Think it’s to do with not wanting both Welsh teams playing at home on the same day, might be similar to if rangers and Celtic were drawn at home at the same time but I’m only guessing.

So away in the 21st and home the 28th? Both games still a Thursday?

Yes, then penalty’s

We’re a selling club so when if they price ie right he’ll be away.

Check your maths, 293 / 54 = 5.4 so a goal every 5th or 6th game - unless you’ve missed typed your figures or my maths is worse than I thought. Not arguing with where he’s from but at least I’ll give him a chance. Maybe you should stop the head banging and save the brain cells

Doubt ‘a’ will happen and fear that ‘b’ would see him thinking he can say more than he should. Also seem to think that he got booked more for doing stupid things rather than saying stupid things, so his bookings might go up.

As funny today as the day she wrote it - some folk could learn about good jokes from her

Agree with the first part regarding the LB position but I do think the Shields has something to offer and we seen that last season. Efford not so much but he does deserve a chance to see if he improves. I read somewhere a few years ago, a manager saying that most players take 6 months to settle in at a new club before you can start to evaluate them.

Noted

An extended contract isn’t that great a barrier and I’m sure Morton wouldn’t be hard to deal with. Not saying that we should sign him, just thought that he would be an improvement and a potential money earner.

Lewis Strapp from Morton would be a no bad shout for LB, as I remember he tore our defence a new one when we played them last season. 22 or 23 years old so someone to develop and possibly sell on.

With the amount of time you have been here and the number of posts you’ve made, you should know to be very specific and not the slightest vague - tut, tut, tut.

Arthur Gnahoua, anyone heard that he’s reported to have signed?

Reports of David Turnbull being linked to a move to West Ham and that they’ve offered £9m while Celtic are holding out for £11m. Would be a great move for him and a great pay day for Motherwell if there is a reputed 10-20% sell on clause.

To be fair, back then the players time off was boozing, gambling and eating - generally getting unfit. Todays players appear to be more professional and keep a fitness regime through their time off so I’d think they would find the sand dunes a bit easier :))

Alternatively, Yoda might just be a wind up merchant and better ignored. As for your question on how we improve, as I’ve said before, this year we have a guaranteed extra income from Europe of between £400,000 going up to £1m depending on us reaching the knockout round so I think we should be looking at getting a couple of higher wage proven players with the potential to sell on, aim for the knockout round and at least we will have a more comfortable season with the chance of two good cup runs and a higher than 8th place finish which in turn should also generate extra income for next season.

I had checked out flying Edinburgh to Dublin on the Wednesday and returning on the Sunday (£60 return) with the idea of getting the Mrs to fly to Dublin on the Friday for weekend break. I’d also looked at getting a ferry from Holyhead to Dublin on the Friday incase we play Bala but luckily hadn’t booked anything.

I was being polite and letting him/her down gently, although the second one in the second post is ok but I think the sponsors logo would cover most of the C&A

That’s just about understandable after reading it twice:). I also don’t see anything about it being regions unless that’s done when they put them into groups of 10.

Think this would clash with Livingston

Appears we are looking at this guy Toyosi Olusanya along with StMirren & Livingston. 24 year old Striker/winger. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/sources-middlesbrough-set-to-sanction-player-exit-with-scottish-trio-in-pursuit/amp/

Did wonder when I seen it if it was the place we went when McGhee was the manager

Deserves it and should move up to the senior squad in the next season or two. He’s improved (or maybe just settled in) in the last six months and with our sports science team helping I’m sure he will get bigger and better next season.

Putting this here as I’m not sure where else to put it - and I don’t think it merits it’s own thread - but just seen on the bbc page about Scottish clubs players of the year that “Sean Goss is the clear choice of the fans”. Now I’m no expert - and I’ve not got anything again him - but I can’t recall many on here raving about him week in week out and I don’t think he won many of the player of the game polls on here. So wondering where they get that idea from - making it up as they go along or just having a laugh?

We all see thinks differently so no problems with your view, personally I think he could still make it and is a premiership player who, especially on our budget, could play a part without being on to high a wage, freeing up money for a more “classy” player. On Davis, I think him or a similar guy who can play a pass or drop a cross onto a running forward would be a great addition. I could see him setting Shields off on a run who could either try and finish himself or in turn set up KVV. He doesn’t have a sell on value but he could get us a good fee for others.
