That shirt is fucking terrible.

That's why I said that I was going on yesterdays game only. I certainly wouldn't be complaining if he steps up and plays a blinder against Hearts on Sunday.

I can live with the various clubs who are supposedly "linked" with Murphy as long as none of them actually approach the club with an offer. We've been hearing about scouts at our games, bigot brother interest and all sorts for weeks now, but McCall said on Friday that there had been no contact from anyone regarding the lad. That's good enough for me. I'll start worrying when it's announced officially that the club have accepted a bid for him.

Going on yesterdays game, he was pretty terrible. The amount of times he basically ran over the ball and messed up an attack was shocking, and very frustrating.

Any update on this?

It was a close one between Hutchy & Law, with Law getting the nod from me. He seemed our best bet of a goal, or of someone creating something that would result in a goal today.

Aye, there was a surprisingly large away crowd today, and the 'Well boys were in good voice at the front left of the stand. Today highlighted the fact that we seriously need a striker. McHugh doesn't seem up to the job. I was hoping he'd step up to the plate today, but he was largely awol. In all we fully deserved the point we got, even if we could have gotten all three had we been a bit sharper.

There's nothing on the websites of the Scottish Herald, The Independent or Daily Record website. In fact, a quick Google news search shows that there is nothing linking Murphy with a move to Wigan except that news site you linked. Also, there's an interview with Stuart McCall on the Herald site today which quotes him saying;

Where do our under 19's actually play? Creamery Park? Who owns that stadium?

We're based in the Chadwick stand for this game it would seem.

As I said, if we don't see £2 million then we refuse to sell. That's what I would do anyway. Considering the money that English clubs are tossing around for players these days £2 million is pocket change.

If we get offered over £2 million then we have to accept it. Anything less and I would hope the board turn it down.

Maybe one of the guys who sits up the far end of the east can answer this, but how many of you are there? The reason I ask is, if there were enough numbers, couldn't you split into two and hit both sides of the east stand, thus hopefully encouraging some singing from the Cooper and the middle of the east?

Kilmarnock away this Saturday. Our result at the weekend was excellent, but it's worth noting that Killie nabbed a point from Tannadice which isn't too shabby either. I'm thinking that this game has a point written all over it, hopefully a score draw if that's the case. Anyone think we need to change anything about the team from the weekend? I heard McCall saying that Higdon was carrying a knock, but hopefully he's okay to play even if he doesn't last the full match again. The more game-time he gets, the fitter he'll become. Also, is anyone thinking of going? I'll be there, and it'll be my first trip to Rugby Park.

To be expected. All we can do is hope that Murphy is smart enough to listen to the likes of Stuart McCall and continue his progress. He should be in no rush, as a big move will be waiting for him at the end of this season, especially if he does well in the campaign.

Aye, I never actually thought of that. I just thought the middle would be best to get others to their left & right involved.

I agree. I think there would be more people willing to join in if the singing was to start from closer to the middle of the stand. Still, it was a great showing! Well done lads!

Does anyone know how long his contract has to run?

Stay top of the league!

Assuming that young Murphy decides to see out this season with us, what do you think he's capable of accomplishing? Is this his year to be a breakout star? Will he eventually get the international recognition that some think he deserves already? Going by what I've seen thus far, and it has only been one league game and a few pre-season matches, I think he looks as though he ready to step up to the plate and become a real star this season. I just hope he's sensible enough to recognise that another season with us is what he needs at this point in his career.

Not meaning to sound nasty but I'm glad to hear that. I've not been overly impressed by him, but hearing he has an injury suggests there's better to come.

An absolutely superb first half performance! We took the foot off the pedal 2nd half right enough, but Inverness didn't really have anything to offer. Lasley's goal must be an early contender for goal of the season?

Is it? I see he's got on the wrong side of Hutch & Flow with his Twitter posts!

Who the fuck is "Steelmen Fan Page" on Twitter? He's not anyone from here, is he?

I hope we aren't debuting that abortion of an away kit today.
