  1. With Fizzy at left back i'd be expecting us to focus our attack down the right hand side and put the game out of sight before half time, County will be up for a scrap but we are miles ahead of them in footballing terms and if the players go into this with the right mindset it should be a fairly comfortable victory.

     

    Normally, yes. But when you look at league results of teams playing the weekend in between a 2-leg Euro tie, they tend to be pretty underwhelming. I'm sure County will looking to take advantage of that.

  2. No thanks. Mate supports Rochdale and reckons Thomson must have compromising photos of all the managers he's played under..

     

    I don't know if we are interested or not, but one fan's view is pretty meaningless. We can't even agree on here how good/bad our own players are.

  3. I don't foresee a problem here. If you arrive at the ground to find a big bit of coloured paper on every seat including your own and don't know to hold up the thing then you shouldn't be allowed out the house.

     

    Exactly. Reminds me of the Eddie Izzard piece about flying. "Why do they tell you how to fasten your seat belt? I feel that knowledge should be a minimum requirement before stepping on a plane".

  4. I think MJC is pretty funny.

     

    He totally encapsulates something that is without doubt part of being a Motherwell supporter. The gnawing subliminal fear that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong.

     

    I don't disagree, and it makes me laugh to see his posts - a number of which I don't think he believes himself. The key, though, is it should only be a 'part' of being a 'Well supporter, not an entire philosophy.

     

    The irony being that, in 40 years' time he will undoubtedly end up as the auld yin with the tartan rug and flask of soup in the POD (or wherever) moaning to the youngsters how great a team we had in the McCall era compared to the current shite. :nod:

  5. Well if we're going on to base things on second hand stories I've been told that one off the gaffers problems is that he will go to any lengths to make sure his mates boy gets a game.

     

    In a job that is based 100% on results, not picking your best team every week would be mental.

  6. Be careful with sun screen ratings as US made sun screen uses a different system for rating the SPF and they cannot be compared to european brands. US brands such as Nivea seem much higher protection when in fact they are lower. Go for something like Aldi own Lacura brand, UVA and UVB and 5 star rated. Also much cheaper.

     

    Not so sure about that. SPF 45 means that 45 mins slathered up in it in the sun is equivalent to 1 minute not slathered up in it. I don't know any other interpretations, and this one is from the American Cancer Society.

     

    If that wasn't the case, I think I'd have seen the lawsuit by now.

     

    Regardless, slap it on, wear a hat, drink plenty of water and stay in the shade as much as possible. I'm a big fan of the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer as even at high SPFs you don't end up sweating like a fat lass.

  7. This will be him then.

     

    Wiki

     

    Should we take this as a hint that Randy is away shortly?

     

    Stewart apparently said he left Morton for regular football elsewhere.

     

    If he is looking for regular football, he might be disappointed. Even if Randy is away, I think Hollis is a banker to be first choice.

  8. Of course it's not an impossible task - it's what used to make the straight knockout format of the European Cup so much better than the CL.

     

    However, it's a formidable task and while I fully expect the players to believe it's an attainable feat, as a fan, I won't exactly be shocked if we don't make it to the next round.

  9. I was thinking that myself - melting in the tropical weegie heat!

     

    Ach, don't worry, you'll manage just fine. I get by with SPF 45 (although they sell up to 100 in the shops here). Last couple of weeks it was between 38 and 40C here some days and even a peely-wally bloke like me copes in that.

     

    Wear a hat and, more importantly if you are on the booze, stay hydrated. Basically drink as much water as you do alcohol.
