3-0 against 10 men. Get a fucking grip Motherwell That's fucking embarrasing. Sounds like Ruddy is having a howler.

Just incase anyone was intending up that way, there are road works aplenty at the Forth Road Bridge, seemingly.

I'm sure I heard a manager say recently (Butcher I'm sure, maybe Mowbray) that he was struggling to get any loans from down south as they can't return/be recalled outside the transfer window, unlike if they are loaned out to another English club.

He can't be recalled just now because the transfer window is shut and it's a cros border transfer. Nothing to get worried about, yet.

Christ. A contact that can actually be put to use to achieve something.

Was it not at the World Cup in Germany? One of the new stadiums (Schalke's I think) has the big screen's overhanging the pitch, and Paul Robinson managed to blooter it a few times with his kick outs Here y'are.

YES!!!

I know you only post pish like this all the time for some tit to bite, but I'm going to... Didn't he take a pay cut to stay when we went into administration, then knock back several offers to move for more money afterwards? I'd say after that and all the years service he gave us he would be entitled to start thinking about moving on.

I think he was talking about the state of their finances and the fact they had to be bailed out by the league to complete their fixtures. Edit: Plus it was the SPL's rules that forced Gretna into a ground share anyway. If it hadn't been us then the problems would just have been transferred to Killie or whereever they were forced to play.

I'd expect Aberdeen to be investigated as well as the others mentioned. Their pitch is in a terrible state. Most of the pitches in the league are in a similar state, but we are being picked on because we have previous. Some might say that's meritted, but surely they must be able to spot that there seem to be a common recurrence throughout the country. So the 1 game we have had postponed this season, due to burst pipes in the stands and fuck all to do with the pitch, makes the pitch an embarrasment?

It's Jim Traynor's phone in usually. Chic stands in whenever he's not there. Lesser of two evils I'd say.

Went for Sutton. He's been on a good run of form and his link up play and holding the ball up really helped bring Murphy into the game. Jennings and Lasley were brilliant in the middle again and Coke had a decent game linking up with them too.

I thought Miller's red card was a bit harsh TBH. Need to see it again. Was fully expecting O'Brien to follow him though for his reaction.

There was a picture in one of the papers today that looked like it might be a Motherwell v Hamilton skills school. Must be on next weeks, it's Cardiff tomorrow seemingly.

No way. Nowhere near the player Juke is. He was the difference in keeping Killie up last season, but his record this season isn't all that impressive IIRC, I can't be arsed looking. And he's a bawbag.

I think they only ripped that up because it was for the final though. Celtic definitely played on the plastic pitch and I think one of the English teams have as well.

Thats probably where leaving the covers on and USH running for 2 weeks solid comes in.

Seems to have worked. The attendance was more than double their normal gate. And they expect gate reciepts to be up, with people paying anything ranging from 3p to £50! Mansfield

Heard about a trial a Scottish 1st division team was running last year, I think it was either Raith Rovers or Ross County. Basically everyone pays a flat fee of £10 to get in, but at the end of the game they have a sort of honesy box which you can put more money into if you think the game was entertaining enough and worth more than your tenner. Could that idea be used to get something similar set up?

The baw is the one with his back to the camera.

...And was there not a bit of a story/rumour a couple of years back that Arsenal were considering him as a bit of a stop-gap back-up? Or did I dream that?

Straight fight between Jennings and Coke for me. Though Hammell had a pretty solid game as well. Not really any stand out performances today. Went for Jennings though. Thought O'Brien was shocking today, same as up at Inverness. Didn't really contribute much. Lukas' touch just wasn't there today, but I'd gladly put that down to the state of the pitch, and at least he still popped up with the goal.

Along the same lines, 'pen' pisses me right off as well. I've even heard a few commentators say 'That was a definite pen.'

Aquatec.

Can I drop him back in it for his performance against St. Mirren in the last home game of the season, when we were 2 up and lost 3-2 with Meldrum flapping 2 of them in.
