Would love to see Dorman at Motherwell. He is a good player who I feel has been stifled by a shocking lack of creativity in his team. Also at the tail end of this season he essentially saved St Mirren from the drop with his goals.
-
For the level of player we are after will probably pick us ahead of lets say Kilmarnock if we were in Europe. Its the luck of the draw and you never know what can happen.

Re - Lukas. Sounds promising that he is really keen on staying, but wages, fees etc I think will price us out. I think he would have to take a wage cut which aint gonna happen. Re - Imrie I am sure the Accies paid a six figure sum for him. So no chance of us getting him. Honestly don't care about his past as I don't know him from Adam, but he is an excellent player. As for Teale and McEveley. Both would probably walk into our team, but again I doubt we could even get close to the wages they would have been on. EDIT - I think after the Scottish Cup Final and if we make it into Europe then A. We can attract better players and B we can maybe put more cash towards the getting of players.

I would take Imrie in a second. Has been brilliant for the Accies in the SPL. I do agree though. Stick a Sanchez or a Roberto into a ottballers name and they instantly go up a notch. Its understandable though. I mean its not like many good footballers come out of Scotland!

See how I have said worth a look - thats pretty much what I am saying.
-
Moutinho is a decent player. Worth a look anyway.

Will there be a sale for Cantebury kit gear? I got a Bukta home strip for about a tenner last time I was in the shop.

I think that Fair Play table shows one of the flaws in our team. We are not strong enough to be tough in the tackle. So many times this season we stood off players when we should have just took them down. The 6-6 game with Hibs is a perfect example. About 4 of those goals could have been prevented byt getting into their face.

Got to say its been a funny old season, but one that certainly had its ups and downs. When Gannon arrived we really felt there was going to be a revolution at the club, but alas it turned sour. We have to thank the big man on signing the players who saved us from a relegation scrap and also giving the young players at the club the confidence to play at a higher level. Players like Hateley, Ruddy, Juke and Jennings have been a class above some of the usual SPL dirge. Our memorable Euro run was a great start to the season and I loved the Flamaturi game and the Steua game was also great when Forbes hit that rocket into the top corner. It was a great start to the seaosn, but you could tell things were not working on and off the field and I think the 6-1 thrashing at Ibrox was the major turning point in the season. Was actually quite relieved when he got sacked though as it had all gone a bit Malpas-esque and I feel he lost the dressing room and probably the whole club. Certainly was a bit dubious when Brown and Knox came in, but they did their job and then some. We were staring a relegation dogfight in the face, but Brown instilled confidence in the players and the ability shone through. We always had the quality it was just we needed the right man to bring it out in them. Its a pity we ended the season not making it into Europe off our own backs, but you have say that 5th after the start we had is a fantastic achievement. Consider that Dundee Utd and Hibs have been up the top of the league all season, but we were able to catch them and were a whisker away from making it a race for third place. I think the long season took its toll at the end there, but we did have the pleasure of watching the best SPL game in its history. Lets hope Dundee Utd do it on Saturday and we can enjoy a wee jaunt to Europe. Also special mention to Jennings and Sutton - our two best players in the second half of the season. I think Jennings could go on to big things. One other thing. The pitch. Get it fucking sorted Motherwell!
-
The lad was never going to get near the first team with the players we now have.
-
Big John Sutton - is he taking over from Keith Lasley as the housewifes choice? Brilliant season big man!
-
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.

Can somenone get the sky sports highlights up on the site?

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!
-
Klimpl isn't good enough for Dundee and he was never good enough for us. Total banger so he was.
-
I'm not running onto that pitch. My shoes would get wrecked.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Flows weight gain and John Boyles raise to another octave in his voice.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Stewart is a grade A wank stain that is about as welcome in our dressing room as the winter vomiting bug.
-
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.
-
Holy shit flow. What they been feeding you at Fir Park?
-
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.
