dezz Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I came across this picture on twitter and thought it quite nicely summed up our performances so far this season. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total shambles of a player. I'd say he was a carthorse but I think carthorses actually served some purpose in the world. Dodgy as he was, I see he had to retire at the age of 27 this year due to heart valve problems. I'm sure we'll all wish him well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 He kept Newport in the football league with what I think was a last minute goal a few years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Did O'Brien not come to us as one of Derby's highest rated prospects and end up getting released by them off the back of his season here?

Luke92 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Big week ahead. There is a real possibility that we could lose our best player, crash out of Europe and get a pumping at Celtic Park. The reaction to this would not be pretty. I'm certainly not pressing the panic button yet. We have been here before with Robinson and I think he will find the right combination, I just really hope he can do this prior to Thursday night. I've been thinking about this our last few games but I'd quite like to see a change in system rather than running through every possible combination of 3 forwards we have. I'd quite like to see us shift to two up front, Watt + Long/Lang would be interesting. As much as I don't think we have been particuarly great elsewhere on the park our main problem just now appears to be 1. Creating decent chances and 2. Scoring goals. Other than the occasional defence splitting Turnbull pass we just don't look at all dangerous. With going two up top I think we might see a wee bit more joy having the pairing play off eachother. I know he's had two disallowed goals and has 'put himself about' but I think White upfront is a bit of a detriment to our overall play. He's not particularly good in the air, can't really hold the ball up and seems to consistently give away cheap fouls. I am by no means writing the guy off I just don't really think our play should be catered to him, it feels like everything Robinson is trying to do just now is played through him and it's not really working. We seem to have so much of the ball and do absolutely nothing with it, it is so frustrating to watch. We either play ultra safe passes and go nowhere or launch hopeful diagonal balls at White, this seems to be the extent of our game plan at the moment. We need more guys active up front and running into space. I could be completely wrong but with the current system I have concerns where a goal is going to come from on Thursday. 100% Glentoran will be copying Accies game plan and the way we are playing they probably have a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes without saying that I wish him and anyone else nothing but the best of health, but I'm just recalling his time with us as I remember it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pick him.... I will say though that the Samson Special lettuce wrist save where he pushed the ball straight to an opposition player had me a seething mess on a few occasions..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner-to-Saint Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Is Turnbull going not a blessing, if it brings in £3 million? I don't know what the financial situation is like at Motherwell, but many clubs are struggling, and with a second wave predicted, I'd think the survival of my club is paramount. Saints seem to be okay, but we're in the minority, I suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 No one will convince me that there has been a worse Motherwell goalkeeper than Craig Samson. I'm still amazed that watching him and Zak Jules in the same team didn't result in me being carted off to Carstairs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Amazed folk seem to think this Turnbull SAGA doesn't have another half dozen U-TURNS that threaten to DERAIL the Well STARLET'S Celtic SWOOP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Trying to convince yourself that selling your best player, and potentially one of the best Scottish midfielders players of this decade, is the secret formula to turning a poor run of form around, is a strange one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not like he's someone we signed who turned out to be a bit pish - he actually left Killie because he couldn't get into their team. He signed for us...and was 2nd choice to Ripley who was a fine enough 'keeper but we extended his loan in the January so it was clear that we fancied him more as #1 than the ginger prince. So he wasn't good enough for Killie, wasn't good enough to be our first pick ahead of Ripley so clearly it made complete sense for us to offer him a new deal, make him #1 and watch him almost relegate us.

Desp Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Basically we're at the point where Turnbull has proved his fitness, so the terms verbally agreed when he signed his contract extension now kick in. All parties knew what fee it would be, so the usual suspects howling at the moon for £5m, £6m and £7m are, as usual, morons. Providing DT goes on progress in the way everyone thinks, both Celtic & Motherwell will do very well out of his next transfer fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw a few of your tweets - some of the shouts out there are absolutely fucking wild. Fair play to Turnbull. He's signed an extension (twice) to make sure the club get value for him. He fully deserves to get paid himself now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well fan phoned Clyde the other day saying the club should demand £10m. Similar to Celtic fans wanting £50m for Edouard, fantasists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
