  1. I wasnt persuaded but the reasons have been well posted, in this very thread for the 8-8-8 and its all to do with generating the money that in turn allows the distribution of wealth to happen sponsors and TV are supposedly waiting on the sidelines and its the belief, that if the League can make the offer of an increase in more competitive games ( the run up to the split, fresh teams facing each other thereafter fighting relegation etc)then contracts will be signed. voting? who knows, I feel I've been duped by them deliberately glossing over it ( but it will not be the first time, that the board get the chance to reverse that feeling by choosing to trust us and explain it, just a shame I feel that way for now)
  2. 11-1 should be the only thing that is relevant for now without it changing to something like 9-3, nothing effectively changes, as soon as the two cheeks are paired up again it would all be reset as effectively they would just restore their dominance on votes
  3. so when did it change back? or who has it wrong? or is it all smoke and mirrors?
  4. in Fairness 'they' told us Monday *us= the people who pay as much as the broadcasters, in fact dare say, many of 'us' pay twice as the broadcasters get their funding from somewhere too
  5. yeah it was certainly implied that a step towards changes was being made but Mr Weir piped up along the lines of some retained? matters would need a larger vote its frustrated me since the day, I even went back through tweets etc before commenting on here that night
  6. it was sadly one point that I did not have a clear explanation off to the point that Id say it wasnt made clear deliberatley I cannot remember the exact turn of phrase,which is frustrating, but in essence it was said that the voting would change on some matters but on others all clubs would still be needed and it was not cleared up about which clubs votes on what during the 8/8/8 farce
  7. it was his own man that was left in acres of space, happened a couple of times when Higdons man went for back post and Higgy got drawn towards cross ball his man then backed off into space, important thing was Higdons effort/determination to recover and block, but definitely something to work on for the coaches, as other teams will see his focus on the ball and not the man and exploit it
  8. there is a history of Motherwell fans judging players capabilities and writing them off for certain roles far too early in their limited appearances for us, but it restores faith when you jump on the bandwagon
  9. Reconstruction open forum Only capacity for 120 fans Email details in official site article to receive confirmation if space available for you Also email questions if you cannot make @MotherwellFC: Motherwell Football Club will host an open fans forum on league reconstruction this coming Thursday, 11th April: http://t.co/S531rGwpsk
  10. Nonsense, doing the Carswell up at Aberdeen was a gem of a celebration , he can stick to doing the Higgy and I'll cheer it just the same

    Dundee Game

    Have you ever seen a Motherwell, St.Mirren game?

    Dundee

    Big Shaun Hutchinson for me, he played the full 90 minutes, others impressed, but only in spells. Big fella was all over the back covering up for others Faddy is different class, had three or four on him at times, freeing up all the others, and his knowledge on positioning and general work-rate is an example to all the developing players around him, nothing decisive from him to day but he worked the Dee hard and allowed others space
  13. with no league sponsors and a flawed TV deal , the SFL reporting that its unlikely to get the required 22? clubs backing, then its almost guaranteed that SPL 2 will raise its head again I've about no fight left in me, hell mend them if they do, but then again they may well be dammed if they dont
  14. I'm quite happy he has signed on again not elated like some, Stuart McCall has many good skills and redeeming features, I still see him having the need to develop on some technical aspects of the game and on his stubborness to drop tactics or players that are not working during a game or run of games as well as the sidenote of the nedd to talk up our positives instead of the oppositions, but he IS a very successful Motherwell manager and I am appreciative that it was unlikely we could have taken on a more experienced well rounded manager. Stuart deserves this deal, and I expect he really wants the opportunity of gaining another Euro spot and the prize of managing again in European competition if he gets there. with the expected budget cuts (SFL have all but kiboshed the restructure next season), I think we'll be lucky for him to see out one full season of the deal, with him moving on for compensation, and us continuing to develop or resurrect managers careers as well as players Thanks for signing on Stuart, good job, so far, lets hope you can drag a little bit more success out

  16. so we still about £100 short? Ive just sent a fiver, can probably throw another few quid in if we're going to be short
  17. I'll probably do none of the above unlikely to re-new, certainly not the extra one probably attend the Saturday 3 pm ko's and others that suit that'll probably be around 10 home games and similar away games
  18. Carswell must have played well, with so many people mistaking him for Faddy
  19. dont think we'll see a Motherwell v Hibs game on a Saturday at 3 O'Clock for a while it nearly always produces the sort of stats the tv companies will love
  20. Hi folks sorry about the delay, I made up all the raffle tickets for every £5 contributed, and got up to the club today Where ticket office manager Wendy, very kindly made the draw. Winner of Shaun's strip was StipelsGod And Stevies was won by Ecky They'll both also get the invites to the sponsors night (and hopefully take some photos!) Many thanks to everyone that contributed
  21. Good chance you'll get a job with the SPL with your success rate
  22. I agree, the £22 we charge visiting fans is not going to encourage any boost, Friday night or otherwise was a big support that night with hibs, massive organised displays etc from Sect 43, masses of cheap travel buses arranged from a supporters forum, and they were flying at the time, looking forward to a Cup tie with Hearts the following weekend huge buzz about their team at the time, but I didnt think it was 2000, total crowd was 5301? I thought their big support was the previous Friday December game, they brought 1460 fans, who all enjoyed welcoming their new manager and benefited from £10 entry and it was not televised, season ticket holders also got free friends ticket, crowd that night was 6741 either way, the full price , Televised game on Friday night, had quite a hugeimpact on the Motherwell support, which should be the primary concern
