Keep that up and you’ll get banned - there will be folk spitting out their morning coffee reading that

Heard in the pub tonight that Scott Leitch was appointed head of their academy about a month ago, started staff to get it going only for the owner to change his mind and shut it down this week, not sure how much of that is true but the Accies fan was totally pissed off with the club and said he won’t be back.

Remember a cup game there like that - wettest football day ever.

Have you checked that on google? Don’t want anyone getting upset that your figures are wrong.

Similarly me to

Your one crazy, stupid person, the euro’s £186M tonight - that’s where to blow the rest.

I’m struggling to find my all time greatest team from the players I’ve seen play but I find it incredible that so few who must have seen him have McAllister in their team. I’ve always compared Miller to him, at times, both could collect the ball and stroll through the midfield looking for a pass without bothering to look at the ball as they had total control of it.

Re SOD two of my mates don’t rate him but don’t give him abuse and every time he comes on i joke with them that they will be leaving as “he always gives away a goal “ - they’ve been awfully quiet the last few games regarding him in the pub afterwards as I talk up his passes, blocks etc. Love winding them up.

Could have reposted the full post but this definitely needs posted twice.

That’s a bit tough on Wilson, yes he’s not been at his best but I think he’ll be back.

Good to hear he’s back playing, best of luck to him.

Johnny K just edged out Emanuel in my book but mentions also for Slattery, Gordon and Watt. edit: just voted for Emanuel by mistake

I think he got a bad hamstring injury last December which required surgery, possibly not fully recovered yet. Feel really sorry for him with injuries.

I think the restrictions are on all OF games so I’d think it’s going to be due to increased pressure on the police at these games.

Sorry bud but I was being sarcastic thinking about the meltdown if they were given the Cooper stand again hence the emoji

Maybe we should go back to giving them extra stands and charge everyone £26, would stop a couple of folk complaining about £36 three games a season and I’m sure we’d make more cash

I think that’s it in a nutshell, Millers career path has been set for awhile now and it doesn’t include another season at FP. If there had been the possibility he might stay another season then his last contract extension would have included an option for a further year. The fact that it didn’t say to me that Motherwell were told one more year then he’s off.

Hopefully this works. This is what I’ve seen over the last few days, all seems to be speculation nothing concrete - unless we’re doing a Delboy and selling him multiple times

Ok I’m plucking figures out of the air here but £250k to buy plus say £50k signing on fee and a years wage at say £3k per week, £150k, gives us a potential £450k outlay on him. Add the sell on fee and what’s left is not a lot for the club. Keep him a year and if he has a good season we could get around £1.5m. Buying him was a gamble, why cash in early for next to no return?

If the story of him flying abroad yesterday are true then I’d suspect today would have been a look around the club and it’s facilities and talking to the manager today with possibly a medical and scans over today and tomorrow. If all is true and everything goes well then I’d expect something tomorrow or Friday.

Got to agree there, Maswanhise’s second was a thing of beauty but his first was probably more important as it calmed the nerves of the team and took the pressure off for the rest of the game.

I like the possession football but most successful teams who play in also mix it up a bit at times with either long ball’s out to the wings or quick passes through gaps through the centre and id like to see us trying that more. I think the second goal was a result of that (at least I’m convincing myself that or conning myself maybe). Overall a decent game with a good few bits of entertainment, some nice touches and goals - that’s enough to keep me happy. Also I think that teams looking to loan out players might just look at us and JBA’s tactics/coaching and think it would be good for their better young players.

Seen that and thought it was harsh, no players were moving to give him any other option and better to clear the ball rather than end up giving it away in the penalty box. Did the right thing in my opinion.

Kind of agree with you on that, the seeding has seen premiership teams ending up being paired with another unseeded premiership team which I don’t disagree with as it’s a cup competition and that’s how it should be. All I’m concerned with is making it to the next round. Personally I’d rather all teams went into a bowl and it’s the luck of the draw from there.

A well written and thoughtful post, I’m only quoting this part as I see it a different way. That 40% is a 66% increase of the squad that played in their previous games and although it’s all if, bits and maybes but if they had those players available earlier would they have been goalless and thumped? Comparing the two is not a valid comparison. As I said outwith that I broadly agree with most of what you said and I’m glad the fans were behind the team and not abusing SOD.
