That's the only way for us to qualify. but 2nd and 3rd are guranteed europa cup.

NO! We put him on penalties so we can win the games! who took our last penalty anyway. We've not had many have we?

Celtic clinched the first of their 9 in a row at fir park whenever that was. i was at at the game. The ball bounced in off Bobby lennox's knee in the 91st minute and that was in the day when they supposedly only ever played 90 mins. Huge crowd that day bunch of folks up on the east stand roof.

I recall that it was said Celtic never beat us when we wore the "sash" top Not sure if that is true or not.

Why? I disagree with that statement. if he has decided he is leaving but does not tell us, then he would still be in the same position as you describe above except we would not know. I think he has to be driving the players performance on the field and the board need to be getting the players signed up for next season. I do agree with your last statement though and i think mcCall is an honest proefssional who would still do his best to see us finish second even if he knew he was leaving. Either way it's an unfortunate siuation to be in at this time of the season and I would love to see McCall and the board resolve it soon as possible resulting in him signing for another few years. I have no doubt that he can be a big factor in retaining players for less money than they might get offered elsewhere.

Sod that "go home from work and watch the game on DVR"...................... Executing plan B....................Taking vacation day from work and hangin out with the wee man ( 6 year old grandson ) then me and him will plonk down in front of the telly at 2.45pm here and scream our lungs out as we romp to victory! C'MON THE WELL

Eh? Where did I mention that he leaves before the end of the season? He just makes his mind up now so we can start looking for his replacement if he is going to leave.

one of the worst things for football was AGENTS. I bet McCall would have been signed up ages ago if it wasn't for his agent...........................but still the board should be laying it on the line and saying make your mind up now. it's never good when uncertainty lingers on.

Too early for Moonshine. ( well ok maybe not ) I was referring to the middle of Steelboy's post that I replied to. "league construction - i've made my point on here and to dempster and weir that i'm strongly against zeroing points and splitting after 22 games." He probaly wrote that assuming everyone would be aware that it did not apply to the top part of the split but obviously i was not. But it does raise the question as to why only do it in one of the splits? As I mentioned I think that would be a great idea especially for the top 8 teams. edit: OK I see why they do that split now since they have to even out the teams who have been playing in different divisions.

I guess I should pay more attention to league reconstruction, I totally missed the part about zeroing the points after 22 games. I actually think that is a good thing and may give the other teams a better chance of giving Celtic a run for their money. I believe we would be better able to compete aganst Celtic in a 15 game season ( effictively at that point )

Did we also miss a PK in that game?

Higgy hat trick plus another 2 Then Ill go home form work and watch the game on the DVR. Great start to the weekend!

No way in hell should Doncaster be on $200K per year. The clubs need to sort that one out!

To illustrate the point, I think if they went back and took money off of Celtic and redistributed among places 3 to 12 and left 2nd place alone now everyone ( except maybe Celtic ) would be happy? Right? The goal should be trying to make the other teams get stronger to compete with Celtic. This redistribution has not done that in anyway.

Although first priority is getting top 6 place we must still be aiming for second and that menas trying to get max points form our last 3 games. Utd play aberdeen before the split so that means that is impossible for both to catch us, so thats 4 teams now ruled out. Only 2 to go from utd or Aberdeen, Killie, hibs and S tJ who have to play Dundee utd and Caley Just so many permutations but I think as long as we continue to pick up points the permutations are in our favour.

I think we are due to gubb Hibs! it's about time for Ojaama and Faddy to score and Higdon in there as well.

Yes, apart form the #1 prize money not being touched this change in midstream really bothers me. everyone should know what they are playing for from the start of the season and any chnages should be in place the follwoaing season...............Of course having said that if they all decide that it's ok to change midstream then we are back to why the hell did we agree to this or maybe we still have that question regardless?

We can have him stay ther and then just not listen to him ! Although it's much easier for me not to listen to him since I am over here

While I understand the sentiment of wanting Auld Broon to get the sack. It's much more advantageous for us for him to stay there. That way Aberdeen will continue to remain shite for longer. They were made for each other !

I think Hately is a good player for us. Would rather see him stay than leave.

If we can do the business at Aberdeen on Saturday I think it might be a great day for us, looking at the other fixtures. I fancy Hearts( V Hibs ) and Dundee ( V caley ) might do us a turn plus Ross county play Celtic. Regardless, if we win it will still be a great day!

we have 4 games lef to th split all winnable ............BUT........... We are Motherwell. We ahve already wone 2 on the trot. So what is our longest winning streak ( if you can call it a streak ) in the SPL? or what is our longest of run being undefeated? Would love to see us win all 4 on the way to the split but I think history is against us?? of going 6 wins in a row or 6 undefeated

Lookin at the 4 games left and recent form that would be my 6 as as well Bezzer. Although I had Killie above St J

Of course I hope we beat them and beat them good! Hiigy Hat trick would be good but I'm also hoping they keep Broon!!

You an come stay here anytime! Cheap beer, cheap hotel ( ma house ) , plenty sunshine, and The 'well Live on the telly now and again. Took half day Wednesday and watched Celtic game Live. Great stuff!!
