Aye, but we're 11 places and 1 division above Falkirk. It's a difficult balancing act between finding the perfect time to sell off players for the best price and keeping players that will contribute to higher league placings (and hence more income for the club). Right now, we have a decent squad, balanced books and are gunning for 3rd place. I'd rather have that than be trying to win promotion from the First Division.

Undoubtedly that is part of the equation. However, other factors such as being an international, and being on a bigger salary factor into it. Most importantly, however, is the fact that more than one team was interested in buying him.

Might be worth a shot.

Naw.

Murray basically made Boyle's mistakes, but on a much grander scale (and with too much ego to recognize it).

I did, yes. But when you do finally catch up to my age you'll also inherit the "pedantic moaning auld git" privleges! Use them wisely, my friend

We had moving pictures of games before camera phones were invented, young'un.

Or Crawford Baptie's double (against Dundee I think) on his home debut.

I think their scouting team is taking the piss.

Was it not "the choir" back in the days of The Shed? I'd take that as a compliment.

And if we had offered him 2 or 3 years and he was a donkey, the "McCall Must Go" thread would be in meltdown. It's a fine line which the club has managed reasonably well recently, but tying up even one salary to a non-contributor makes a huge impact when you have such a small squad. And even if he was a free agent, he might still have only wanted a short term deal to see what develops over the summer.

Playing FIFA 2012 doesn't count.

McCall is on the record saying there will be no new signings due to budgetary constraints.

Faddy shone in what was a fairly average (to be generous) 'Well team. Rossco shone in one of the best squads we have had in recent memory. Probably in the minority, but even if both were fully fit, I'd be taking McCormack.

This, plus Porter.

On a Motherwell forum? Yir mad, I tell ye. Quite mad.

I don't recall a single post where you discussed their strengths.

Prepare to be disappointed...

That, as for Higdon, you have a pathological dislike of Forbes and nothing he does will change your mind.

Slow, however, is not the same as unfit. There are plenty of decent players that aren't speedy. Chris Porter is one that springs to mind right off the bat.

That's John "The Rile" Reilly and John "The Cat" Gardiner mentioned on here in recent posts. I think I need to go and lie down now.

Well, if you want to play devil's advocate, are we saying the moaners are negatively affecting the players? If the choice is better entertainment with a more enthusiastic crowd versus less entertainment surrounded by clueless abuse, then I'm firmly in the better entertainment camp.

Why is it an either/or? Life's never that simple. How about they turn up and show a wee bit more positive support? No need to be happy clappy.

Doesn't matter. What we are talking about are the fans that turn up every week and continually yell pointless, uniformed, negative comments.

Will you accept a reality cheque?
