Not the worst shout I’ve heard. I’d still probably take Tommy Wright until the end of the season first to be fair. Graham Alexander was sat behind me at Fir Park one time scouting someone (I didn't ask who he was watching). The Salford millions maybe skews his time there a bit but...it's probably not the worst shout tbh. He's managed over 100 games at 3 clubs. I don't think it's too wild to say he fits the sort of profile of someone we'd look at. 16 minutes ago, YassinMoutaouakil said: Do many of you have a leaning either way on Bradford? I'm not going to pretend I follow their results or anything but I've always vaguely wanted them to do well solely because of the Claret and Amber thing. Never felt any particular affection for Galatasaray or Roma though for some reason. I have no opinion on Bradford however I do own a ton of Roma shirts. The claret and amber is a nice tie in but it's largely on account of Totti, De Rossi and Batistuta that I took an interest.

well fan for life Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I have nothing but respect for McCall. Managing to guide a team including Lee Hollis, Craig Reid, Fraser Kerr and Gunnar fucking Neilsen to second place is borderline miraculous imo. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enduring memory surely has to be getting put out the cup off a team with 2 last names that were sitting third bottom in league 2 at the time. ropy said: I remember the light relief when he tried to juggle the ball on the sidelines, Bara had a giggle too. The image of him raging with Baraclough’s huge grin in the background (think while we were 3-0 up at Ibrox) is still imprinted in my head today.

Swello Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The quality of McCall's good team (and the amount of actual *fun* I had going to the fitba) buys him immunity for anything that happened afterwards as far as I'm concerned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) The s*n claiming Lasley is to be given 4 games to prove himself. That would be. Hamilton Accies (A) St Mirren (A) Rangers (H) Aberdeen (A) Getting thrown right in at the deep end it seems. Realistically how many points would he have to take from those 4 to convince the club?

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There were lots of highlights in McCall’s time but that spell from the victory against Celtic where Faddy won a hunner heifers until the end of the season was just pure joy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just because it was Fir Park at night [emoji7]What I’d give to beat either of the OF once this season never mind back to back with Lennon greeting in the stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I wouldn’t believe anything in that paper, if this were to be the case, I’d say 6 points and the job is his. It would also be something of a miracle given our recents performances and results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Well Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Any news on anyone who has left the club today...I believe at least O'Donnell contract is up although I think we had an option until the end of the season or was I dreaming that up.? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Anyone remember this wee gem from New Year's day 2014?Lionel Ainsworth was unplayable that day. I was sitting in the east stand and any time he got the ball in the 2nd half something seemed to happen. Faddy's goal to finish things wasn't bad either. Not that I'm drawing any conclusions but he started to go downhill after his hair transplant. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This interview is really weird reading, given that Robinson resigned the next morning. Quote Robinson, who confirmed that Callum Lang is returning to Wigan Athletic tomorrow, and said he's talking with Robbie Crawford about extending his loan from Livingston, said: "Stephen will decide in the coming weeks what he decides to do. "He's contracted for a few more weeks and then it will be his decision after that. "Ultimately this club should only have people here that want to be here - and I'm not saying Stephen isn't, by the way, so don't quote me, I'm not using Stephen as an example - but as a general rule we should only have people here who are desperate to be here, desperate to play here, this club deserves that amount of respect." Link There's an option to extend to the end of the season but I'd imagine that's in the player's favour. Quote Stephen O’Donnell has joined Motherwell. The 28-year-old has signed on a short-term deal until the next transfer window. O’Donnell’s contract has the option to extend the deal until the end of the season. He joins subject to Scottish FA clearance. Link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I’m now pining for an out and out winger with the end product of Johnson or Ainsworth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
