Could Alex Neill see it as a stepping stone to his dream move to Ibrox?

I'm amazed it took so long. I suppose it was overnight.

Apparently it used to be all the rage for pilots to be up all night with the stewardesses and a bag of coke.
Hardly any crashes, so clearly it's fine. Probably say they drink better when blitzed.
Surely you've seen Airplane? It's amazing what those autopilots can do.

Can remember listening to a program on Radio Scotland about wills about 10 year a go As far as i can remember it would not be legal to do what your gran did. If i remembered right and it is a big "IF" your mum would be entitled to a quarter of a quarter of her estate. It said the Scottish Gov. had plans to tighten it up even more. If anybody is in the same situation better get some legal advice
I'm surprised at that. I thought you could write your will any way you wanted.

One of those days. I didn't think either team played particularly well but Aberdeen took their goal well. Aberdeen had more threat in the first half and I thought we carried we looked more dangerous in the second but the subs weakened us and Aberdeen saw out the game comfortably enough in the end.
I thought all of our better players looked a bit off it today, perhaps a bit rusty after a two week break so hopefully we can sort that out with another break coming.
Miller's 'goal' was the far end from me so I had no idea how it made it into the net never mind if there was a handball. There's no way the alleged handball against Shinnie which was right in front of me at the end should have been given as a penalty but I reserve the right to change if we had a goal chopped off for a similar non-handball.
Ah well, back to worrying about the play-off place. At least straight relegation looks pretty much off the table.

It will be good enough to win, I'd imagine.
Everyone seems to think their team will lose. So, stick-on draw and everyone's wrong?

I still think it's very unlikely we'll be sixth and it only takes a few weeks of things going against you and we're nervous again...
That said, there's no doubt this weekend is a huge chance. St Johnstone are likely to lose in Glasgow so win and we have such a gap to those below I'd be confident of not being worse than eighth.
And I'd have given huge odds on that status just a few weeks ago!
Winning on Saturday would mean 3 wins in a row. As you say, you'd have got huge odds on that a few weeks ago.

Try telling youngsters about it and they won't believe you!
I hadn't realised it Wayne Foster's penalty that he saved - couldn't have happened to a more deserving fellow.
I had a memory of being at a game where the ref took exception to a double-sub happening without his permission and booked all four players but hadn't realised it was this one - proper pedantic refereeing and nothing says old school like Cammy Duncan being physically lifted off the park and up the tunnel.

Is this going to turn into a selection of Clark and Kelly howlers? I think the only outcome is we'll see neither of them should be anywhere near the international team (but there are few alternatives for the squad).

Take it back to the old days when you had 2 outfield subs and no replacement goalie. Gunn plus 22 outfielders.
13 man matchday squad and if the keeper gets injured an outfield player takes his jersey and goes in instead. Stevie Kirk done it at Tynecastle and even saved a penalty. It all adds to the drama and excitement. Scrub this 5 subs pish and make football great again.
I was there. Horrible challenge early on by Wayne Foster on Cammy Duncan and we came back from two down to draw. Jamie Dolan against Celtic was more recent but it's changed days.

The chances of actually using your 3rd choice keeper at a tournament must be astronomically low - even for teams that routinely get to semi's/finals - so taking Gordon may be as much about his presence in the squad/non footballing reasons (although Clarke never strikes me as particularly sentimental for stuff like that).
I agree it's unlikely a third choice keeper would play but it's not too outlandish to imagine a scenario where you are a man down due to an injury in training and a keeper gets sent off. Or are you allowed to call up a replacement from the beach for the injured player?

Are they going to get 45 minutes each? I hate friendlies.

I thought he was only here until the end of the season as well but couldn't be bothered checking. I assumed he'd accepted a short term deal with a view to picking up a better deal for next season.

It's his birthday though. Happy Birthday Oli!

I remember saying it post-PAOK, but today is another good example of how much of a gut punch it is going to be to lose Barron on a free, especially when you feel there is still so much to get from him.
A genuine example of a multi-million midfielder coming through our academy and he is going to move on for nothing. A sore one.
Did he come through your academy? Would you not be due a hefty development fee?

Warnock gone. Any new manager bounce will hopefully be in their midweek game and not next Saturday.

Did we miss a penalty or is my memory playing tricks on me? Murphy?

I recently finished Timmy Mallett's autobiography, Utterly Brilliant which, to my surprise, was indeed utterly brilliant. Inspired by the life of his recently deceased Syndrome brother, cycles from his home near London on a pilgrimage to Compostela de Santiago. Despite this, he doesn't concentrate on the cycling or religious aspects but more the people he meets interspersed with the stories of his life. He comes across as just an incredibly nice person who I have to admit I found inspiring - we should all be a bit more like Timmy.

On the Moses theme, what would be the Motherwell ten commandments?
Up until recently, Thou Shall Not Win.
Honour Thy Father - he knew Joe Wark.

He's been released by a team that we pumped (years ago) so he's pish. Is that not how it goes?

Something about him scoring against Aberdeen and parting the red sea. Dunno, haven’t quite worked it out yet but I’ll have some excellent bible themed patter ready for next season.
He's going to lead us to the promised land (of the top six).

You wonder if opinions would be different if someone photoshopped the strips.

Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

I'd love to see that scenario too but can you imagine how many pages the match thread would run to?
In all seriousness, I get the points you make and the team names are interchangeable. It's already happened on a few occasions this seasons with managers pointing but there always seems to be another incident which the manager wants to concentrate on moaning about.
