I hope their Director of Football at least borrowed Burrow's phone and made the call. Otherwise he does even less than I thought.

Poor St Mirren might never earn that right to play football now.

Do you at least know it's not a real ox we're talking about?

I'm in general agreement about the masked thuggery, but I'm OK with this guy: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c0rj2kq978qo “A masked fan unplugged a video assistant referee (VAR) monitor in a German second division match on Sunday as the referee went to the pitchside screen to check a penalty award“

Just when you thought the sectarian bigotry was bad enough, the thugs managed to set the game back another 50 years yesterday. 10 point fine for both, would be a good start, but the authorities will bottle it and make excuses. Away win for this game

Going down to 9 men blew it. When it was 10 v 10 we were well in the game. Also, we had what everyone agreed is our strongest 11 start yesterday, so no guarantees. I keep saying you need a slice of luck to win a cup. St Mirren's pen award is a great example.

So is Ox going to be the only Motherwell player to make it to a cup final this year? Assuming New Zealand don't pull of a shock, obviously.

Bugger. Take your pick...

Good interview with Mark Reynolds - still a big fan of his boyhood team.

We'll need a bigger squad so we can target that and our proper league title challenge.

Our best chance is next year.

I read the Just story, and it all said was he was on Celtic's radar. I'd hope that was true for many clubs, because if your recruitment team isn't watching the players playing football with the Best Team in the UK (copyright Chris Sutton), then they aren't doing their job. Was good to hear the Chairman talk about our new approach to selling. I have no doubt we will see a few move on in the summer, but not on the cheap - which could rule out the OF.

He was pretty vague last week, but I think he said Johnny K would be available again "in the spring".

Hope you enjoyed the walk!

Don't forget the Walking Football leagues.

I see the Daily Record have run out of people saying "JBA is going to Celtic" and are now running with Ross McCormack saying JBA will snub Celtic and go to the EPL.

You think the players let him win?

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. It's ridiculous that after selling MIller, we improved the quality of our midfield. It's the best combination I have ever seen at Fir Park. Imagine Gary McAllister lining up beside Just, Watt and Fadinger.

If he had a pound for everyone who laughed at one of his jokes he need change for a pound.

Clean sheet for Ox tonight as Kettlewell loses his game in hand to keep Ross County in last spot.

£20m. Could we raise that if we sell 3 of our midfielders + JT?

Talking about transport infrastructure, read this today about Everton's new stadium: Everton are asking fans to complete “experience surveys” after every home game this season. The feedback about the stadium has been overwhelmingly positive, unsurprising given the club spent approximately £800m to build one of the finest venues in Europe, and will shape changes that can be made. The main criticism in the surveys, and from the Fan Advisory Board’s meetings with the club, has centred on the transport infrastructure around Hill Dickinson Stadium.

I don't think it's parochial to look at the investment (or lack of) in the local infrastructure in the last 25 years and have concerns about the likelihood of future spending.

Sell JT ASAP in the summer, because I still think he might be a 9 or 10 goals a season striker elsewhere next season, including Fir Park

The league challenge is ridiculous and every week I expect the wheels to come off. But here we are on Monday after making up ground on 2nd and 3rd and extending the gap to 5th. Making the most of it while it lasts.
