  1. I don't remember too much of Ian Ross in a Motherwell shirt as I was only a kid at the time and I spent my time pretty much swooning over Tommy Coyne (m'lord!). Other than his 25-yard screamer against Celtic on Jamie Dolan Day. It was something like that anyway, wasn't it?
  2. Disappointed you didn't use the photo from his Gran's funeral.
  3. I don't think Wilkinson's issue was his footballing ability. I think he underestimated Scottish Football and got a bit of a shock when he very quickly realised it wasn't kick and rush fitba like League 1/League 2 in England. However, as Co-Convenor of The NumberPolis (alongside @crazylegsjoe_mfc) it's heartening to see we've launched #99 & #77 already this season, and realised that #66 is no longer any good and have him nowhere near the side.
  4. Do you know they didn't? Here's a mental thought... maybe they did and the player said no? I suppose after we lost the right to hold a gun to a player's head (thanks for that, Declan) our bargaining position was poor.
  5. Aye, shame on the club for turning down all those cash offers for him over the last 18 months. A welcome return to the genre of, "Why didn't we sell Randolph for £1m???", that one.
  6. I really just think clubs take a step back here. It's ok to have made a bad decision. Probably every poster on here has made a few in their own life. Businesses do it all the time. Rather than point and say "well, you can't moan about it now because you decided to go for it in the first place", can we not welcome a club (or clubs) turning round and saying, "Sorry lads, we've fucked it with that one". If you make a bad decision, fix it. If that means your tail goes between yer legs and you eat humble pie, so be it. Don't go and throw more shite at the wall to see if something will stick and possibly make it a bit less terrible.
  7. Which is horrendous, and is the whole point at the centre of all this. VAR is diminishing the enjoyment of fans at the game, i.e the c***s who put the money into it.
  8. Pretty much every single goal would be challenged by the opposing team. You say each team has two challenges per half, for example? How often do teams lose four goals a game? You'd challenge every goal against you and hopefully get lucky now and again. That'd be a great thing for the fans in the crowd...
  9. Wonderful. Every failed challenge the other team gets to have 14 players for 10 minutes and a golden ball gets thrown on the pitch which only that team can use (and score) with. Any other wacky changes you'd like to make to football? Fucking hell man. Everyone just needs to admit it's not working. We gave it a go, it has hindered football as a whole. Accept it, hold your hands up and get it binned.
  10. I mean, the "challenge" idea, like Tennis, for football is an absolute nonsense of an idea. Tbf though, a Hawkeye challenge is done and dusted in about 20 seconds. One video gets played and it tells you if it's in or out. Job done.
  11. The thing with Tennis & Hawkeye, though, is that it's factual. "Is the baw in or oot?" The only equivalents in football are offsides & the ball being over the line or not. f**k giving teams a couple of chances per half to ask whether that was a penalty or whether he should be sent off. VAR will never ever solve subjective decisions, so get rid of it.
  12. As a TV Personality & Celebrity 'Well fan, don't you have any influence here? Get the finger oot!
