Is it on alba?

That's my point. They need to market the game far better. Stop taking second best. Teams in Sweden Norway Denmark etc are not struggling - they have tv deals and income that can allow them to worry about the quality of the team on the park and not the balance sheets. I firmly believe we will lose all our out of contract players and will not replace them like for like and it's not just us facing this problems - it's most teams in the SPL. This drives the quality down even further. All they talk about in Scottish football is the lack of money in the game. Well fucking do something about it!

My feeling is there is a general apathy to football right now. Unless Motherwell come out and actually say 'we are fucked and we need £1 million by Christmas' then I doubt many people will be putting there hands in their pockets. Also clubs can't keep expecting us fans to shell out small fortunes on our teams. We need a system in place where money is generated by not only the fans but many other sources. German football is packed to the gunnels most weeks because its cheap as chips. Why is it cheap because they have a model where all clubs in the football league get money - equally shared.

I can understand getting rid of Forbes. He had his chance and the majority of the time was shite. But Lawless was a stupid move. He is on fire for the best team in the first division and as many have said would be a much better option that Omar Sharif!

We don't have any money to sign new players you fucking morons. Just back the players we have cos the player budget we have right now means we can sign no one near the quality of Higdon.

Murphy on top form like against the saints is a great player. Problem is he has too many off days and that is why he has fallen out the Scottish setup.

A decent cup run comes down to luck as you have mentioned in this post which renders the rest of it pointless.

Maybe he got man raped in the mega bar. The little bitch.

Why no cup run? Do you know the draw, the results and how we will play? Daft statement.

I actually thought it was just one of those games. We had loads of bad luck in the game and apart from the first goal were actually playing not too bad. Not brilliant, but certainly getting in about them. We do look very weak at the back, but is that not down to an ever changing back line with two very inexperienced players in Kerr and Cummins? We also have the problem of squad size. None of these players are being challenged on their position so get comfortable. We need to get some players in to start to put some pressure on guys like Murphy and Hateley. The January transfer window is looking like a key date for us. As for the league. I think we have a good enough squad to get a top six place, but McCall needs to sort out his tactics and also try and find some creativity in the team as nobody seems to want to take on that role. This season was always going to be tough for us and I thought that at the time losing Jennings, Craigan and Clancy was a big problem and we have essentially replaced them with rookies. Why? Cause we have zero cash and can't afford decent players wages. It's a bit of a catch 22 situation we are in.

Smile and the world will smile back...

ITS TUCKER TIME!

I never made the game so still have my original ticket for the game. Is this now invalid. If so will I have to tramp up to the ticket office (which is never open out with work hours) and get some voucher? Hmmmm wee but of a c***o made of this.

Joke surely?

I can't really see how stands could be redeveloped in the stadium while we still use it as a ground. A logistical safety nightmare. Best option would be a ground share for a season. Fix the East and POD Move back in. If the rumours are true that these stands are close to closing anyway then we better get it sorted soon.

That day we sat in the east stand with rivers of pish flowing past my feet. That was the day I felt a move would be the right thing to do.

Steelboy honestly you write barrel loads of utter shite. Ojamma has been one of our better players over the last few games. Plays football like a 10 year old? Tell me this how many goals has he set up this season? Yer worse than MJC at least he is mainly just trolling, you on the other hand are totally serious about what you say and most of the time it's miles out.

The same Faddy that put 25000 into the well society? Back under yer rock.

You lot say the same shite every season and every season we do well. We have a young squad who are not going to be consistent every game. But we have lost 2 games against the old firm at yer all out yer shells and straight to the keyboard to proclaim we will have a terrible season. We looked ropey against Inverness? Fuck off! We could have won that game about 6-1 that day! We will beat Dundee Utd as they are honking and you lot will all go back into your shells.

You must have a fucking awful life. Yer essays are so tiresome.

So going back a few years and the fact we have lost quite a lot to Rangers and Celtic which is to be expected and the fact we have lost European Games to teams with 20 times our budget means that McCall is a poor manager? Why not judge him on his performances against teams at a similar level? Which I am pretty sure will be excellent. Wednesday was a terrible night for the club, but it was one game. If we finish second or third again this season with the small sqaud we have it will be another amazing achievement from McCall.

Does it matter if I did? The point is it wasn't a pointlesss statement - it was a pretty poor attemtemt to get cosy with the Rangers fans. But I stand by the statement that all this uproar is down to the fact we were playing Sevco. If it were anyone else there would not be a 27 page thread and we would have forgotten all about it by now. Too many people totally obsessed with Rangers on here.

It wasn't a pointless statement. As I have said before the more rangers fans that went to the game the more money we got. All they did was a wee bit of good will spin to in the hope a few more orcs got through the door. Yes it's brown nosing and it doesn't sit we'll with me, but I don't look at the balance sheet everyday at Motherwell.

Would you want a statement if we lost to St Mirren? McCall gave an interview after the match saying he was angry and upset. What more do you want? The only reason you are all wetting your pants is cause we lost to Sevco. Get over it.
