  1. My pet hate playing Motherwell is their embarrassing "wee hard men" schoolboy section. More annoying is the fact that Motherwell FC actively encourage these mini-morons to congregate together to create the public nuisance. On their Official Club website they are encouragong them to buy tickets for the "singing section" N1 (well actually they say "signing section" but I reckon we know what they mean).

     

  2. I hope lots of you are watching La Liga match Getafe v Barcelona live on ITV4 (Freeview ch26).

    Still 0-0 at H-T but great entertainment - I didn't realise Spanish league football could be so brutal !! Getafe are the most cynical, dirty bastards I've seen in many many years, plunging to South American football depths of brutality, yet it's Barcelona that are down to 10 players after Raphina's red card.

    Second half coming up, can't wait for it.

    :thumbsup

    You should have doured it out, the 5th goal was comedy gold.

    The Chinese goalie, oh my. :lol:

    I saw the goals on bbc news (their lead story FFS), the wee goalie was hilarious. Let's hope she is forgiven back home, unlike Andres Escobar.

    Agreed. Budget looks to have been slashed from last season. Our top 6 finish has given us vertigo. We can't get quality players to sign. Ambition lowered to yo yo club status.  Shaugnessy, Brophy, Watt all gone and apart from the NI winger it's all bargain stuff coming in and all lacking fitness. We are looking at players released by Fundee and also a 4 month loan striker to replace Main. In this league budgets and strong starts to the campaign determine final league finishes - we currently look bottom 4.  More quality is required. Robinson is a good manager but this looks like a huge ask.

    I think Killie and County have strengthened also.

    Seriously negative stuff Magnus, before a ball has been kicked in the 2023-24 league season, and with the transfer window still open for several more weeks.

    I'm sure more players will leave and others will be brought in before the transfer window closes. We have a manager and a recruitment team who are hugely experienced in wheeling and dealing at the "lower" end of the market, having already brought in talented (but unknown) players from Ireland and the Southern Hemisphere. We should trust them to sort things out for this season.

    SR said "forward". Unless he said more to STV.

    Let's hope that this "forward" can contribute as much as Curtis Main has done defensively at corners, free kicks, etc. A forward that offers nothing defensively would be a poor replacement for CM.
