if that happens the EPL will adjust and charge the EU broadcasters more and they will pass on the increase to the landlady in portsmouth.

we've got to pay a development fee to celtic if he plays 5 first team games. 30 grand is the figure i've seen mentioned.

or that they won't knock back cash.

it's not the training or playing that is the problem usually it's playing without properly rehabbing injuries and not being able to train due to injuries. mcfadden's fitness was decent when he arrived because he was training but not playing at sunderland but as soon as he started regular matches he went into decline. carswell played through an injury for an extended period and ended up needing an operation that was probably avoidable. 40% of players at the world cup took painkillers before every game players are expected to play through injuries.

we lined up mcmanus and hutchinson at centrehalf and shipped loads of goals. personnel isn't the issue, tactics are. they both played well in the recent games against aberdeen and celtic when they had some protection in front of them from the midfield. up at tannadice the middle of the park was a shambles and they looked like a pair of haddies.

i remembered this as being a last minute winner but it was 83. still a great game.

i've only seem him play a handful of times and highlights of what he has done on loan but he looks like he has the tools to be a good player. you don't need to be a world beater to make an impact in this league. you can look at most teams in the league and see guys who contributed plenty despite clear shortcomings eg paul paton, higginbotham, callum patterson, ross draper, steven mclean, hasselbaink. as we've seen with kerr, murray and leitch over the past couple of months young players are more likely to swim than sink so developing any young players in the squad with potential to improve should be a priority.

he's built like a brick shithouse with a good touch and can finish. he could be a much better version of a young lee mcculloch for us if he is brought on correctly.

we're set in defence and need new players everywhere else. Reid, kerr, mcmanus, hammell, ramsden, murray and zfa is all the defensive cover we need. A new keeper is a must. Reid has worked immensley hard in midfield in his appearances there but it can't have escaped anyone that we have barely had a kick of the ball in those games. He's not a long term solution. A couple of midfielders and paying the money for dom thomas (along with erwin the only player at the club who might attractba transfer fee) has to be the priority. Up front i'm happy enough with sutton, anier and erwin (can't believe he's not made an apoearance yet). Back the three of them up with someone with some pace and we'll be looking strong in that department.

they were hurting big time yesterday when we eventually got to back to the car. i might have to get on iplayer at some point to listen to the entirety of richard gordon's pain.

hutchy reminded me of lasley when signed a precontract with plymouth but gave 100% and was MOTM in his final two games against celtic and hearts. i'll support the big man wherever he ends up.

he's brilliant on twitter#justiceforthe96

he was too busy not giving us a pen for the pull on hutchy to see big sutty mount clangers.

is there any footage of the fans celebrating the goal? that was up there with skippy sunday, lukas 6-6, hateley in denmark and keith at hampden for bedlam. Fuck knows what it would be like if we ever win something.

were did all the aberdeen fans go? That must be a world record for a stadium emptying.

the a90 is heaving with well fans.

another year on top of the one he already has?

speaking of the defence is anyone else having nightmares about that corner aberdeen scored on tuesday? mcginn and hayes will be putting every corner and set piece right under our bar guaranteed.

just double however long you usually take to get to dundee.

he gave omar daley a run out and an appearance bonus on the final day of last season so ripping the pish out the club obviously doesn't disqualify anyone from getting a game under mccall. people said jim paterson wasn't out of shape under malpas yet mcghee made him a far better player by forcing him to lose a bit of weight. our second half performances every week show we have a fitness problem across the squad so i don't know how much faith we can have in the training the players are doing.

when your team earns ten times what the opposition do you can afford to carry a fat lad. commons was a nobody in england and gets away with murder up here.

do you think he's in the best shape he could be?

he looks lazy because he's lazy. he's slow because he doesn't train hard enough. that's good enough for motherwell these days though which is why this season has been as entertaining as watching paint dry.

the stewards aren't going to restrain kids but the club have to be seen to be doing something so they hire them anyway.
