And we have another... It's the contradicting fashion polis noo You've checked their web shop aye? Plenty of club colours which are wore by plenty.

Bang on the money

Bet he arranges some works team, stuff of legend.

Wind your neck in. With friends like you, who needs enemies? We get they are not permitted. The main drivers in the group took that aboard previously. Reactive maybe, pro-active definitely as they move forward... novel steps are being put in place to have a word with the pyro-mad without installing a group structure, alienating the more youthful. With representation from the club and wait for it, Police Scotland. This WILL make a strong group stronger... Club viewpoint? Doubt the club plan to 'slate' and there will be concern about the tactics employed by the authorities. The clubs two major concerns, relating to Police is- The worry that we'll lose our Police-free status thus recurring inflated costs - having worked for years to get this almost down to zero and As a result of that, less control so the bois in the ground can have the 'freedom' at Fir Park. That's why if/when they do say anything, it has to absolutely be sympathetic to the issues faced yesterday (minus pyro obviously) but, also mindful of not picking a fight with the Police that the club will never win and only end up paying for (quite literally) down the line... Positives far outweigh the negatives towards these lads. They understand they'll never please all the people all of the time, but, knowing those that I do, they will have a right good crack at it. To them? I doft my cap - keep the faith.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story... No smoke bombs, no issue? Not condoning their use, harmless as it is, the ineffective stewarding/policing commenced long before any smoke pellet went off. I'd question how, after a visit by our own safety officer to that section at half-time that the matter escalated too...

Eh? Surely you jest?

Wasn't so brave when one of the youth teams' parents asked for a word in his shell-like across the field at Dalziel Park... John Boyle admitted as much to 'taking his eye off the ball' with messrs Malpas & Heggarty, the rest as they say is history and it's been some journey to be fair

Can't have been - steelboy says he was 'enterntaing' which I think meant he was entertaining

Not been to a ground where you can drink throughout the match on the mainland (that egg chasers game may well be different), so that's that one ruled out. It's offered in a regimented way with regards to timings and I've yet to come across the claims made regarding poor fare, lairyness et all. Pricing is competitive rather than over priced, having the paying customers in the stadiums earlier - achieving matchday revenues way and above what we can expect as the clubs want the business over local licensed premises by offering decent product/prices. Issue we'd currently have is the lack of facilities. Fair point, well made gilmour...

And they don't have volatile games down south or elsewhere in the world? Have a word with yourself.

You'd think not. Then steelboy will put his slant on it...

He should do...

Naw? Well, you argue with Hutchison for starters then... Which issues? Sleeve length, neckline and chest size covers the majority of the shirt, given they can't complain about the sponsor being embossed I'd wager that pretty much sums it up. Perhaps the badge (you'll disect this as not being properly embroidered nae doubt) gives big Sutton a nipple rash? At least our first team jerseys are individual...

Given financial constraints, confirms the decision to award a new two year deal as one of folly.

General consensus was sleeves being too long, also varied ideas on how neckline could be worn.

Various problems raised from within the squad which the agent for the kit supplier hasn't rectified cue our kit man putting his hand into his own pockets... AGAIN

Wouldn't change a winning team... Thinking we may see Lionel appear from the bench with a nod to his match sharpness.

Behave. We know you have a hard-on for the largely ineffective Higginbotham... As for the thinly veiled dig those at the far end of the East Stand, in the play leading up to Carswell being injured, like you, the referee missed the erm, assault on Hutchison in mid flight that directed their ire towards the player before his various gestures to those in view. No issues with him not putting the ball out of play given our players were originally on the attack with little thought for the stricken player before the opposition retained possession. As for the McManus tackle, it's a contact sport FFS. Both fully committed and no quarter given, epitomised our defensive performance yesterday. I'd have been raging if our player hadn't challenged so.

Murphy to return?

2-1 in Motherwells' favour. Winger was anonymous in first half, coming on to a game second half. Not first team material at this time, which is the demand st this time. Erwin impressed.

Kerr can play? Everyday IS a schoolday right enough...

And you've deduced that after 4 competitive matches? Mental.

In the same boat, so fair point well made.

McHugh running everywhere? Surely you jest?

Aye? That'll be every member of their West/Central Scotland, erm, diehards joining us for their end of season bash then.
