  1. If it is Auckland FC he's joining, they'll be competing in the Australian A-League as an expansion team.
  2. Still waiting on a refund from Scotrail.
  3. Impossible to say who the greatest of all time is, for so many reasons, not least the number of guys those of us on here never got to see play. Willie Pettigrew was probably my first favourite, but my memories of guys I've seen since are much more vivid. Tommy Coyne would take some beating for me.
  4. Just feels like he's missed all season. Certainly not a successful re-signing.
  5. I doubt it. I wasn't sold on him coming but he spoke well about helping the young guys in his wee interview. I've a feeling he has enough professional pride to know whether his legs have gone at this level or not, and act accordingly.
  6. Yes, there is. But since you're not interested, why would you bother checking the facts?
  7. Levein's lot gave themselves something to play for on Sunday.
  8. The 4-2 Aberdeen game and 3-0 County game could be described as hidings. The other defeats this season, no.
  9. Out of interest, which teams on a honking run have given us a hiding this season?
  10. I'm not deflecting anything. Celtic's handling of the allegations at the time and ever since, using lawyers and the courts to drag cases out in an attempt to save themselves from potentially huge payouts has been horrendous. I hope that's a clear enough view for you. As for our club, even if it was a single allegation against Motherwell, does that mean it doesn't matter? You seem to be saying, pay them nothing unless they take you to court and win. In what way does that make things easier for the victims?
  11. Always preferred the claret shorts cos those were generally what we wore for years after I started going, but I quite fancy a wee return to the white ones next season. I'd go with a single band/hoop, the top on here's a bit busy for me.
  12. It was a joint decision between the parents and the club, according to Jim McMahon. I'd like to think that wouldn't happen these days. 'We exist to improve people's lives' - I know that pisses off a few folk on here, but I think it's a great way to look at the club and they certainly do that in many ways that make you proud. I hope that we act accordingly on any wrong doing uncovered by the internal investigation. What others do, or don't do, is up to them.
  13. Why would I get in trouble for repeating what the club have publicly admitted and issued an apology for?
  14. I would've agreed, but since that can has been opened, what part of kids being sexually abused by a Motherwell employee is not about Motherwell?
  15. There are no true colours involved here, we're not the Old Firm and it's not a competition to see who was worse. You raised the subject, so I'm asking about our responsibility. Should we as a club not make things easier for the victims, rather than as difficult as possible, as you - rightly - accused Celtic of doing? Leaving Hart aside, individuals who worked for Motherwell were clearly involved in allowing this abuse to continue elsewhere, whatever their justification, then or now.
  16. No idea. The club admitted two parents came to them alleging he had touched their kids. He was sacked, but it was decided the police should not be informed. He later committed the same offence at Partick Thistle. No one at Motherwell informed them of why he was booted from Fir Park. Are you saying we shouldn't pay any compensation to the people involved unless they can prove our culpability in court?
  17. Have we paid any compensation regarding John Hart?
  18. Scottish Cup 4th Round (Quarter Final) 1921, Motherwell 2 Partick 2. Replay 0-0, Partick won the 3rd game at Ibrox 2-1 and went on to lift the cup for the only time in their history.
  19. Mibbe I need a trip to Specsavers, but when was the last time they did that?
  20. That door's set to 78rpm. Cue some ex Easter Road numbskull telling us they need to get the next appointment right.
