I'd actually have given that accolade to Vic Davidson. Superb footbal player with control, vision, skill. A great passer and a goalscorer as well. Imagine having a team now with the qualities of Pettigrew, Graham, Marinello and Davidson all in the same side !!!

Well, that was a pish all round performance Wasn't much in it up to the pen, but after that it was coasting for Hibs. Still, at least there will be plenty to read on the forum. A long awaited defeat will bring the usual suspects out.

Was thinking he should be picking the teams and managing one of them.

I wasn't for punting Kettlewell during the bad run, simply because there was no sign of disharmony or lack of effort in the squad and apart from a couple of notable exceptions, there were few absolutely dross performances. Just fine margins, a missed chance, a defensive howler being the difference in a lot of games. With regard to budget and expectations, there are a lot of people on here who simply won't forgive the signing of a player that doesn't work out. Newsflash.......every single manager in every single league brings in players who don't work for one reason or another. Is the suggestion here that Motherwell should be able to hire a manager who only signs players that work out perfectly ? OK, we've got a smaller budget that most teams in the league, so bad buys show up more, but really, at the point of signing a contract, who would have put Moult above Fletcher ? There's that or numerous other examples we could bring up. Tommy McLean signed countless dross players in his time, but he also made some of the best signings ever. Everyone wants the team to be the best it possibly can be, but you do have to make allowances for who we are, how big we are and what we have to attract players with (i.e. not unlimited money). Every season is a new opportunity to improve, but we'll have good games, we'll have bad games, we'll have highs a we'll have lows and, in our league, very fine margins in a few games will decide if we're chasing europe or fighting relegation.

Night off fo the mods and admins tonight then.......

Ye ragin', aye ?

Feed The Paton !!

Feed The Davor !

Cracker !!!!

Feed The Spittal......

I've got most home progs (in several suitcases) from 1974 to 2005, which is the time period when i had season tickets. Only go to 6 to 8 home games a year now, cause and long since stopped 'collecting' them.

They're all pish. The club needs to show some ambition and bring back Kevin Van Veen.

It was 🙂 Good spot ! A mate of mine recently tried to get me a program from the year I was born, but he couldn't cause I don't think programmes had been invented yet 🙂 He managed to find me 2 from 1965 in a charity shop which he got for like 50p each or something. The Carlisle one was for my son's birthday (his D.O.B). He's moved back to the mainland for Uni and now can go to games without relying on me for money and lifts. I've given him a bunch of my progs (which I collected from 1972 to 2005) and thought that would be a nice wee addition.

Does anyone on here deal in old programmes ? If so, looking for either the one from a friendly against Carlisle on the 24/7/1999 if one exists 🙂 If not the one from the first SPL game of the 99/00 season, at home to Hibs on the 31st July.

Defeat to Aberdeen, 9 page thread. Four one win and guaranteed top league status, four pages. Says a lot about some of our support and forum members. Some people are only happy when they're ragin'. COYW.

It's more than breathing space. Nine ahead of St J with three to play and a 22 goal GD advantage. We're safe.

So, this match thread will be a lot shorter than last weeks, seeing the Four W****rs of The Apocolypse won't have anything to post about 🙂 Well done to the oot his depth manager and his not SPL standard team 🙂

FEED THE BAIR !!!!!!

Holy Fuck ! What a finish !!

And as if by magic.......

Heard a rumour that Kettlewell told the players to make sure they lost the game today so that four absolute wankers could have an evening of bitching on an internet forum. After four games without a defeat, they might not have survived another.

That was never a red card in a month of Sundays.
