  1. Absolutely agree with this. His strengths lie elsewhere which is why I think a poacher alongside him would work well and as mentioned above Vale should be that guy.
  2. spot on with this imo. I’m a fan of the big guy but he has no poachers instinct. My one real criticism of him is the amount of balls fizzed across the box he is on his heels waiting on or crosses he waits on coming to him. He isn’t on his toes looking for two yards tap ins or throwing his body so balls hit of his knees/nuts etc. Pair him with a poacher say a Arnott/Moult type of player that’s a potent strike force. He needs to be more mobile at set plays and when crosses coming in. Hopefully something he can work on in the summer.
  3. Andy Halliday on SSB referring to Blair Spittal as future Hearts player. We all knew it but guess that’s it confirmed.
  4. I’ve been quite vocal about the fact that our best option when Butcher was out to me would have been McGinn in the middle. As close to a like for like as Butcher as we had. Similar style and to me would have given a more calming influence in the middle I think.
  5. I rate Blaney. He is athletic, solid, pacy and can win a header. Also will give a goal of two. We can’t discount he has had a very interrupted time with us due to injuries, inexplicable drop from the team etc. offers a good balance to the team. I think given a good run in the side, a good pre season he will be a very decent defender for us. By that point his contract will be due to expire and then he will leave on a free down south. That’s the Motherwell way.

    Fallout

    I’m a huge Fallout 4 fan. Absolutely love the game. TV has certainly 3 episodes in, anyway, did the game justice. Brilliant viewing. As others have mentioned Goggins is brilliant. As he is in everything he does.
  7. Davor is a class wee player when played as he should be. As a defensive midfielder breaking up play and protecting the defence then linking with the attacking midfielders to do their stuff. I get taking him off at times against teams sitting in but he has been criminally underused imo by asK this year. The Vale scenario is reminding me of Brodie Spencer, comes in with fire in his belly looking a right find then drained of it by being asked to do a job he is less effective in. Effectively making a 7 or 8 out of 10 player a 6 to fill in a role rather than play to his strengths.
  8. Yip, taking Davor and Vale off every time is getting frustrating. Vale is being played too wide and too deep. Needs to be right up beside Bair with Spittal in the 10 role behind them. We are taking any Vale goal scoring threat right out the team essentially playing as a second right back. I mean Vale would have buried that Shaw chance that’s for sure.
  9. He is an absolutely cracking lad Gordon. Genuinely down to earth nice fella. Find it hilarious when folk call him a fan of one of the OF. He’s a dyed in the wool Well fan who actually dislikes them both equally. But aside the above is really Knowledgeable about football and good at his job. Wasted on that show in my opinion.
  10. I missed your earlier post on this in amongst all the nonsense since tbh. But good effort.
  11. Quick off the mark their young Cameron. That’s the lad.
  12. From what I am hearing about some guests attending Fir Park at the weekend, our singing in the stands better be ‘pitch perfect’. Also if ’The Boys’ don’t perform then it could lead to a ‘Hunger Games’ stlye free for all. I’m being a bit daft here, but the spouse of a movie star who has appeared in all of the above is seemingly coming to the game and is interested in investing in the club along with oor Erik B. Seemingly.
  13. Anyone know what’s happening with wee Allan Campbell. Not even on the bench these days for Millwall. Is he injured?
  14. Great to beat them at anything at anytime but it would better if our club told us about it. Give us an idea of team/scorers etc.
  15. It’s absolutely mental that it is actually still an option and opportunity. We are only 7 pts behind St Mirren after this wild season. Such a missed opportunity imo.
  16. I don’t think it’s 20 calls, I think the bold Stuart just had to hang up on 59 mins before he started getting charged for the calls and could finish his story.
  17. That’s exactly how I am feeling and how I felt walking out the game yesterday. Actually feeling very meh about the club at the moment. Just something about this team and some of the the players which I just can’t seem to gel with. Lack of fight, error strewn, no leadership, I just don’t know. I can’t put my finger on it. Where as watching wee Gent and Davor both give they’re all. Trying to encourage and lead from the front I get that and enjoy it.
  18. Tactically tho, he this year imo made a shed load of mistakes. Even today it was crying out for the team to move to Vale beside Bair and Spittal in the 10. The formation just was not working. I like him but he has made so many stupid errors that has realistically cost us a lot of points. Over thinks formations and is ridiculously stubborn in his approach.
  19. Channel 4 on a Sunday was the best. Gazzetta Football Italia during the day followed by an Emmanuelle movie or a Gerard Depardiue ‘special’ at night. The good old days.
  20. Yip. That’s the lads. Fitness concerns was one as has been out for a bit. Not sure if permit was/is an issue. Guys goals to game record from out wide is pretty decent aswell.
  21. Scandanavian based striker you say…. Early days but I have told this should be an exciting signing for us.
  22. Absolutely this. Plus let’s face it the No voters are a lot more vocal and some Yes voters wouldn’t raise their heads above the parapet to be abused like I saw a fair amount off. I personally also thought the vote was too ambiguous and wooly to get a true and accurate vote and reflection.
  23. ‘The Motherwell’ and we will still celebrate our cup win from 91 in that guise.
  24. Well Society vote results now out… Sure it’s not the result most would have thought. 351 would not accept. 642 would accept
