Casagolda Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 I see big Johnny Handsome has hung up the boots to take up a job as Morton’s U20’s manager. A vastly underrated and probably under appreciated player who’s 78 goals in 207 games is a record that will stand up alongside any Motherwell striker. He’s also one of only 2 players I’ve seen break the 20 goal barrier in a single season for the ‘Well- an achievement that probably went under the radar given Higdon’s exploits the previous season. Plus, his last ever touch of a ball for Motherwell was the 6th and final nail in the play off demolition. What a guy. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time round, he left after the disastrous 2011 SC final and so it was a nice end to a brilliant day that he got to roll a penalty in with the cigars already out and got to leave on a high. Always worth re-living this beauty*: *The guy (Gobstopper68) who uploaded years worth of highlights to youtube is a hero - but what's going on with that weird resolution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he left the club he'd scored more Premier League era ('75 - ) goals for Motherwell than anyone else, although Scott McDonald has since overtaken him. Also a Top Ten post war goalscorer up there with the likes of Pat Quinn, Ian St. John, Willie Pettigrew, Dixie Deans etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just now, Patrick Bateman said: So how did this one turn out? Serious question BTW, I haven't seen much chat about him. Awful debut, been solidly average every time I've seen him since. Steelmen Online hate him because he's too Catholic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 3 minutes ago, Patrick Bateman said: So how did this one turn out? Serious question BTW, I haven't seen much chat about him. He's made 5 appearances. Started 3 hooked at HT in 2 (both against Thistle). Make of that what you will. He was subbed on in the 2 draws against Celtic and Rangers and was fine. The only 90 mins he's managed was the 2-0 defeat against Aberdeen. As Yassin says, caused heads to explode the other week with an Instagram story with him wearing a Celtic scarf when they won the league. If the intention was that he'd just be cover for Tait and Frear as LWB then he's (barely) "done a job". If the intention was that he'd be coming in as genuine first team option then...less so. Either way it seems unlikely he will be here next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still ended up in the play off but he stepped up that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Alloa should probably just fold tbh, or at least sack their entire playing staff. There's something seriously wrong with your football club if Stuart Carswell is pinging in worldlies against you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Robinson saying towards the tail end of his press conference that we've actively started our recruitment for next season. We've got offers out to 3 or 4 players and we're waiting on answers back. Quote "We've started our recruitment already. We've made offers to 3 or 4 different players in different positions on top of the ones we've already retained. We've tried to strengthen the squad in areas we felt we're weaker and we've made offers to players outside of the football club. Some are thinking about it, some have turned it down but we're actively looking in the market at the moment, boys who are out of contract at other clubs both in England and in Scotland we're speaking to at this moment in time and hopefully we'll have answers on those in the next 10 days."
