  1. So does this latest signing mean that the utter pish being spouted by Stewart Gilmour and his minions about financial armageddon was indeed utter pish. I wouldn't have thought a club on the brink of financial collpase would be making signings in March with a view to the following season.
  2. This is where our track record can be vital with recruitment. Young guys like Boyd-Munce can see what has happened to the likes of Morgan, Mallan, McAllister, McGrath, McCarthy, Ronan, Erhahon, Strain and Baccus. International call-ups or big money moves down south await after a short spell in our first team. Boyd-Munce has been capped for NI at every age group up to U21 so hopefully he can come in, add a bit of steel in the middle of the park, get us top 6 and play himself into Michael O'Neill's plans. Only downside is, he doesn't seem to have played much first team football anywhere. But I trust the manager's judgement enough to give the boy a chance. SR and trhe boy himself both deserve that at the least.
  3. If we can get Caron, Strain, O'Hara and Main all tied down to new deal that would be unreal news. They've all been excellent. Our summer additions have been brilliant, but O'Hara has probably been the most consistent of the lot for me. I never really appreaciated how good he was at Motherwell. Definitely someone I over looked for a few years who is far better than I thought he was. Strain has also been an incredible find. I'm still in disbelief that Carson plays for us, yet Dundee United have had a goalkeeping crisis all season long. Absolutely mental decision from them.
  4. The latest series of DTS was utterly tedious. I really, really, really cannot stand Toto Wolff or Christian Horner. Both come across as total p***ks. They barely made enough of the clown show that was Ferrari 2022. They never quite told the story of just how shambolic their strategies were last season. Big David Brent vibes from Otmar Szafnauer every time he's on the screen. I enjoyed the first couple of series, but the last few have been pish. Just end the series now and give Guenther Steiner his own spin-off.
  5. He's only in place until the end of the season, I suspect he had absolutely no say in it whatsoever.
  6. Regardless of intent, it’s a red card all day long. I argued earlier in the season that Fraser one against Hearts wasn’t a red, but I feel this one is a far more straight forward decision. It’s a straight leg, studs up, contact above the ankle. He’s not even in control of the ball at the point of contact, which doesn’t matter but Neil McCann hilariously seemed to think so. It’s as clear cut a red as you’ll see, despite the fact I agree that there is no intent.
  7. I just wondered if she only believed that gay marriage was wrong and a sin. Or does she also want women found to be adulterers to sup only dirty water. What are her views on Christians not eating fat or blood?
  8. Have we established if Forbes actually follows every part of the bible? Or only select snippets?
  9. It is quite astounding that there were MSP willing to jump on the Forbes bandwagon without even scratching the surface of her religious beliefs. Why back someone that you have absolutely no idea what you stand for?
  10. The Rangers one was the correct decision. The Leeds one, on the othwer hand - there is absolutely nothing wring with that goal and I'd have been fuming if I was a Leeds fan.
  11. Not necessarily true. Marcus Fraser was sent off for us against Hearts earlier in the season when the referee had already awarded us a free kick. Fraser’s tackle went to a VAR check and he was given a red card and Hearts awarded a free kick, despite the fact a free kick had already been given to us and technically the ball was out of play. I feel St Johnstone have been fortune here. I think it’s a foul and a free kick to United. But I’m well up for pointing and laughing at the United defence. Top drawer stuff from Birighitti and Mulgrew.
  12. Was there anything raised about the winner here potentially being a foul? It’s a weird one for me, as anywhere else on the park if you slide in and take the ball and then wipe the man out with the follow through it’s almost certainly a free kick. It’s an interesting one. Still funny as f**k, right enough.
  13. I really, really, really hope we’ve already chucked a new contract under Ryan Strain’s nose already. Both he and Gallagher have been by far our 2 best signings.
  14. I get that this means I'm instantly seething/raging/hurting/crying or whatever variation you'd prefer....but that was quite obviously not his intention there. It ended up being a cracking finish, but there is absolutely no chance he has meant that. For the record, we were absolutely dog shit and didn't deserve anything from the game.
  15. Haven't looked at odds or potential shortlists, but I presume Kevin Thomson's pals are all over the media saying he's the perfect man for the job because he "loves footy"?
  16. Whoever keeps booking monotonous Simon Donnelly needs to be sacked.
  17. The BBC are the ones really to blame. They wheel out club cheer leaders like Willie Miller and Packie Bonner to cover "their clubs". Miller and Bonner should not be employed by the BBC at all. Not becaur they support Aberdeen/Celtic. But because they are dinosaurs who have not been relevant to Scottish football in 30+ years. I'm all for hearing clowns like Miller hurting live on radio. But I think I would prefer actual professional pundits to analyse the game, rather than glorified cheerleaders shouting their opinions and the eventual tears and snotters when they are humiliated. Miller is a clown, but he has the backing of the BBC, which is more worrying. Get it round every single person moaning about a silly Tweet making a light-hearted joke.
  18. Aberdeen are appealing the red card. Can't see them having much joy TBH.
  19. Dandy Dons fans tying themselves in knots over them letting Gallagher go for free only for him to then rock up at a league rival and immediately become one of the best centre backs in the division. Absolutely lovely stuff.
  20. He's definitely not the technical type. He's just a big physical presence up front. His goal record isn't particularly remarkable, but he had a knack of popping up with important goals in big games for us. He should be a good solid 7/10 in just about every game. Looking at the Motherwell squad, you guys seem so short-handed defensively. I can't believe how few actual defenders are in that team. Whilst there seems to be good players in amongst that squad, it's so unbalanced it's unreal.
  21. The point I'm making is that Reid should have been given more game time a year ago to help with his development with a view to bedding him into the starting 11 eventually. None of that happened at all and it started under Goodwin, who is supposed to have vowed to give him more minutes. As far as I;m aware, Robinson didn't make that same assurance.
