Yeah he's Bball daft, I am sure he answered someone on twitter saying his dad was a player in Ireland, I just figured that's why he was a half black Irish guy. Assumption n that.
Without knowing any real details I am sure I remember when he last renewed it was on the back of a good few months after 3 months of shite. Then he was said to have been "one of" the highest earners. I don't really doubt that either, whatever his wage he was not worth his last extension IMO but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I can certainly understand the love for Lionel. He's a world beater on his showreel.
His first two seasons were fantastic, even during those he had some truly awful spells.
Like two previous posters said. He's being romanticised due to his good performance against Killie but other than another decent wee sub appearance a few weeks ago I can't think of his last decent game.
These posts sum up how I feel about it.
The last two wins have been great and a lot of positives have been mentioned. We were also utter dug shite at points too.
Onwards and upwards though. Right behind him and whomever else is still there in July.

Sparra & Busta chat just after Motherwell secured their top-flight status with a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock. On the agenda is post-match reaction from the Killie win and the 1-0 success at Hamilton, the future of a number of the Steelmen first-teamers and a look ahead to the final fixture of the season against Inverness.
Russell Griffiths, I would not sign him based on 2 games. He was flapping like fuck at times on Saturday. Made a great save yeah, I think Samson could have made that sorta save as well. That wasn't the issue with Samson. Everything else was.
Players sometimes just don't fit. Just doesn't work out.
