    This might be unpopular on here, but I dont actually think Kelly is an international class goalkeeper. 

    And before we get into the semantics of what that actually means, I do think he is probably the best alternative to Gordon we have right now that is available for selection.

    For that reason alone, I agree he should at least have got the second half so his first cap isnt when he is being thrown in during a vital qualifier if Gordon is injured.

    But lets not kid ourselves. Kelly is a good shotstopper. But he isnt tall enough, doesnt command the 6 yard box and his distribution is rank. Very good keeper at our level and Im delighted to have him at Motherwell, but he is likely to be exposed playing for Scotland.

    Marshall (and dare I say McGregor) are still both better keepers so saying Stevie Clarke would bring Marshall back if he could shouldnt really be a surprise, I would too. But they have both retired, so on that basis Kelly should have got game time last night.

    I do hope for the national teams sake though, that Craig Gordon can go on for some time yet.

    Totally see where you coming from.  Kelly's height and distribution can work against him. What I don't understand is why if he is no.2 is Clarke isn't prepared to give him a game for experience. Gordon still no.1 which can't be argued against but he's nearly 40. Euros will be his last campaign

    Willie Hunter last inductee for this year. I have to say I did find that emotional as he was my Dad's hero when he followed the well home and away.  He would have been so chuffed to see Willie in Hall of Fame but would no doubt have said......should have happened years ago!! .lol

    I think Slattery need to loose a few pounds. His stamina and passing seems to have gone the wrong way. I’d be looking for more from him. I think Spittal and Cornelius could be interchanged so one gives it 100% then replace with the other as they start to tire. Midfield definitely needs to work harder. They seem to get caught in the middle not up supporting forwards or back helping defense. They need to up the work rate and just sub them as they tire. 
     

    or to be Grizzzly-esque. Flood the midfield and use our subs! 

    Good one

    Assuming the worst case scenario comes to pass, and based on recent selections, Hammy will probably still opt for one striker, most likely Shields, as Moult is most unlikely to start. Morris could well start. Hopefully though a young lad or two will get some game time depending on how things are going - even a couple of minutes would signal Hammy's commitment to youth.  

    Yep agree totally, whatever happened to young Spiers?

    Just watched him in the game against  Hamilton tonight, he's a  big unit, good on the ball and seems to be scoring lots for Ayr, so he might be worth a punt but depends on what sort of contract he is on and given he is their main goal threat Ayr won't want to lose him so might be difficult to deal with.

    Swap deal for Morris and Maguire....seemples

    It just sums Sellik up, even after disallowed goal you could hear fans claiming every decision.  They won the game but can't stop moaning about VAR yet not a peep about the songs that their fans sing or the Flare display before the match .....ahhhh I forgot.....it's that's special atmosphere that they bring.....aye right

    After disappointment of last night this might cheer you all up.  Heading back last night with my 2 mates and mates lad. Can't remember who I was talking about but I said they "weren't the brightest tool in the box"!!!, Think I got my sayings mixed up.   Reminiscent of Softie Philliben back in 1994 after Dundee utd cup tie saying it gives us "another crack at the cherry".  Heh he

    All our defeats have been by odd goal which doesn't make it any better but also we are not that far away.  I have been big critic but I would start shields through the middle as main striker, he ain't a winger so no point playing him there and KVV as lone striker is just not helping as hee haw work rate for him. if he's not fit then he shouldn't be starting. If things not going well bring him and Louis on for last half hour.

    Let's finish up for mini break on a high  COYW
