  1. If that's the effect then I wish that more supporters of other clubs would channel all their hate towards us, non-stop! And we should lavish praise and love on the opposition, non-stop, as this is sure to un-inspire them.
  2. Four votes on the Match Result poll so far, and 50% going for an away win (I'm one of them). Our players must know that they are capable of much better than what they've been dishing up over the past several weeks. And I wonder if in some way the absence of BBG might actually galvanize them (and the manager) into trying different approaches. Ablade has definitely looked good and fast in his recent appearances. If he gets on the scoresheet or even assists in a goal or two it might literally rejuvenate us. That's why I've optimistically gone for a Jags win.
  3. I see: so, there could be a causal link there... Err, where, exactly?
  4. Unfortunately, the truth isn't always healthy. And in what way does decrying washed up erse-cheeks players coming to Firhill in any way explain our failure to beat either of them in more around 100 matches? Should we be instead grateful, and that might somehow make us better~?
  5. Not only than, but what's his plan B when his model sees us languishing as a part-time club in an even lower division?
  6. For accuracy, maybe "has not built" is better than "can not build". He must be aware (and presumably frustrated) at the poor performances, despite his optimistic/positive interviews on social media (what else can a manager do, other than criticize his players (and himself)?) The squad as a whole is definitely disappointing, but you don't know that he is incapable of building a balanced squad simply because the current one isn't winning the league or playing exciting football. Most managers aren't managing particularly strong squads and good teams.
  7. Does that include the long list of ex-auld filth players and managers that we've appointed as managers? Now that I think of it, most of those have indeed been to our detriment.
  8. Cormack, Campbell, Caldwell. Can't avoid noticing these three Cs. Sandy Clark was another one. Strictly speaking, Gerry Collins too, but despite his poor managerial record, in my book he was a good C.
  9. Let's take that further: Why should you support and fund a team, if you disagree with what's going on?
  10. I think I remember somebody on here last season (I think) stating that it would certainly happen. I kind of doubt it, but if they get a few trophies and we continue to look as if we never will......
  11. That referee's crime-count difference in our matches is highly suspicious. I'd like to know how it compares with that of other other referees.. If it's as abnormal as it looks, then it merits further investigation.
  12. Their incredible win over evil deserves its own thread! Nothing from me but hearty congratulations; I hope they can go even further. It does mean that they can probably outspend us with ease for next season, but hey, they've deserved it on that one game alone. Ferrie is surely destined for bigger things (and by that I don't mean us!). PS: Even just one more victory against one of the two erse cheeks for us would make me happy, instead of the "plucky fighters," "valiant Jags," etc, i.e., Why are we perennial losers? What is it that has ailed our club for decades, especially since the 1980s? It can't be fan ownership, or our current players or managers, or ...... well, what is it?
  13. I often notice that when the left-back question comes up, and possible replacements, Bannigan rarely features. But he played in that position (comfortably and competently, as I recall) earlier in his career. True, he's not going to bomb down the wing and overlap like a few of our more recent LBs, but I could see him driving forward through midfield and setting up attacks (whereas now he usually collects the ball in midfield and takes the easy, non-constructive, lazy option of a sideways or backwards pass), and he can tackle. Is he considered too slow for LB now?
  14. Don't you mean, more to the point, what is Plan B for the women's team?
  15. Oh, it doesn't seem that long ago that Archie got the job as Motherwell's youth coach. Or did I get that wrong?
  16. On the topic of Sylvia (OK, it's probably not the same one), I adore the song about her mother, by Dr Hook. Brings back memories of when you had to make long-distance calls through an operator!
  17. The Badfinger version is the one I like most (they wrote it, of course).
  18. Glad he's not coming back to us. Got distracted too often by the music he was listening to.
  19. You missed Stanway, who imo definitely deserves a decent run in the team, rather than the usual non-producers.
  20. I noticed the distinct lack of any of the usual phrases about the departure (e.g., "has been released," or "by mutual consent"...). Maybe he was on something like a monthly contract? Maybe he was eagerly "told" he could go?
  21. The board should call a meeting to discuss that criticism, and then, if the outcome is agreement that it is a valid criticism, they should form and appoint a committee to reflect on the issues it raises.
  22. Some would say that Turner was out of his depth in the top flight. I'd say his performances this season suggest some truth in that. I think we were fortunate to have him at his relatively short-lived peak the season before last.
  23. Sorry, but that's much too sensible a post for this lynching-lustful thread.
