Both surfaces have their pros and cons I guess, but I just think that playing on the kind of surfaces we see in Scotland through the wet season (ie; the entire season) has to be just as dangerous and it also affects the quality of football.

They increase the chance of injury more than playing on what has been a bit of a shitehole every winter? I'm no expert, but I'd assume that playing on a grassy surface that breaks up and is logged with water would be just as dangerous.

What about the likes of Dougie Arnott? Tommy McLean etc?

This season is basically a case of survival, and anything above that is a bonus. We can't really judge the manager until he's had time to bring in some players of his own, and removed some players he doesn't want. Those being critical of him at this point are mental in my opinion.

He's made, what? Five starts this season? 21 years old? Maybe we should give him a bit of time before giving him pelters, no? Especially if you were actually born in Africa but just happened to be white.

I know it's mainly a current events podcast, but is there no way you could maybe try and get some of the old 'Well legends on for an interview or the like? I'm sure some of us old-timers would like that!

Maybe if he'd abstained from clubbing/drinking and watched his dietary intake on the night before matches back then he'd have been in the team

I'd go with that as well, yeah. Erwin needs a good run of games I reckon.

Just an unqualified opinion I've got from doing some reading on him and listening to him. I like his ideas, the way he wants to go about things. He seems like a good fit for the route we'll have to go down if we're to sort out the club and start moving in the right direction. I could be wrong, of course.

I'd still stick with him even if we do get relegated.

Ah, well he'll be given until the middle of the summer transfer window at best then most likely. I wouldn't be surprised if we see calls for his head on this forum before this season is over.

Hopefully. If not, it'll be back to the drawing board, won't it?

I have no doubt that the players are being told some home truths behind closed doors. There's no point in the manager giving them pelters in the press, is there? Indeed. A football support that lets off the odd smoke bomb or gets a bit boisterous now & then. We'll be the talk of Europe before long with these cringeworthy antics.

Surely playing on the left for Motherwell is better than where he was playing for Legia?

From what I've seen (which isn't much, granted) Erwin looks as though he has the makings of a decent player. He just needs time to find his feet.

Almost an hour gone and Dan's not had a save to make yet by the looks of it.

Nice to see Sutton get another goal, even if it was a penalty. A wee win here would see us go into 2015 in a more positive frame of mind.

Here's hoping Sutton can kick on and go on a run of scoring now.

I'd assumed that, much like everyone else's posts on this forum, what I said would be taken as my own opinion. I believe Black to be a somewhat limited coach for various reasons, some of which you've mentioned there. Is that okay? Am I allowed to have that opinion without actually being fucking coached by him?

I don't think it's any real secret that Black is a hardworking, albeit rather limited football coach. He's doing his best though, of that there's no doubt. I won't be too upset to see him join McCall at Rangers or down south though. I'd rather Baraclough was given the freedom to bring in his own man.

Yeah, but that's what happens on here. If we lose to Thistle this weekend there'll be a thread wanting Baraclough out probably. I don't think the majority of fans have any issue with Black at all.

Arrived yesterday. Another great read lads! Cheers!

The initial down payment was quite understandably a major stumbling block for a lot of people, but with the move to allow £10 per month payments with nothing down there really isn't any excuse for most people now. Don't get me wrong, a tenner is still a tenner, but it's more affordable than £300 off the bat.

Has there been a campaign against Black on this forum? I must have missed that.

Another good listen. Well done lads.
