  1. I'd be very surprised if McGregor hasn't ever received any offers to leave Scotland for a higher level, but who knows. I'm sure there was some chat about Rodgers looking to take him to Leicester when he left Celtic for them. I guess when you are captaining the club you've played for your whole career, lifting a treble just about every season while taking home ~£25k a week (guesstimate) and don't need to move away from family or friends then I can see why he's quite happy to hang around at Celtic.
  2. There’s McGregor on the 4-man shortlist for the SFWA player of the year. FWIW, I think McGregor is a fantastic midfielder and is one of the first names on the team sheet. He does a job that not many of our other midfielders can do and gives us the balance to allow McT and McGinn to support the striker. Always been a bit disappointed he never tested himself outside of Scotland but no doubt he was/is capable of playing at a higher level than Celtic.
  3. Weirdly, this game is one of my earliest football memories. I would have been 6 or 7 and remember watching it and being absolutely fascinated with the blizzard, orange ball and Vialli’s big baldy head.
  4. I found out the result after emerging from an ice cave in the middle of Iceland this afternoon and assumed I had entered some alternate dimension. Class.
  5. I’ve had a go a couple of times over the last week or so to stick my thoughts regarding external investment down in a semi-coherent post but ended up deleting them. Thankfully @crazylegsjoe_mfc’s post here perfectly sums up my thoughts in a much better way than I could articulate. Interested to see how the vote plays out in the next few days but expect it’ll be a fair majority voting against the Society losing its majority.
  6. Haha small world indeed! Was very surprised how poor the crowd was for a team in the knockouts of the Conference League.
  7. Same. I was watching them last weekend when in Bratislava on a stag. Weiss didn’t play which was unfortunate cos the booing from me fuelled by €3 Staropramen in the stadium would have been something to behold.
  8. that’s about 10 pages of discussion over the last week or so about what we might do in the summer rendered utterly pointless. Good stuff.
  9. Motherwell asked members of the ‘Well Society for their views but, if memory serves right, gave us a whopping 48 hours notice before the club vote. Essentially a pointless exercise and only for show as no doubt the club had already decided they were voting it in. FWIW I submitted a pretty lengthy email at the time outlining my reasons for being completely opposed to VAR (most of which have already been mentioned by others on this thread) but unsurprisingly didn’t get any response from the club.
  10. Aye, I don't expect we'll be adding many points to our tally between now and the end of March with Hearts, Celtic and Rangers in 3 of the next 4 games. The other game away to Livi midweek is huge. Lose that along with expected losses in the other 3 and we could be right back in the dirt.
  11. I keep flipping my opinion on SK but I'm more coming round to your thinking on this. This season has shown us what happens to the budget when you're paying off various management teams in a short period, and when you look at SK's numbers/story there's zero guarantee we will be able to attract anyone better; - Took over a sinking ship and kept us up more than comfortably, while getting the best out of KVV; -Did some excellent work in cutting deadwood and trimming our massively bloated squad in the summer/January; - Has us sitting midtable (at the moment) despite clearly being told to work with a considerably reduced budget and being limited by injuries to key players; - Introduced Lennon Miller to the team, has transformed the bold Thelonius, and has Blair Spittal playing his best football in years (ever?) - Has a strong record in academy football up at County, which should be attractive for a club that's always going on about how the academy is the lifeblood of the place. Clearly the points above don't tell the full story (like 1 win in 19, being papped out the cup by Morton and chucking a 3 goal lead the other night), and I'm far from an SK fan-boy, but with an upcoming refresh behind the scenes, the vast majority of the current squad being OOC in the summer and the opportunity to hopefully use next seasons budget a bit more sensibly, I think SK has done enough in his year in charge to justify giving him the opportunity see through the squad overhaul he has begun. Should add though, if we end up in the playoffs or worse this season he can GTF.
  12. Totally agree. The chances of your 3rd choice keeper having to play are so minimal that you'd much rather take along the vastly experienced guy who is clearly a respected member of the squad, even if he's not played that much club football, rather than the fringe keeper who's having a shocker of a season. From a Scotland perspective, I'm hoping Hearts get 3rd sewn up fairly quickly and Gordon can get a few more games between now and the end of the season.
  13. My head detached from my shoulders with such velocity it ended up in the upstairs flat at that point.
  14. shit, thought I’d get away with it before anyone noticed.
  15. No idea where to even begin with that game, so I won’t bother. Red TV and Stevie Tosh though. Ooft. Now claiming they’ve ’flipped the lines’ for the Miovski offside.
