  1. I've got 2 student tickets available if anyone's interested? Unfortunately I'm unable to make it
  2. I don't think that's what he was laughing at
  3. Wiki says josh plays right back and midfield: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Law That's the limit to my knowledge on the guy.
  4. Can someone clear up what happened on their second penalty? I couldn't see well as I was in the Cooper stand, but even watching the highlights, there wasn't anything different to every other football game in the world in these situations (that I could see)
  5. All SPL clubs are in the same situation in terms of TV revenue and all that, so I'd say that we don't desperately need new players as financial safety is job one. I can see a couple of teams being on the verge of administration with the number of signings they have made. So that being said, maybe 3rd or 4th is a possibility this season; I'd say thr 4 games in Europe is all we can hope for.
  6. I'm surprised at the overwhelming "no" here. I agree that rangers deserved to be punnished heavily, but there is so much to take into account. Losing Rangers will definitely lower the standard of football in the SPL, we will lose money from TV rights and gate reciepts from games against rangers. We already struggle to compete financially with some of the lower leagues in England; if our budget was lowered even further then we would end up competing with the likes of the conference teams or welsh and irish teams. We could also suffer in the future as our youth system would lose some of its funding. It could then contribute to a lower quality of football in Scotland and may lead to the SPL losing european spots later. This will only lower our income even more leading to even further cuts in the future causing a snowball effect leading to a very poor quality league. I think it may be possible to keep the integrity of the Scottish game AND allow rangers newco to be in the SPL, they just need to get punished in another way that won't screw over Motherwell and the other SPL teams. Heavy points deductions over several years or something like that? I understand that people want rangers to be punbished like everyone else, but the fact of the matter is that right now, we rely on the money from Rangers and removing them will inevitebly negatively affect Motherwell Footbasll Club, whom I love I only want the best for us and motherwell
  7. I completely agree with everything you said.
  8. Yeah, well he is okay, as I said, but he plays very much like a midfielder covering at right back.
  9. With Motherwell's tight wage budget it would be crazy to sign another central midfielder. We already have Las and Jenno, who are playering very well together this season. We also have Hateley. We also signed Daley to be back up for our strikers as apparently he can play anywhere up front (although I have only seen him play on thew wing). If we were to sign one player I would hope it was a natural right back, which we don't have in our team at the moment. Hateley is doing okay there, but he isn't the best right back
  10. I'm a little gutted, thought we would be getting some live games on MFC-TV, but it's not mentioned
  11. That's probably what the last guy thought....!
  12. Yeah, I have to agree with all the comments. I voted for Randolph as he seemed to be the only player who played in the second half/ One question though, who voted for Forbes?! Come on, own up!!
  13. I think it is clear we need some more creativity in midfield. We are still missing JOB in my opinion and need someone who can create something from the left for our strikers
  14. In reference to a possible player to sponsor: Shaun Hutchinson would get my vote. Definitely the best of the players with a home strip available
  15. £10 sent, cheers mate Forgot to add my name, but it's in my email address, so hope that's cool
  16. He had a great season last year & made very few mistakes. He was apparently suffering from an illness at the end of the season (around the hibs game) & he did make a couple of errors, but a good manager should see that he is a quality player with a good head on him for a young guy. I would be surprised if we got no offers for him, but whether we would get in excess of £1million, I doubt it.
  17. I think it's more when his contract runs out than Brown giving any sort of deadlines Are you talking about the same McCormack? Lazy and skilful are not adjectives I would use to describe the old Alan McCormack.
  18. Am I the only one who kind of misses the sandy look? I was starting to grow fond of our wee personal take on home football.....
  19. awesome! Shame I couldn't post that mock up shirt, it was legendary!
  20. I was hoping we would get a design from some of the world cup tops, something like this? Thought they were pretty cool! Any thoughts?
  21. ---------------------Ruddy----------------------- Saunders-----Hutchinson-----Reynolds-----Hammell ---------------Coke--------Jennings-------------- Humphrey----------------------------------O'Brien --------------------Murphy----------------------- -------------------Jutkiewicz--------------------- I don't know about the fitness of Hutch or Humphrey, or slane, obviously. If Hutch can't make it, I would have Hateley at right back and Saunders in the middle. The team spirit will be lifted with Gannon gone and Brown and Knox in place so I can see us getting a win here. 2-1 maybe
