Did not know that! In which case, based on the TV footage, it's worth a shot.

I don't think you can appeal bookings can you?

Yes, he's on a development loan there.

BBC Alba coverage gives a pretty clear view of the incident. The Accies defender left his foot in which, in this day and age, counts as a foul. I don't care what the pundits think, however. Skippy is one of those players you're delighted to have on your team, but would hurl abuse at when he's on an opponent's team. A talented, niggly wee pain in the arse that likes to try and referee games

I'd be amazed if any manager, who relies on results to keep their job, signed any player due to sympathy. I'd be much more likely to believe that Samson got his chance because he was cheap and deemed "likely good enough" while we spent money elsewhere.

Even worse!

While Clay doesn't look better than Campbell, Campbell isn't going to play every week - or if he does, he'll no doubt have the inconsistency of youth and we'll need cover. The bottom line for a club like us is that we can only afford top quality in some of our key positions whereas in others we need to go with "good enough" or a "utility player" and hope some of youngsters can also shine.

If we win on Tuesday, we also go above Dundee pulling them right back into the mix and, hopefully, adding more pressure to them before they play on Wednesday.

I actually like the contract option idea as it allows us to extend the contract of somebody we plan to sell and bump up their price. Pity this one is with Blyth and not Moult, right enough.

As usual, it will all be about recruitment + blooding youngsters next season. It's easy to forget, however, that our typical season involves hovering around mid-table or just below. Gannon was probably the best recruiter we had - I wonder if we can borrow his notebook.

Not sure if it's accurate, but I heard one of the conditions was that we need something like 5 full time people currently dedicated to coaching the youngsters.

- More important to get 3 points than to play well. - Motherwell grind out a priceless 3 points with only 8 fully fit players, 4 of whom have to play out of position. - Flood of complaints on here complaining how bad we were.

Threads like this one remind me that fans are idiots (and I'm happy to include myself in that).

It's impossible to play any kind of football on that plastic monstrosity and I'll be delighted if the pitch is relegated and never returns. Every pass needs a second, waist high touch to bring it under control and any kind of long pass just skids away from players. The wind played a big part too and was no coincidence we did better when it was behind us. Not kidding myself we are a good side, but I would never judge any player on that surface. We got the win we needed, and that is all that matters at this stage of the season.

What vintage was the wine?

An early goal gives me more stress that doesn't dissipate until we go at least 3 (preferably 4) clear.

I hope he is. I just hope he's reasonably fit or it could end up costing us.

I bet he's beelin' that we spelled his name wrong in the thread title.

No point in playing Hammell if he is half fit. Last thing we need is another self-inflicted mistake.

Maybe I misunderstood but since Les took over and, more recently the Well Society, there has been a massive change in the way the club is structured and governed.

It wasn't a criticism - just an observation regarding the content of his interview. I have always been in the pro-McGhee camp. Not blind to his faults (most of which I found entertaining), but overall more positives than negatives in his time with the club. Touting himself to Celtic the same week he joined us didn't do him any favours, mind you.

The only thing bigger than McGhee's ego is his mouth. He might have kept us up though, but it's all whataboutery.

True - but he also said which we all knew - they will have a list of about 20 or 30 players on their target list depending on what their big spending owner allocates to this summer's war chest.

Nobody moves to Rangers unless they pay it all, in cash, up front and the bank confirms it's legit and posted to the MFC account. Even then, I'd be wary,

From Torquay Utd to Rangers, the wealthy fan model ends in failure much more often than success. I'll still be up for it when I win the lottery, though.
