Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

I think the remaining games might be the most boring combination of fixtures the computer  could possibly have given us. We're likely playing Dundee and St Mirren too early for us to be able to send either of them doon. Motherwell vs St Johnstone/Livi doesn't exactly set the heart raging during the regular season, let alone when we've got literally nothing to play for.

Only thing I'm really left looking forward to is some more glimpses of the Young Team/Declan Gallagher.

ETA that for legal reasons I should probably say that any mention of Declan Gallagher and young teams was purely coincidental.

Sorry to break it to you lads, but the SFA/SPFL will find anyway to f**k you over when it comes to compo for Hastie. 

Made us pay 11 years of compo to sevco for Telfer when the club had been in existence for 2 years.

I can already tell that the Steelmen OnlineJake Hastie Compensation Tribunal thread is going to be the worst 52 pages on the internet. 

Only until Celtic start sticking in low-ball offers for Turnbull in January...

The Express quoting a quite precise sounding figure of £355k for Hastie's compensation.

Quote

FIFA rules indicate that Rangers would liable to stump up as much as £355,000 for Hastie, although the Ibrox club could try to prevent the deal heading to a tribunal by settling on a fee with their Fir Park counterparts.

However, unless this deal approaches the £355,000 mark, it’s likely the Steelmen will take their chances with the FIFA system.

Bitch better have our money, pay what you owe.

If anyone fancies a good chuckle, here is how Rangers are going to take David Turnbull from cash strapped Motherwell for between 500k-1M and loan him back to us for two years but they aren't sure if he is better than Greg Docherty.

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.

Let's not try and apply logic to that fucking cesspit of a website.

I hope MFC stick with the tribunal and get the £350k.  I believe Hastie's sell-on clause would be the same value to Motherwell as Dom Thomas' will be.

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.

I had a laugh at that myself.

As you say, it's not sour grapes but Hastie's game is about running quite fast and having a decent left foot. Don't get me wrong, when he's on his game his style of play can be very effective but, for me, there's no comparison between Turnbull and Hastie as footballers.

It's Very Unfair From Jake Hastie To Stop Following Our Fans On Twitter, Some Of Them Didn't Even Say Much.

If Hastie does get dropped for the last four games, I'm really going to start questioning her influence on things at Fir Park. 

I'm looking forward to reading the programme next season when Every Word In The Whole Fucking Thing Is Capitalised.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but unusually some of the posters there come across as quite reasonable. Like any football forum though, there's plenty of numpties although they do have that special brand of arrogance that other clubs don't seem to have. I shouldn't be surprised but a good few seem to have the opinion that anyone who supports another club still has a 'Big Team'.

There are some reasonable posts, unfortunately overshadowed by the utterly ridiculous. I feel sorry for the fan who thinks they have our real prospect. With regards to the arrogance, I can't stand the ' if we want them they will come ' attitude they all have.

fortunately for us the one crumb of comfort about Turnbull leaving, when the day comes, is that he is destined for far bigger than the SPFL, old firm included.
