camer0n_mcd Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Our first time playing against St Johnstone since we graciously allowed the to stay in the top division last season. It should be an interesting game as both teams started the league season fairly well, I'll say 2-1 Motherwell with the bold Tony Watt grabbing his first goal of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Not sure of the circumstances surrounding Gordons departure from St Johnstone, maybe Random Guy can assist, but Im led to believe that Gordon is a St Johnstone fan, so surely some story there? The big man has been a colossus for us so far this season and is clearly one if the major reasons our defence looks so much more assured. He just loves to defend and isnt afraid to do the dirty stuff when its required. Clearly a leader of men and Casey and McGinn look so much more assured alongside him. Im hoping he is as motivated as Halliday was on Sunday, to come away from his old club with a positive result. A clean sheet would be lovely. That way we are leaving with at least a point.

I think he needed a fresh start, I think. The pressure of everything seemed to turn him into a bit of a disaster so he needed away from that. Others maybe know more but that was always my impression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a couple of forays up the pitch too, one up the right wing and one through the centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Motherwell offered Liam Gordon much more money than Saints, it's no more complicated than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with Random here...don't think there's much of a story here. Liam is a fan and I'm sure it hurt like hell to go through 3 seasons of rubbish as captain. As far as I know, there was no falling out. We offered him a deal and Motherwell offered him more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarsGunnar Carlstrands Dog Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Was part of solid defence with McCart and Kerr. They left and he was left with a constant rotational of loanees who weren’t good enough and Constantine who tried hard but was finished. He ended up in poor form and making mistakes due to the pressure put onto him. Some fans were really hard on him and as a fan reckon he took it really badly. Motherwell offered more money and a fresh start. I would have left as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be surprised if we offered him "much more money". Im sure off the back of the Bair transfer, we would be able to push the boat out a little for the right player, but it certainly wouldnt be silly money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Some of the abuse Gordon got from our “fans” was ridiculous. Folk shouting that’s he’s a f**king useless c**t when he’s over clapping them. Time was right for him to leave. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a chance that your normal is silly money to us this season. Everyone always claims it but I think we'll be the lowest spending club this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that. We are currently trying to level out the mis-spending of previous (by two) CEO/Manager. Two years with over 1M losses need to be straightened out in some way. I reckon he's probably right saying we are the lowest spending at the minute. Whether that's still the case by the end of the week? time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamMFC Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Gordon has been great for us so far, signing of the season for me at moment. He's helped settle our defence so well and seems to be building a good partnership with Casey. Hopefully we can build on the good performance we put in against Hearts. 2-1 Watt and Miller with the goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Bigging Gordon up before this game is daft, IMO. It's just tempting the footballing gods especially when Kimpioka is who he'll be facing. Can fully see his dribbling putting Gordon on his arse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, there's a difference between *bigging him up* and stating that he has been objectively good for us (he has) but aye...what the f**k are folk thinking running with this narrative. Tempting fate much lads? Let's not do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 How are Saints likely to approach the game without Sidibeh? Reductive to say they're a one man team obviously but from the outside I can't really think of a side in the league who seem less well-equipped to lose their main striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
