Maybe just pity the majority in the provincial towns still head to those places in droves on a Sat leaving Fir Park one man and his dog
But it's okay we know there only most people's second teams anyway
Is this some form of Pidgin English?

Even though they would better your team?
Yes...the Old Firm are a blot on the footballing and societal landscape of Scotland, f**k the pair of them. If Middleton or Johnston get released then I'd be more than happy to take them.

Keith Wright was a decent player. Certainly not deserving of being singled out from a team containing McKinlay, McInally, Morris and Boyd.
btw how in God's name did Boyd get 72 Scotland caps ? Apart from playing for Celtic, obviously.
Boyd was a very good player, very consistent, rarely injured and never retired from International duty at a young age like the current p***k that is captain of Celtic...all that said, Boyd is a thoroughly unlikeable individual, a total knob of a guy

A four-year deal on at least £5k a week? Nice work if you can get it, Jake.
I've heard its nowhere near 5k a week

If you're still in contact with these weirdos, could you please tell them to take a run and f**k to themselves. Cheers

Just had a look through Well Fans II re the signing of Gallagher.
There's been so many times when I've wanted to respond to posts on that page but I just can't seem to bring myself down to the level of thickness on there.
I have to say though, I'm devastated that we'll no longer be thought of as a "family club" on the back of this one signing.I have a confession to make...much of the hand-wringing on Well Fans 11 has been my doing, I like noising some of the dafties up on there.
I honestly couldn't give a shite what Declan Gallagher got up to in a previous life, I just hope that he turns out to be a good player for us.

Had a dream the other night that wasn't particularly interesting to be honest, the dream centred around me chatting to John Cleese about how outstandingly brilliant Fawlty Towers was...that was it dream over, woke up for work. Quick shower, clothes on and out the door.
Into the car, put on the radio...and a section of the news report was on a Scotsman poll that had found that Fawlty Towers was voted the best British comedy of all time. Coincidental obviously but fucking weird all the same, and stuff like that happens to me from time to time.

If it's any consolation, you have "cherry-picked" a very decent defender from our squad.
I realise we do it to other teams as well, doesn't make it any less frustrating when it happens to us though

Having witnessed their perfomances at the the Reserve Cup Final, I wouldn't be surprised if Maurice Ross has told Robinson to take them to f**k.

My point was more that Main does a lot of putting himself about and holding the ball up which is fine when he's up front himself and we need him to bring others into play. With this current system where we have midfielders who can actually keep a hold of the ball and out-and-out wingers who can create chances I feel that we just need a striker who's main role is to put the ball in the net which, unfortunately, Main doesn't do a lot of.
If that were the case, we'd just fling Danny Johnson up front instead of Curtis Main...Johnson just scores goals after all.
The Main thing is a real conundrum, I've 'had words' with folk at games recently for the constant abuse the guy is getting, and I understand that hes not scoring goals (which is generally pretty mandatory for a number 9 to do), and that he often mis-times his jumps when attempting to win headers against much taller defenders (bearing in mind he is only 5'10")...but what I can see is that his effort and his physicality is often occupying at least 2 defenders, opening up gaps for the likes of Hastie to take that through ball from Tait or to allow Frear to score that opener against St Johnstone after Dunne bounced the ball off Main with his back to goal. Some people watch games without ever really understanding them I feel.
In all my time, watching Motherwell, I can never remember a striker who looked completely comfortable up front on his own and scored goals, except Michael Higdon. John Sutton couldn't have played that role in a month of Sundays.

Thats the Cadden and Frear that are both out of contract at the end of May though, remember

The poster who said Hastie is the new Ross Forbes looks to have nailed it. Remember folk on SO were saying Forbes would play for Scotland one day? Lolz!
Hastie should be going to wherever the money is. If he can get himself a deal in the MLS that's worth over $200k a year, he owes his agent a gammy. He's had a purple patch in his first 10 games of his Premiership career and looks to get a lucrative move on the back of it. All the best to him.
That'll be me....

