  1. He may have a very negative outlook on the Scottish game but he says what he thinks and doesn't hide behind cliches

     

    I disagree. He says what he thinks will generate the most reactions from listeners. I don't have an issue with that as it's his job to pull in angry punters. I don't, however, confuse it with what he really believes.

  2. A goal isn't by any means a stretch of the imagination. Score first and it's on....

     

    Absolutely. And we proved last season that our team sets up well away from home. Even if we keep it scoreless until half time and then grab a goal, it could make for an interesting game.

     

    While being 2 - 0 up is obviously a big advantage, it can be a tricky score to defend and teams often get caught up between sitting in and looking for a 3rd.

     

    Or maybe I'm just being overoptimistic.

  3. The MFC TV site has a blurb saying:

     

    12/13 Season Coverage

     

    Motherwell TV provides video streaming of selected matches for all its fans - all Motherwell supporters who live outwith the UK and Republic of Ireland.

     

    A list of the selected matches for the 12/13 season will appear here in due course once we receive confirmation from the broadcast partners.

    So hopefully that won't be too far off.

  4. Don't get too worked up about it. No person of sane mind reads any of the rags up here anyway.

     

    Exactly. They exist to create fake outrage so the outraged readers can contact them to be outraged and solicit outraged responses.

  5. My apologies, i'll have to get my son to buy me the UEFA Guidlines manual 2011/12 version for my Christmas and brush up on the rules....sounds a crackin read!! Although it may be dangerous as it contains paper.......ooooo paper!!!

     

    If you hear a wooshing sound, that will be the point passing overhead.

  6. Now lets get this straight, they threw paper on the park.....Paper?? why is there such a fuss?

     

    UEFA frowns upon *anything* being thrown at players on the pitch to such an extent that they are prepared to dish out fines to the clubs.

     

    The club knows this and asked the fans to stop doing this.

     

    Some fans continued to do this.

     

    The club might now get fined.

     

    See why there is such a fuss now?

  7. there was a guy at the top of the south stand that spend all the game untill ojamaa got taken off writing notes .. had a peek and he was writing separate notes about ojamaa and higdon, someone from another club scouting, or maybe an away scout taking notes for the 2nd leg ?

     

    was steelboy taking notes for his next anti-higdon rant on here.

  8. The only thing that's pissing me off is the fact I managed to get down to Fir Park on time last night, got into the PoD without any hassles and there was no c**t sitting in my seat. So I've fuck all to moan about.

     

    That probably means you were sitting in someone else's seat!

  9. While we're moaning, the tannoys are still largely inaudible as well, and for the love of Christ will someone at the club have a word with the DJ about those fucking mash ups! Cringeworthy stuff.

     

    I mentioned this on Shoutbox last night, but the tannoy sounded good on the internet stream.

  10. mark mcghee led us to the exact same spot. should we not have questioned the signing of bob malcolm?

     

    also i predicted that higdon would score 17 goals. doesn't make him a player, his marking for the first goal tonight - again after the everton game - shows he is a liability. he is no less fat than he was last season.

     

    I don't recall Bob Malcolm contributing anything that led us to 3rd place in the league.

     

    Let's face it - you strive to be the dissenting voice. I'll bet you are one of those guys that loves to listen to unknown bands and then ditches them when they become popular.

     

    You complain that Ramsden's experience is worthless because it was League 2. Higdon's experience was not in league two and he did the job he was signed to do - but you complain about him too. No doubt you would have turned down the signing of Ross McCormack and Skippy due to their obvious lack of SPL experience. Likewise for Dougie Arnott with no senior experience in the game.

     

    The days of signing a Porter or a Jutkiewicz are long gone.

     

    You offer no alternatives, just criticisms that are, at times, laughable. When anyone points out the fallacies in your arguments you ignore them rather than defend them.

     

    Once you learn how to read a balance sheet, I'm sure you will start to appreciate the position Motherwell are in when it comes to bringing in new players.

  11. I don't see why you are so set against Ramsden anyway. He didn't have a bad game tonight. And he won't play teams of the same quality of Panathinaikos every week...

     

    steelboy needs a few players to hate. He is still upset that Higdon's goal tally helped us reach 3rd place. The fact that he continues to criticize the signings of a manager who has just led us out to a CL match speaks for itself.

     

    If anyone feels the need to question a new player's ability based on one competitive outing (in the CL!), then that also speak for itself. I remember hearing Arsene Wenger saying that when a player switches leagues it takes 6 months for them to adjust and settle in. I expect steelboy would disagree with that too, just for the chance to start another argument.

  12. i think he has been signed to play cb.

     

    he's no better than saunders, page or cummins, we should have used the money on a midfielder. obviously no ex-bradford holding midfielders available this summer....

     

    We signed him because he was cheap, experienced and can play in a number of positions.

     

    It might have passed you by, but we had no money to spend. I'm sure the club would welcome your input into who we could have brought in as a holding midfielder for the same price.

  13. IS IT A LONG WAY DOWN FROM THAT HIGH HORSE??????????

     

    All it takes is UEFA to decide to dish out a fine of 40 or 50 thousand quid (which is not exactly unknown) and we have lost a player's salary for a year. After all the efforts the fans have made to put extra cash into the club, that would be a real slap in the face - and all thanks to a few eejits.
