  1. GazzyB steal your password?

     

    Nah, I didn't say he was shit. He's obviously a gifted player that I enjoyed watching (although you could argue whether or not he made the most of that gift during his years at Everton in particular).

     

    I'm just saying I'd enjoy watch a new Faddy exploding onto the scene more than watching the old Faddy.

  2. now I know what most of you will be thinking.. "dont be rediculous" "outrage!" "its our history"ect.

    but when I thought about it more i started to come round to the idea of some changes.

     

     

    now as much as we love our C&A colours, what harm would it do to change them? well, I know a number of motherwell fans off hand that dont buy home shirts because they dont like the colours. I have never seen a non motherwell fan wearing a motherwell top. i mean most of us pick out tops from other leugues by colour of design, so to change to apeal to a bigger market would only do good for the club right?

     

    and to the people that say "its our history, tradition, ect". well, whats wrong with making our own history? i mean im not sayin we should remove everything that makes us who we are, but some changes for the better are good. i can imagine when our colours were changed from blue to C&A there was alot of people made unhappy by this, but they got use to it, and now its part of our history.

     

    anyway im interested in finding out what everyone else thinks and feels.

     

     

    and can you think of any other changes that might come up?

     

    Maybe set up a franchise team in Airdrie?

  3. Pure guess, but my money would be on:

     

    Nicky Law signs

     

    Jennings give a nothing interview about how he wants to stay at the club but is still weighing up his options before he decides his future.

     

    You read it here first. Don't waste your pennies on the Express. :P

  4. Worst Motherwell top since the Zoom effort. Is it yellow and burgandy? Really disappointed as the last strip was our best in years.

     

    So what is the difference between claret and burgundy? I don't notice that much when I'm drinking them.

  5. Wiki (for what its worth) says that he consistently topped the list of assists in League Two - so maybe the playmaker we are looking for.

     

    Or not. Who knows with Wiki? In fact, I'm going to stop writing now and get back to my coffee.

  6. These games have their purpose - getting us up to speed before the real business. A really vital part of preparation at that.

    They are indeed. However, paying to watch training isn't the most enticing offer.

     

     

    Granted friendlies might not recently have been the most imaginative or enthralling, played half arsed in fromt of a paltry half arsed audience - but surely we've got to be a wee bit more positive about a competitively priced game with the chance of a decent turn out? No?

    It's only a game if the sides are competing. Otherwise its just a workout.

     

     

    Alternative suggestions for preparing for a cometetive season an a postcard please

     

    Closed door games?

  7. Am I alone in thinking the jester one was pretty smart?

     

    Seems to be loved or hated in equal measure. I'm afraid I'm in the 'hate' camp, but then again, I was in the minority in loving the old 'yellow' Adidas one from the early 80s.

  8. I predict we won't make it through the first week of the season before someone says we are

     

    a) punching above our weight

     

    or

     

    b) riding the Motherwell roller coaster

     

    Far too early to make a prediction on the season when we are so far away from the transfer window closing. 10th or better will be just fine, but lets see how the squads line up first.

  9. abuse a footballer and you can get five years in jail.

     

    you *can* get can five years in jail. On the other hand a judge might give you a slap on the wrist and a few hours community service.

     

    however if you're a footballer and send pictures of your knob to a 12 year old you'll get a fine. makes perfect sense.

     

    you *can* get a fine. On the other hand a judge might give you 5 years in jail.

     

    See? The maximum sentences set out are just that; maximum sentences. That's why we have judges in place who take all the factors into account before making a decision on the appropriate punishment for each case.

     

    On the plus side, it does give amateur, on-line contrarians (and Daily Mail readers) the opportunity to make specious arguments.

  10. Interesting choice of word boyle has given the freehold of the stadium to the club along with his share

     

    Freehold and lease hold aren't recognised in scottish law if i remember rightly

     

    Scotland has 'feuholds' which are basically the same (I think) i.e include the property on the land.

  11. I would imagine if you did manage to fill the South, we could accommodate any extras in the Phil O'Donnell stand. Or just put on your best Motherwell accent and join the home fans in the East :P Doubt anyone 'Well fans would have a problem with that,

  12. Ah the East Stand, that explains it then. Stevie Kirk used to get abuse fae there as well mind. :rolleyes:

     

    Aye, Kirkie used to take pelters. But then again, so did guys like McAllister who wasn't a hard enough tackler for many of the experts propping up the stanchions.

  13. It was an interview with The Herald not a filing with the Stock Exchange. I imagine the actual details will be announced when the plan has been finalised.

     

    Still, at least it was another chance to keep your Dempster vendetta running.
