  1. 12 bookings in 20 league games for the bold Donnelly. He will be suspended for the Ross County and Hearts games.
  2. 3 goals in 5 games for Murphy at Burton. Going by the media we were obviously interested in him but Gerrard probably preferred getting him out of Scotland in case he outperforms his collection of duff wingers.
  3. It's listed on the official site as live video. I can see a nil nil here. The temperature is forecast to be freezing by kick off. Not exactly an enticing fixture.
  4. There is no way they actually cost us money. That was just Dempster talking shite.
  5. Having a look around people seem to think that due to other fixtures it's likely to be Hibs vs ICT Friday night, Hearts vs Rangers Saturday lunchtime, Us/Midden vs Sheep/Killie Sunday lucntime, Saints vs Celtic Sunday afternoon.
  6. This should be a good motivator for the replay. A home QF is a great carrot. I think I read that all four QFs are on TV so we might get the Saturday night slot again.
  7. He looks like Paul Hartley's love child so he should do well there.
  8. Gillespie made a great save in the first half to keep us ahead and even better one when the whistle had already blown.
  9. It was a decent strike in the corner. The issue was the time and space the guy had in our box. Donnelly the culprit I thought. Lack of quality killed us. We had a 20 minute period in the second half where we were dominating but didn't have any cutting edge. Taking off O'Hara rather than Polworth was a big error.
  10. I doubt he's on a huge deal more than he was here. Also Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
  11. The site says that the signing bonus is included in that figure split across the contract. When you look at the wages of his teammates he is clearly at it. They have 13 players on more than $350,000 a year including 6 on more than 800k and Cadden goes and signs for relative buttons. Some agent he's got..... Oxford may have been paying him more but they aren't now.
  12. His guaranteed wage at Columbus Crew is only $56,000 p.a (£43,000) which suggests he was never planning to hang around there. He's the lowest paid guy on the team by a fair distance. He's almost certainly on less than he was at Fir Park. I think Oxford and Columbus cooked up a plan to shaft us and the MLS killed it when FIFA got involved. https://mlsplayers.org/resources/salary-guide
  13. He did do relatively ok. It just doesn't seem right to think we are getting behind a guy who can't pass, cross or shoot to be our starting right back for the next two years. We need more quality there.
  14. Did you see his pass in the first minute? He did well in one on ones last night but the posts above describe his weaknesses. Right back will be one of the easiest positions to upgrade in the summer. Sadly that means Tait has to go.
  15. The first half was fine. It was the complete capitulation in the second half from Donnelly's transformation into a choir boy to the pathetic effort at goal kicks. The Seedorf substitution sucked the life out of the team as we are down to ten men. Taking off the three attackers and not refreshing the midfield was bizarre. We basically gave up at 2 nil.
  16. I'd rather we brought in pro level players.
  17. There are probably junior teams with more quality than the three we have up top just now.
  18. It's the easy option for him. A complete coward of a player. Twice tonight he had a chance to shoot and passed the ball to a player with three Celtic players on him. Then how many times does he blast a hopeless shot when he's should be trying to create?
  19. Donnelly 11/8 to get booked tonight. Never seen a player that short for a card before!
  20. No they can't. He cost 3 million. They need transfer fees like Armstrong and Dembele to cover their wage bill if they don't make the CL.
  21. Tom Rogic hasn't kicked a ball in years. They will cash in on Christie soon then develop Turnbull as the next asset to sell on.
  22. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/cardinals-view-angers-scots-1389984.html This guy?
  23. Saying there aren't many Motherwell fans in Motherwell is pretty stupid but it might seem like that if you went to Our Lady's then moved away. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/jan/25/deborah-orr-parents-jailers-i-loved An excerpt from Deborah Orr's book if anyone is interested.
  24. Apart from the goal he sold from the corner getting done by Helander. He can look decent at times but he always seems to have a mistake in him.
