  1. I get the main point of this thread and also peoples replies not to panic as we have lost key players in the past. But personally i cant remember loosing so many in one go. :( However our saviour could be, touch wood and not counting our chickens to reach the euro group stages which unlike last year i do nott think is an near impossible achievement as long as we play fully to our capabilities.

     

    Personally i feel the futures not bright but its not doomed at the moment its on a knife edge and fully in our hands and well achievable. Il wait for the worst before panicking. I wish any player that moves on to better themselves well. As for MMG i wish him nothing but a plague of a thousand locusts but that's another thread :lol:

  2. I don't think we will ever get a loyal or trustworthy manager as we are only motherwell but i never liked McGone i always feel he treated us with contempt. Fuck what he supposedly did it was the players and i feel were worse off now than when he came in ffs wheres the squad. No matter what they will always view us as a stepping stone but 7 managers in 10 years is too too much. Whoever comes in i want a bit of loyalty.

    As for Mcceltic/hearts.Scotland good riddance youre tactics against St Midden were shte.

     

    I want a fan/manager that will be loyal, i remember the poll is McGee the best Well manager I THINK NOT.

  3. Yep, I agree, no stepping stone managers please Mr Boyle, although all this Motherwell/Celtic/Rangers minded' Manager/Player/prostitute does ma heid. Let managerial ability be the first thing on the job prerequisite, Motherwell minded is very very low.
    ^_^^_^:notworthy: Aye fook being a stepping stone anymore were in Europe 2 seasons in a row (fook how we got there we are) So lets find a manager that wants that challenge rather than adding us to his CV.
  4. Regardless at some point he will be off hes spouted on about "loyalty" when he only stopped jumping ship because of cold feet"

    Never been a fan and his past speaks volumes of his loyalty so be gone or get on with it, this same shit hindered our singing of new players last season IMHO so get it put to bed quickly.

     

    Personally id rather have halve the quality of manager as long as he eats sleeps and shits MFC. We ain't going to be world beaters but i do want passion rather than being a stepping stone.

    Regardless its still mainly the same players who would run through a brick wall for the club so i hold no fear as i know what they are capable of.

  5. Couldn't give a flying Fook what will be will be, been there too many times with the Hearts and Scotland saga if he stays ill support if he goes so be it i personally never rated him that highly anyway. That's just my personal view though.

  6. An excellent day with loads of bargains to be had, personally i got loads of stuff for the gym (under armour being a steal). Thanks to all those who put in the time and effort to make this happen its very much appreciated.

    Ps special thanks to Allan (think thats the chap) who gave discounts on nearly everything and even a few freebies, Top Bloke :)

     

    Its small things like this that all add up to making it feel like A FAMILLY CLUB AGAIN.

     

    Cheap memorabilia (apart from pendants £50 ffs come on lol, i know it wasn't you re choice)

    Cooper back to the real fans.

    Pitch getting finally done.

    Discount on season tickets.

    Back in Europe :)

    And finally a decent amount of information coming out of Fir Park rather than the wait and see veil of secrecy.

     

    Just one thing tho WTF am i going to moan about now, Christ i cant become a happy clapper :nod:

    Hope it raised a few Bob for the cause, thanx again.

    "Anyone who doesn't want to be part of it can tell me now and move on. Every single one of them has the opportunity to be with us next season but they have to show me over the next five games that they want to be here."

     

    Well said Mark Give them a date to make up there minds, stick to it and if they haven't made up there minds let them go and get someone else in.

     

    :blink::woop:B-) Pot and Kettle what a hoot "make up there minds" brilliant B-)B-):lol:

  8. I know steph personally and he says hes "like a kid in a sweetshop just now". Whatever he chooses thank you for everything like Roscoe and Ports i wish him well but i hope he stays if not for 1 more season.

  9. I honestly cant blame the players and MMG ain't my favourite person in the world (needs to stop touting himself around and get on with what hes paid to do) but we lost some very key players in roscoe and ports and injuries hurt us badly which could have been avoided but if were going to finger point then it should be higher up as i wholeheartedly blame the pitch and the deplorable lies were were told and assurances it would be fixed were completely untrue.

     

    The pitch was crap players struggled to adjust and as a consequence our play and tactics changed this hurt us more than anything, instead of being confident at going out and hammering teams it was more lump the ball up the park and hope for the best and without 6 ft plus strikers that wont work

     

     

    Remembering where we were in DEC and the real dread of relegation i think again we have punched above our weight well done for that and please get it bloody sorter properly this time u cant play silky football on a bloody farmers field.

    Exclusive: There's no chance Hibs will beat us to top six, says Motherwell's Mark McGhee

    Apr 16 2009 By Hugh Keevins Chris Roberts

     

    MARK MCGHEE has hit back at the manager he is going toe to toe with in the race to reach the top six - and branded him Mixer Paatelainen.

     

    Hibs boss Paatelainen launched into the mind games earlier this week by insisting the pressure is all on Motherwell as the two sides battle to make the top half of the table with one game to go.

     

    Paatelainen claimed their rivals' bottle will crash on Saturday when they face St Mirren at home.

     

    But McGhee last night fired back and said a wind-up is Hibs' only chance of beating them to the top half of the table.

     

    Paatelainen's men face Rangers on Sunday and, with a one-point lead over the Fir Park side, a win at Easter Road will secure them their top-half status.

     

    McGhee, however, is refusing to throw in the towel yet - not when there's a s400,000 prize on offer.

