  1. Interesting to see from that MLS salary page that Andy Rose is on $193,500.04!
  2. Personally, I'll be gutted to see James Scott go. I think he will develop into one hell of a player. He just needs to start putting the ball in the net. I'd have preferred to see that at Motherwell. I think if he was still here when Turnbull returns, the goals will come.
  3. Would be happy with a draw. Gonna be bold though and go 2-1 Motherwell.
  4. I thought you were going to suggest Andre Gomes on loan...
  5. There's a massive BrewDog Brewery in Columbus.
  6. Yes please to Griffiths.
  7. I think most non OF fans are now accepting that you need to write off X amount of points a season due to incompetent refereeing. These things happen and you just need to gt on with it. I get annoyed each time, but basically, no one in Scottish Football cares enough to stop this from happening again. Scottish referees are so bad, the VAR machine would probably break...
  8. I think VAR is a good then when employed sensibly. Down South, they have chosen to employ in the way you say, which to me is wrong. The way VAR was used at the last World cup I thought on the whole was very good. A few contentious decisions, which were mainly down to opinions. If the PL used VAR to it's full extent, you wouldn't have seen any of the moans and grumbles you currently get. Some of the decisions that have gone against Aston Vila have been shocking.
  9. Who jumped before he had even kicked a ball for the 1st team...
  10. Aye, but we can stipulate as a fan owned club, everything is out in the open. Just always been a bug bear of mine, although insignificant in the scheme of things.
  11. I'm one of those fans who is fed up with Undesclosed fees. I want more trancparency for our fan owned club.
  12. Just to finish things off EDIT: alanos poll added...
  13. Celtic's attitude during the saga has been very direspectful at best. Magnificent Offer We move on Kennedy - We never sign players who are just after the money - More or less callung Turnbull a greedy bastid. AND Turnbull still apparently going to sign with them. The footballing world isn't half bizarre.
  14. I would like to assume that we have a sell on clause. It appears to have been our policy in recent years when it comes to selling our better players. If there is not a sell on clause, that would be a deviation from standard policy. I would like to think that appart from the upfront fee, we would make it a stipulation of any deal that we would insist on a sell on clause. Any other add ons is just gravy.
  15. Have read the thread form the moment the news broke. Have a few thoughts. My opinion is that we should keep him for at least another year. Yes, I know the talk of gentlemens agreement etc. Turnbull said himself when he signed a new contract that he had other offers. He wanted to play for Motherwell. Then there's talk of a gamble in not accepting Celtic's bid. Yes, he could get injures or have a loss of form. However, chances are he will be a better player next season, having had most of a season under his belt this year. The way we played since January has convinced me we could push for the top 6. if we keep our best players. Another argument is that we need the cash. We always need cash. That doesn't change. I know we have debts, but lets be honest, they are interest free and neither Boyle or Les are beating down the doors to get their cash back. I want to go to Fir Park and watch good football, especially if the talented players are homegrown. If we don't get a chance to watch then, what is the point? It's just subsisting at the most basic level. I know he's not away yet. I think he is too good for the SPFL. He should go abroad to a more technical league. He IS THAT good. The club always talk about being fan owned. If that is the case we deserve to know the full facts of the deal. For me, Undesclosed feels like a slap in the face. (Just my opinion). I agree that we would not be having this debate if the bid had come from anyone other than the old firm. However, If the club agreed to sell DT for a set fee and we have viable plans for the club, let's here them so that we can have a balanced view. I'm going for a lie down now.
  16. 100% agree. Don't sell him unless there is a loan back clause.
  17. No science to this what's so ever. Just looked at out of contract players and knocked this up. A lot of theses are almost certainly out of our price range, but may have a desire to return to Scotland or whatever. Just my thoughts. Thought it might encourage some debate...

  18. Fisher released by Yeovil. Ainsworth released by Plymouth.
  19. He seems to care. I tweeted one time about a reserve game. Nothing important. However, Maurice responded and gave me the facts. I was impressed anyway.
  20. As it stands, I'd say our team for next year is currently (based on signed players and everyone fit): Gillespie; Tait, Gallagher, Dunne, Carroll; Tanner, Grimshaw, Campbell, Turnbull, Polworth; Scott Subs: Carson, Maguire, Hartley, Livingstone, Fane, Semple, Johnson As for out of contract players, these are my thoughts on who will sign on again / be freed: Peter Morrison - Freed Tom Aldred - Away Christian Mbulu - 1 year deal Shaun Bowers - Freed Carl McHugh - Away Chris Cadden - 2 year deal Elliott Frear - Away Gboly Ariyibi - Back on Loan? Alejandro Rodriguez Gorrin - Away Shea Gordon - Freed Craig Tanner - 1 year deal Liam Brown - Freed Kyle McDonald - 1 year deal Broque Watson - Freed Curtis Main - Away George Newell - Freed Conor Sammon - Away Neil McLaughlin - Freed Thoughts?
  21. Just voted today. Went For Gillespie (Player) & Turnbull (Young Player).
  22. Stuart McKinstry looked good in setting up the goals. Is he deffo away to Leeds?
  23. Anyone know who the striker was that didn't appear after the other club 'pulled the plug'?
  24. My team: Carson Kipre Aldred Hartley Tait Dunne Cadden McHugh Campbelll Tanner Main
