  1. If we kept winning it, that last one wouldn't be as special.
  2. I think it depends if we are talking about goals or hopes. As I mentioned earlier, my goal is to avoid relegation etc. My hope is we push for the top 6 and get a decent cup run.
  3. Don't get relegated. Stay solvent. Win a few games. Beat Accies.
  4. Aye, priorities in signing won't coincide with the timings of announced signings, but he seems to know exactly who he wants. As pointed out, however, as nice as it is to do business early, other business is dependent on offloading players, loan deals, the transfer window and people bidding for our guys. So the last pieces of business might not happen until July or August.
  5. I think it was just one step too far removed from our regular style. Fine if you are Blackburn Rovers - not quite as fine for ourselves. I quite liked the Patrick one, mind you.
  6. Only if the shirt was also different.
  7. If Thomas returns from his loan as good as Cadden and Erwin did from their's I'd be happy to see him stick around.
  8. Wonder if they will also be the sponsor of the new scoreboard.
  9. The level of caring ranges from folk like you (and me) who won't be buying one and don't really mind, to the likes of underboyleheating who will have a mild stroke if one stitch on the badge is 0.5 microns off centre
  10. Beat me to it. Especially when we have so many signings to make, and depending on what players will accept, it's all about risk/reward. 2 year contracts give us a chance to assess players and offer extensions after 6 -12 months.For a club with our finances it's arguably better to lose 2 good players for free at the end of 2 years than have 2 bad players on our books for 3 years. Tying up our younger prospects on longer deals is more important.
  11. Teams like Liverpool in the 70s and 80s thrived by making most of their appointments in-house. However, if guys like Las want to keep playing regularly for their last year or two they might need to move on. I'd like to see Big Mick stick around too, but would not be surprised if he ends up with a role at Celtic. As for Robinson, he seems very much his own man, and will choose an assistant that supports his philosophy over any other considerations.
  12. Aye, he's one of those players whose on-field attitude is almost a polar opposite of his off-field persona. No questioning his commitment to his employers, though. Spot on with his comments about his Celtic team mates that should have taken a good look at themselves for blowing the title, too. I did hear from a reliable source (I know, I know - but I trust this one) that his wife didn't fancy moving to Australia in January. Be interesting to see if that's where he ends up.
  13. Also puts into perspective the headlines of how we robbed him of his "dream move" when we knocked back Rangers bid. I doubt his agent could have kept a straight face when he fed that line to the press. I always enjoy listening to Skippy's interviews. He comes across as one of the good guys.
  14. Mexico gave Darren Randolph a good workout last night. They are a pretty decent side this year and well worth their victory over the Irish, Thanks to the commentators, I also learned that Darren's Dad is American and played in the Irish Basketball league. Did not know that.
  15. He obviously picked up a lot from his bomb scare team mates.
  16. I have seen some great Motherwell sides play in a white top. At the end of the day, however, I don't really care what colour it is as we rarely need to wear one.
  17. If they didn't change the designs every season, the kids could grow out of their old ones and have the new ones bought by the end of May.
  18. There's not much scope for opposition thanks to the League Cup and the early start to the season. Especially if you want English teams involved.
  19. Black, or anything fluorescent, should be nowhere near a football top. But I'm old and know nothing.
  20. Bringing back the guy with the spearmint and the macaroons is a great idea that could only be bettered if he also sold Chipmunk Crisps and Kia-Ora.

    I KNOW, RIGHT. THE CLUB SHOULD ONLY DO ONE THING EVERY DAY!! AND IF A PLAYER DECIDES NOT TO RENEW HIS CONTRACT, NO OTHER BUSINESS SHOULD BE DONE THAT DAY. THEY ARE BEHAVING LIKE PLAYER CONTRACTS AND CATERING DEALS AREN'T CONNECTED. 'FLO - GET IT SORTED BEFORE WE LOOSE MORE.
  22. Pour sponsor, they called it. Only Tennant's products served in any of the MFC bars.
  23. Saw that tweet this morning. Sounds like another step in the right direction. My first suggestion is a kick off meeting in the Florida Keys.

    Not unexpected. Good luck the guy and look forward to seeing him back at Fir Park in January when he's loaned back.
