  1. You are so selective in your stats in unbelievable. So what if Higdon hasn't scored in certain games. He is still joint top scorer and we are second in the SPL. See by the end of the season and lets say we finish 2nd and Higdon gets 25 goals (more than any other Motherwell player for years) and also McFadden and Ojamma end the season with 5 goals between them, but have assists well into the double figures - would you then say that all these players have been a total waste or a failure? Also Murphy wasn't wasted on the wing. He left us in January with 12 goals - he too could have gone on to score over 20 in the one season.
  2. We have a great attack and they have a honking defence. They have a great attack and we have a honking defence. It's going to be a belter!! 4-4 Faddy double to level it up!
  3. Played brilliant today. Law was immense and I thought the new boy Higginbotham was very good and direct. Three points on Tuesday would be massive!
  4. Will the club not fine him anyway for getting the red card. Sounds like he lost it through frustration. Happens to the best of us. Christ even Zidane lost the Head in one of the biggest games of his life. Slightly different circumstances, but essentially the same result.
  5. Apathy mate. There are very few people who give a fuck about football in general in Scotland. I agree about competition though. It's the single biggest factor in our game that is bringing it down. All we need is 4-5 teams up there competing to make it interesting. The scandal is how teams like Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen have been run. They should be at least pushing Celtic, but us and teams like Inverness with much smaller budgets have been out performing them recently. My solution. Get rid of Celtic and rangers and watch our game flourish. Might be at a worse level but it will be as pure as the driven snow as mother superior once said.
  6. Spastic hands tokley? Yer having a laugh!
  7. They have more money than us. We are rooked. We have fuck all money. We need to just accept this.
  8. They weren't even invited to the meeting. Its got nothing at all to do with them.
  9. I tried to setup the new league system in Football Manager last night, go Motherwell and the go on holiday and see what happened in the morning. I woke up and went downstairs to see Neil Doncaster wanking furiously over my laptop.
  10. What I don't get about all of this is that each chairman has been on the news is saying the same thing that this must be done to save our game and that no change will be a disaster for the future of our game. I'm of the opinion that the only way forward is an 18 team league, but that's out the window. So they have come up with this cluster fuck of a proposition and SPL clubs are swaying towards it, but why? The problems of our game are cost and apathy. Too many people in Scotland have no interest in our national game and the reason is that our league is always going to be won by 1 of 2 teams. The cost to go to an SPL match is far too expensive and many people just can't afford it. The first point could be fixed if we stopped giving all the money to the old firm - the second point has not even been addressed. But by changing our league to some 12-12-18 farce is somehow going to make the whole thing better? Don't think so.
  11. I can't wait until they put through the new mega league. Then I heard next season it's multi ball and kilo bags of nuts for all fans. Hell yeah!
  12. The club are pissed of at the fans as no one turned up for the Dundee game like they said they would and have decided to use all the money you put in to pay off massive debts and then ignore you all! Allegedly.....
  13. I'm not so sure. Houston is well liked by the players and the fans. I think we have to come out the blocks straight away and hurt them. They now have no manager and also have a huge cup tie on Saturday. They are there for the taking.
  14. Seriously though how much would something like that go for. Thousands?
  15. See if we finish second this season will you still be posting this drivel? Every week it's the same and every week we get further away from the chasing pack. Yes we leak goals, but also score shit loads. The strength in our team is to attack and McCall see that too. I am really enjoying the games at fir park because they are open and high scoring. Also what flaws does Higdon have? The guy has been immense for us. Be gutted if he leaves

    Our Shape

    The games are mostly entertaining. So thumbs up from me.
  17. My mate who is a dons fan says he is superb. Best young player they have coming through the ranks and they seem to have a few these days.
  18. Is Kris Boyd still playing football. I thought he had quit the game to be honest.
  19. Harkins is shite - one good game in about 20
  20. I don't agree with that. There are plenty of scouts from top English clubs up here all the time as they can essentially get our players for buttons. Look at McCarthy. Wigan paid about 1 million for him. Now it seems Arsenal are lining up a bid of 8 million to get him. That gets scouts and agents very interested in our game as the profit margins are huge. Also there are a huge amount of SPL player out of contract this season and I would not be surprised to see a few of them at top end Championship / lower EPL clubs - that includes Randolph. Look at guys like Naismith, Snodgrass, McCarthur, Caldwell - all have moved down south and performed very well and getting regular games in the EPL.
