[Brian Mclaughlin]

A Real class act as a player, he was one of my heros as a kid. i'll never forget the cup game against Aberdeen at fir park when we were in the 1st Division and Aberdeen were one of the best teams in Britain, we got beat 1-0 with a goal scored after 9 seconds and Brian McLaughlin was excellent, but got sent off due to that cheating wee wean Strachan..........i do recall McLaughlin did knock him about 12 foot in the air tho!!

 

RIP Brian, always remembered fondly by Motherwell fans.Legend

[Which Former Manager Has The Best Win Ratio?]

its' got to be Davie Hay.

 

Season 81/82 was unbelievable, we pished almost every game!!

Great team, brilliant season!!

[Reynolds]

I'm not a huge fan of Quinn either but i can see why bigger clubs were looking at him, i think Quinn has more raw potential than Reynolds (as a defender) as he is naturally quite hard and isn't afraid to dig, that along with his height, the fact he is ok in the air, reasonably fast, i can see him becoming a good defender with proper coaching, as long as he loses the ned in him!!

 

I dont want to get too down on Reynolds cos i think he seems a decent lad, i'm just not sure of him as a player. The fact Gannon hasn't made any great noises about him either is not a good sign, i think if a bid comes in he'll be off!!

[Reynolds]

Looking for honest views on Mark Reynolds!!

 

Now i like the fact he's a local lad, motherwell fan etc etc therefore he'll never really get that hard a time off me.....however, totally contradicting myself here,

 

i think he is possibly the most overrated defender in the country, ok he's athletic, reasonably quick....but he cant tackle, cant head the ball, charges up the park aimlessly continually giving the ball away and is out of position a lot!! and when he plays against "proper forwards" he never shines and looks totally out his depth.(i also thought he was at fault more than Hutchison at the headed goal against Steau)

 

i'm not sure he could even cope as a full back and i doubt if he could be a midfielder.....i cant help think Gannon thinks he's not a central defender either!!

Now he keeps mentioning in papers interviews that his goal is to play in the premiership, i cant blame him for that, but i dont think he's anywhere near that standard.

i think we bombed when we didnt accept £1m from the h**s for him!!

 

or am i being harsh and talking shite?? i know what loads of you are like so i'm preparing for the "f**k off you're talking shite" ha, but there you go...devil may care!!

[David Clarkson]

All the very best to David,a true gentleman. i hope he enjoys a great career down south as he deserves it. i remember his first game for us and knew he'd have a good future. It stumbled a few times due to managers but you can tell he's came back stronger from it in particular the last couple of years.

 

You've done yourself proud at our club mate and you've done your family and your uncle proud.

get down south and get right in amongst it young man.

[Looks Definite Now He's Off !]

Good luck to him!!

 

he handled himself with dignity and represented the club well after Phil's death. He also got the best out of an average team in his first season.

 

End of the day though, he's been a reluctant manager for us for the past 18 months. He wanted the Scotland Job, The Reading Job, The Celtic job and now the Aberdeen job.

 

Hopefully our next manager will be someone who wants to be our manager, and has no hidden agendas!!

[New Manager-who Would We Get?]

i think it's a certainty we'll lose desperate dan to either aberdeen or celtic, therefore who will we get.

an old shout but luc nijholt would be welcomed back!!!

 

gawd please not scott leitch.

[Alex Mcleish Change Opinion?]

he is and has always been a tosser of the highest order, the ultimate media darling who buys all the tabloids on a daily basis to see whats written about him, then throws a huff if someone writes a bad article about him.

 

yet again this week he speaks to the press about his future....oh sorry a leaked story to the press...yeh right alex!! just incase his side blow it on the final day of the season and he can leave before he gets sacked, siting indifferances between him and his interfering board, so he can leave to get another half decent job as people still think his stock is high!!

 

he did make a muck of things at motherwell and left us in a complete mess even though he spent a fortune on sub standard players. ive spoken to a couple of ex motherwell players who were there during mcleish's time and they also think of him as a twat!!

 

anyway i'll not reserve judgement on him at all, he's a cock and an extremely fortunate one at that!!

ps, dont get me started on his stuttering imbecile of a sidekick...andy watson!!

[Does Mcghee Live In Cloud Cuckoo Land]

Article in the sun today with Mcghee telling us Motherwell supporters that we are watching the best football played at Fir Park in 40 years!!

 

where the f*k does this guy get the neck(even though he doen't have one) to suggest this, forgive me but really, i doubt Mr McGhee has ever been interested in watching Motherwell play prior to him taking over as manager, and even since taking over, his talking tends to concern blowing smoke up celtics arse rather than concentrating on his job at hand!!

 

ok we got to Europe last season, but really this year i feel has been horrific, i've rarely enjoyed a game, we have too many players who think they are better than they are and no individual players that could light up a game!!

 

i watched many a better motherwell team in the 70s and even under wee tommy there were a few good years, especially cup final season when we played some great stuff, how i'd long to see someone talented at our club again the likes of davie cooper.

 

Also even the team that narrowly got beat to Dortmund was an excellent side, much better than the dross that played on saturday!! also there have been individuals since that have been a pleasure to watch such as McFadden. Our present team joined could not match his ability.

 

McGhee in my opinion has brought one thing to the club, and thats fitness, nothing else!! and to tell me that this is the best in 40 years is a disgrace and a discredit to some great teams of the past.
