[The 'old Pics Of Fir Park' Thread]

Can confirm that is the one and only Pat Gardner. Signed from Dunfermline. Great passer of the ball but always a move ahead of team mates for which he got the stick!!!

I think your confusing 'a move ahead' with 'a week behind'. Arguably the worst player I can remember in a Motherwell shirt.

[St Mirren Games On Tv]

What has the viewing public done to deserve this?

It's the sequel to the thrilling 0-0 at Killie last season.

[Clear Out]

He could be shite for all we know, but I'd say his Motherwell career would come under "unproven". I remember someone on here writing off Jennings after two starts and two sub appearances, we can be a fickle bunch.

And let's not forget the people that had given Lukas zero chance of being a player.

[Gannon And The Press]

...not bad for a centre half (or deep-lying libero, as Gannon insists he was)

I thought that single quote sums up the guy perfectly.

[Is This Flow Spreading The Good Cheer?]

Who's that with 'Flow? It looks like a fat Alan Cumming

 

[Gannon And The Press]

That's a good point. When does 'Flows contract expire? He'll need to get cracking on the Motherwell TV effort otherwise I can see some talented internet whizz kid being given a chance.

[Jim O'brien]

No direct quotes from either party but as they say, no smoke without fire!

Aye, the press never gets the wrong end of the story with transfer speculation.

[Gannon And The Press]

Or, maybe he just made that comment without any specific players in mind just to keep everybody on their toes and stop complacency creeping after the club just picked up 2 awards.

[Gannon For Paperboy?]

*sound of dead horse being flogged*

[Gannon To Brighton?.....]

For what it's worth, as of Friday the bookies favourites for the Brighton job were:

 

Gus Poyet 9/2

Steve Cotterill 7/1

Teddy Sheringham 10/1

John Gregory 12/1

Peter Taylor 12/1

Gareth Southgate 13/1

Iain Dowie 13/1

Alan Curbishley 14/1

Tony Adams 20/1

 

Gannon didn't even rate a mention.

[Accies Game On 7th Nov]

To be annoyed I was really annoyed

You sound quite annoyed there, mate.

[Goals/games That Ruined Your Day.]

I blame the Clydesdale Bank.

[Accies Game On 7th Nov]

If it stays this way it will be a disgrace of a performance

You must be new here. That wouldn't come close to a disgrace by our standards. It wouldn't even be as bad as our Cup game against St. Midden.

[Accies Game On 7th Nov]

Stonewall pen.

 

Followed by a stonewall miss.

[Goals You Celebrated The Most]

2 TO REMEMBER.

Alfie Conn's wonder dribble from his own half and lobbing the keeper from 30 yards. 1500 poor souls at Fir Park saw it. Cannae even remember who against, genius about 1983/84ish.

East Stirling, I think. It was a beaut.

[Clear Out]

Pretty much in line with his earlier comments about short term plans, long terms plans, needing a few fresh faces etc.

 

His track record for bringing in new players has been excellent, so no worries there. I'm more concerned about which loanees he manages to keep.

[Scotland Youth Squads]

I can't believe he's not in the U-21's, that's ridiculous.

The Scotsman reckons Forbes might be in line for a place in the U-19s against Germany. Does he still qualify for that teasm?

[Goals/games That Ruined Your Day.]

I think the Airdrie replay was the worst one for me.

[Facebook]

I canne believe Motherwell are the first club in the SPL to do this but good move. People are finding the majority of their info on football from social media now.

We didn't have this social media malarky when I was a lad. Only email, news groups, mailing lists, IRC, bulletin boards and web sites

 

Is there going to much difference between the Facebook content and the 'fishul site?

[Accies Game On 7th Nov]

Aye, that's a shame. When I lived in Hamilton, I always enjoyed the Accies game. A whole load of us ('Well & Accies fans) would walk down to Douglas Park and stand together on the terraces. Made it even more important to win.

[Goals You Celebrated The Most]

I seem to remember the travelling support going a bit mental when Paul Mills scored the last gasp winner at East End Park.

 

Not nearly as important as some of the other goals mentioned here, but it felt like it at the time.

[Well V Jam Tarts Match Thread]

I think that ourselves, hibs and dundee united have now broken away from the other teams and will have our own battle for the european places.

After the Accies game we will have played everybody the league once. Even if all the results go against us, the lowest position we can be is 5th. That's not a bad showing while we are still very much in the early stages of rebuilding.

[Well V Jam Tarts Match Thread]

I know in recent games Coke has come in for some criticism due to his comparitive lack of form. Then I read this on the 'fishul site and was suitably impressed:

 

Gannon said: “Giles has got much more to offer than I was allowing him, we were playing this Milan formation where our three midfielders were more in the construction phase and allowing other people to attack.

I don't recall any posters coming up with this reason for the problems Giles was having

 

It just goes to show that fans (and I include myself here) are often pretty clueless about the game at this level of detail. Of course we can see when something goes wrong, but I doubt many of us spotted the attempted Milan formation - far less contemplated the finer points of the 'construction phase'.

[Well V Jam Tarts Match Thread]

Was out drinking Friday n my gf turned alarm off instead of putting it on snooze.

Separate alarm clocks are one of the keys to a happy relationship. They don't teach you things like that at school.

 

At least you caught a decent amount of the game.

[Well V Jam Tarts Match Thread]

Not exactly what was being being said on Tuesday night?

Shouldn't you be bantering on an Accies board tonight?
