  1. My day is immediately brightened by any appearance of Michael Higdon.Β 
    McPake calling him a fat b*****d right at the end of the first half to then get taken to the woodshed for 45 minutes in the second half. Tremendous value.Β 
    Was that not a different game when Higdon scored an overhead free-kick then ran up to McPake to rub his 'belly ' in front of him? I think of that every time I see McPake being interviewed. [emoji1]

    An absolute fluke today, can't actually believe that oneΒ [emoji23]
    I was pretty similar. Quite pleased with that actually as it suddenly came to me after a bit of puzzling.

  3. That was a real struggle to come up with a fourth word with the three letters I had then it just came to me.

  4. I sort of get why managers (like Robinson and Alexander) love anywhere-across-the-front-three-ers so much. Competent, out and out, strikers are a pretty rare commodity in our market- we fairly lucked out in ending up with Watt and KVV at the same time, while the rest of teams at our level have to gamble on guys like Cummings and Griffiths or persist with the likes of Kane and Main etc.Β 
    I do feel this leads to situations like ours though, where our striking options are now essentially a talented, but angry, old Dutch man and four wingers. Even a Jordan White shaped lump to throw on in the last 15 minutes would give us something different imo.
    I thought Shields looked OK but got very little to work with yesterday. He completely disappeared when put out wide though.
  5. Having just caught up on Sportscene's brief highlights, it really stands out how Carroll makes no attempt to defend at their goal. At the time I looked up and, seeing he was on his own, thought he had to go it alone but we had players back. Unfortunately we didn't bother to challenge him.

    Also, you can see the two-handed shove on Tierney for the penalty.

  6. Roberts got absolutely wiped out on the touchline in the first half to point thoughts of a red card went briefly through my mind. Tierney got hacked down for a professional foul and someone else went through him. I can't remember the other bookings but I really struggle to see how anyone can take issue with these. I genuinely can't remember any Motherwell challenges that were anywhere near as crude as these.

    Edit: the number of bookings seems a strange thing for us all to be arguing about when we all seem to agree Morton took a chance, Motherwell were generally on top until KVV came on and then took advantage against a tiring Morton team.

  7. Aye, all very good breweries. I've liked everything I've had from Vocation, probably the best at producing supermarket beers.
    Vale game is off today so I've come to Maryhill. They have no breakfast pies on today due to a supply issue so I'm consoling myself with a pint of T.

    Whereabouts in Maryhill is that? Viking?

    Frontal Skies Porter from 71 is lovely and rich. 1bf6460fe0f90464a260b8cdc7db873d.jpg
  8. I hadn't read this thread before doing it but agree with a lot of the comments. I can't be arsed working out how to do spoilers on my phone so I'll leave it at that!

  9. In all seriousness we seemingly have approaching Β£5m sitting in the bankΒ beforeΒ you add in the government money.
    I hope we get properly desperate in the end and start launching mega bids all over the shop.
    Really? Why are you not spending more throughout the squad never mind the odd player who doesn't seem much better than what you already have?

    And yes, Porter wasn't under-rated. At least, not by Motherwell fans.
  10. Totally fluked it on the third try.

    I thought you I was doing badly with my first guess but that's impressive!

    Anyway, much better after yesterday's fiasco.
