  1. Ya Bezzer!

    Hibernian

    I'm guessing a lot of people will go for Jutkiewicz because of the goal but I thought Sutton was outstanding and actually he's had a brilliant season, twice the player he was last season. MotM - John Sutton
  2. I might never recover from that. That's me in a rocking chair now for the rest of my life with a blanket over me, a vacant stare and liquefied food being piped down my neck.
  3. My legs are jelly, I have no voice and I don't know whether to be incredibly angry or incredibly happy, so I'm just wandering around shell shocked and laughing like a lunatic. Simultaneously the worst and best Motherwell performance I've ever seen. This team will put me in an insane asylum and I love it.
  4. This is good news, we might actually win a high ball!
  5. Apparently they offered Goncalves 12K a week to stay. Crazy.
  6. I hope Broon's team talk before the match is "kick fuck out Riordan". Even if the result didn't go for us at least we would have kicked fuck out Riordan.
  7. I just think this whole cut the prices and fans will come flooding back idea is not realistic. It's obvious attendances are down but I've been going to Fir Park since the mid 80's and we've NEVER had a big support. At our very peak support in all those years we maybe had 5,000 - 5,500 fans that would turn up during the boom years of the late 90's/early 00's. But for most of the time it's been between 4,000 - 4,500. Now it's down to about 3,500- 4,000 during a recession. At the very most, there are maybe 1,000 - 1,500 floating supporters that at one time or other have come out to support us and have drifted away but in the age of televised football, getting half of them back would be optimistic. We simply can't afford to slash prices to attract a 1,000 extra fans. Are you going to reduce prices by 50% if the very best you can hope for is a 25% increase in attendance with the likelihood that it would actually be significantly less? That is financial suicide.
  8. I don't want to sound like some kind of crazy Steven Pressley type but you have to be positive. Come on 'Well! Let's do this! Hibs have lost 6 on the trot and haven't beat a top six side since 27th Jan. Their record against Top Six teams in 2010 is P11 W1 D1 L9.
  9. We didn't go 12 games without a win, but we only one once between 4th Oct and Broon's first game on the 16th January, which was a run of 12 games. The win was the 1-0 against Hearts at Fir Park. Pretty sure this will be Mark Reynolds last match at Fir Park and possibly for the club if we win, since there will be nothing really to play for in the last game. In the current financial climate we probably have to bring in at least £500K each season from transfers or else we will fall back into serious debt so there is no real option but to say goodbye to our most sell able assets at the end of each season.
  10. Numbers up? The problem is no one wants to come apart from the hardcore fans. We were effectively letting people in for free a couple of weeks ago and we got a crowd that barely crept over 4,000. Season ticket and gate receipts make up more than 40% of our income, slashing season ticket prices means halving our working budget. Fans need to be realistic about price cuts, it means less money invested in the team. So do you want a cheaper season ticket and a poorer squad with no real chance of making the Top 6/Europe and risk relegation or do you want to pay the current rate and more than stay away from the bottom of the league. I've not been able to afford a season ticket this season and probably next season as well so I'd love for prices to come down but being realistic about it but unless there is a huge drop off in season ticket sales then it probably wouldn't be worth it over all for the club.
  11. Don't know about season books but Brondby charge about 130 Kr. for a average Super League match which is roughly £15, so not really that different. Big matches against FC Kobenhavn are double the standard price.
  12. On top of Sky money the Premiership clubs also make huge amounts from selling TV rights outside of the UK and the money is split evenly between all the teams (Man Utd get the same amount as Wigan for example). Each club can expect £23 million a year just from that revenue stream. Sky pays about the same meaning each Premiership club is guaranteed more or less £50 million from television each season. Season ticket money is almost irrelevant in the great scheme of things especially for smaller to medium sized clubs in the premiership, who don't have 50,000 - 60,000 season tickets to sell.
  13. He didn't leave for Dundee, he was on loan at us and then his contract expired. Also Griffiths and Harkins didn't get promoted either so would you say no to them? There a loads of examples of us picking up good players from lowly circumstances and poor sides. I really hope you are being irreverent.
  14. I think it's harsh to blame him for anything other than the 2nd goal which he should have done better at. OK, he was off his line at the first but not many players could have made that chip over him. What exactly he was supposed to do for the third and fourth goals, I'm not sure. There is too much finger pointing these days as if perfection is the very least expected.
  15. Yeah but he has a 100 players to pick from.
  16. Funny how he was a folk hero when he was here but as soon as he's at another club he's 'over rated'! Anyway I wasn't one of these excitable types that thought he was the best thing since sliced bread but surely based on his performances at Fir Park he'd make a decent addition to the squad, if not an automatic pick. He would be good cover for Lasley/Jennings and might suit some types of games.
  17. Jim McAlister is 'definately' leaving Morton under freedom of contract. Was it last season he ripped Hibs a new arsehole in the League Cup? Might be worth a flutter. James Wesolowski and Mickael Antoine-Curier are both finishing up on loan deals at Hamilton - I think both would be welcome additions to our 1st team squad. Also at Accies Tomas Cerny has only one year left on his deal which means he could be approached in the January window on a pre contract. I think he's an excellent goal keeper one of the best in the league. I'd love to see Craig Bryson at Motherwell. He doesn't score the goals like Dorman does but I think he is overall the best midfielder in the bottom three.
  18. What about Alan Combe? Good goalkeeper but not getting a game at Kilmarnock. They will probably want him off the wage bill if they get relegated. Has some previous with the 'Well support though and he's had injury problems in recent times. Might be a bit of a risk but since Ruddy is going and most of the support don't seem to rate Fraser...
  19. There is a lot of land at Leven Street but I think they might be putting houses up there. The old Traction House had a planning application for houses a couple of years ago but obviously nothing has happened since then probably due to the recession.
  20. Aye, Boyle get the prices back up, for fuck sake!
  21. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!!! PS - Bring on Wednesday.
  22. Exactly! At least we are going into the last home game with something to cheer. Looking forward to it and fingers crossed...
  23. Yeah, I heard he was one of the highest paid players in the division, although I heard he was on even more than 15K.
  24. Me too. Not as bad as radio but still get sick with nerves, I'm gonna listen to the Falkirk game on the radio.
  25. Celtic defence of Braaftheid, O'Dea and Thompson? Come on 'Well - if you cannae score against that....
