'pathological dislike'
maybe it's just that i've seen them play and know their strengths and weaknesses?
I don't recall a single post where you discussed their strengths.

McCall will need to get some wheeling and dealing done during this window or our season goes down the toilet and we finish 10th and out both cups.
Prepare to be disappointed...
McCall has added striker Henrik Ojamaa to his squad but admits he will not be able to further bolster numbers during the January window.But the Steelmen gaffer remains adamant the squad at his disposal is more than good enough to reverse the current downward trend.
Motherwell have won just once in their last six SPL outings, and that came on December 10, when they beat St Johnstone 3-0 at McDiarmid Park.
McCall said: “We have got what we have got and I believe it is good enough. What must be remembered is the margins between success and failure in the SPL are very slim. I believe we will get back on track and these players will do that.”

to get back into the rhythm of playing football, formations, tactics, movement etc.
forbes obviously needs that as well but he clearly has problems with his basic fitness levels that he should be able to improve with through training (and if he is incapable he has no future as pro player). there were part time amatuer players in the queens park who looked in better condition than him the other week, how do you explain that?
That, as for Higdon, you have a pathological dislike of Forbes and nothing he does will change your mind.

surely he could be fiiter than he is?
a couple of seasons ago we had a corner at celtic park. they broke up the field and forbes was chasing back, the next thing you know craigan ran by him like he was usain bolt. for a young guy to be so bad at running is unexcusable.
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.

In fact he's worse than John Rielly
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.

I don't think I fall into the Happy Clappy or Boo Boy category but I was purely playing devils advocate for the sake of debate. Would you rather our average gate dipped by a thousand to keep the moaners away?
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.
-
So are they better not to turn up at all then?
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.
-
Out of interest, what is worse? A fan that turns up every week and makes the odd negative comment? Or a fan that only turns up for cup finals/european games?
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?

I look at all the comments in this post. Everyone saying it's not Higdon's fault. it's the tactics. We've been saying for months that he doesn't get the support he needs etc etc. Well, if we can see that, how come the manager can't!
Some managers haven't noticed Hateley can't play in midfield. They all have their own ideas about how they want to play the game.

Are the alarm bells ringing for some well fans,is McCall being found out or will he get us back on track ?
Alarm bells will ring for some fans if we win the league but get knocked out before we reach the group stages of the Champions League.
If any fan thought we would stroll our way to 3rd in the league then this is either their first season following the club or they have lost their grip on reality.
Every team in the league goes through spells of good and bad form and good and bad luck. What separates about 6 or 7 clubs in the SPL is how they capitalise on the good form and how they minimize the impact of the poor form.
Right now, we are in a bit of a trough, but it's hardly time to panic. It's time to roll up the sleeves, dig in and grind out a couple of ugly wins. Some of that will be down to the manager and some of it will be down to the players themselves.
Our aim every season should be to look for a top 6 finish, and only after we achieve that should we worry about 3rd/4th/5th. Unfortunately, the other teams pay their players too, and they also want to finish in the top 6 - so those sneaky buggers try and win every game, even when it's us they are playing.
The last thing we need to be doing is changing managers at this stage of the season. McCall hasn't had the chance to work through a complete league campaign yet. We're not going to be relegated, and have time to regain some form. So let's see how the rest of the season pans out.
For us auld yins, any season we aren't battling the drop is already a success.
Of course there are things we'd like to see changed, but messing around with a winning formula when we were 3rd is not the time to do it. Now we do need to make a few changes, they won't all work, and even if they do work, they won't necessarily work the first time we try them.
A couple of home wins, and we'll start seeing posts on here again asking when the Europa Cup qualifying rounds start (which will be just as premature).

I agree regarding the links to MFC tv, there should be a more obvious login/signup link.
After a few suggestions from myself and others on here, the official site does now have the MFC TV link in a prominent position on the home page.

righty oh. Just signed up for this because becuase i've just moved to Oz and im sick of text commentry from the BBC when im abroad. So, whats the "Live Audio Commentary" on matchdays like? I know i'll find out myself tomorrow, but just want a heads up so as i dont get over excited about it and end up left dissapointed.
Cheers
Imagine the Radio Scotland commentary and how bad that is.
Now imagine the opposite of that. That's what it sounds like

I'm gojng to say 2-1 Well, but MJC could very well have an unusually correct prediction!!
Blind squirrels. Nuts. etc.
-
My only prediction is that ICT will end the game with 10-men and Big Tel will be ragin'.
-
Spoke to Steven on Saturday and he says he's 3 weeks away from resuming training.
Hopefully he'll be back competing for a cup final place.
I didn't realise the pre-season Lanarkshire Cup friendlies had started up again.
Good news that he is on the mend.

The only time sutton got a run of games in his correct position at motherwell was the last 5 months of last season and he was excellent in that time.
He was excellent because he had Jeffers making tons of space for him. If he was in our current team, 4-5-1 and 30 yards from the midfielders, I doubt he would have scored the 9 that Higdon has.

Probably 1991
*Oh Dont start that pish again*
I was on holiday when we played Morton on that Cup run. So I didn't have to endure all the stress of that particular tie - just picked up the paper next morning and read we had made it through.
-
Could have been worse, but this will be a hard game for us and is most definately a potential 'banana skin'.
Can you not just be happy that your team scored 4 goals at the weekend and made it to the next round? (Although I heard Arbroath put up a decent showing).
-
why can a percentage of all ticket and season tickets sale go towards the disable facilities after all we're all Motherwell fans?
It probably does - but our turnover isn't likely enough to cover that plus all the other operating expenses.
Bring Back Sutton!
