  1. We bring in players too. In fact, in a recent interview, Craigan said we might have to bring in some more during the window because we were short on numbers.
  2. I may be misremembering, but in my lifetime it feels like we have typically done better against Celtic. I always thought it was because they tend to be more of a football team that let you play a bit more while Rangers rely more on strength and power - something we typically struggle to combat.
  3. If he was a rugby player he'd have been back on the pitch 2 minutes later after quick adjustment from the trainer. Seriously though, hopefully he's not out too long as his development was moving in the right direction. And the U20s could use his services in the semi-final.
  4. Missed opportunity there to recreate The Red Wedding.
  5. Forget about the Elite Eight. We have proved again that at a minimum we should be a part of the Fantastic Four (or Fabulous Four if we are looking to be more inclusive).
  6. We need to drop this 'season over, chat. Staying in the top flight is essential this year and if the players start thinking the season is over the Championship beckons.
  7. For all his faults, Baraclough won us the playoff game because he went there with the right attitude - not the jaded approach taken by McGhee and McCall with their "need them to have an off day" patter and then line up too defensively. If we'd just turn up and get stuck in we couldn't have a worse record in the last 20+ years than we do now, but for some reason successive managers think changing tactics that see us consistently lose is the way to play.
  8. Business as usual. I never expect anything from a game at Ibrox and always get what I expect. Our record there is beyond embarrassing.

    Fir Park

    Lego is much more expensive than I remember.
  10. Lambert was a half decent player. Surprised his career took such a big dip after he left us with just the one Champions League Winner's medal to his name
  11. He has scored less goals total since 2011 than Moult has scored in his Motherwell career. I'm not saying he was useless, but we made more money than he was worth when we sold him.
  12. I'm always curious how much teams like Forest Green Rovers pay their players these days. They used to be my local club (when they changed their name to Stroud FC and then back to Forest Green Rovers). Back then, ticket prices were very cheap, but I see now they charge 16 quid to stand and 18 or 20 quid to sit - so you have to think the wages are decent.
  13. We got the best side of that deal when we sold him on.
  14. As far as great names go Shaquille Coulthirst is fine, but he's no Crawford Baptie.
  15. I don't know about the disruptive influence thing, but one or two people at Fir Park (including Crags) have publicly mentioned that while he has the talent, his attitude needs some work.
  16. The first problem is that the boardrooms up and down the country, and at all levels of the game, are full of Old Firm fans. The second problem is that, even where they aren't Old Firm fans, they believe we need to keep the OF happy for the financial health of their club. I doubt it will ever change,
  17. The biggest thing Erwin is missing from his game since he left us is Skippy telling him what to do for 90 mins.
  18. I'd rather we had a game, but enjoying the FA Cup games today. Rochdale first and now PNE running rings round Arsenal.
  19. If we had just punted Humphrey, we'd be seeing all the "found his level" posts.
  20. The new model, as mentioned during the Well Society Q&A means that we don't have to sell any more players this season. We have, in effect, a line of credit with Les and JB, with a repayment schedule that is very favourable. We also have a guaranteed bump in income next season if we stay in the top league. So staying in the top league has to be a priority. There's no point in paying off loans unnecessarily early if it means we get relegated. I think the balance we have right now is working pretty well. Brought in some money for Johnson, Pearson and Hall while blooding a number of youngsters. We have also done some good business by extending the contracts of Cadden and some of the youth prospects. If we repeat that over the next 2 or 3 years we should be in sound financial shape. Of course, if we get an big offer for a player we need to consider it, but we are already showing that we are in a stronger position to negotiate and we should continue down that path. We had figure in mind for Marvin and rather than rolling over (like prior years) we held out until we got that number. If Moult wants to (quite reasonably) move on, we should be able to get the same, or more, in June than we will in January.
  21. If he did end up in the EPL I'd be he'll score more league goals there than Mr. Jutkiewicz.
  22. Is 25 too young to join Grimsby? I'll never understand these UEFA Cross Border transfer rules.
  23. As was pointed out at the society Q&A we have absolutely no need to sell any players this window. So if any team wants to buy they are going to have to make an offer we can't refuse. If Moult continues his form and wants to move on, I doubt we'd have any problems selling him. 500k? They can have Craig Moore for that.
