The history books will show Motherwell 1 - 0 Manchester Utd XI. Even most non-sports fans know what an "XI" represents.
Glad we got a decent workout on an off-weekend though.
That might work. There is a good cross section of fans on here, we get the official club line on issues from 'Flow, and we have the option to run polls on anything and everything.
He said that 'Well is 'punching above its weight'. I hate hearing that phrase. This is football - if we have talented players that play to the best of their ability we will win games.
"Punching above your weight" suggests that you are performing at a higher than your talent should allow.
I think the deal is they need to be signed before 5pm and have the paperwork sent to the SFA or FA before midnight. It doesn't matter if it's processed later than that.
It doesn't have to be financial, and it doesn't even have to mean the guy isn't regarded as a good player. He might just not fit in with the system that JG likes to play.
All speculation of course.
Why do you need to be fainthearted to think there was some reputational damage done to the club?
Are you not jumping on the bandwagon by saying 'the references to child abuse were not excusable'? Or is your dissent somehow more independent and brave?
First paper I read this morning. Seems to be some interest there. You can call it double standards all you like, but the media loves bad publicity for clubs like ours - deserved or not.
"You're just a fat Tony Mowbray" - shows a wee bit of thought and quite funny.
"You're a paedo" - sounds like a bunch of wee laddies that have just learned a new 'bad' word. Pretty juvenile and likely only funny on your 12th pint.
The fact that it was obviously going to make all the papers today makes it even more pointless. Now we have another label for the lazy journos to attach to our club.
I don't even think it will be their reserves though. It was promoted as the best reserve squad available on international weekend. Which didn't exactly inspire me, I have to say.