     

    That's how much Well are set to rake in from bigger crowds who will witness a rousing end to the season rather than a handful of meaningless matches.

     

    With so much at stake the tension is growing but McGhee remains ice cool.

     

    The Fir Park boss said: "Hibs only hope is that we bottle it.

     

    "But if we beat St Mirren they won't be getting into the top six because I don't believe they'll beat Rangers.

     

    "I've got absolutely no worries about the strength of my team's temperament.

     

    "If we failed at any stage in the earlier part of the season then it was because we played poorly, not because our bottle crashed.

     

    "You'd need to have a kind of arrogance about you in the first place if you were to run the risk of your bottle crashing..

     

    "My players are too modest to be troubled by ego in that way.

     

    They're only mortal beings and humans make mistakes from time to time.

     

    "My team has nowhere to crash because they're too honest with themselves.

     

    "They've already shown the strength of their minds by going 14 games with only two defeats while riding out all the injury problems we've suffered."

     

    Well defender Paul Quinn says Paatelainen's attempts will prove fruitless - because his side have been through far worse pressure.

     

    Seven years ago the Well weren't fighting just for points, their very existence was threatened as administration dug in its savage claws.

     

    Then, in 2007, the Fir Park family went through an even more difficult time with the death of Phil O'Donnell. Quinn said: "You can'talk to me about pressure. I've been here fighting for a job, never mind a place in the top six of the SPL.

     

    "Mixu has maybe got the deflectors out a bit here. His team were clearly second best against St Mirren the other night. That doesn't sum up his season because I think he's done a great job.

     

    "Perhaps there is a bit of mind games but I don't get involved in that kind of stuff and neither does our gaffer.We are not interested.

     

    "That stuff 's for Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger and all the other big-hitters. We have big enough characters in our dressing room to handle any occasion.

     

    "The first day after Phil died, we went to Tynecastle and were 2-0 down and they hit the bar. We could have gone into our shell but we took it to a replay and ended up winning that Cup tie as well as finishing third in the league.That was pressure."

     

    Quinn has been under the cosh more than anybody in Scottish football since bursting on to the scene in 2002. He was handed the armband and then stripped of the captaincy after finding himself on the front pages of newspapers after a series of incidents.

     

    Quinn said: "Luck has a part to play in life but I always believe I am never worst off.

     

    "There are people worse off than me, ill people, and you just have to look at the programmes on Hillsborough to know that.

     

    "You look at that and think, 'someone hit me in a nightclub and two months later I got bad press and people thought ill of me'. Big deal. A couple of months later it's forgotten and I can bounce back and get on with my life and career.

     

    Doing the best in my career is what I thrive on. I'm simply not interested in hard-luck stories." As Record Sport revealed yesterday, Well have slashed admission prices for all fans to just s5 in a bid to pull in the punters for Saturday's crunch against St Mirren.

     

    McGhee has applauded the move. He said: "This will be one of those days when the size of the crowd makes a big difference to us.

     

    "Live TV coverage and a 12.30 kick-off time can create problems but the players just want to get on with it."

  11. End of boycott from me. Think I'll get a season ticket now.

     

     

    Agree 110%

     

     

    I'm so pleased about this don't care about the reasons behind it but i guarantee me and my 2 lads will be season ticket holders next season. :D

     

    Gawd long time since i said this but well done M.F.C :notworthy: for finally putting an end to this lunacy nothing is worth in the short term alienating lifelong and potential life long fans. THANK YOU

  12. Good

     

    Its truly frustrating at times the lack of info from M.F.C and i can appreciate you're position being caught in the middle of doing a job and being a fan also, so lets forget the past and move on.

     

    I want to see us ripping teams apart again god knows we have the players to do it (they proved that in the past) so lets at least give them a consistent surface to do it on.

  13. I truly hope so m8 as i think it damaged us this season, we had to change our style of play DRASTICALLY where we used to go out and try to destroy teams in the first 30 mins we became more cautious (who can blame the players with the bounce of the ball being so unpredictable) and more of a countering team.

     

    Regardless a season to be proud of again if we remember who we are we are still punching well above our weight.

     

    I just hope M.F.C hold there word this time.

     

    PLEASE prove me wrong.

  14. The club will rip up the pitch at the first possible opportunity (depends on the location of the final day of the SPL season) and sort out the on-going problems we have had and the new drainage, under-soil heating and pitch will be ready in plenty of time for the new SPL season due to start in the middle of August.

     

     

    Cheers

     

    'Flow

     

    I seem to remember this being promised last season forgive me if i don't hold my Breath :lol:

  15. Still hurting over this, not so much the result but the lack luster performance from a full squad to pick from. What happened to going out and beating teams in the first 30 mins there was a definite lack of importance with the players.

    This result has hurt us bad and i now think top 6 is gone in all realism (meaningless games ahead after the split) but i live in hope, when we cant beat a very very poor killie i think were doomed against a well up for it dons side.

     

    As for MMG having as good a ratio as Tommy forget it Tommy brought us silverware something MMG has yet to deliver on so stuff stats Tommys a legend

    I watched the rugby Ok the result didn't go our way Humped by England again :lol:

    But im very impressed by there discipline, no crowding the ref, no disputing of decisions and no feigning of injuries.

    The ref even talks to them telling them to watch and stay onside :(

     

    The fair play award isnt too far away and that's how Man city are in the Euro spot not that i think for a min we could get in that way.
