Would love to be a fly on the wall in the dressing room Monday morning I'd imagine Polworth kicked his last ball for us a while back like.

Aye, without wanting to do that thing of litigating someone's old Tweets, aside from her being an anti-Indy freakshow, it seems pretty clear that there have been issues for a while given she's apparently been freely taking digs going back a couple of months (especially when added to Polworth's own cryptic, teenage drama Tweet back in February). Having said that, the timing of a couple of those tweets is genuinely hilarious. One taking a shots at Alexander yesterday about 15 mins after the final whistle of a game we won 5-0 and another 15 mins after we've beaten Hibs 2-0 at Easter Road.

'WellDel Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The 'Well wives have been far better value on the socials this season than their spouses have been on the park . The massive meltdowns in the Gallagher , White ,and Polworth households have made quality reading . I've no idea about goings on behind the scenes , or whether any of them have genuine grievances about their men's treatment , but from the outside looking in it seems that their partners have been either massively underperforming , whoring themselves for moves away , or both . in these situations you'd think the players would have the sense/balls to tell them to shut the f**k up , keep their own counsel, see out the remainder of their time with us and move on . That's not been the case though , and made for some great entertainment . Polworth and his crackpot mrs can f**k off back to the highlands like the White's at their earliest convenience if they're that unhappy . I suspect though that they will hang around in the 'shithole/shitshow' for the remainder of his contract and ill earned wages . He's been an absolute wage thief this season and we'll gladly see the back of him soon . Your man is Liam fucking Polworth hen , not Kevin De Bruyne. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) I really don’t get the whole day say something controversial > go private > deleting account process. She obviously made the tweets to provoke a reaction, what different one to this was she expecting? Did she think Motherwell fans would be on her side?

YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think O'Donnell is class tbh. He obviously most likely didn't see himself ending up here at this stage of his career but has carried himself pretty well on and off on the pitch despite that. I'm not meaning that in that sycophantic "our wee club is lucky to have you" way you sometimes see but if he is around next season I'm looking forward to seeing him in what is hopefully a more stable team/defence. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 15 hours ago, MP_MFC said: Knowing how Busta feels about Polworth, I await his input on this. I saw she had tweeted something along the lines of: "I am more likely to get a game under Alexander than Liam Polworth" If she can put in the effort to tackle and break up play then I'd play her first too. It's also been touched on but what goes through these lassies heads? I reckon if it was me in that situation and you seen the first WAG explosion years ago I'd be getting them telt "If I come home unhappy and moaning about my boss don't stick it on the socials. Cos that will f**k me." There is defo something about these wanna be WAGs from the small time. As for Polworth himself. If he's done then fair enough. I was never his biggest fan, even when on top of his game I had my criticisms but he's been a horror show this year. Poundland luxury player. Good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I'm ok with SOD signing on again. As long as it's done early enough and we don't hang about waiting on him having no other options. He's a good player for our level. I think my expectations were skewed by how much he was talked up (despite me never really seeing it, thought I'd missed something) but he's a good player to have in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happier with him as first choice than rolling the dice and having Grimshaw as back up (mystery illness notwithstanding). Also he loves an empire biscuit which is an underrated snack. Aye, I think my broad strokes, TL;DR take is that in the current climate, even with the best scouting it's unlikely we'll be able to bring in a right back who's significantly better than O'Donnell - so I'd rather we spent our time and energy focusing on bringing in better than guys who will definitely be away like Gallagher and Polworth et al. My more nuanced view on SOD's time is that he's suffered from an Expectations vs Reality situation similar-ish to McManus in so much as the expectation from some is 'Scotland International' when the reality is that he's a good, mid-upper Scottish Premiership player who landed a spot in the international side and has seen his career at that level extended by his former club manager getting the Scotland job and clearly having complete trust in him. That means we're not getting Andy Robertson or Kieran Tierney (we never were) instead we're getting a guy who is clearly "a good player for this level" but might have the occasional poor game over the course of the season and sell the jerseys as he did against Accies. Tbh, I can absolutely live with that. The other thing is I think he's been a bit unlucky in the way he landed at the club in so much as there's this narrative about him leaving Killie to get his "Big Move" and there being an element of schadenfreude from certain areas when Covid put an end to that and he's ended up with us. In a way even Robinson heavily leaned on him signing being a short-term gig and that's probably led to people getting bent out of shape on a "he doesn't really want to be here" level. Waiting until the last day of January to announce he'd extended to the end of the season probably didn't help much either as it felt like it played into Robinson's claim when he was leaving about players being here as a "last resort". Ultimately it doesn't bother me if he's only at the club because it's convenient for him as he lives on the doorstep and has decided that he wants to prioritise his family - if he's up for extending in the sort of timeframe he's talking about in that interview then sign the handsome, empire-biscuit making b*****d up.

Swami Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) He’s nailed on for captain next year. I’m not having empire biscuits as an acceptable snack though.

Casagolda Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 The fact that when he’s had to fight for his place this season he’s chucked his toys oot the pram speaks volumes about Polworth. We’ve seen plenty of senior players like Hartley, Tait, Hammell, Sutton etc in recent years find themselves out the team. I don’t remember any of them greeting about it or falling out with the manager. However Polworth’s piss poor attitude is symptomatic of one that’s sadly seemed all too prevalent amongst our current squad this season. Too many fragile egos with delusions of grandeur. In Polworth’s case, he’s scored 1 league goal in over 50 games for the club and I don’t think he’s registered an assist from open play this season. He’s hardly the creative force his missus is making him out to be. Never mind the Scottish Cup final, for me May is all about that glorious 20/21 released list and I for one can’t fucking wait. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a slight tangent to that, it felt to me as if we'd been scoring more goals since Alexander came in and a quick check after the game on Saturday shows (in all competitions): 20 goals in 14 games under Alexander vs 25 in 23 under Robinson. (League games is 15 in 13 for Alexander vs 17 in 19 for Robinson) 1.42 goals pg vs 1.08 goals pg (1.15 pg vs 0.89 pg - League) We've failed to score in 3 of Alexander's 14 games (21%) vs 10 of Robinson's 23 (43%). Bearing in mind Polworth has only featured in 3.5 games for Alexander vs starting 17 of Robinson's 23 (w/3 sub appearances) it's really not a good look for him. I mean, I say this as someone who's generally been a fan of Polworth but I'm absolutely gone at the idea that there's any genuine grievances about him not playing given he managed to get sent off for having a wee tantrum in the new manager's 3rd game in charge then absolutely phoned it in and gave away a pen the next time he got an opportunity against St Johnstone.
