Fair enough. Who do you think had a better game than him?
I thought Law, Hammell & Murphy at least tried to make things happen. Both Higdon & Craigan were murder today.
-
There were at least 8 players in claret and amber that were worse than him today.
I couldn't disagree more.

Off the back of an absolute stinker against St Johnstone we have our first home cup game this Tuesday against Hibs.
What do we do going into this game? Is there changes in personnel needed? I think there is, but I seriously doubt that McCall will drop Higdon simply because we don't have a suitable replacement. Personally I'd give McHugh a run of games and see what he can do.
Higdon is obviously not firing on all cylinders so it's maybe not the best idea to keep playing him.
Aside from that, I can't really think of any other changes we could make. I'm not keen on Clancy thus far, but again, a lack of a suitable replacement will likely see him keep his position.
Daley starting from the bench again I assume?
-
I'm not one for kicking a man when he's down, and he has got a couple of goals for us already, but Higdon was rank rotten today.
I've never seen a guy so big who refuses to jump when a high ball is played towards him. I remember saying that he appeared really slow at the start of the season, and that was explained away by him carrying an injury.
Well, he better get the finger out. The fans are already turning on him it would appear.

A terrible performance. Not quite sure what actually happened to be honest, we simply didn't look like the team we've been in recent non-old firm games
Still, it's games like this that give the moaning c*nts on this board a chance to do their thing.
-
William Hill is offering 2/1 on us winning the game and Murphy scoring at some point during the 90 minutes.
I took that bet.
-
I doubt I'll make that, so if anyone fancies doing a little write-up when they get home it would be much appreciated.
-
I see we have the weather befitting a match between us and St Johnstone <_>
-
so why couldnt we get him?...
We probably couldn't match the wages on offer.
-
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what our highest paid player would be getting?
-
A free transfer who won't break the bank, so he's more than welcome at the club if McCall thinks he's good enough.
Hopefully see him this weekend, even if it is from the bench.
-
Right lads, I think the discussion on the actual game against Celtic is pretty much over. Lets look forward to the game with St Johnstone.
-
If Murphy continues performing at the level which has seen a lot of interest from south of the border his time will surely come.

I'm no your mate. mate

Are we talking both cheeks of the same erse or are we including Motherwell in this?
If so I'd say you're way off the mark, we have nowhere near the bigots either of the cheeks have, not even close proportionately.
I was talking about the Old Firm, but to be honest it's also fair to say that every club has its fair share of wallopers, including ours.
Of course, we don't have as many as the bigot brothers, but it could be argued that they have more because their support is bigger. It could also be argued that our wallopers can be considered on a level with Celtic & Rangers fans when the Scottish Government sees fit to call us to a meeting to discuss our detrimental effects on Scottish society.

smiley face - hillarious - smiley face
'discusions' with you folk determined to drag us down to the OF level are tire-ing.
There's a simple answer then mate. Don't get involved in the conversation.
-
Whats to discuss? Bigots are bigots whatever stand they sit in or whatever team they support
Exactly. Both clubs have their fair share of bigots.
-
Do you not think he'd be able to pick up similar wages to what Hearts are paying him if he moved to the lower leagues in England?
-
If were going to be honest Forrest was the motm on Saturday, Murphy got a bit to do before he makes the Scotland squad ahead of him going by Sats showing.
Forrest is playing in a team full of internationals against a side that cost less collectively than two of their players.
Stick Forrest in the Motherwell team and lets see how he does against Celtic at Parkhead.

I raised this point toward the end of last season and I'll raise it again.
There seem to be a number of Motherwell fans who put a great deal of emphasis on what Celtic supporters think of them and our club, so much so that they fret about the slightest thing that is likely to cause Celtic fans to turn their narrow minded 'siege mentality' on us. Frequent comments such as in the aftermath of a defeat to Rangers like 'what will the Celtic fans think of us, no wonder they call us H u n s without the fare..how can we possibly explain ourselves to them?' and now it's 'don't wave this flag, don't shout this, don't shout that, let's not offend the Celtic fans'....Do these folk REALLY care about Celtic fans opinions that much? I say fuck Celtic, fuck their supporters and fuck their opinions/persecution complex/mock outrage to everything that they don't like. We as Motherwell supporters owe them absolutely nothing, especially not any explanations or apologies or justifications for performances in games which do not involve them and most certainly not for the way our supporters behave, as let's face it, many of us know that despite what some folk would have you believe, the Celtic support are not the well behaved, fine upstanding people that they make themselves out to be, anyone who's been at a match between the sides, be it at Fir Park, Celtic Park or Hampden will probably have witnessed first hand what they can be like, with the way they behave and the things they shout or sing.
Celtic fans have no right to take the moral high ground with anyone so don't let them.
I'm not too sure that anyone really cares to be honest, it's simply a discussion on an internet forum.
Do you think the people who are discussing the matter here actually think about it in "real life"?
-
Maybe we should use our normal system then instead of changing it to one that suits the old firm better.
Exactly. We seem to change the way we play whenever we face them, and it's never worked.
-
We beat them relatively easily in the cup last season, and I'm not sure that they've improved much since then, whilst I know for certain that we have.
I'll go for a 3-1 scoreline.
-
It's maybe worth firing the club an email with those points mate, they've asked for input.
-
Justify nothing to them, turn the tables and ask why the majority of them sing Irish Republican songs before they get any sniff of an answer from you. One guy with a Union flag is hardly an embarrassment considering those quizzing you turn a blind eye to glorifying terrorism every week en masse, get a grip.
Christ man, is that how you would react to your friends & family?

I don't think there's really anything else that McCall could say to be honest. We just need to put it down as one of those things and start looking towards the game on Tuesday night.
