Is any of it getting recorded for a podcast?

If the bois and HHES want to gain any traction with their protests, they need to do a far better job of engaging the folk who are indifferent to their plight. This thread has shown that currently they are miles away from achieving this. It may be worth trying to look at this from the point of view of the average supporter, who really just wants to watch their team play football and doesn't feel the need to jump around or sing. What they see is every now and then some supporters run on the pitch, let off flares, etc, and therefore are hardly surprised when they hear of fans getting lifted. Then on the occasion when the bois have been hard done by, it's difficult to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Since the best game thread is going well, I thought it might be interesting to see what people view as the best individual performance they have seen in claret and amber. I missed most of Davie Cooper's tenure, so I'm sure there were some games where he absolutely roasted the opposition. I'm guessing faddy might feature in a few submissions too but I can't for the life of me pick out one game that stands out. I'll add an honorable mention of Davide Fererre, who (as I recall) came on as a second half sub against Hibs, either cracked the bar or narrowly missed from about 40 yards, then scored the exact same goal three times (played in on the right hand side of the box, one touch to set up, then drilled across the goal under the keeper). I'd put about 80% of this down to how terrible Hibs were, and he did nothing after that, but still one to remember. Don't think it's on youtube, which is a shame.

I have a feeling that once McGhee takes in a couple of u20 games, we may see a couple of guys given a chance. I dont think Cadden is too far away, and watt must be close to a comeback too.

Might be reading too much between the lines, but I get the impression McGhee thinks our squad is shite.

There was absoluteley no movement up front on the few times we had the ball, and our general passing was terrible. Both Laing and Grimshaw had terrible first touches, and chalmers did nothing to fill me with confidence. God knows what has happened to Johnson, but he showed nothing to suggest that he was ever a threat. Part of this may be that he is better suited to making runs wide and being played in by the midfielders, instead of working from deep. The scoreline flattered us too, with us getting away with 2 stonewall penalties.

Forgot this one, the game where Jamie Dolan had to go in goal, Billiy Davies scored a header, Andy Roddie had a good game, and Ian Ross scored the winner. Somehow my mate missed every goal, he was seething. I miss the games too. Even the cold 0-0s at Rugby Park and Pittodrie.

The Scottish cup game where he curled it in from the right? Think mcskimming also scored that day.

I'm not paying $15 a month to watch a max of 3 Motherwell games, so it will be a stream for me. Wish the old "live stream for overseas fans" idea didn't die a death along with MFC.tv

I can remember the occasion of the 91 cup final, but not really the game. The best single match I've attended would be the CIS semi final against hearts at Easter road in 2005. My son was born a few weeks earlier, so my brother and I had a few pre match shots to celebrate. That year was when this board was probably at its peak, and the cup run added to it, and the atmosphere in the ground was great. The whole occasion of the semi was awesome, and the game itself encapsulated all that is Motherwell, with us throwing away a lead then leaving it to an unlikely hero to pull it back. Then slating said hero for the remainder of his tenure. Still can't find any decent highlights online to share, although many of us have the dvd, which I'm going to fire on now since I'm working from home.

I notice that Falkirk stream live games for non-uk residents, is there a reason why they can do this and we can't?

I'm more interested in seeing who plays, and if there is a reaction from the squad, than the result to be honest. The same goes for next week. Taking points from both is possible, but most of us have written these games off. It will also be nice to see a game for a change, at breakfast time.

I do prefer McGhee's interviews to Bara's, as he at least comes across as having a clue.

In years gone past we would have hired and fired folk in non manager positions and no one would have cared less. Same goes for administrative staff. As much as I like hearing all that goes on at the club, it can work against them when they make a big deal about recruiting guys, for them to disappear without comment. Anyone know if we replaced the head of recruitment?

We were doing the same for the last guy I'm sure.

Always good to see who turns it on after phoning it in for the last couple of months.

What influence could burrows realistically have had? He was interviewed by the football committee and the owner, after touting himself for the job in the paper. He was hardly dragged out of obscurity.

Comebacks are what we do, so I agree.

Good point on simo. If we were two games from winning the league or cup, and our manager publicly applied for another job, this place would meltdown. At least McGhee waited until the end of the season.

Bold move by the sun considering they pronounced MVG as manager last time http://thesun.uk/6012B3EPG I'm now convinced it isn't going to be muttley.

I'll base my opinion on the manager on who just scored, every time that happens.

Usually the insider hints are stronger at this stage, so I'm not convinced it's McGhee either. Think Kenny Shiels has been leaking Mcghee's name to make himself seem like a better option when he gets it.

I'm sure it is better for him if there is a release to the press that he turned the job down, rather than that he was told he was unsuccessful. Guess it depends on who we go with. If it's some nobody then we can agree that craigan was our only choice, but if it is someone like McGhee I don't think we told him that we'd offer him the job if craigan said no.

It won't be craigan according to the sun http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/motherwell/6688512/You-can-rule-me-out-Les.html?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-scotsunsport-_-20151012-_-SunScotSport-_-253054333-_-Imageandlink

Then he takes off his mask and he's Ian baraclough, it was him all along, because that's the only level of comeback we haven't done yet.
