Is that how long it takes to chase boys now? That's very scientific.Took you 24 years? What have you been doing, chasing boys?

Was happy to see Utd win yesterday. They didn't show up for the Cup Tie and I was worried that our league game would be their bounce-back performance.
Having said that, they have arguably been the form team of the SPL these past 8 or 9 games, so it will no doubt be a battle. Can see us taking an early lead again, but Utd. coming back for a draw.
-
Based on our recent hot & cold performances, that was a great result - especially bearing in mind the injury and suspension situation.
-
I think that depends on the date of the signing. What I took from the article I read was that if you sign on or after April 1st then next season comes into play. Sign on March 31st and that isn't necessarily true.One of the reports said that signings of this type were to be made with the intention of the player being here next season.
It wasn't exactly well explained, however, so I could be completely wrong (and not for the first time).

From Wiktionary:What kind of green? As long as its lime green or turquoise green
"petrol blue
(UK) a greyish blue colour, tinted with green."
So we have 'petrol', 'blue' & 'green' - everyone happy now?

Driving back home to England on Sunday morning and buying every newspaper I could at Gretna Services to read all about it again half a dozen different times.

There's only one man that can fix this mess . . . .

we need to stay away from loans and one year deals next season. there seems to be some sort of myth that jim gannon was some sort of transfer market guru but the facts are that he got the same level of financial backing as mcghee but couldn't sign us one player who will be a sellable asset for the club (even malpas managed that).
McGhee had a complete squad when he arrived whereas Gannon barely had a team. His stated strategy was to strike the short term balance while he worked on the longer term development of the younger players.
The reason he has a good reputation on transfers (at least with me) is that his actions backed up his words. Every single player he said he was going to sign was signed a few days later. Who knows what he would have done in the next couple of transfer windows, but based on the quality of players he did bring in, I'm sure he could have added more quality (and value) to the squad.
I'm still waiting for McGhee's big centre half.

Goes back further than that - Joe Wark was the last man I remember having the benefit of a player in space when he took a shy.Honestly, we've not been able to benefit from a throw in since the early nineties, theres just nae movement

I don't even remember the score (I think it was 0-0 or 1-1), but the night Stevie Kirk got sent off at Love Street after an 'incident' with Billy Abercrombie. Abercrombie eventually followed him, but not until he had been given 2 red cards (and received a 3rd in the tunnel). You don't get to witness things like that very often.
Other memorable games would include the 5-4 Killie match, 2 - 0 win at Cowdenbeath in the Cup, the 1 - 0 last game of the season at Tynecastle that, thanks to Killie knocking in 6 in their game, prevented Hearts being promoted, winning 7 -1 at Kilbowie against a good Clydebank side, Brian McLair scoring 5 goals in consecutive games against the OF, Joe Wark (unusually for him) gifting a goal to Hearts and then playing like a man possessed to ensure we beat them 4 - 2 and, of course, the Cup Final.

It will end up along the lines of "Lift-off" or "Booster", mark my words. "Leg-Up" might make the cut, but "Leg-Over" probably won't.

In France and Germany the tickets are really fairly price...
I'm a big fan of the German model, but the fact that they get 375 million quid a season from TV helps keeps those ticket prices down. Imagine what we could do with 30 million guaranteed every year.
-
No point in blaming Doncaster for that one. The chairmen screwed over the fans with TV deals long before he arrived on the scene.

So that's a "no" then.If I told you I'd have to kill you.

Like working out why you signed up for them in the first place?I delete them unread, he might not have anything better to do with his time, but I have.

If you're Ross Forbes it is the pelters.This is a kind of chicken and egg comment? What comes first? The pelters or the misplaced pass?
Give a player some encouragement and he might do something positive.♠Football fans are the same up and down the country. The more misplaced passes the more pelters. Give a crowd something to be positive about and they will be positive.
I agree up to a point, but if you look at all the negativity around this place when we started the year with a decent wee run in Europe (playing to our seeding) are sitting in the top 6, and heading to a SC Quarter at the weekend, then I think it's easy to show we are less tolerant than many other team's fans. There were people calling for McCall to get the boot before he even sat in the manager's chair.
In the 40 years or so I have been watching this shower, this is definitely one of our more sucessful seasons.
-
As soon as the players stop taking pelters for one misplaced pass.If we can afford to play some decent stuff then when are we going to start playing it?
-
You're making me feel old. I was at that game - unfortunately the team didn't turn upIts 30 years ago today that Ally Mcleod took his Motherwell side to Tanadice in the quarter final of the Scottish cup. Lets hope we do better on Sunday than we did that day we lost 6-1.
To be fair though, that was a Dundee Utd side who could take 6 off anyone on their day,

Rangers & Celtic will never drop the religious side of things
God knows we have enough spare seats.

Which, of course, is the biggest argument against 10-team SPL. More teams scared of relegation = more survivialist football.The key factor is that both of those teams you mention are usually involved in a relegation battle, so they don't really have the option of trying to play good football. Survival is their number one priority, and rightfully so.
Motherwell on the other hand are usually in the middle to upper regions of the table, so we certainly can afford to play some decent stuff.
-
Often by meI've been saying exactly that for some years now grew and been castigated for it.
First of all, our most recently successful teams have been full of skill players. Of course you need one or two ball winners, but there seems to be an attitude in Scottish football that fit and hard is more important than being able to pass a ball or beat a man.
More importantly for me, I know we aren't likely to win the league in my lifetime. So watching the games is with a view to being entertained. If I had to watch a style of play like St. Mirren or the current Accies team every week, I would give up. When I want to see players running hard and knocking lumps out of each other I switch on the rugby.

Was that another "must-win" game we won tonight?
