Can remember us scoring one in 7-1 win at Clydebank in 81/82, either Irvine or Cleland?
Possibly Skippys first in THAT game?
That's the first one that sprang to mind for me.
And it was Bruuuuuuciieeeeeee

Going back to playing The Pet Shop Boys - Go West would be much better than those remixes!
That plus 'Soft Cell- Tainted Love' is all that's ever been needed at Fir Park.

Higdon.... Attacking.....
Centre Forward + Top Scorer = Attacking.

I would like to see Humphrey/Daley back in, not because im his only fan but the fact we can still have that attacking look to the team.
You mean Murphy, Higdon, Ojamaa isn't an attacking look?

I think the "big crowd, big letdown" is unfounded. Much like the "we always help teams end their winless streak" It's just that they tend to stick in fans' memories.

We found out pretty quickly on our journey to Denmark that Odense is pronounced nothing like how we say it. The 'd' is pretty much silent, it was pronounced locally more like "oons". Bizarre.
Aye, I'm sure everybody from Strathaven and Milngavie were scratching their heads over that one

Yes regularly.
I think he meant Motherwell games.

With our track record? Not atall unfortunately.
Since all the pitch problems were addressed, the only track record that counts is this season. As there haven't been any issue, it will be on.

Very interesting reading. It suggests that Jennings might be wise taking a yellow tomorrow night so he sits out the Celtic game.
[counting chickens] Do we not want to beat Celtic so we can move above Rangers that day? [/counting chickens]

I'd be happy with Carswell. If for some reason McCall doesn't fancy him, how about Ojamaa slotting into midfield and bringing in McHugh?
Or is that just an idea I should forget about untial after the caffeine has kicked in?

I know what you mean, find it quite odd and possibly worrying that we were going to allow this laddie (who has kick-started our season) to leave after a trial, as we couldnt offer him a decent deal
a) why the fuck did we have him on trial in the 1st place, if there was no cash about
b) why did we tell the boy that we couldnt offer him anything, before managing to find his 'bus fare' money when he begged for a contract
c) McCall reckoned that when he did sign that he wasnt sure if he was ready for the 1st team
d) why was the boy scratching about for a contract in the 1st place
It shows there are gems out there, its just a matter of finding them.
I don't think there is anything worrying about it all for a club in our position. We had zero money in the budget, so took a guy on trial who said he was more interested in playing than getting a 'big' wage.
From what McCall said, he looked decent during his trials, but there were still some concerns - in particular, he didn't manage to score one goal in all his games. Also remember this guy had bounced around a few teams without making a breakthrough.
However, we could get him cheap, so we signed him on peanuts until the end of the season to see how he worked out. Once he got his chance in the first team and proved himself, the board made an exception and allowed McCall extra money to tie him up.
I would argue, therefore, we took a low risk approach that has paid dividends. Of course, every manager has stories about players that passed them by. I read this morning that Fergie missed out on Joe Hart for 100 grand.

Aye I agree It will happen one day that was what I said in my first post
It will happen 2 days, no? Then we join the Europa Cup boys
-
A good manager will have the team 100% focused on the next game (and only the next game). So from that perspective, the players shouldn't be worry about 2nd or 3rd place. It's all very Zen.
The manager on the other hand should be ensuring he maximises the points we win from every game and let the final position take care of itself.
I think it was different last season, as we didn't have much to play for after the split, so McCall was resting players for the Cup Final. I didn't agree with that approach, but at least he had a plan. With so much at stake this season, I can't imagine a repeat of that even if we do get to another final.
-
Hibs, like St. Mirren, are a team whose tactics often match up well against ours, regardless of their struggles in other matches.
I still think we'll win, but it might not be as easy as yesterday's victory.
-
Rangers still on 61 points - wishful thinking from Aunty Beeb :wank:
Weird. Accessing it from the US (which serves some different pages) Rangers have been on 51 points since the day of the deduction. Just checked again and it still reads 51.
-
Why shouldn't folk let the SFA know about it if their own employees can't (or won't ) report it? Some were wetting themselves in the media to get Higdon done, yet there's no mention of this thus far apart from Motherwell fans reporting it.
Because it smacks of childishness.
If it's a stupid rule, then we should encouraging its removal, not its enforcement.

Weir's comments perhaps give a little insight into the thinking behind accepting Blackpool's offer for Jamie Murphy last month.
I think that's definitely part of it. Like steelboy mentioned, in the prior year we sold Reynolds. McCall said in a recent interview on MFC TV that when he took the job he was told to sell one player a season. I imagine for most clubs our size that can be the difference between profit and loss at the end of a financial year.
-
last season we had a transfer fee for reynolds, 3 euro games, 2 tv cup ties, two semis and a final.
i think it's safe to say unless we get third and back to the scottish cup final we will see a significant drop off in revenue.
Exactly. So we need to make sure we have plans to address the gap.
-
surely you don't want to get too focused on the 12 month accounting cycle?
Not at all. Just pointing out that, even with our relative success for 2011/2012 we are likely going to post a loss. So things like the Trust are very important to our continued success.

Isn't it great to know that our club is being run properly with a professional and competent management team at the helm. Our long term future is secure!!
It is, but according to the MFC Twitter update, Derek Weir also stated:
"Despite the positive performance of the team & a welcome increase in attendances, we are unlikely to record a profit in 11/12.

Hibs seem to able to do that to our defence. Maybe just our style of play, but guys like Riordan, Stokes, O'Connor, Griffiths etc. have been giving us a hard time for years.
