Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

I’m hoping for a 6ft 5 brick shithouse keeper that screams “Mine ! “ every time the ball comes into the box and charges out making clean catches whilst blasting over cowering opposition strikers like skittles.

How Kettlewell plans on going about fixing the defensive issues that have plagued us this season is what I’m most interested in this summer. 

Same. Also the reason my head is falling off my shoulders that we've offered some sort of deal to all the ooc defenders.

My one caveat (and reason I've not given up hope yet... 😅) is that we don't know what role we're looking to sign them up for. Potentially only McGinn would start and the rest could be back up to Casey/Blaney/whomever we bring in.

Penalty to Rangers

Don't care. George Long folded Kenny Miller like a paper straw in the play-off at Ibrox and he didn't kick a ball for the next 60 minutes. 

Long was bang average, but he was brave enough to leather folk. That'd do fine.

I just want a team full of horrible b*****ds that will make everyone in the country hate playing us. Is that too much to ask?

Opposed to a team of horrible b*****ds that every one of us hate watching, cause we've done that far too much in since Robbo lost the plot.

It's not, but it's certainly a team I'd have no interest in watching.

Oh aye, I'm just being flippant tbh! Agree with both you and posters above that would be nice to have someone more imposing in goals, which we've lacked since the Ruddy/Randolph days IMO.

Thinking about it, have we actually had a keeper over 6'3 play for us since George Long?

Put some respect on Aaron Chapman's name.

Peak Robbo Thunderball was excellent to watch.

I could dine out on that League Cup Semi final against Rangers for a long time!

Or we give Oxborough a good run in the first team and see what he is all about.

Agreed on the first sentence. 

I was a nervous wreck for most of that game, however.  I didn't fully relax until about five minutes to go.  Now, the Scottish Cup Semi against Aberdeen later that season?  What a display of association football that was.  A more complete and comprehensive bodying you're unlikely to see again.

Past data on promoting second-choice goalkeepers to number one isn't particularly favourable... Stevie Woods (several times), Dubourdeau, Lee Hollis, Craig Samson...

Mark Gillespie, however, is the exception.
