Did our last attempt at filling the SLO position not see them have a meltdown and resign after something like 2 days? And that was with Burrows still at the club fielding Tweets from his reply guys
Pretty sure we appointed 3 of them one morning and they were all gone by lunchtime.
A volunteer role that you couldn't pay me enough to take.

Still to this day dislike Stuart Armstrong for that reason.
Know that thing where you remember something embarrassing you done like 10 years ago and it keeps you up at night. He must have the worst of all time for that.

Louis Moult scoring twice in the League Cup semi is probably my all time favourite Hampden moment(s).
However, as much as Hampden gets a hard time for atmosphere, I have never in my life seen a stadium collectively lose it as much as I have when Griffiths' second free kick hit the back of the net against England. Carnage all round. If we'd hung on it would have been a full on pitch invasion I reckon.
Stuart f**cking Armstrong.

A real shut up & play the hits feel to Robinson's latest soundbite about the new St Mirren signing:

This is very true nowadays. I think we have to pad out the squad to a certain extent and the fringe players who get a bad press are more likely to be the ones we've had to use. If Shields had been a backup centre forward, rather than a first choice right winger, then we'd probably not be as frustrated by him. Robbie Crawford wouldn't have got as bad a press if we didn't have to play him every week for half a season. On the other hand, you don't ever hear anyone talk about Justin Amaluzor, because he came in and got the odd cameo off the bench and was able to remain a fringe player.
That said, I do still long for the days under McCall etc where we had 14 or so first team players and padded the squad out with youth. He did get exceptionally lucky with injuries right enough.
Aye. The fact we'd painted ourselves into the corner of having to have Crawford, Mugabi, Johansen, Lamie, McGinley etc all in the starting XI week in, week out is probably why they all tend to catch a lot of heat. All of them are *maybe* good enough to patch a gap on occasion (I'm being kind here) but having them all in the team is relegation material.

We peaked at Bigirimana playing Heads Up. It's never getting any better.

Can't lie I sacked in the winter series after about a week because it was shite.
This series has been box office so far though.

I've done all the temples in TOTK and could now straight-line it to the final boss but I'm having a smashing time doing all the wee side-quests. I'm about 100 hours into it as well.

Not if you know what you are doing.
My use of the word speculative has created a wee reaction for whatever reason
. Maybe I should have used the word risky instead. Jesus I wish I had !
Virtually every player we sign is speculative. It may be based on lots of knowledge, but with the money we can afford to pay every signing carries a risk as to whether they perform for Motherwell or not.
At the moment it looks like a rather big mistake.
I think this is absolutely fair. Every signing we ever make is a bit of a gamble. It just seems fucking mental that this gamble took months to do while we had nobody at the club who knew how to defend.
I would love to see him come good but I just can't see it happening. He's an attacking midfielder who is nowhere near the level of Spittal (who would have been a shoo-in for our POTY until that fucking weirdo Twitter account triggered KVV into becoming the best player in the country).

Could be wrong as the comments about Danzaki from SK weren’t great, but could him not being in Holland be a Visa/ passport issue? As it took us long enough to get him over here.
Next bit of #content is going to be Riku reenacting that Tom Hanks film The Terminal but in Schipol airport.

I get that the change of shape etc has maybe been a bit of a problem for him but him not even been fit enough(or whatever) to even make a squad isn't a great look on him. I'd be massively unsurprised if we come to some sort of agreement that sees him get hunted in the very near future.

Danzaki not in Holland as far as I can see in the pics. Anyone noticed him?
With each passing day the odds are beings slashed on him never being seen in ML1 ever again.
Oh to have been a fly on the wall in those zoom calls.

If we are going this "traditional" as a home kit we better be cooking up something batshit as an away kit.

We are apparently about to sign Liam Donnelly. What's he like? I know nothing about him which can only be a bad sign and what I have read from your fans hasn't exactly been glowing in praise.
Got injured and became a shitebag. Probably more suited to a centre back but appears to have carved out his own niche in midfield. A great signing if you're looking for a guy to do absolutely f**k all in the middle of the park. Specialises in watching folk run off him to score.

Oh...
See to be fair he was still a great forward for them. Made us look like dicks in the game they won in April at Fir Park.
I mean it slightly drags it off topic here but there's more than a few decent players in that United squad. They were just hampered by the fucking idiots they had in goals and at the back.

I think someone should tweet this at Burrows.

We're always having a moan about players getting hoovered up by those types of clubs before they've kicked a baw for our first team so the fact that he's still here and looks like an absolute unit who might be quite good means it'd be nice if we actually made a go of getting him into the first team.
And, crucially, he's not Ricki Lamie or Bevis Mugabi. Which is important for me at least.

I've played 11s against Ally McCoist in the recent past and he might be a bit out of shape but he's still much, much, much better than literally everyone on our team.

Seems that Dean has signed for Harrogate Town
Having attended one League 2 game in my life I am willing to go on record and call it a fucking terrible league. Fair play to him if he's making a decent wedge out of it though.

If you're demanding a seven figure fee then are you happy for the club to pay a wage in that bracket to keep him there?
That perfectly reasonable section of our fan base were probably bombarding the club with emails demanding their £5 Well Society contribution went directly to van Veen's bank account.

We're starting the season with a Bevis/Lamie pairing again aren't we?
McGinley at left back, Maguire in midfield. HWFG.

Lads I've solved it. We make both of these roles into one. You need to air your grievances at a giant superhero costume holding a girder as a pet.
