I said before Saturday's game that 5 wins (or 15 points) would do. I was hoping that those wins would come from the 5 games we still had to play against Killie and United. I still stand by that, but we have to make sure we don't lose any of the 4 remaining games against those 2 clubs whilst picking up the rest of the points elsewhere.

Not a chance. Lasley was hopeless today. Barely any passes made their target. Headless chicken today, I'm afraid. I was shouting for Moult for Lasley after about 50 minutes.

From the Twittersphere: re Michael O'Halloran's possible move to #Rangers, hearing that Nicky Law going the other way to St Johnstone could be part of any deal Not particularly related to us but rules out any notion that there may have been any chance he would be back with us.

From what I gather from one of The Secret Footballer's books 'normal' players moving to MLS is not about salary, but is more about lifestyle & getting visas and permits for staying/living in the US once a career has finished. The marquee/designated players are the exception to the rule in terms of salary and standard.

Moult in double figures before Christmas, too.

Helmut Schoen?

Totally slipped my mind. Sorry. Tenner sent.

Connor Ripley signed. 22 year old, 6ft 3in tall goalie. http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2015/07/31/well-sign-goalkeeper-ripley/

That's me caught up on them all, and I even got a mention on the last one before the play-off (the very last one I listened to!). Cheers Jay. It's nice to know I make sense every now and again. Good stuff guys, keep it up.

Mind that time Davor Suker chipped Peter Schmeichel?

Bought a new FM transmitter gadget for the works van so I've finally been able to catch up on the podcasts stretching back to around the split. Good stuff. Also listened to the 'meltit' and '6-1' versions a few times. Brilliant! Glad you've included the 'Fir Park. Twisting. Shouting. Shaking.' commentary at the start. Had been listening to the summer specials and thought that should have been added.

I'm in for a tenner. I'll sort it out when I'm home my holidays.

Put this in the shoutbox, too. Wee interview with 'Flow with regards to players coming and going. http://www.clyde1.com/sport/news/listen-alan-burrows-on-play-off-problems/#.VYFr0dFIvc8.twitter

Phew! I read that as the next Straker

Correct!

I know it's taking someone else's word for it but the fee quoted on Twitter by one of the Agent/In The Know types was £380k. Seemed quite definite about it. No idea if that's before, or after, any taxes.

And I don't think we can base every signing on whether, or not, we'll get a transfer fee. Sometimes we might just have to sign someone that can do a job.

And maybe a wee poster pull-out in the middle the way they did with players this season.

Aye, that's why I was wondering if we'd had clarification. Saw on Twitter, there, the official line is 'It didn't work out' but I had heard about attitude problems and him just being told not to darken our doorstep again.

Did we ever officially find out what happened with Nathan Thomas? Did he have a poor attitude and was asked to leave? Or was he just AWOL? Or was at the club until Sunday and the one year option has not been taken up? Do we even care?
