  1. Do you believe young players should be in the first team for the sake of it? Or do you believe there's players in the U20's who are better than those currently in the first team?
  2. Yeah, "Simply The Greatest" it was called. Originally released on video, before being re-released on DVD. Highlights of each round, with extended highlights of the final.

    Mfc Podcast

    Joe McKelvie will be getting his very own wee cartoon face soon, with the amount of times he's on that podcast...
  4. Yeah, even a year a ago would have helped him. We're now, what, almost two years down the line from his first start for Motherwell, and the truth of the matter is he's no further forward as a first team player. Yes, you could argue he's not been given a run of games, but you could counter that by saying he's not shown enough in the cameos he's had (I believe it's one assist and no goals) to be given those starts. Catch 22 I suppose. If he continues as is until January, he simply has to get out on loan to play first team football. It would be a real shame if it were to fizzle out until the end of his contract. While I always support bringing young players through and doing our best to tie them to long term deals, we are now looking at the possibility in three and a half year deals given to Thomas and Watt amounting to very very little.
  5. You throw away £60 per season to park in a school next to the ground (I assume it'll either be Knowetop or Fir Park primary) when there is a plethora of places and streets you can park a car within 5 minutes walking distance to the stadium (and they cost £60 less than your "season ticket"). You must have plenty of money to play with if you can piss it away like that. I also see next to no benefit, considering if you go straight to your car after the game, you'll need to drive through a big crowd of people who are walking out of the very ground you've parked next to.
  6. That's some fucking round trip for you to get a loaf and a pint of milk.
  7. You've got to love these made-up, pointless job titles, don't you?

    Left Backs

    The main thing I remember about Andy Roddie was the claret & amber gloves he used to wear that said Motherwell across them. I also owed a pair. He goes down as a good guy in my book for that.

    Left Backs

    No he didn't. By the time Hammell made his debut, squad numbers were in play. He's never worn the number 4 shirt. I'm sure he's worn 25, 16 and latterly 3 during his time with Motherwell. Although I'm sure Joeboy will be along soon with official confirmation.

  11. I'd probably stick someone in goals, just to be on the safe side. I know Samson isn't the best, but still...

    Left Backs

    I was young at the time, but i'm pretty sure McMillan played at right-back in a Scottish Cup tie a Tannadice. We lost 4-1. I'm thinking it was 1996. Not a good day.
  13. This thread will be fun when Tom Hateley scores a free kick against us at Dens Park...
  14. Are development loans still able to be done between windows?
  15. The fee for Marvin Johnson was rumoured to be £350k with add-ons = all hell breaks loose. MFC are scum of the earth. The fee for Marvin Johnson was rumoured to be £650k with add-ons = all is good with the world. Well done all. Rumours, eh?
  16. So you have no idea either? Great stuff. There's literally about a handful of people who know what the transfer fee was, none of which are on here, yet we've got shitloads of people on here going mental about the club apparently selling on the cheap? Absolute fucking mentalists about.
  17. The same as every other player I'd suggest. If he performs well, he'll get praise. If he doesn't, he'll set stick.
  18. It's McGhee's fault because Motherwell are holding out for the best deal they possibly can for a contracted player? I'm fully aware that a lot of Motherwell fans don't like the manager, but that is a fucking belter. My word!
  19. Gino I don't buy the "the club won't want an unhappy player" chat. He'll still be an asset for MFC if he's here next week. If he takes the cream puff and doesn't perform for the next four months, the one who'll be affected most by it is Marvin Johnson.
  20. Explains his half arsed performance on Saturday.
  21. You need to be quiet when talking about him.
