  1. Yeah, he's most likely the wrong side of 30 to consider a move to MLS.
  2. It's nice seeing footballers actually being paid somewhat of a "real" salary, rather than the inflated wages they get in Europe.
  3. You would have to think he'd be able to make at least what Rangers offer him if he moves down south though, eh?

    Henrik for me. He was a constant thorn in the sides of their defence. Especially Wanyama.
  5. A win is surely a must here? Everyone's been beating Hearts!

    I saw you mention this previously. Which hotel? And what actually happened?
  7. We've been much improved in the 2nd half, and Celtic didn't deserve their goal. Deservedly winning the game, and worthy of all three points in my opinion.
  8. The thing is, we're 1-0 up and I don't even think we've played that well. McFadden looks a class above pretty much everyone on the pitch, doesn't he? If this is him when he isn't fit it'll be interesting to see what he's like in a month or so!
  9. I'm not entirely sure, but I think he had voiced his displeasure over the lack of international conferencing facilities offered for these meetings when the club actively were trying to convince non-local fans to join the Society in the first place. He had no means of hearing or seeing what was said at the meeting and had to rely on others telling him.
  10. And the deal would conveniently come to an end just in time for Rangers winning promotion to the SPL (unless they slip up along the way of course), at which point they'll have to rejig the numbers and ensure that the gap in financial reward between the top two isn't as much.
  11. So, under these new proposals Celtic will be giving up £315,000 less per season, whilst the best of the rest will lose out on more than double that?
  12. How did he get on at Partick? Does he still look like the promising lad who left us?
  13. Would it be fair to say that there is pretty much no way of any other SPL club realistically closing the gap on Celtic? I don't know about any of you, but this season I've been pretty much ignoring them at the top of the league. We know they'll win it, it's just a matter of when. I don't really care to be honest. I don't think any change to the league setup is going to make a difference as far as the rest of the SPL closing the gap on Celtic goes. What will make the difference in my opinion is how long it takes Rangers to get back into the SPL and become competitive with them again. Until that happens we'll see their attendances slowly drop and interest in their season beyond what they can do in Europe diminish. Meanwhile the rest of us are playing in a highly competitive league where the majority of sides are split by not a lot. My main concern, and reason for wanting a 14 or even an 18 team league is because I want some variety in the games that Motherwell play every season. I want to see us play against the likes of Thistle, Accies, Morton & Airdrie on a regular basis, rather than playing Kilmarnock four times a season (no offence to Killie intended!). We need a bigger league with lower gate prices, it's really as simple as that. Without both of those factors I don't see the game in this country moving forward any. The added bonus of Charles Green pushing through and getting Rangers into England wouldn't go amiss either. As soon as that happened we'd see Celtic leave not long after.
  14. What constitutes a "bigger club" in your opinion?

    Mines arrived over the weekend, and I have to say I was blown away by the quality of it. It was well put together and looked really professional. I enjoyed all of the articles, with my only complaint being the colour scheme on the interview with Lasley. The black & grey is difficult to read. Other than that, well done to all concerned!
  16. Yeah, me too. At least one in surely.
  17. I'd be more than happy with that. He's a decent player.
  18. The harsh truth is, if any player who is out of contract in the summer makes it clear to the club that he isn't interested in resigning with us then I'd have no issue with him being sold if the right offer came in.

    Celtic

    As soon as Jamie hit the floor I was hoping he'd insist on taking the kick. It was his big chance to score against Celtic and possibly win us all three points. What a way to leave, eh?
  20. Yeah, I don't see Daley going anywhere unless it's by his own choice.
  21. The Sheffield United boards are awash with talk that Porter is still on his way here, but not as part of the Murphy deal. Taken from Blades Mad;
  22. You're not wrong. The general consensus is that all of the success we've achieved in recent seasons has been down to Murphy.
  23. David

    Celtic

    Yes, but Murphy was on a high last night. He was playing an excellent game, and would have been the perfect player to hit the kick in my opinion.
  24. Those Tweets say it all really, don't they? I doubt he really wanted to leave, but the truth is he had to go if he wanted to progress his career and get the chance to make some decent coin. Motherwell will always be here, and after he gives it a bash in England he can always come back. Let's just hope he doesn't ruin it by signing for Aberdeen in a few years!
