From looking at a few youtube clips he looks quick, likes to go wide, not afraid to ping a shot and is fairly creative, kind of reminds me of Jamie Murphy. Basically everything we have been lacking. Wither he will be good at any of these things for us is another question.

McCormack sitting next to borrows there, and as soon as the final whistle went the manager turns round and starts talking to him, no idea what about but he seemed to be pointing something out to him, certainly interesting.

Too late to chuck him before the window?

If he goes in the next month and it's a move to a bigger club down south, a loan back for the rest of the season maybe something we are keen to look at when considering a deal.

I'm honestly convinced they just pick a random number of mins to add on and don't bother actually working it out.

Neither does that manager, but what hes does know, is hes sticking to it.

Im not a fan either, its CelticTV levels of cringe at times, but I couldnt find a video stream so it will have to do.

Anyone listening to the Mixlr commentary ? "Fanny about with these short corners".

Hopefully we don't give him one to consider.

He didn't need to look far, McHugh basically told him to.

It's one of those that if it was the other way around and it wasn't given you would be raging, but I've seen them not given at the same time.

McHugh must have somewhere else he needs to be, worked hard for that sending off.

Was honestly expecting to wake up today to Robinson being sacked/ resigned. He's not turning this around. He doesn't have the players to turn it around, which is at least in part, his own fault. I get the feeling the club are going to try stick it through until after the transfer window to see what he can do with a few new signings. It would have to be some outstanding incoming players to get us out this mess. Off the top of my head I can't remember us ever being this short of points at this stage of the season, and I've seen us have some shocking starts. I don't know if I just got too used to us riding high and being one of the better team in the league's, but the team we are putting out now and the way we are playing just feels miles short of the quality we should be getting.

To be fair, other than the Lesley comment, he's not saying anything different from what most on here are saying.

What's the rules regarding the Colts? Is there an age restriction, amount of first team appearances restriction? Basically, what's stopping us flinging out the first team and calling it Colts?

The thing that worries me is that the club have left it longer that they should have several times in the past, so I don't see this time being any different. It took for protests outside the main stand half way through the game before McGhee got the hook, which was beyond ridiculous that it took for that for the club to take action. Robinson clearly isn't good enough, as sorry as I am to say that, because he is a likable guy. I would hate for it to take another fan protest before the club take notice, because despite not being good enough, I don't think Robinson deserves that. I just hope someone at the top is willing to make the tough decisions.

I cant remember ever seeing a Motherwell manager ever "turn it around", giving him time is only going to give us time to slip further, fresh ideas is what is needed.

We are rotten

The way we are playing right now reminds me of how we were playing under McCall just before he left, no energy, no ideas, no creativity.

Sooooooooooo...... Craig Shybald? Too obvious?

20 quid and you can paint it on me Ayr United style.

So we have had 2 large crowds at the finals this season, and also bumper support for the semi finals as well. It has got me thinking again of that old topic of support. The fact we sold out our allocation for the final goes to show there are "potential" numbers that are not showing up during the season. The question comes up again of why? Obviously within this you have your day trippers, that will only come out for the finals. People who used to be regulars who have now dropped away is also a contributing factor. Sprinkled in are the neutrals and the fans of "other" teams. But it begs the question, what could be done to turn the part timers and day trippers into more regular supporters, could the club be doing more? For me, there have been a few things that stand in the way of the casual supporter. First off, the cost. When I started going to Fir Park I went with a few friends, then with my cousin and my Dad, who I then went with for around 10 years or so. My cousin is now firmly in the "Scottish football is pish" camp and would rather watch the English football on TV than go to a Scottish game. For my Dad, its the money aspect, he can't justify to himself paying 20-30 quid a game. I am sure that most people on this forum have similar experiences with people that used to go and now don't. The second problem is mentality. I think a lot of people treat going to the football as a day out, the same as the cinema, bowling or whatever. Trying to get them to switch from day out to thinking of it as more of a hobby is something quite difficult. The third issue I find, and it is something the club could do something about very easily, is that the football is not in the minds of the community in the large scale. Unless you are a football fan, the fact that there is a game on doesnt even cross your mind, and it would cross your mind to find out. The club could be doing with increasing their PR and getting people thinking about the football. Unless you drive past the Fir Park area on Match day you would have no idea there is a game on in the town. Advertisement space is available almost everywhere now, information of when and where the team are playing should be displayed across the town every week. Hiring a few advertisement boards with dates and kick off times of the next few matches and a bit of Motherwell colour about them wouldnt cost all that much in the grand scheme of things. Even have people handing out flyers in the town centre a few days before a home game with maybe a 10% off ticket price when you take it in to the ticket office kind of deal. This is more of a vent but I was wanting to open up the discussion. I know its been talked to death before but with the crowds we have been taking to finals and semi finals its fresh in the mind again. Also the fact that the season is over and we have fuck all to talk about for the next several weeks.

I would ha e thought Tait would have been the natural successor, wouldn't say no to Hartley though.
