  1. The party atmosphere of 91 seemed to give way to a rather sterile build up to last years final. Perhaps just because I was 20 years older, but don't think so. Look at Brandon Parade a sea of C&A and compare it with some of the SKY footage on you-tube of last year, where it looked like they struggled to find anyone in Motherwell colours.

     

    Biggest difference between the two I think is we were on a good run of results prior to '91 and we were all pretty sure we were going to pick up that trophy.

  2. The fact that the club accepted such a low bid for Murphy in January was, frankly, embarrassing.

     

    It's also pure speculation as some of the papers down south were talking in the 500k range. That's the problem with these deas - details are rarely made public.

  3. Thing was it was the only thing it had. The supermarket next door to our Hotel had nothing on the shelves for the 2 days we were there. Desolate place.

     

    Was the home or away leg you're talking about?

  4. if you had paid attention to my posts after the morton friendly in july you would have known bradley, mckinnon, halsman, lawless, smith and howarth were never good enough.

     

     

    That's pretty impressive on the basis of one pre-season friendly. Were you one of the posters who wrote off Chris Porter and the Duke after their early performances?

  5. Is it just me that would rather play for less money, but play for a first team every week?

     

    He looked like a great player in the making for us, but then patched all that and moved to a team where the chances of a starting place in the first XI are between slim and fuck all.

     

    While he has to take some responsibility, when you are that age you depend on good advice from your agent and your family. I think it's fair to say he was badly advised in this case.

  6. Or replace caley with any number of teams in the First Division who manage to run a business without the buns money and still survive (Obviously not including Dundee or Livi in that!). Although they are both examples of what happens when you try to rise above what should be a level playing field.....

     

    I'm not disagreeing, and think we would have a viable league without them. Unfortunately, the Chairmen of most of the 'lesser' teams don't see it like that.

  7. Thing that gets me about El Tel's comments is that ICT have recently suffered relegation and managed to survive without the TV and Rangers dough. They even went on that spectacular away run which lasted well into their 1st season back in the SPL.

     

    Another bit of proof that we do not need Rangers in the SPL to survive.

     

    Of course, their counter argument will be the Rangers dough gave them sufficient funds to survive relegation.

  8. Champions League sleeve badges:

     

    We are waiting on final approval on this one. The first advice we got from the Official Supplier was that they could not supply us until we reached the group stages. This meant that we couldn't wear the sleeve badges or the "respect" logo.

    I made further enquiries and it appears that this is the case in the Europa league but not in the Champions League so the latest info I have is that we can wear them. I am just waiting on official clarification so we can place our order.

    Please note: The "Respect" logo is changing from last season so even if you find a shop that stocks them just now, it won't be the same as the ones that go on this years players shirts.

    As soon as I get Official clearance I will let you know both the pricing and delivery dates on here.

     

    Bet you never thought you'd see the day when you'd have to worry about Champions League regulations!

  9. From today's Times.

     

    Midfield stalwarts Keith Lasley and Steven Jennings, left-back Stevie Hammell, stopper Tim Clancy and reserve keeper Lee Hollis have all been offered new two-year deals.

     

    However, squad player Ross Forbes will be released along with several of the club's young reserve players, including strike prospect Gary Smith.

  10. Starting to think that the SPL and Clubs all know that the buns are fecked and keep delaying any votes so that they dont have to show their cards in public, knowing how bad the backlash from fans will be!

     

    Basically, we are all just waiting on them being liquidated and nature taking it's course and in the history books it will go down as a Third Lanark/Lehman Brothers type event......it could never happen etc....

     

    And then they'll buy Ross County (you heard it here first).

  11. Is that a legit quote? He seriously walked away from a multi-million pound business deal because some punters called him a Yank and told him to go home?

     

     

    Link up on the Beeb now shows fans with 2 banners:

     

    "TRUCK OFF MILLER - YANKS NO THANKS"

     

    and

     

    "MILLER TIME - NO THANKS TO ASSET STRIPPING YANKS"

     

    But it sounds more likely he was scared off when he finally had access to the accounts.
