Goggles & Flippers

Just goes to show sarcasm doesn't work without a whistling smiley

Yeah and he won YPOTY playing in midfield in his first season. I think you are confusing worst ever with taking bad career advice

not literal, being overly pedantic or a smart arse, must come with that red text beside your name 3-3-4 formation + can't get more than 20 names per question + "Midfielders 3 from both" included in first question + dealing with adults = happy result

And my comment was directed at ScottW not you daver

I was limited to 20 options per question, if anyone has any ways round about it then please share, otherwise any complaints can be made to IP Board.

Interesting to see who was slagging him off weeyin, bet the same person has got a voodoo of Vigurs out and smearing shite on it due to his recent form.

I thought the instructions were pretty clear. Sorry about Ruby, I don't think his inclusion in the defenders would have made much difference though.

He was another doubler, one of the issues of going through over 100 posts and copy and pasting them into one document.

As before, they are in rough alphabetical order .... ish Remember pick 4 in total from both sections not 4 in each.

I had to split the midfielders as you can only have 20 options per question so spread your three votes through both

So, here we are at the vote, I'll do the midfield and forwards shortly. Thought based on the weighting it would be best to go for a 3-3-4, so please vote accordingly, limit your votes to the correct amount per section. If a moderator could merge this with the original thread I'd be obliged, I couldn't introduce a poll. Obviously a lot of votes will be influenced by when you started attending FP.

So all identified except for this lot, any help appreciated. Angeand Paul Shepstone Derek Murray Jamie Doyle

nobody inclined to go through the list I compiled and help me? no? bunch of wideo's .....

Well rather than have a go, give me a hand FFS

Anyone want to help with that list please?

What is it they say about twitter, at its best 5 minutes after something happens and at its worst for the 12 hours immediately after that. Me thinks this forum can be the same. Let calm down and see what comes out over time rather than second guessing and conjecture. Also I would be eternally indebted to the Bois if they had a stunt planned for Parkhead, I recall Rangers showed up to a match after part of the roof fell off and everyone had a yellow builders helmet on, genius.

So I've went through over 100 posts and compiled a list, some my be in the wrong position heading, some I need clarification on position, first names, etc. so any help appreciated. Just put a "D", "M" or a "F" beside the name. NB It took me ages GOALKEEPERS: Colin Meldrum John Gardiner Stevie Woods Mikko Kaven John Fallon Cammy Duncan DEFENDERS: Karl Ready AlanAndy Sneddon? (is this someone getting it wrong or are they two separate players?) Jamie Doyle Franz Resch Sasa Curcic Said Chiba Ange Oueifio Alex Burns Gary Bollan Yassin Moutouakil Jonsson Greg Denham Danny Murphy Bobby Donnelly Gary Bollan Eddie Forrest MIDFIELDERS: Chic McClelland Alan Mackin John Muir Gordon "Night" Mair Derek 'Ruby' Murray Paul Keegan Trevor Molloy John Davies Roberto Martinez Trevor Molloy Bob Malcom Eddie May Andy Dow Alex Spark Davie Shanks Pat Gardner Sam Goodwin Alan Gow FORWARDS: Calum Elliot Derek Townsley Davide Ferrerre Andy Roddie John Hendrie Omar Daly Kevin Christie Esteban Casagolda Michael McGlinchy Callum Elliot Paul Keegan Roy Essandoh Richard Offiong Stephen Halliday CAN'T REMEMBER'S/BLANKED FROM MY MIND/BEFORE MY TIME Neil Tarrant Kevin McBride Brian Kerr Robert Maaskant Tony Thomas Angeand Graeme Miller Gunni Jonssen Nysonnen Davie Shanks Jim Gillespie John Reilly Gregor Stevens Alex Kennedy Paul Shepstone Neil Candlish Derek Murray Shaun Fagan Tony Vaughan Robert Clark Derek Weldon Kevin McDonald Paul Wilson Khaled Kemas Jim Gillespie Mike Larnach Stevie Nicholas Jamie Fairlie Greg Millar Jason Dair Jamie Doyle Joni Lehtonen Elroy Kromheer Mario Dorner Abel Thermeus Franck Bernhard Graeme Smith Jan Michels Rob Matthaei

When there's a big enough list, I'll group them into defenders, midfielders and strikers and we could run a poll, two votes per section will give the definitive shitelist Does Gow get a second?

