then anyway.

Yep, looks like him. We quite often used to get his comps because my dad worked with his dad

Scottish Brewers?

I expect they are, but you'd never know it from the way we usually play against Rangers.

Partly, I'm sure, because they always thought we were h**s without the bus fare as well, so can't understand why we voted to boot them out (especially while we had one of their own as a manager). Bless.

It was, but it didn't help that he fell Tom Daley style, intentionally or otherwise. If you're going to fall, fall ugly -- far more likely to get the decision!

I have no doubt we've been looking. But unbelievable as it may seem to us, not everybody wants to play for Motherwell, on Motherwell's terms.

Missed tonight's action due to getting slightly pickled in Dublin, but have to agree the biggest disappointment is failing to score in four games. Never expected to progress in either tournament, but that's a bit depressing.

I wouldn't bet on it, they haven't been able to get a working network connection to upload the interviews etc. they've done already.

You should have your feckin phone switched aff then

Here's a direct link to that bit.

Hope so mate… I suspect your success rate will depend on whether you have to recover from your credit card company or from PayPal. If you have to go through the latter's dispute resolution process, it could get messy.

If he turns out half as well as the last young midfielder I remember having a torrid first start against St Mirren, he'll do fine.

Hopefully he'll be too busy trying to do a bit of business on the transfer market for the next week or so.
