Cheers for the info guys certainly clears it up a bit.
That was my initial question & if what Andy says is true then there is a weeding out process going on peoples credentials. Don't know if i like this idea as lets be honest if some complete numpty was a candidate they wouldn't get voted in so why not just let everyone who put their hand up have an equal shout of getting in.
Where did Andy say there was a weeding out process?

Some amount of pish on this thread.
'There's no leg room in new stadiums!'
Jeesy peeps.
Aye, but you're probably one of those people that thinks there's leg room on a plane too.
-
Ach what the hell...seen this one recently..has the holy grail of pissy wee new stadiums...'filled in corners'..only 12k seats too which is ideal for us.
Would be nice, but cost 25 million. More than 3 times the cost of a Barr effort like St. Mirren Park.
-
Youv been away too long. We can level many things at st mirren& all the other new grounds, but lack of leg room & general space, is not one of them!
I do come home from time to time you know, and go to the games. The only place I get legroom these days is at the cinema.
-
Love this "soulless" "flat pack" "legoland" shite people trot out when we talk about new stadiums. Its a fucking pile of bricks,the soul and atmosphere comes from those within it and those on the park!
It's not just about atmosphere. If you are sitting on a wee plastic seat with your knees on your chin and shoulders wedged between your two neighbours then it can be a miserable experience.

Apart from maybe playoff tickets, I don't see much evidence of it in American sports. At least round here, the economy is such that the New York baseball and football teams have had to reduce ticket prices across the board. They built fancy new stadiums and tried to hike their prices, but crowds dropped off.
When I first moved over here, there was 10 year waiting list to get New York Jets season tickets (and they were even worse then than they are now). The list was closed.They have burned through that list the past couple of years to the extent that they are advertising season tickets for sale on the telly. Not only that, but they have a whole load of tickets for sale at $50 a pop.
Similarly, the Yankees were in a battle for the pennant a couple of weeks ago and yet on Stub Hub you could pick up tickets for many of their games for less than $10. One game they were offering $4 tickets.

You can't really get away from the 2 options of redeveloping Fir Park and moving and the former isn't feasible. The clock is ticking and the club must take a clear decision.
I don't see how the latter is feasible either.

Racist Ron Atkinson.
Or Frazzie.

He's useless and will definitely get us relegated. What were the club thinking? They took far too long to find someone so there is no time to bring in any new players now. It's going to be a long hard season.
-
If I was living back home, moving to a lego stadium would run me very close to attending less matches. Unless there was terracing involved - then I could be persuaded.

These days, it's just as easy to read electronic mags on the bog as paper ones. I'll bet there are a fair percentage of posts on here these days that are sent from the stalls.

2-0 united. Bottle gone
We shipped 2 goals to Celtic. They shipped 4 to ICT.
If we get an early goal I think we'll win by a couple.

He is scottish in the football world.
Born in England to 2 Scottish parents makes him 100% Scottish in my book. My criteria for Scottishness/international football have always been:
a) Born in Scotland
or
b) At least one parent born is Scotland.
c) No exceptions.
But that is another thread. As far as this one in concerned I don't see any chance McCall will even be invited to talk to Blackburn, far less get offered the job.

Another option could be a Downloadable copy - Same price no printing costs.
If it was downloadable, I'd buy it.

Player for player, Celtic are probably better in every position except for keeper. When they perform, there isn't a team in the SPL that will compete with them.
-
Looks to me like we have been holding out to see what happens to Faddy before signing this guy.
Wikiepdia (for what it's worth) has him listed as centre-mid.
EDIT: maybe not Wiki, but I found it somewhere earlier in the thread!
EDIT EDIT: Found it. Says he's a right footed midfielder here, but no idea how accurate.
-
More importantly though we need to smack the SPL clubs into touch as their attempts for the most part at YD has been laughable
A signifcant problem is fans (and boards) don't have the patience. Even at a club like ours who depend more on young players, there are far too many people in the stands who expect a level of consistency that is just not possible with a young team.

You'd have to be mad to want that job. Shebby Singh is like a mental version of Romanov.
Of course, there will be plenty of applicants.

I'll be delighted to just avoid relegation this season.
Lies.
a) You have never been delighted by Motherwell.
b) If we finish a point above relegation you will posting on here every week about how awful the team is, and then in June, about what a terrible season it was.

Play to win
In countries that are more successful than we are (which is most of them these days), playing to win is what you do after they develop you as a footballer. That is one of the reasons we struggle converting our national U-21 team into a successful national senior team.

He ran thru the entire macedonian team and scored in late 2009
Around 2008 - 2009 he was also in the teams that lost 1 - 0 to Macedonia, 4 - 0 to Norway and 3 - 0 to Wales, drew 0 - 0 with Northern Ireland and drew 0 - 0 with Wales.
Of course he has a load of talent at his disposal, but he has had the kind of injuries that can wreck a career and unless we could get his services at a serious discount (which we couldn't when we tried) I see it as too big of a gamble.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle here and don't expect many people to agree with me. I just think the timing is all wrong for the club and, moreover, McFadden himself.

You usually deal in facts , disappointed you resort to exaggeration with this subject
It was a typo on the 3 years (I meant 2), but the stats are thus:
He played 8 games on 2011/2012 season, 7 of them as a sub.
He played 8 games in 2010/2011 season, 2 of them as a sub.
A player that I've watched lift an entire stadium of fans many times in the last ten years, and take on whole teams when others were hiding and passing the buck to him
Sadly, I haven't seen much of that in the last 5 years including his last spell at Birmingham.
But yes we need a central midfielder or at least a manager that will at least try and develop a youth player instead of fucking about with defenders in there
On that we agree.
Most importantly, I have seen nothing to indicate he is interested in playing for us right now.
-
Young teams are always going to be inconsistent. In some ways I'm sorry we got our TV deal as I would have liked to have seen the SPL clubs working on development of home grown talent for a few years. In other ways, I'm glad we got our TV deal because I would very quickly get pissed off by the significant number of fans who would be endlessly moaning that sometimes young players aren't as consistent and experienced as the best senior players we used to have at Fir Park.

The one that upset me most when I was younger was losing to Airdrie in the Scottish Cup semi replay.
