When Stevie O'Reilly's father should have tossed down the pan instead of getting chucked off by Mrs O'Reilly at the tickly bit.

How so? Game was gone by then.

Ladies, gentleman and pant wetters.... We have a winner!

See the list of nominees for board positions has landed in my in box. No beating about the bush (like Jimmy Savile) suitable bribes will suffice to secure my vote...

How come? The Ravenscraig development is flanked by the West Coast mainline to the west and the Wishaw deviation line which has run passenger services for several years now on it's eastern side. It has always been proposed a new station will be constructed on the latter line and dependant on location of any stadium, likely be well served by existing rail links.

Aye? The cost of the scaffolding alone is way above that unless somebody at the club owns the scaffolding business and offering services free!

Well, depends on where you heard it from... Certain factions at NLC were falling over themselves to assist any move from Fir Park, similarly certain factions within the various development agencies would have had us at Ravenscraig as a focal point for the proposed development in a heartbeat. The M&WTC position is of red herring proportion - given their lack of investment amongst a long list of falldowns, I'd find their input to be trivial at best and of Iittle consequence. Unfortunately, the world fell on times of austerity. Save for that, we'd have relocated by now and embracing the change of the current landscape. That and M&WTC's would be a distant memory. Whilst not presently viable for us, I believe in time it'll be the only course of action available and as the club will require to evolve, maybe so to will the support... Before we have the sycophantic notion of some - Ravenscraig is part of the fabric of our town Motherwell. It's not a new town, it's a development of our town where the name 'Ravenscraig' has and will be used to attract funding for development and regeneration. All this against the backdrop of how our pitch is now performing!

Seconded

Although, plenty to learn, the kid's not put a foot wrong and Hammell has been turning in poor performances for months now...

Well, I've read your post again and in conjunction with that Finlay fella's and they're a crock o' shit. One of the main reasons our club voted against the reserve league was due to our development kids being utilised to fill both the youth and reserve teams leaving very little emphasis on the development and more on preparation for game time. Regardless of being able to finance both, I don't see what would have changed unless the intake of kids has doubled?

No! No! And No again. This kid is lost to the game out there. A free role behind the front two is where he should have been deployed last night also. As for the Daley chat...

A third bid for oor James? That old roaster will have a bigger nose than his cock...

He's alive and well! A victim of the Big Liz programme empire demise, now employed at Tesco up our neck of the woods.

Deary me, Owen Coyle is lauded more for performances in that jumped up five-a-side shown on Sky than for anything he achieved in a first team shirt...

Everybody who booked using the liligo.whatever deal confirmed as travelling? Their trip cancelled, friends of ours have fallen victim to what was offered and are outside Fir Park being interviewed by The Sun with mugshots in tomorrow's edition...

What's the basis for the conjecture on alleged offers made to the club?

Thought that 'decorator' chap was the one and only to hold the title at being at every European fixture we've played? He was even in Albania - I've seen the pictures! Not many pictures from Athens mind... He lost his camera on a binge with shock horror, a Rangers Oldco fan

Well, recently was at the end of June...

He lives in the area. After a tough end to last season, back fit and playing at Carlisle when I spoke to him recently.

Somebody else with their back to the pitch. Thank goodness you are not ALL Stuart McCall....

Burn_Broomfield of this very board made a valiant attempt at taking the Cloudy Express into the skies for our Nancy trip in 2008. Similar arrangements from what I can see, whereby a third party has discounted block bookings on budget airlines. Became too much in the way of organising as information was minimal and not readily available and sacked it in favour of a Ghoul Patrol trip.

Surely you jest? Two very different players and styles of play so the claim 'to reach his quality' is pretty futile no? Ojamaa EVERY time for me, much the same thinking as current club management...

Eh? For starters... Another top prospect, yes, but, more useful player than Ojamma? Suspect you're struggling with the concept, I'd invest in a 'beginners guide to playing football' if I were you... Understanding that varied opposition requires some horses for courses thinking, wonder why his various coaches and current first team management haven't fashioned his progress into a more forward role?

If the back pedal was an olympic sport... Starting to think more than a few sit with their back to the action!

Did they? What were they dressed as? Claret plastic seats? I'll wager you tell yer missus that your prick is 3 times bigger than it is...
