Handsome_Devil Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 For once, a television move actually helps me but it's a right bugger for the jolly boys...those not able to take a holiday at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, a cup game under the lights is magic, especially in an old school stadium and think it has the potential to be a cracking tie. Just think as it's only an hr down the road the Saturday would have seen us take really good numbers, and f*cked off that I won't get there now!!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I was meant to going to see The Menzingers that night. If I go then I’ll spend the whole gig on my phone checking the score/watching the game. Whereas if I go to the game I won’t be wondering what song The Menzingers are playing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Thanks to Hibbee Jibee (in the cup thread) this was always the most likely outcome. It does mean that we play on the Tuesday beforehand which is not ideal but little difference than a Saturday and then a Tuesday night. Does it give Morton an advantage ? Either way it is an extra £24,000 in the coffers. Although that will be impacted by a lower crowd most likely. At least those that cannot make it can watch the game. Glad to see Oli Shaw is heading back south. We are going to add up all the savings so we can bring back the main (grumpy) man… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Glad to see the back of Shaw. Appreciate he was signed out of necessity but he's every bit as bad as some of our worst strikers of recent times. The 2-2 against St Johnstone where he could either shoot himself or square it Bair yet conspired to do neither sums him up. Useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloontang Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I must admit I did like St Mirren's video on Twitter about what our new forward can do. He scored three of his four league goals against St Mirren and they showed them all in the clip lol. Good luck to the guy, introduced into the first team at 17 and managed to stay in and around the side and eventually got us a great fee. Not really seen much of him since his Hibs spell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good in his first season for us but unfortunately by end of his time with us it was obvious that the right choice was for him to move on.

Always thought it was a strange choice for Motherwell to go for him as he suffered a really bad injury after leaving us. There's context to that as well - we signed him (initially) because Mandron was injured after his first game and we were left scrambling late in the window for a vague approximation. He was actually announced after the window had closed. Basically if Mandron doesn't get injured then we probably don't sign Obika. Quite why we chose to extend his deal is less clear - especially after he'd also picked up another hamstring injury during his initial spell - although I expect it might have something to do with him having done well in that role on the occasions he'd made it on to the park along with being willing to accept whatever terms we were offering.

welldaft Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Whilst watching St Johnstone v Aberdeen. St Johnstone have been quite decent and just smacked one off the bar at the death ! Looked at respective squad sizes of those teams around us. This is 1st team squad from Wiki and looks fairly accurate and up to date. St Johnstone = 31 players Livingston = 27 Players Ross County = 25 players Motherwell = 21 players. You would like to think we still have another 4 players to join up to at least take us to Ross C levels. Who will probably still add a couple more before the deadline. Of course the average wages could be quite different but that is some gap in available resource between ourselves and the Perth Saints . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
