  1. If the general price is set at £3,000,000 which I think is a reasonable price to set (alongside a few bonus clauses), AND a figure that won't completely scare medium-sized clubs off down South...we should be telling Celtic that we want £4,000,000 off them as additional compensation for selling to a direct competitor.

     

    Also, the bit where they've asked to be kept in the loop, my response to that would be 'aye, nae problem Peter, will do mate', before hanging the phone up and muttering, 'f**k you, ya cockend, you'll be getting told nothing'

    I have mates who are 35 and lived in Scotland for 35 years who would be offended by being called Scottish.

    Nationality is a personal thing and if the lad doesn't feel Scottish or care about Scotland then who are you to tell him he's Scottish?

    Your mates are bawsacks I bet

    While everyone's made-up definitions of world class are all very interesting, the dictionary states it means "of or among the best in the world".  Robertson fits the bill.

    Thats it in a nutshell...sitting here laughing at everyone trying to define it, when its easily definable via the use of a good old-fashioned dictionary.

     

    To suggest Robertson isn't World Class, is borderline insanity...I'd also argue that at the peak of his powers, Paul Lambert was considered to be 'among the best in the world' in his position.

    Yeah, they're equally bad. "Haw but you're supposed to merge at the end" doesn't excuse it.

    They're using the space that the authorities clearly want us to use...otherwise they would have closed the road further back

    Perhaps, but that doesn't make it less bawbaggish behaviour.

    The thing that irritates me most in that circumstance (and it generally happens at rush hour) is the fucknuggets that stop at the slip road when there are literally acres in front of them...in turn, causing a longer tailback than would really be necessary, and hampering junctions and roundabouts at the top of the slip road in the process.

     

    You should literally drive all the way to the end of the slip road, as thats what they are for

    I've got a wee feeling we'll have a decent season next year. Both Edinburgh clubs are probably looking at pretty major overhauls in the summer, Aberdeen look like they're slipping back into mediocrity again, and Killie will surely revert back to the mean somewhat as they adjust to life after Clarke. Given the Dundee sides are both out the top flight as well this looks like us or St Johnstone's best chance of breaking into the Top Six again for a while. 

    I'm not saying we'll be finishing 3rd again or anything but if we can replicate Robinson's 2017 rebuilding job where an entirely new team clicked pretty much immediately- and hopefully avoid going into meltdown the entire month of December- then I'm cautiously optimistic that we can at least put in an actual serious challenge for the top half, instead of playing catchup like this year. 

    On paper at least, our summer business looks about as good as anyone could have reasonably expected. Sloth has genuine pedigree,and Gallagher/Polworth are proven at this level. Carroll I 100% expect to be shite because he's a left back not named S. Hammell. If we can get an upgrade on Main and somehow hang onto Turnbull for another year then I think there's a lot to be positive about.  

    With Livi, St Mirren, Ross County and Accies in the league this season, the absolute minimum we should be looking at should be an 8th place finish, which should allow us to possibly push the boat out a wee bit and really make an effort for that Top6 place.

    I'm pleased to hear this as it kills the atmosphere stone dead whenever they move away fans from the South stand bottom tier, plus it presents a potential safety hazard for home fans in the PO'D stand when the Old Firm are in town. On the flip side of that it may increase the risk of their fans buying home end tickets should the South Stand sell out, but that's when the club and Motherwell supporters need to 'police' who gets to buy tickets.

    Well done to Alan Burrows and the board for listening to the support. It's brilliant to have people running the club in touch with the fans, especially when you think back to the days of John Boyle bending over to the Old Firm at every turn.

    Agreed...although I'm fairly certain there will be **** and **** in the Copper and East during most OF matches anyway.  As long as they don't 'out' themselves, it isn't really a problem and whenever they have done in the past, they've ended up on the wrong side of a sair coupon.

  8. So, the Old Firm (or any visiting fans for the matter) will be housed in the South Stand only from now, due to concerns over segregation and ultimately safety.

     

    On the face of it I'm delighted, particularly when we play the Glasgow b*****ds, it will make our own stadium seem, more like our own. What do we think the financial ramifications of this decision actually are?

  9. We've been away from European fitba long enough now, for me to absolutely crave another shot at it...

    ...Nancy was undoubtedly the best trip all in all, leaving Bellshill at 11pm and driving to Bristol for an early morning flight wasn't my best idea, considering everyone else in the motor was blitzed by the time we passed Larkhall. A few hours in Paris, seeing Claret and Amber clad folk, dotted about all over the place. The square in Nancy was jumping for days, a few pints with John Boyle, emptying a carry-out shop of their last remaining alcoholic beverages...and their one and only trolley. The polis letting off tear gas in the stadium, because a few 'well fans wanted to leave at the final whistle. Everything about the trip was minted.

    Llanelli, again driving through the night on the Joker bus, to arrive in Llanelli at 6am, already gassed and just kept bevvying, nae idea how I made the game, and then straight back on the bevvy afterwards.

    Bucharest...traveled myself via Amsterdam, and met mates over there. Again, blitzed (seems to be a recurring theme) for the whole time I was there...City Centre was lovely, but go a few streets out with the centre and it was pretty grim...the polis giving 3 of us a lift to the ground for our own safety. Going to an outdoor nightclub in the middle of a forest, with what appeared to be Romanian gangsters, seems like an even worse idea than driving to Bristol for a flight to Paris.

    Odense...a bus from Fir Park Club to Denmark...fucking Denmark. Was absolutely brilliant to be honest, literally got to Odense about 3 hours before the game, and straight back on the bus afterwards to come home, but it was worth it to see that Hateley strike in the flesh. A few Motherwell fans lifted in the town centre that day, and one or two in the ground as well. Still feel sorry for the poor bus driver that had to tidy that bus up at the end of that shift.

     

    So aye, about time we had another trip...sort it out Robbo

     

    p.s. had heard we were signing a Danish international midfielder at the weekend, and was concerned that it might be one of the amateur boys that got capped when the Danes went on strike, so to see the pedigree of the guy we have signed is a bit of a relief.

    Am I the only one completely underwhelmed if it's Clarke?

    nope...me too. A lazy, lazy appointment from the SFA, again

     

    Clarke has done well with Killie, but if thats the blueprint for success nowadays then we are in bother.
