  1. I'd be happy enough with Halliday. Solid if unspectacular, knows the league and will do a job filling the gap left by Slattery. Let's face it, he's another body to keep Barry Maguire as far away from the first XI as possible. 

    I'd also be more than happy with Main. For all his limitations as a player he'd almost certainly offer more than Obika, Shaw and (possibly) Wilkinson have this season. His goal to make it 3-0 in the Scottish Cup semi final against Aberdeen is also one of my favourite moments supporting Motherwell. 

  2. Having now had a bit of time to reflect on the video, it still makes me turn inside out with cringe. However, with it approaching almost 2m views on Twitter alone it's certainly had the desired reach. 

    I'd obviously love it if it prompted some bored millionaire somewhere to chuck a few (hundred thousand) quid our way but I'm still dubious.

    You don't ask, you don't get I suppose.

    Someone missing a bus/train then doing that wee run thing and pretending they never wanted to catch it in the first place 

    I once sprinted full pelt to catch a train. 

    I made it as well but the only issue is my backpack didn't and got caught in the doors as they were shutting. I flailed about like an idiot for a few seconds trying to free myself until the driver eventually reopened the doors. To make matters worse the driver then put out an announcement basically calling me a c**t. He was probably right tbf. 

    Anyone else and I'd have laughed like f**k. 

  4. A welcome win but one that only serves to paper over some very large cracks. Livi are very clearly the worst team in the league this year.

    Id still be looking to bin Kettlewell but if we didn't do it after some of the shambles we've had to endure the past few months then there's not a chance we'll do it now. He'll get at least January which, given our summer signings, absolutely terrifies me. Still reckon we're a certainty for 11th if he stays in charge.

    Rebound goes way off to the right as we look at it, to the player under the red arrow (not sure who that is, sorry), who hits it off the legs of Gent who's under the yellow arrow, and rebounding away to distance.

    This isn't a Motherwell fan v a St Mirren fan thing, and you may not like the rule with it's discretionary addition, which is fair enough...there's loads of them I don't like, but O'Donnell didn't influence the penalty or the rebound so the ref is correct to allow play to continue.

    Threads involving St Mirren aren't the place for reasoned debate and logic. 

    Let's just all agree that St Mirren should have been given 2 penalties due to the encroachment, they should have won 5-0 and they're clearly the best team Scotland has ever seen. 

  6. Whenever we sign players (specifically midfielders) who look to have a bit of pedigree, it always turns out to be a bit of a disaster. They're either never heard of again or just turn out to be varying degrees of dug meat. 

    Davor seems to be the latest to add to a list that includes Casper Sloth, Christian Ilic, Gael Bigirimana, Jake Taylor and Morgaro Gomis. Even Ali Gorrin took the best part of 6 months before he was ever seen. 

  7. Not sure exactly how bad a run St Mirren are on at the moment (we kind of have our own horrific run to deal with) but, bar his final season, Robinson did always find a way to sort things with us. 

    Granted, in one of those seasons he had David Turnbull sitting at the end of his nose for half a season but still. I'd be happy with a manager who even attempted something different if you lot fancy a swap? 

  8. Just watched the highlights from last night and holy f**k. 

    Kelly didn't cover himself in glory at any of the goals. At the 2nd it seemed pretty clear where the County player was placing it and, while it was a decent enough hit, it seems mental that Kelly hasn't even moved for it. The less said about him channelling his inner Craig Samson for the 3rd, the better. 

    Add me to the ever growing list of folk who are utterly bemused that Gent doesn't get a start. He's our only naturally left sided full back and while he can look a bit suspect defensively, those who have been playing are hardly covering themselves in glory. Gent at least offers something going forward unlike SOD looks borderline geriatric. Putting Gent in from the start can't be any worse than what we've been doing but we're hopefully now at the point where Kettlewell won't even get to try that (not that there's any signs that he would anyway). 

  9. I was still on the fence re Kettlewell but he needs to go after last night. The team selection alone shows he's out of ideas and just flinging shite at the wall.

    That being said it now means that Kelly, O'Donnell, Slattery and Mugabi (all so called senior players) are now seeing their 3rd manager out the door with a few others on their 2nd.

    Whoever comes in HAS to have experience. Hammell was completely wrong and Kettlewell has now shown in his 2 managerial jobs that when plan A goes to shit, he's done.
