Well-Made

I just saw GUNNAR NEILSEN in the 'Well Shop, think we must be looking at signing him..... He was with his pal Freddie Vindaloo... Sorry, couldn't resist.

From the BBC Gossip page

Are you inferring we must have been "desperate" to approach him?

He said he "might". I'd imagine as of today he is now officially out of contract, if as stated in the shoutbox most of the contracts are dated the 1st June. Same with Humphrey and Hateley.

Quotes from McCall. Is that enough to convince folk?

Delighted he's staying. He'd already been quoted that he was in no rush to leave the club but if someone came in for him he'd talk to them out of courtesy. He's done that, decided it's not for him and he's better off where he is. Bear in mind he also had an affinity with Utd. If we're doing well, yeah other teams will be in for him, that's the way of the game. However if he's doing well, so are we. We can now concentrate on building for next season and getting some players signed up. Hopefully Higgy's "I might stay, if McCall stays" changes to a definite. Faddy would be good as well.

See on one of the Sheffield boards, there is a rumour that there'll be an announcement tomorrow. Expecting to hear McCall as the new boss and another that he'll be signing Higgy and Law and Higginbotham.

Looking at those tweets, can I just say that ain't exactly going to tell them what's happening before telling the club. So I don't know why their bothering asking the question. I hope he decides that Fir Park is the place to be but if he goes, then Good luck to him. We'll move onto the next part of the rollercoaster.

Sorry but I think I'd be quite pissed off if that happened. It'd mean he couldn't play against his parent club. If he was to establish himself as the No.1 ahead of Hollis, we'd be bringing Hollis into play against them and maybe disruting the harmony of the defence.

McCall said pre-match that Hateley and Humphrey had picked up knocks in training this week and failed a fitness test. So not necessarily a sign that both are off. However reading the Funday Nail today it would be safe to assume Hateley could be a way. Have a feeling that'll be playing 2nd Division football especially when his Dad and Trevor Steven are dealing with his contract offers. To be fair though he did state that he'd miss the club as past players have said that our changing room atmosphere was the best they've had since leaving. So there may be a wee niggle of doubt on leaving.

Kirky seemed to be quite positive that's where we'd like to enter. I can see both sides of this. From our side, we'd like the extra round for the sake of getting a chance to travel to a couple of places. From the clubs though maybe that extra couple of weeks could help settle in the new players a little more. I'd love us to get a tie in the 3rd qualifier that at least gives us a chance of qualification or a tie against a big club to encourage a big crowd.

Humphrey for me as well. Because of the assist and the goal. Looked tired in the 2nd Half. Would be good if we could keep him.

I'm glad I put in if I got the victim right.

Yep, a certain Bob Malcolm stood on his head and went unpunished Malcolm then went on and scored the winning goal for the team formerly known as Rangers. If I have the victim correct that is. Also went on about having a bevvy of virgins looking after his needs, or was that just one of his dreams

I have voted for Higgy. I'd love to see Faddy, Randy and Law stay but I think they'll be moving on to bigger and better things and we won't be able to compete with the wages anyway. If we could match an offer from a Championship Club or Celtic it would be at the detriment to the rest of the squad. There's no point in having one stand out player if we can't put out 10 other players that will help him. I agree that Higgy only has the goals because of the work his team mates do but he knows the way to the back of the net. It will be easier to get players that can create chances for them than trying to replace him.

Randy, Saunders, Ramsden, Law, Humphrey, Faddy, Higgy, Daley, Hateley, Higginbotham and Kerr's loans will finish.

So tell me if I am just being skeptical or not but St Mirren only announced their intention to vote after a meeting between Green and Gilmour. Green and Gilmour meet Now Gilmour hasn't explained why he voted against the new set up, despite stating it was the 11-1 vote that was a main sticking point. Apparently this was opened to change yesterday and still he didn't change his vote. The fact that since then he has offered an explanation to why this didn't change his perception of the set up appears to be the main cause of upset. Either way the right decision was reached, there has to be a better way.

From the BBC

He's also quoted as saying that the SFL Clubs can still vote for a 12-12-10-10 as another option, he is bothered how the leagues are split below the top 2 of 12.

I see the Assistant Manager has gone and they've appointed one of the coaches to take charge for the rest f the season. Maybe they want McCall but he has hinted it'll depend where we finish, which players sign up and budget etc for next season. Then again he may have told them very politely, Thank you but No, thank you.

That'd be too simple. What if Celtic have Ross County and we have ICT first after the split, is it possible that the Broadcasters are trying to find a way to show both games but want Celtic's game to be shown 2nd in case there is a Title party? If Rangers are playing on the 20th at Ipox and this is already scheduled for TV, it could then be down to how they get the two games on Sunday or split Sunday\Monday. No knowledge, just a thought.

Apparently, there has been a glitch with the computer. It isn't giving Celtic a home game straight after the split and keeps chucking out 3 away games for them

Great news. Have to wonder if McGhee had a word and said leaving the 'Well was the biggest mistake he'd made. Here's to another 2 years under the guidance of Mr McCall Now if we could only get everyone else sorted.......

RIP Auld Yin.

Looking at Shivute he had quite a short career due to it being cut short by injury. Although something wrong with the dates he started playing with Eleven Arrows who are reported as his first club and his international career dates.
