  1. He was one of may favourite players when I was a kid. I think I was about 9 or 10 when he joined us. Of course, at that age I had no idea of his history. For a brief time we had Wullie P, Bobby G and Peter M together.
  2. I'd prefer Marinello-esque, but will take what I can get.
  3. It's not the Motherwell content that's the issue.
  4. Short sighted means your close up vision is good. I can speak from experience of being short sighted and always taking my glasses off to read (because my close up vision is perfect). If it's further away I need bigger text, but I don't read websites from further away.
  5. Maybe it's the people that are happy being fed whatever Elon or The Zuck spews at them instead of connecting to the Fediverse that are luddites.
  6. Short sighted means you can read close up. No big text necessary. Just sayin'
  7. No doubt a typical slow start as we find our feet in the first half before we come into our own in the second half and close things out in the final 30 mins.
  8. 100% agree. The only reason I still use Twitter is to follow the club and I have made a few suggestions that we either ditch it or, at least, share that information elsewhere.
  9. I hope we don't have a 3rd strip - one of the worst examples of money-grabs in the modern game. The blue, presumably is a nod to the Ravenscraig towers (and our historical team colours). I've never been a fan of using claret as the base colour for our change kit though. Too Hearts-y.
  10. It's not black. It's not fluorescent. It's not jester-ish. That puts it ahead of the game for me. I'd be quite happy if our change kit every season was white with claret and amber trim, but those days have long gone. On the plus side, if we launch a kit you don't like, it will be gone in a season.
  11. There's more to it than first team goals, though. You only needed to watch him play for 45 minutes to see how good he was. Unlike, say, Theo Bair, who was very much a "project".
  12. Happens to every keeper that is asked to play this way. I remember watching Liverpool lose a goal or two when Allison was disposessed.
  13. Not a bad shout. While British Steel shoulder some of the blame, if they were a bank with those financial problems the government of the day would have been more than happy to throw our tax money at them and keep them afloat.
  14. Agreed on both counts. I guarantee, however, there will be complaints about the new SO too when sections of our fans don't get their way.
  15. "Let's pay a tribute to our Steelmen history, and the devastating impact and loss to the community that many still have to deal with today." Aye, but I don't like the badge.
  16. Safety Officers are always going to rub some folk the wrong way because they are responsible for enforcing rules (and laws) some people don't like e.g. no pyro.
  17. If there is anyone with any business sense in the board, what should happen if Miller prefers a lower bid is that the club (and his agent) tell the lower bidder if they add another million they will get him. Despite all the speculation in the media, nobody really knows the value of any bids that are made, including the interested clubs.
  18. Prudence should be the name of the game even if we get millions for Miller. The last thing we need to be doing is following the John Boyle Model of Recruitment & Financial Management.
  19. I'm thinking about adding a pre-qualification question requirement before posting: "Do you understand the difference between a competitive match and a non-competitive pre-season friendly?"
  20. I like Bevis, but he had as many mistakes and as many poor passes in him as our current defenders.
  21. It always is at this time of pre-season. We're in the run till you're knackered sessions. Actual football and tactics come a bit later.
  22. Doesn't hurt to let the European scouts watch him play.
  23. My Dutch colleagues tell me it's about 34C there today, so probably won't be seeing much high tempo football this evening.
