well fan for life

I think this is something the club actively push on potential new signings. You're going to get more exposure on TV for playing 45 good minutes against Rangers up here than you would get in 6 months in the Seaside Leagues down south. Surely if Forest aren't bothered about him he'd be up for staying as he's a nailed on starter next season for us. And obviously he has his off games, but watching him sending fullbacks to Upper Crust on his day it sensational entertainment.

I reckon we'd not score from about September-November then open December by demolishing someone about 14-0.

Inconsistent, mercurial players are my absolute jam. Lionel, Nadir and Gboly. Sometimes useless, but when they’re on a game they’re bloody marvellous.

I very much enjoyed this. Thought it was a good film to round out the whole Infinity saga. No a spoiler here, but a question. Was there a reference to PS2 classic game Ratchet & Clank early on, or was this entirely coincidental?

Aye I was absolutely in a world of hurt so I was just staring at the road in front of me to keep going. When you get to the wee Loch and it levels out it's lovely, then that second kick was another absolute slog. The wee sharp climb after the descent was fairly unwelcome as well tbh. I wasn't feeling great after but ground it out, stopped for a piss, a macaroni pie and a gel at the last rest stop and then absolutely ripped the last 10 miles.

I have never been so glad to hear bagpipes in my life!

Hartley's always got his magic powder empire he can fall back on. Donnelly might be an alright player somewhere but I'm not sure we can afford to have a guy who is injured about 80% of the time. Mbulu is...ok? It's a small sample size and I wouldn't be heartbroken to see him go.

I done Etape Loch Ness on Sunday for the first time. I knew Glendoe would be hard but that was borderline satanic.

I thought it was a very entertaining episode but some of the overly convenient timings and the invention of teleportation in Winterfell kind of ruined it for me. How did Jon Snow manage to go from being completely surrounded on all sides to being 200 yards away without a scratch? Jorah Mormont miraculously appearing in front of Daenarys when her tea was surely oot? Sam Tarly lying on a pile of bodies when they got rezed and he makes it away from them?! Obviously they can't just ice half the cast but it seemed like everyone in Winterfell died apart from the 8 that we actually know. The Wight Walkers were fucking pointless as bad guys as well. We got a class scrap at Hardhome with one of them and apart from that they just stood about with their thumb up their collective, undead arse.

Happy to see us setting our stall out early on David Turnbull. I reckon someone will have a pop at getting him in the summer though. OPEN THE TILL YOU c***s.

New Star Soccer Manager is my time waster of choice. It does result in some toilet breaks at work being about 20 minutes long.

Fucking hell man I had forgotten about that. Has that been lost to a purge or is it still lurking somewhere?

The ones sneaking out after Lionel scored in the play off at Fir Park were really the cherry on top of what was already a delicious cake.

Can't really argue with that. He's been cracking for us at times and has managed to pick up injuries at all the wrong times. I won't be heartbroken if he leaves, though.

I've now watched the full highlights of that play off final leg while I should be working. Not even mad.

I don't think you'll find anyone who can argue that he doesn't have the physical attributes to make a career out of it somewhere. While he was still an unknown quantity he was doing exactly what Fitzpatrick said here. Knock it 5 yards then absolutely roast them for pace. Since he's now on everyone's radar teams are doubling up on him and he's barely touched the ball. While I think we will accept a slightly lesser fee in return for a sell-on clause, I suspect it might not be the most lucrative deal we ever make.

The folk singing Flower of Scotland were a fucking minter that was off the scale.

Hunners of them. I'd honestly rather we only took 4000 fans than attracting 8000 of these weirdos.

This episode all felt very wholesome. Bracing myself for a couple of major characters to get their totties next week.

I never actually opened the article for obvious reasons. The headline itself was enough to give me a good wee giggle.

Didn't quite tickle me as much as this headline. It's difficult to not sound like it's sour grapes but there's not even a discussion to be had on this contest. Turnbull is probably the most technically gifted player I have ever seen at Motherwell.

Aye. It fair tickled me. I'm not entirely sure where this 'cash strapped' theory has come from as we didn't really spend anything and Moult/Kipré/sell ons got us cash for days.

It all felt very wholesome last night. Which means that they'll be handing characters their totties left, right and centre next week.

Sammon actually seems like he'd be ok if you give him balls to run on to and have a dig. Sadly when he was getting in the team all we done was fire it directly at his head.

I'm not chipping in on Hastie because it's all been said. But @capt_oats reminding me we got £300k for Heneghan got an actual lol out of me.
