Knèe jerk to 7 - 0, 6 - 0, and 7 - 2? Where does this level of delusion come from?

Where's the money burrows?

You are very witty. For a four year old.

Just the usual pull a guy from non-league football and throw him to the wolves routine that we are getting good at. Who in their right mind thinks that conference players can step up against teams like Aberdeen from one week to the next? Mental stuff.

Yes the 3 - 5 Rangers game. What a game to witness, that one. RIP Roger.

Don't worry about it, we'll have five games against bottom six teams after the split.

Yeh, correct. That's another issue. Ask Burrows where the £250 grand is. It's down to him. Where's the money, Burrows? The money that would have allowed you to sign Bowman on July 1st and given him a full pre-season?

Recent results, Andy? The last 12 months have seen us take two 7 goal and ond six goal humiliations. We're now at a point where a mere 5-0 is regarded as acceptable. WTF. Come on. We are talking about taking LIFETIME BAD RESULTS in the same year.

I'm wasting my time on this website. Way too many halfwit fan boys. Burrows cost you £250,000 when he let Robbie Leitch go free. Lasley embarrassed the club by moaning about his £450 basic wage offer, comparing it yo a taxi drivers wage. Any of you so called connected fans can go ask Burrows - Where's the Leitch money? Why did Lasley cancel out on his charity engagements last summer? The club has taken you for wankers all year and you are too thick to see it. Get McGhee and Burrows to fuck. Now.

Settle down why, ya madman? Cos I'm pointing out I've been right all year? What a fucking embarrassment Lasley was the other night, and that wasn't the first time this season.

If me being right is an indicator of how woeful this management decision was, then you are correct. A mere taxi driving prick like me could see the disasyer awaiting our club, as you would have it. Which is pitiful, as we are now taking more sore skelpings under McGhee than I can remember at any time in 42 years as a Well fan. Lets make it tasty, Eddie. I used the profit from being a tsxi driver to start a business that alowed me to travel the world and retire at 43. Ask the mods on this forum to track my IP addresses. They know exactly who I am according to Superward. Excellent. I'm exactly the kind of guy you don't call a prick to his face if you like the idea of having your face look the same way the next morning. You are the kind of big mouth coward that hides behind your IP. Since May last year, I have beat this drum. You are watching the St Mirrenification of MFC at the hands of Alan Burrows and Mark McGhee. The true pricks on this forum are those that can't see it. Over to you, Mr Hard Man.

Looks like I'm being proved right again. McManus, Lasley, Samson and Hammell - what an embarrassment. McFadden a waste of a footballing contract. For all you demented muppets that went ballistic when I said none should have been offered a contract last summer, go fuck yourselves. We are heading for relegation.

Leitch after falling out with McLean. How many players have been on our books during the time frame represented by the guys you mention? Would that be 300? 400? 500? Since Andy Walker? Ffs - is it a thousand? Amazing success rate there, eh?

So retro, what are you, stupid? I knew Derek befote he played with Motherwell. I was at that debut Celtic game. Scottish juniot teams are the equivalent of conference league. Lets sort it out in the way that a five year old can understand, in the case of Bowman. Guy plays for junior team. Guy is signed by a professional team at midnight August 31. Guy does not have a professional pre-season. Guy is put on the pitch v teams like Celtic who are competing in the Champions League. Every other team is fielding seasoned profesdionals. Guy is out of his depth. Total wank Motherwell fans go ape cos he ain't up to speed. Total wanks like you can't understand the basic point. Yes, we can recruit and nurture from the conference. No, we can't sign guys one day from the juniors one day ( like Derek ) and expect them to compete against Celtic the next. It's a complete and utter fucking absurdity and failure of club management.

And is it a shock to you that the Scottish game is faster the non-league? Think about it, we as a professional club are signing players from a psuedo amatuer league. I knew players who played with Stevenage, now a league club. Anyone thinking the non-league Stevenage where on a par with Motherwell is DELUDED. These are guys who could not believe they were on a grand a week. The support set up was controlled by amatuers and guys not qualified for the professional game. NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE PROFESSIONAL GAME. If we are going to recruit from that pool - we have to give these guys specialist training and development programmes. Then comes the Dougie Arnott argument: 1. Name one other player in your lifetime that moved from Scottish junior leagues to Motherwell and made it. Derek Wheldon at Motherwell? Thrown to the wolves. Ravenscraig night shift one night, playing v Celtic the next. What a fucking player Derek was at junior level. Our club destroyed him. In later days he had a motorcycle accident and was a quadraplegic. He died in his forties. The club wasn't to blame for the accident, but some of our modern day fans need to know how desperate we were in the 1980's that we went to Shotts Bon Accord on a Friday to be able to field a team against CELTIC on the Saturday. This stupidity from the club has to end. These junior players, and conference league is the equivalent of junior level, need more support. The idea of sign on August 31 then play SPL days later is a farce and disgrace. And a message for each and every one of you critising Bowman. Our club has fucked him. Through a lack of support and management, we have fucked him.

I find it hard to believe that a non-league player such as Bowman is fit for first team action without a professional pre-season. Beating the signing deadline by minutes in the summer window, then being in the first team squad days later, is a laughable failure of management. If Bowman fails at Fir Park it's down to our club and management for throwing him to the wolves. If we are going to pursue non-league players we must give them a full pre-season. If they sign too late, they need to be put through a tailored pre-season before being included in the first team squad ( emergency excepted ). It's not our role as a club to destroy players confidence. And it's not the role of the fans to be so fucking judgemental when it boils down to a failure by our club to nurture and develop players. On a separate issue, my first view of Blyth was that he had the coordination of a new born giraffe. I wonder if the club would consider allowing our sports scientists to view players before signing them ( maybe we do, don't know ). I get the impression the first time our sports medics see a player is when he turns up for a medical. Once again, so 1970's.

Thanks for that and I agree with your assessment. It seems staggering to me that we couldn't field two strikers on Saturday. God forbid that either or Moult/McDonald get injured on the run in. Toothless with one down, relegation material if we lose both. After three transfer windows McGhee has delivered us an coterie of ancient, unproven, and not fit for purpose players. You'd struggle to name six players from that squad that would get a pass mark for their contribution this season.

How many first team squad players do we have now?

Burrows represents the club ethic. This notion of handing full control to a manager is so 1970's. No serious professional top level club now adopts that attitude. That's cos they've been stung too many times by managers mistakes, and lumbered with contracts years after the manager was sacked. Who in their right mind thought it was a great plan to go into this season with so many ancient and broken players.

Burrows is more culpable than McGhee. He sanctioned the signings at one point of 8 players aged 32 and over in our squad. They can both go together.

As far as I can see, Laing is still at the club. How big is our first team squad just now, twenty-seven players?

Not fair on Bowman, being signed without having a professional pre-season on deadline day. He was thrown to the wolves. If we are going to get signing players from that level, the first thing the club should do is drive them through a thirty day tailored pre-season, and only put them into the first team squad in an emergency during that time.

No thinking straight yet Andy after that defeat yesterday, Rangers in the cup has a lot of history and yesterday was another chapter. That defeat yesterday was as bad as it gets for me personally. Goes way back tae 1976......

Really? Pm me on FB ya witless fuck. Lets see how smart the "guy who knows who I am," is in real life.

Oh be quiet. You now have your name on a wall in a school for poor kids in South East Asia and this is your classless reaction. Wank. Anyway, happy new year to all steelmenonline members from Thailand.