It really does look to me that Hastie has had a similar sort of initial impact that Forbes has had, and y maybe even knows himself that hes not quite as good as the papers would have us believe. If thats the case and hes cashing in, then I cannae blame him at all.

Really? I was still shiteing it come the 2nd leg personally, probably despite the reality of situation. I don't think i relaxed at all until that sweet sweet moment of Bell punching it in his own net.
Aye, I suppose there is always a wee lingering doubt in your head, but after seeing how we performed, and more importantly, our attitude in terms of not rolling over to the ****, in the 1st leg, I was more than comfortable in terms of nerves in the 2nd leg. I was nervous as f**k for the 1st leg, but not really at all for the 2nd.
Rangers were brutal that season, proven by the fact they were in the play-offs in the 1st place, we fucking slaughtered them at their place, we gave them a few hundred tickets for the South Stand...it just all added up to a comfortable 2nd leg, from my point of view.

I think half-time at Ibrox, 2-0 up is the happiest I've ever seen some Motherwell fans. Unbridled joy when it was least expected.
Still felt we could mess it up three days later, we didn't though...
'We were a class above them'
I broke a self-imposed ban on going to that fucking place just because of how important the situation was for the Club...the scenes following each goal and at 90mins wasn't just excitement, it was a relief that I've never felt before. I'm pretty certain that I could handle my Club being relegated, but being relegated in a play-off against the resurrected ***, when I had spent the previous 4 years or so, slaughtering their every move, would have been utterly grim. The thought of it still gives me the fear.
The 2nd leg was just a fucking party...everyone knew, including the ****, that they didn't have a hope in hell of over-turning that 1st leg defeat.

The club are going to get it tight here, but it's worth considering the flack they've got previously for signing young lads on to long term deals, only to later discover they weren't actually up to much.
Just off the top of my head I'm thinking of Dom Thomas, Zaine Francis-Angol, Fraser Kerr, Adam Cummins and Bob McHugh. I'm sure someone will list more obvious players than that too.
Hastie's breakthrough into the first team has been pretty spectacular, far beyond what anyone would have anticipated. I'm sure we would have been working behind the scenes to try get a deal sorted, but on the other hand, look at guys like McKinstry who has moved on without kicking a ball for the first team. Agents clearly become aware of interest from elsewhere and they'll play a big role in advising the player as to where their future is best served.
I think he's going to really struggle for game time at Rangers and what happens next at Fir Park could potentially stall his development too. If we decide he doesn't kick a ball between now and the end of the season, he arrives at Ibrox as a player who has played 10 first team games for the first team since October 2016.
It's a sore yin, there's no way of getting away from that, though I think if we were to be given the choice of securing one of Turnbull and Hastie, most would have went for Turnbull.
Hes had a similar impact to Ross Forbes...Ross Forbes is now tearing it up at Dumbarton. The Club will get it tight, but I'm willing to bet that they know the true worth of the player better than Steven Gerrard.

Folk saying he isn't making the correct career-choice are a wee bit wide of the mark in my opinion. This contract could be life-defining for the boy, not just career-defining.
I believe he is currently on circa £300 a week, no idea what Rangers offer these days but even if its a 3 year deal (I'm lead to believe its a 5 year though) at £3000 a week plus, a fairly substantial signing on fee. The contract at a very conservative estimate, could be in the region of £500,000 and pretty much set-up for life.
The whole affair strikes me, that Motherwell don't actually rate him that highly, and are more than happy to take the development fee...if they were desperate to keep him and offload him for more money in the Summer, all they had to do was increase his wages to what his demands were...and again, from what I can gather, they weren't ridiculous demands.
As Desp says above, as soon as he signs on that dotted line for another club, he should be jettisoned to train with the youths again. He'll no longer be our player, we are in no danger of being relegated, no realistic prospect of top6 and we owe him nothing.

I've never been aware that the lassie was mixed-race either, I thought she had a belter of a tan...I couldn't give a shite what the Royal Family get up to though, I generally switch the news off, when a story about them comes on, and certainly wouldn't read a newspaper or internet report about them.
I do care, that they are parasites and that we are paying for the c***s though
