Unfortunately, that was his one job. You're right about Hibs.

He beat Mbappe in a race to Onestis.

Hamilton will scrap like fuck, as always. Smart money would be on them surviving, not us. And I see nothing at the club to suggest we're up for a fight.

Aye, he's a genius. Starting to look like he turned up at Fir Park with a measuring tape, bag of nails and a hammer.

Somebody shout Ready, Steady....

At the moment, both of them are to blame. Alexander's still got a chance to sort it. But then he takes off Maguire.

Would've been 2 tin cans and a bit of string, but they're playing in midfield for us.

Polworth looks devastated. There's something going on.

We look like Brazil. Against Germany.

So Alexander can bring him on late and blame him. Oh, that was the other guy.

I defy anyone to explain why we brought any of those players here in January or why Alexander is persisting with these tactics. Add in a ward full of injuries/illness and the fucking hopelessness of the players who were already here and relegation looks entirely probable.

Happy hour? Fuck off.

Did Alexander get booked again there?

I don't care who's available and who's not, these tactics are utterly clueless. Again. And again.

Another tanking on the way.

Probably not. Nobody checks the players before they arrive here.

Jordan Roberts getting a glowing reference from the Hearts guy on View from the Terrace: 'The most negative winger in world football' Why did Motherwell take him on loan? 'I've no idea, it's baffling'. No just us then.

Remember when loans were generally young guys in need of experience at a lower level and clubs were loathe to let them go anywhere they wouldn't get game time. We now appear to be bringing in players who are not only surplus to requirements at their parent clubs, but here as well.

Imagine championship level.

It's a wonder we didnae sign Stanley Matthews on the basis 'class is permanent'.

I wonder if he meant formation rather than personnel.

Yeah, I get that Scotland caps won't feed a family, but playing (hopefully well) at an international tournament isn't a bad way to sell yourself to a bigger club. Even at 20 you might never get the chance again. Gallagher might no have been at his best this season, but if more of our signings worked out like he has, we'd be doing OK. Still comes back to the contract details being made public. That doesn't happen, we wouldn't be having this particular conversation.

To be clear, I don't doubt Gallagher's injured. Here's what I'm speculating about: someone shared his confidential contract details with the press, and it wisnae a window cleaning dog's neighbour. Everybody knows they're no shy about printing fairy stories, but this wee snippet has led to prolonged speculation about Gallagher's professionalism, which has now amplified because he's picked up an injury at precisely the point most folk assumed the supposed contract extension was about to be triggered. Bad timing for us, unfortunate timing for him. You said it yourself, any player behaving in such a manner would be delivering a huge fuck you to their club, and even a whiff of a possibility could seriously affect their future employment prospects. So, under the circumstances, if the contract story wasn't true, I wouldn't be sitting with my mouth shut. Though I'm shutting it about this from now on. It's not really much of a conspiracy theory (which I cannae be arsed with anyway), mibbe a cautionary tale about people imagining they can use the press. As I said in a later comment, injury permitting, I'm sure he'll be back in the team asap, hopefully make the Euros squad and off to bigger money in the summer, which will suit him and us, as long as we stay up. And I expect him to give 100%, same as the rest, whatever they think of the fans.

I'll go with Gallagher being back in the team soonish and the trigger disappearing. Needs must: He needs to play before the Euros. We know he's off and need him in the team now more than we need the transfer fee next season.

I've no idea what is or isn't up with him. I hope he's back sooner rather than later. But I would ask, did the media invent the story about an extension trigger, and if so, why? Honestly, who gives a flying feck about that other than Motherwell fans? And since when did we sell papers? Also, why has no one just said it's bollocks? So it's really a question of who told them? You widnae need Columbo to work that out. Given that info's out there, the timing of Gallagher's injury starts to look suspicious. Probably also bollocks, but if certain people had kept their traps shut in the first place, nobody would be discussing it now.
