Alan Burrows appreciation post.

I was interested in the "I don't know how many years left I have at Motherwell" part - reminiscent of the hints that Nicola Sturgeon has been dropping over the past couple of years

Flow for First Minister? Could do a job.

Have them switch jobs, could piss off a lot of the same people twice.

On the subject of #YoungMotherwell this is lifted from the rfcyouths page.

The u18s are top of the league after 6 games (albeit Rangers and Celtic have a game in hand).

The Nations League is great and all but it isn’t half stopping Liam Kelly getting an actual cap.

that's the sort of finishing we require.

I’m not sure that it has. Clarke had the opportunity to give him a cap in friendlies in March and he didn’t. I think Scotland will take every last minute we can get out of Gordon.

There’s not been much between Marshall, McGregor and Gordon over recent years and now is really the first sustained period where there is a massive drop off in quality between the 1st and 2nd choice.

Sounds like a wild game. 1 down in 70 seconds, 2-1 up, 3-2 down - draw 3-3 then f**k the pens.

I am beginning to think that SOD may drop out the international picture.

[Handsome_Devil]

In fairness he probably has 26 more caps than anyone including himself thought he'd get including a major tournament...he can be delighted and proud of his international career even if it's over.

[Pettigrew]

Only loosely on topic, but just saw Twitter giving me a recommendation to follow some crypto currency mob on the basis that Jake Hastie also follows them.  

The mind boggles...

Saw the POTM nominees and remembered Penney's loan is only until January.

If only Tierney could hit a shot like that in a game rather than a finesse shot into the keepers arms every time Jamie Murphy 2007 style.

Is there an option to extend?

No mention.

"Left back Matt Penney has joined Motherwell on a six-month loan from Ipswich Town. 

The loan is subject to registration formalities and international clearance."

He's also out of contract with Ipswich in the summer.

Ipswich sitting 2nd just now - hopefully for our sake that means they’ve no need for him to rush back at the end of this loan.

It kind of puts us in the same situation we had with Devante Cole/Wigan where we wanted to extend but they ended up taking him back before palming him off to Doncaster Rovers on a short-term permanent for an "undisclosed" fee.

Anyway, that's him POTM.

[Swello]

I'm assuming that if he's at Ipswich, the chances of us coming within a mile of his current wages are zero - so best case is that he is here until the end of the season.

Goss got my vote fwiw (not a lot it would appear).
