the full team played well against hibs and the thread got bumped. this thread is about higdon and he is playing poorly.
I see you are still flip-flopping between individual and team performances to suit your arguemnt. When you are praising Mark Reynolds, it's all about how the *team* wasn't conceding goals when he played, but when you are attacking Higgy, it's all about how it's only him that is performing poorly.

Rangers have screwed over everyone by virtue of paying for their players with your yes your money and taxes and definitely your season ticket money.
None of that has been proved yet.
They came to our ground and invaded it and persuaded the SFA (as then) it was just a little problem.
You need to get over that one. It has nothing to do with their current financial plight.
Tell you what our directors. We are bigger than this let them go to division 3.
You don't get relegated to Division 3 just because you enter adminstration.
If not I walk from this club.
The only person that suffers if you do that is yourself.
I'm all for punishing them for their offences to the fullest possible extent, but I want to wait until those offences have been proven so we know what we are dealing with.

There is more chance of Craig Whyte being given the freedom of Govan, than us beating this mob.
Take your pick from...
Rangers 6 - 0 Motherwell
Rangers 5 - 0 Motherwell
Rangers 4 - 0 Motherwell
Rangers 3 - 0 Motherwell
Sad, but true. If you told me Rangers were going to pick 11 'Well fans from the stand to play against us, I still reckon we'd find a way to lose against this mob
I'm waiting in hope for the day I'm proved wrong, but our record against Rangers is dire and I never expect anything more than a 2 or 3 goal defeat.

It's always tight at the end of the season - which is, of course, why threads like this are premature.
I'd still rather be where we are than where Dundee Utd. or St. Johnstone are. Far too soon to be thinking about second, but also too soon to panic as St. Johnstone and Dundee Utd. will be dropping points too.

He also said in an interview that he feels we have a "terrific product" and don't need fix what isn't broken.
To be honest, even though I don't agree with that point, I have no problem with managers talking up our game. Hype did wonders for the EPL to extent many people actually believe it's The Best League in the World (copyright Sky 2012).

I actually agree somewhat with Kenny Shiels on this (and no, I'm not high). I read him in The Herald yesterday saying that he felt we needed an independent body to assess these things in regard to what was best for football overall in this country.
His point was that what was of benefit to the chairman of Kilmarnock was not necessarily beneficial to the Scottish game and each team is likely just going to vote to meet their own needs.
-
It's a tough call because i have never seen Motherwell lift a trophy, having said that I've never seen them play in the CL and certainly never expected to see that in my wildest dreams so I'm voting for the CL. We have the opportunity to lift a domestic trophy every season, granted we have only made 2 finals in my time but I still think that this is a one-off to be savoured.
I think that's a fair point. For those of us lucky enough to have been at Hampden when we won the Cup, the chance of a CL game in our lifetime is possibly a more attractive option.
If you haven't seen us win a Cup, then I can see how that would be a better option.
-
So Clubs don't have a crack at a National Cup or even league restricted Cups? In the UK think of the finalists of the FA Cups in recent years. A lot of lower league teams. If you still can't realistically progress in those there will be Cups you can aim for. JPT (massive deal to Carlisle fans last Season) and even the Challenge Cup up here.
I didn't say they couldn't have a crack, I'm saying that 90% of them aren't going to win. If all that matters is winning, then they should pack up and go home.
-
Summed up perfectly, MJC. Football should be about WINNING trophies.
So 90% of the teams in the world should just give up playing the game then?
-
I'd rather win the League Cup than be papped out of the CL qualifying stage by a Spanish team. No contest.
I agree with that, but it would be nice to play in the CL once in my lifetime. Then we can focus on cups again

-
For all his failures, you've stlll not beaten ( or scored against him) as boss.
I'm sure we'll reflect on that just before our Champions' League campaign kicks off.

In no particular order (and limiting it to players I have seen play)
Keith McCrae
Joe Wark
Peter Marinello
Vic Davidson
Bobby Graham
Willie Pettigrew
Gary McAllister
Brian McLair
Tommy Coyne
Tom Boyd
Ross McCormack
Brian McLaughlin
Tom Forstyh
Gregor Stevens
Paul Lambert
Brian Martin
Mitchell Van der Gaag
Ally Maxwell
Davie Cooper
Bobby Watson
But ask me in an hour and I'd probably have half a dozen changes

-
Pal of mine was talking to some of the players at the last sign up and apparently the whole 1st team have signed up. Don't know why names aren't up though.

Agree with all the responses on here. It's sad when you lose a parent, but it's something we all deal with sooner or later. Give the lad the time off he needs, but not an event that should disrupt an SPL fixture.
-
I'm still not sure what 'going for 2nd' means. It was obviously a special case post-split last year where McCall believed that keeping players fresh for the cup final was more important.
This season he is sending out teams to win as many points as possible each week. Keep doing that and the league position will take care of itself.
-
Who cares.

Who were the bruisers in that team today?
Dillon I'll give you... I don't see any others.
Every time we play them they try and stop us playing by brute force.
-
we will probably be the only team that can't beat them

Dundee Utd's style (i.e. bruisers that like to lump balls and players) matches up well against Rangers. They are always going to be more successful against that mob.
-
Did he score twelve last season? I thought he'd scored eleven

Soccerbase has him on 11 for last season.
-
What exactly is the script for getting all of the money in if I signed up? Is there a final deadline for the full £300?
If you contact them directly they will give you the details, but I believe you have about 9 months to pay the full amount.
-
I joined up last week. Hopefully many others are like me and get their fingers out nearer the deadline.
Just a born procrastinator.
-
In effect, he is being punished twice for the one "offence ". Yet another in a long line of SFA clusterfucks.
Not really. He was basically sent off. If a player is sent off and subsequently suspended he isn't being punished twice.
Hope he fights it though.
-
Closest I have over here are John Spencer (Portland) and Ally Maxwell (Phoenix), but those towns are are about as far away from me as Motherwell!
In fact, we only have one famous sportsman from my wee town and that is Dan Orlovsky (QB for the Tampa Bay Bucs)
