  1. The lad was never going to get near the first team with the players we now have.
  2. Big John Sutton - is he taking over from Keith Lasley as the housewifes choice? Brilliant season big man!

    Hibernian

    Sutton was excellent last night. Has had a great second half of the season. I have also never seen a forward win as much in the air. Brilliant. If Juke stays then him and Sutton is a pretty formidable front two. Already got about 25 goals between them this season.
  4. Can somenone get the sky sports highlights up on the site?
  5. Fitting end to the season at Fir Park for John Sutton. Once again was terrific up front for us. The front two of Duke and Sutton were what got us that point. Incredible workrate from them both. A defensive horror show, but don't take anything away from the Hibs front three. Their movement was excellent until the 6th goal then they collapsed. But honestly why is goal of the season not done at the end of the season? Because that goal from Dukey was the best by a long long distance. I love football. It never lets you down!
  6. Klimpl isn't good enough for Dundee and he was never good enough for us. Total banger so he was.
  7. I'm not running onto that pitch. My shoes would get wrecked.
  8. Think it will go two ways. We will either get beat and then go to Ibrox and get a win that will give us the Europa place. We will win convincingly tonight by 2 or 3 goals and the party will begin. Hibs are in freefall and that defeat against Hearts was a real sore one to take. There are a large amount of problems behind the scenes at Hibs so lets hope they lack the fight to get that final place. Lets also remember that we can still finish 5th and get Europe as long as Dundee Utd win the cup so not all is lost if we gert beat. Key tonight is to be loud and create as difficult an atmosphere as possible for hibs. Boo their every touch. Mock them. Abuse them. Go all Luton Town on them!

    Jim O'Brien

    Jennings and Hateley are our most creative players. They create the sapce for O'Brien to flap about in the wind. Mind you I like the guy. He is at least entertaining in a SPL full of 'effective' midfielders and 'strong' forwards. Get them all to fuck and show me some flair.
  10. Flows weight gain and John Boyles raise to another octave in his voice.
  11. He is better than Lasley, but its more the attitude he would bring. We would all want players like Asprillia or Robinho on the pitch, but at the end of the day are they worth the trouble?

    Rhys Weston

    Not sure about this one. I am more than happy to bring in experience, but I would hate for us to go down the road of the 'old journeyman pro' road. Much prefer us to be siging players like Hateley and Jennings where we might make some profit.
  13. Stewart is a grade A wank stain that is about as welcome in our dressing room as the winter vomiting bug.
  14. Decent player that has never really impressed me. Always looked a bit clumsy on the ball. He did get into good areas though and scored a few vital goals for us, but at the moment I just can't see how he would fit into our team. Humphrey is a better player. He has much more of an impact that Smith, he just needs to convert some of his opportunities. Hopefully with a pre season under him he will be a better player next year.
  15. Holy shit flow. What they been feeding you at Fir Park?
  16. Mine would be the 8-1 humping of Flamaturi. I know they were a pub team, but what I loved was that it was all the young lads who made that victory all the sweeter. We hadn't really seen Hutchy, Forbes, Slane or McHugh on the big stage yet and I felt this game showed we have some real talent on the books. Also it was a cracking day and most of the goals were magic! Close second would be the 1-1 draw with Rangers. Felt thats probably the best we have played all season. Just didn't have luck or an unbaised ref on our side that day.
  17. Tom has been less effective due to him playing right back. Stick him in the midfield and he is essential to our team. Can't believe he never got nominated in any young player awards this season.

    Jim O'Brien

    Re Hateley - I agree with Al B, the boy has bags of potential and his game has suffered on our bog. He signed a one year deal and if we can't get him on an extension then I think a fair few clubs will be snapping him up. Re O'Brien - this argument is as old as the hills. I don't give a fuck where someone chooses to play for. I have never slated McGeady or McCarthur for their decsion as its up to them and the same goes for McLean and O'Brien.
  19. Let make the assumption that Reynolds, O'Brien, Ruddy and Duke are all gone, what would be your starting eleven from the current squad based on a 4-4-2? GK - Fraser DL - Hammell DC - Craigan DC - Hutchison DR - Saunders ML - Forbes MC - Lasley MC - Jennings MR - Hateley FC - Murphy FC- Sutton Based on current squad I would say its in defence we look strongest for next season, but need to get some creativity in the midfield, a new goalkeeper and some fresh attackers to compliment Murphy, Sutton and McHugh.
  20. Unless its 100% fixed next season then I doubt I will renew my season ticket. This last half of the season, even though we have done well has been dreadful to watch. Its not the players fault or the management. Its just comes down to the worst pitch in the UK. Some may say that it was worse back in the day, fair enough, but you didn't pay a small fortune to get in back then.
  21. Christ all that puts us to shame. We should start using the facilities up at Ravenscraig and also build a new stadium up there too. Not often you get the chance to build on a blank canvas. If we had something like the picture above I would be fair chuffed.
  22. Overall he is a terrible goalkeeper who gives his back four no confidence at all. He injured three of our players with his daft 15 yard runs to catch a ball going nowhere. First goal was just one of those things. Happens to the best. However the second goal was not his fault. Reynolds was totally at fault for that. Also why did he not let it out for a throw? Stupid decision making. Third one was a shocker. He should not be letting a grass fizzer go under his body. It was more his overall performace which was nervy and this makes the defence that bit more aprehensive. What gets me though and Steve Diggles points it out too is why we basically abused him like he was an opposition player and thus make him play even worse. Why not get behind him and try ans get his confidence up. He is basically the only goalkeeper we have at the moment so if anyone is to blame for this its Motherwell FC as a whole for not getting enough backup in place. I actually felt quite sorry for the guy by the end of the game as he is now public enemy number one at Fir Park.
  23. With that fucking shite pitch I would pay a fiver.
  24. We haven't won at Ibrox in god knows how long! I do agree though that Rangers will drop a fair few points in this run in, but they will have enough in the tank to get the 6 points they need. Anyway your idea is on the basis Celtic win all their games and thats pretty unlikley. Would be amazing if it did happen though!
