Goggles & Flippers

He's their best player, however if the fee they get allows them to bring in a couple (or more) new faces, who knows they could be gems and they then have a bit of strength in depth and options. We've managed to bring unfancied in on the cheap and they've done well and made the team stronger .... Clancy, Gunning, Jennings, Coke However I doubt they could add enough quality and offer more strength than when our injuries return to the fold. It's starting to look like a straight shoot out between us and St Mirren to play the currants.

We'll never know which direction the club would have went if Boyle hadn't came in. In his tenure we've had the lions share of our Euro outings, finished best of the rest quite a few times and never dropped out the top league. Yes he got caught up in the moment but so did a lot of clubs.

Simple thing is, don't give him the opportunity to make a decision by being clever and everyone's happy. This thread is a knee jerk reaction similar to quite a lot of stuff on here recently.

Headline: Boyle looking to bum fags shocker .......

We could sell the naming rights to a posh welly company ..... 2 birds, one stone

It's yerseelllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!

I hope a few who have been too quick to post disparaging remarks against a number of people Andrew tributes may take note going forward. If an outlet for anger is required, direct it accordingly.

Do they though? A tradesman generally deals with tools and other inanimate objects. A change of tac with a power drill or a quite word on the side with a bit of 2" x 4" won't get a reaction, however when you're dealing with people then there's a good chance you will. Therefore not a fair analogy.

Looks like a friendly journo at the BBC has un-muddied the waters. Henrik's own statement suggested an extension wasn't on offer, turns out we tried to get him permanently. BBC

Nacho Novo has been told to PFO by Rangers from Murray Park due to his support of a fans group. Offer him training facilities .... thoughts?

48 ..... Didn't Lawless get a start with us?

Useless with names, could you do it like the last day of school favourite Guess Who next time?

What some are failing to recognise is that talented 16-25 year olds are being pursued by the other 100 professional clubs in the UK. A lot can offer more money and a lot will be more attractive prospect than potentially being in a dogfight as that breeds a different style of play not conducive to development (only could add a degree of mental robustness). A lot of us would sign for Motherwell because of affinity but some guy from Brechin or Scunthorpe doesn't have the same motivations. Baraclough's remit must have been, get us to the end of the season intact and then you can tinker and dabble in the summer. Saturday showed he's slowly having an effect.

Sadly Andy mine was more on the money. Bugger it!

English is evidently your strongpoint where Maths isn't by the looks of it. If we do lose the next 4 games those won't seal our fate, it will be the preceding 20, however regardless I don't agree with you if we do.

How we perform against Ross County and St Mirren will determine our season, if we lose the next 4 as is the premise of this thread doesn't mean the season is over and relegation is assured. All three teams will get the odd result against the other 9 in the league here and there. Just typical thread from Dewell.

What the line up? Twardzik Reid - Ramsden - McManus - Watt Kerr - Carswell - Law - Pearson Sutton - Erwin

I didn't realise they weren't mutually exclusive.

That's no different to most of our current squad at present. If he's put in a shift whenever he's been in C&A then he would have reason to feel the criticism is unjustified. I've seen glimpses of foresight and 2 seconds ahead of play you need in that midfield to forward link. However whither he doesn't have the legs, feels its not his responsibility or apathy, he hasn't offered much in the way of protection or grit in winning the ball back. Maybe he would elsewhere, when anyone moves on they see it as a chance to start afresh.

New procedures trialed in Switzerland allow the grafting of a first touch and ability.

You should handle our transfers Ramsden out for £500k to English Championship side. Darren Fletcher in on loan because LVG has always had a soft spot for us. Job done!

That'll clear some to boo from when the teams come out until the final whistle. Yeah he was a fanny as a young boy, most of us would look back and say the same of ourselves. If he has fight about him and shows a number of the current team up then it will be a success. Look forward to the usual suspects showing up on here to cover their arses so in 4 months they can say "told you so".

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the snooker tables. Issue for me was it was like sitting in someone's basement, always expected to see a door swing open and have a guy in leather with a gimp mask on.

As I said in the shoutbox, social attitudes and behaviour has changed, there's no way enough revenue can come in over 5 hours every fortnight and from £5 an hour from a snooker table for the club to come close to even give it a thought. Sorry to see a host of people lose their livelihood but market forces brought about it's downfall.

I'm sure he does, but our precarious financial situation may require us to lose a wage before handing one out. That's based on: 1./ Players he doesn't fancy wanting to leave rather than see out their contract 2./ Another team being interested and when few in our squad are performing it doesn't make them an overly attractive prospect I'm sure his aim is to get to mid May, retain SPFL status and rebuild then when he has scope. I think our best bet is to get players on loan with their parent clubs happy just for them to get game time rather than us covering a percentage of their salary. But then again there's probably 50 clubs throughout the UK looking for the same thing.
