True, but the odds are based on the betting volume too. So the more people that have a flutter based on the stories on the Aberdeen forum, or on Pie and Bovril, the shorter the odds become.I don't think that we can now ignore this story. Bookmakers know what they are talking about, it is their business too and the odds at the moment are strongly in favour of Brown. -
You'd have to think if Stark wants it he will get it.Media pish it wont happen, Billy Stark will get the job
Exactly. If we have a vacancy, you can guarantee there will be plenty of applications received. There are always more managers than jobs at the top level.Anyway if Brown and Knox go we will get someone else and as long as they do a good job i don't care who manages the team. -
Well he did say Motherwell would be his last job, but to be honest if he goes, he goes. He did what needed to be done at Fir Park i.e. brought some stability, and if he feels the need to step aside then so be it.This rumour appears to be growing arms and legs.Don't kid yourself that Brown wouldn't be interested should an offer be made.
I think he would be an idiot to take on Aberdeen at this stage in his career, but on the other hand, it's not going to affect his future prospects

Good critique of Mr. Kearney and his Dallas outbursts here.

I don't need anti bigot pills, a Celtic fan is a tim, a Rangers fan is a h*n, that's what I think and that's how I like it, if that makes me a bigot...

The wildlife and pensioners will be happier though.The powers that be were far to hastie calling off today's games. -
That might have been part of the problem. Most good managers want to bring in their own assistant, not get lumbered with whoever happens to be at the club.As far as i was concerned he had a job for life at Motherwell and im sure Boyle installed him as our assistant manager no matter who was brought in. He turned his back on that, burning bridges as he went. -
Encouraging your local club to use it is different from turfing (no pun intended) out your regular customers out with zero notice.

Bring back the winter break.

You certainly didn't manage to read what I wrote. I was parsing the article, not giving an assessment on Gannon's veracity.From the article"Finally, I find it staggering that Mr Gannon did not feel compelled to open two letters from the Scottish FA before conducting his latest media conference."
Take off your claret and amber glasses, they are clearly interfering with your ability to read.

Did you actually read what Dallas said in that interview? It supports Gannon's claims that his correspondence (or, at least, a significant portion of his correspondence) was ignored. Dallas just passes the blame onto the Post Office delivering it late - no wonder he switched to email, eh?Stuart Dougal has nothing to do with it. Jim Gannon went on the radio and called Hugh Dallas a liar. He said that he had gotten no reply and that gave him the right to spout drivel to the press when the letter was sitting in his mail. He commented on decisions that had nothing to do with MFC and went on a tirade against the full refereeing system.If you can't see why that approach is counter productive and bringing the game into disrepute I feel sorry for you.

If the police had said that, perhaps. But if the reason they put off the game was because the surrounding roads weren't safe, then presumably they are just as dangerous if you drive to The Fort as to Fir Park.If they were required to police them every time they opened for business like they are football stadia, they probably would. -
So, John Reid, who refused to resign over lying to the UK electorate over the reasons for invading Iraq, forces a ref to resign over lying over the reasons he made a correct decision?
You couldn't make this up. The sooner the OF and all their delusional supporters take their bigoted paranoia to the EPL (or Championship, or Atlantic League) the sooner we can drag our game into the 21st century.

They should be out there clearing the roads for everyone. And they should have been out there gritting/salting the roads before the snow started falling.Silly comment. If the snow was on Wednesday or Thursday the roads would be clear or clearer that they are at the moment..... it wasnt, it was today. Do you want the councils etc to get out there to clear roads just for football fans.When I lived in England we used to laugh at how useless they were at dealing with snow compared to Scotland. As the years have passed, it seems like the English approach to snow clearing has taken hold of the majority local authorities in Scotland.
-
He was due to be the 4th official at Fir Park today.Don't see any comment from the ref who is due to officiate at our game saying this,the Israeli ref that made this comment was a Mr Eli Hacman the guy that did the Killie v Aberdeen game,ours is Meir Levy he did the Hamilton v St.mirren game. -
I'm glad you don't look after snow removal where I live - we'd be waiting until April before you sent out the gritters.There is not point clearing snow while it's snowing or if more snow is expect, you just have to wait it out -
It's not exactly the first year this has happened, though. They just have an excuse this year.All these folk moaning about the roads and streets - you do realise there is a recession going on, yes? You do realise budgets have been cut and that means less money that councils can devote to winter preparation? -
You'd think with the money from ESPN we could (literally) buy ourselves an Italian ref.
-
It's a two-way street. How many players have come to Fir Park as a 'step-up' and failed miserably - a pretty big list. Football is pretty fickle at the best of times and the odds of being a success at any level are pretty slim.
As for those that have moved elsewhere, guys like Lambert, McAllister, McLair, Boyd and McCulloch managed to eke out a meagre living away from Fir Park.

If you don't think it has anything to do with Celtic then you need to catch up with the media frenzy Lennon and Reid have been stirring up. That is one of the reasons Craven quit.If the lie had zero consequences then why is Craven out of a job? The bottom line is an official in a game of sport lied therefore bringing the game into disrepute and should therefore be shown the door. Too many people saying he shouldn't go because then Celtic win. It had nothing to do with Celtic it's about an official bringing the game into disrepute & there should be nowhere back from there.As for the Ginger tit he should be dragged to Siberia & told to cool his jets coz he's seriously lost the plot.

The American system works (to some extent) because it's conducive to the structure of the game (i.e. punctuated by a succession of stops and commerical breaks). It also works because managing timeouts are a key part of game strategy, and coaches don't want to risk losing them.MAybe a system like the Americans use in the NFL. The bench get 3 chances to challenge the referee per half. That way their is hardly any time lost as they don't want to use up thier allotted "Claims" and risk having nonje lefdt should a major decision come about towards the end of the game whenit is crucialMost importantly, however, it works because *every* professional game that is played is covered about 20 cameras that cover every possible angle of every play
Even then, this is the second time around for instant replays in the NFL - the coaches hated it so much the first time around that they scrapped it. This time around they severely restricted it.
And for all that, just watch any random game on a Sunday afternoon and I guarantee you will see the commentators point out at least half a dozen bad calls made by the squad of officials - often ones that can have a big impact on the game. Case in point yesterday, the Cowboys punt returner that stepped out of bounds on his way to 97 yard touchdown run.

St. Mirren have scored more goals at home this season than Accies, St. Johnstone, Hibs, Dundee Utd and the same number of goals as ICT. So, I think we are kidding ourselves if we think they can't find the back of the net (at least in Paisley).Same old same old. Our inability to keep a clean sheet, especially against some teams who couldn't score a slate is continuing to kill us.Agree with the rest of what you said though.

We still contribute to the club's bank balance, so I think we count. Once I get my season pass for Motherwell TV, I'll feel more involved again, right enough.im overseas now and the day you leave you are no longer a fan in my eye'sive been back for denmark,flights booked for dundee utd away,cup semi and last game of the season though

In the Evening Times he says:i heard broon on clyde 1 earlier saying if blackman leaves in january then hes already got a striker lined up to replace him but his priority is keeping blackman for the rest of the season“But if he did go, it would give the likes of Esteban Casagolda a chance. There are always other players out there that we can look at.”

I think the problem was that he did fulfill his potential.
