Not suggesting we should get into any sort of virtue signalling. But given the circumstances, it would be nice if we as a club/support could reach out in some way and show some support to Imrie and his family.....

The club made a post on twitter from the official account as did a few other clubs. I suppose it will depend what the families wishes are and maybe if they want folk to donate possibly to a charity or the hospital. I know a lot of fans of other clubs and Motherwell fans have tweeted support too. Id be happy to give a donation if the family wanted it

Yeah, support can be offered by the club privately in order to avoid such a scenario.

He's flying back not walking, so i don't think sitting in a plane for a few hours will tire him out enough to miss 3 games.

 

If he flying to and from NZ, it's closer to 2 days each way not just a few hours and it's tiring.

It’s because he’s shite, but many on here will continue to make excuses for him because ‘effort’ etc. 

You are very black and white when it comes to AP

I'll stick to the grey right now and see what direction it turns. 

Is AP better than Connor Shields for example? Dismissing as shite doesn't tell a full picture.

People can make excuses for any player if they like as far as I'm concerned. He had a tough season last year for various reasons and I don't think it's in doubt that he puts a shift in. Hopefully the signing of Hendry will help too but there's a long way to go before the end of the season.

He plays for Motherwell - I'll back him

If we move Haliday on let's make sure we get a younger replacement 

Defo not as fast as he used to be but still has the moves

My own view is I still feel Stama will come good, with Hendry now in it provides healthy competition

I would keep Halliday if he is happy to stay. Obvious he isn't going to be a starter but we need a healthy squad plus his experience vital both on and off the pitch

If a so-called top-level striker needs squad competition plus the time and patience he’s already had to ‘come good,’ then perhaps he wasn’t top-level to begin with. His contract alone should be motivation enough, or maybe he simply isn’t capable of reaching the level his signing implied.

Arsene Wenger says a new player needs a 6 month stint in the first team to 'come good' - and that's if they have moved from a team in the same league. Longer if they are from a different league.

Maybe he's right.

Maybe, but Wenger had the privilege of a large squad, which allowed him to take that approach with new signings. We don’t have that privilege.

Drole, even for you.

For someone who went a little overboard in claiming you know me a couple of seasons back you could answer your own question.

Not a piss take or a criticism but when she mentioned that her brother seemed to have knowledge of the goings on at fir park the first person I thought of was you. Yes I do know you but I don't know your family situation.

Injuries didn't help last season plus the way Kettlewell had him playing.   If it doesn't work out i will hold my hand up but I'm not giving up on him yet

No need to apologise in that scenario. We just see the situation differently.
