  6. Scottish Football

    in Club Chat

    Posted

    There are many more young Scottish players coming through the ranks these days than in recent years. Even the OF are using a lot more home grown players. You can't create them overnight, however, so short term there will still be a mix of overseas and local talent in Scottish teams.

     

    So, in other words, I think your basic premise is wrong :wallbash:

  8. Mcghee Talks About Leaving Fir Park

    in Club Chat

    Posted

    Alright I'll re-phrase that.

     

    He says we will NEVER leave Fir Park. Is that better?

    If he said "never" then he hasn't quite grasped the concept of democracy and/or kickbacks. However, to quote my favourite TV judge, I wouldn't trust anything a Lanarkshire councillor said if their tongue came notarised.

     

    There were councillors that told my parents a supermarket would never be built behind their house. Then Safeway had a wee chat to Mr. Dewar and his cronies and guess what happened?

    As for Mcghee 'only doing a job...of course his is! He may not be 'a motherwell man' but that doesn't impact on his ability as a manager.. I'm sure there are many of our team who are not 'motherwell minded' but they do a job and have a want to do well for MOtherwell FC which imo is the most important thing!
    Exactly. He may not be a Motherwell Man, but neither was wee Tommy, and he did no' bad.

     

    I have been a big critic of McGhee's words and actions in the past. However, he made his choice to stick with us this season, even if it was at the airport, and I'm happy to support him and his team.Of course, that doesn't mean I won't moan about some of his decisions, but I still think he has the ability to turn the season around and move us up the table.

  13. January Transfer Window

    we are almost accepting relegation and doing NOTHING about it.
    I think that's being a wee bit overdramatic :unsure: Even if we added nobody to the squad, I don't think there is any danger of us being relegated.

     

    We will always have problems attracting quality players because we can't afford big transfer fees or big wages. Bosmans aren't much better, because the players expect to get a big signing bonus instead.

     

    Can anybody even name 2 or 3 commanding centre halves we should be pursuing that fall within our budgetary constraints?

  14. Increasing The Gate?

    I agree telly is here to stay, but it is still the biggest factor in smaller crowds. So get used to that too.

     

    We could let the fans in free every week and I guarantee we still wouldn't come close to filling the ground.

    While cost is a factor, I still think the simplest solution to increasing the gates is to have all games kick off at 3pm in a Saturday afternoon. The staggered kick-offs and saturation of live games on the telly means only the diehards are going to attend a game.

    The guy has the potential to be an excellent manager. He has spent a long time researching and studying the methods of top European clubs, and knows how he wants the game to be played.

     

    The biggest problem he has appears to be dealing with the Board. At his last two clubs he has fallen out with the Chairmen because he didn't get exactly what he wanted, exactly when he wanted it.

     

    Similarly, when he was being touted for the Scotland job, he basically talked himself out of it before he was even interviewed, by mouthing off about what a poor job the SFA were doing, and what would need to be changed before he deemed it worthy of consideration.

     

    If he can keep that side of his ego in check, he could do well at Forest. He certainly likes his teams to play a bit of football, which should suit your club.

    I think the OF make up a very small minority of that. Most of them are folk like ourselves who can't make it to many games due to the distances involved, or have to pick and choose due to finances. The Dossers were flying in from around the globe for the Cup Final - that just isn't going to happen for ICT.

    So many to speak off...however standing at Swinecaste in 1982 watching the 'Well pump Hearts 1-0 ....and as a consequence denying them promotion to the Premier League !!! Fantastic. Oh how we laughed. :mellow::P:P
    I was at that game too. Didn't Killie have to win by something like 5 goals as well to make sure a draw wasn't good enough for the Jambos to go up; and Killie were winning 5 - 0 at half time.

     

    Also, Willie Irvine's goal made him top scorer for the season, and took him to 30 goals.

     

    It's been a while, so none of these 'facts' might be true :P

     

     

    Grand day out.

  24. Favourite 'well Player Ever

    Of all the squads that won nothing was there any other that contained as many players held with such affection?

     

    Or is it just a generation thing for those of us who stepped onboard the rollercoaster in the early to mid 70's?

    Well, I think it was a better squad than the ones I watched win the First Division ;)