At least 3 in there who do your post no credit. Law for one, you trying to tell me if you got a phonecall from a headhunter and offered a job with 4x your salary you'd take it? He signed a two year deal, it was up to the club to punt him after 12-18 months, however we didn't and them's the breaks. Lee McCulloch did no wrong when he was here however I suspect his inclusion in your list is because he signed for Rangers after Wigan? If so, get a grip! Bob McHugh is far from being included, he's struggled to get any consistency in the team but has popped up with important goals (Aberdeen when he robbed their left back 40 yards out couple of years back)

Were you at the game ............... Back to the team, maybe endemic of our support but this thread has already reached 26 posts while the best XI is still on 10, goes to show we like a good moan. Based on the argument, lets go with Malpas as boss as he's proved he's considered an able No.2 as he keeps getting a gig and get Harri in as his Assistant. K-------------Gardiner------------------ DF-------------Donnelly----------------- MF--------J. Davies---------------------- WG------------------------------Roddie- ST------Offiong---Casagolda-------- Fraser Sneddon Jonsson Reach Kinnaird Cosgrove Mair Halliday Murphy Keegan Molloy Christie May McSkimming Moutaouakil Happy to put any of the above in the team, Eddie May has had two shouts as has Christie

I'll happily accept that pair. So at present we've got: GK-----------Fraser------------ DF-------------------------------- MF-------J. Davies------------ WG--------------------Roddie- ST---------Casagolda--------

Based on Joewarksfanclub's Best Well team you've witnessed that's based on Off the Ball's Hamilton XI from today. With the help of this list below, anyone want to add some choice duds to make up a woeful line-up you have witnessed? List of Motherwell Players I'm going to opt for Andy Roddie (it was a toss up between him and Derek Townsley) and John Davies (Billy's bro) as the first two into the team.

Randolph Mio/Burley - McCart - Martin - McKinnon Jennings - Lambert - Law McFadden Coyne Cooper Ruddy Skippy McCormack Phil Kaiser Kirky Dougie (This may help rekindle memories)

Just another few of the shitehawks according to you, does it really matter who? Yet again, good bit of business, from them, may it continue.

Maybe because you'd be inclined to shift the goalposts and not declare everything if you were in a position to do so, doesn't mean those at the club feel the same. Its a big call to make to either countenance or promote behaviour such as that when as the senior management team and board members are personally liable for any legal redress, to what put an extra £25k in the coffers every year. Wisen up. As for the attendances issue. We have a core, elements of that core has diminished over the past few years as the general apathy with Scottish football has encroached. Many of my mates who held season tickets have put their £300 towards golf memberships, increased their sky package or just put it in their hippy. The issue we have and I don't think its Motherwell in general its the whole of Scottish football. Commercial departments focus too much on signage, corporate meals and boxes, sponsorship and program ads. Yes these are a significant revenue stream but I feel they are prioritised over bums on seats. 1,000 extra per match results in approximately £300k per season (or 4 first team players), I'm sure I've read before that Derek Weir suggested that this would take us from touch and go, to living comfortably. So what do we do about it? Well if you've lapsed you may get a letter through the post reminding you or a half hearted call. Mind you it's 1,000 calls to return the same money as 100 would from non-ticket related sales. We've not capitalised on our success' of late on the park, I think its safe to say we've got a decent 2,000 fans that could be cajoled if they were engaged, we've seen the population of Motherwell/Wishaw/New Stevenson/Bellshill increase with all the new homes, what's been done to encourage them to consider Motherwell. Every visit those with kids make to a soft play place, swimming pool, etc. costs a fair bit of money (I don't know what Rainforest Adventure is, maybe someone can advise). To market to Dad's in particular, hey you can take up to 2 kids to the football 20 times a year, get them out the house for 3-3.5 hours, combined with a benefits scheme that results in the one ticket they would have to buy would be effectively free (by visiting McD's once a month, Pizza Hut, every 3) is overlooked as too many don't know about it. As for those without kids, the club engaging with them rather than just assuming their loyalty will be enough is no longer acceptable.
