santheman Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Do we even have enough players left for him to coach as they all seem to have gone out on loan somewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, vaguely related: https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2020/10/19/tackling-the-new-challenges-of-developing-young-talent/ Quote “We also then analyse the player in games so they can work on it when they are back in the building during the week. “Generally most weeks they will be with us one to two days. They are still very much in the circle.' Obviously pleased to hear that those players being loaned out are still involved through the week but given they're playing in the lower leagues where protocols are a bit more lax I'm curious how that impacts on the testing (especially in light of Ross getting mouthy about other clubs having been riddled by the 'rona).

Bugs the life out of me, we’ve had plenty of ex **** spouting off every time their spoon fed questions by the media, should be written into their contracts to shut the f**k up about the old firm as the people who support the club that’s paying their wages basically don’t want to hear any gushing over the 2 blights on Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew he was part of the first team coaching staff but thought he was still in charge of the reserves as well That thought did cross my mind as well and I am assuming they might be subject to a more rigorous testing regime or even kept apart completely from the first team That kind of info might make a good episode of Inside Motherwell as I know I would be interested to see how all the different protocols work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I can’t remember the name of the poster on here who, although talking up Rangers at every available opportunity, said he was a Motherwell fan. He seems to have disappeared from here at the same time as Maurice Ross’ rise in the media. A coincidence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's MJC, and it's absolutely hilarious how easily he has people frothing at the mouth just by saying "Rangers". On the topic of big Beavis being out for 6 weeks with a dislocated shoulder, remember the days of Scott Leitch's shoulder dislocating during the game once a month or so, and each time he'd head over to the sidelines to get it strapped to his torso, and back on he came . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I've obviously no idea what goes on internally but based solely off their public appearences I'd feel a lot less worried with Ross as manager than Lasley if it comes to it.

gannonball Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I don't know what to make of him. He makes far more tactical insights than any regular on sportsound (not hard) and can tell he lives for football but at the same time he seems to have the charisma of Father Stone from Father Ted. A good hand to have if you were a manager but would bore the tits off the players if he was in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean anything in terms of Mo Ross as a coach it just means I think John Brown's an obvious c**t - so it's my issue not his. He came across well - if not exactly a barrel of laughs - in the MFC Podcasts he did (and that Open Goal episode tbf) and if nothing else seemed to fully buy into what the club was doing in terms of development and as @gannonball says he seems to be extremely serious about coaching and the game in general. We've always been open to players/coaches doing media work on the side, it raises their profile a bit and supplements their income so there's no real issue on that front. It worked out very well with McDonald and Craigan while McManus was far more low key. I don't really recall any of them causing as much fuss as Ross has with his St Mirren/Covid/Sevco hot takes though.

I actually heard this is on Sportsound whilst in my car on Sunday. Ross sounds like he's trying to come across a bit edgy, and get more media gigs - but to be fair, when he mentioned teams possibly using Covid as an excuse for getting games called off due to other injuries etc......he did say, "I'm not saying St Mirren did this" or words to those effect - he was just offering a hypothetical scenario. Tony Fitzpatrick's jumped on that, but he's not the brightest is he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I don't know, Tony came out with a lot of big words in his statement so maybe he's brighter than he suggests when he speaks. Of course, we all think he wrote that, don't we? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The bold Mo has pissed of Celtic too. I’m all for it. Let’s let him run his mouth about every other team in the premiership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
