Busta Nut Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I can only imagine Seedorf, Hylton, Campbell & Hartley are so near their wits end they can't concentrate on a saturday cos the boss is up in court. On things that annoy me at the fitba, our throw ins. We always threaten to take them quickly and then hang about until folk are fully marked up and then seemingly make no effort for the thrower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 We're due to play County at home next midweek but are both out the cup. I'm surprised there haven't been any rumblings about bringing the game forward to the Saturday. Maybe it's too close but I'm sure we've done it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell have been shite at throw-ins since the mid-90s when we'd throw the ball to Tommy Coyne, he'd dummy it, spin round and collect the pass back from Dougie Arnott. There was a brief, one-off, recovery in 2004 when Stephen Craigan decided to just throw the ball into the Kilmarnock net from about Row K of the East Stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Why is it that coaches decide that 30 seconds before coming on as a sub is the time to walk through the responsibilities of a player, Barry Maguire is a slow reader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our schedule since mid-Jan has been Sat - Weds - Sat - Sat - Weds - Sat - Weds - Tues - Sat - Tues and we've had injury/illness concerns the past couple of weeks I'd imagine we'd be quite happy to have some extra days (though clearly would rather still be in the cup etc). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Was Robinson in court the last time we had a slump? Or is that just something that happens to football clubs who aren't awash with cash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a decent amount of distance on the throw but it was helped on by Alan Combe who then decided to drop it into his own net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only lost 2 of the 7 games in the period between the arrest, his appearance in court and the end of the January window. We won 4 of the 7. Since the end of the January window it's now P 6 W 0 D 3 L 3 Although I’m sure it seems I’m skewing the argument to cover my original post I was only really aware (or remembered) the original incident when it went to court in January. I actually made a post in the GN forum relating to it on the same day, if any proof was needed that this was the date I became aware. Since 16th January your form has certainly dipped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'm pretty sure the court case is on Thursday this week. I'm sure February 27th was mentioned. For some reason, not being privvy to any of the particulars surrounding it, I get the impression the most he'll end up guilty of is breach of the peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given all the gate opening, I'm sure Jim Jefferies quote was "he took it fae Portibelly". Must be an east coast thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Reserves 2-1 down to Aberdeen currently. Trialist (presumably Robinson's son) has scored our goal from 25 yards. Maguire, Ndjoli and Manzinga involved from the first team, but no Dunne. I doubt that's because he's in the squad tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness where we've got Maguire, Ndjoli and Manzinga from the first team Aberdeen are giving Cerny, Hernandez, Gallagher and Hedges a run out from their first team. Bruce Anderson's playing (and scored) as well. Interesting (but not surprising I suppose) that MacIver's worked his way up to 3rd choice striker with us now given he was picked up without any real fanfare. Aberdeen's Twitter confirming it was Robinson who scored for us btw. Going by the team line up Maguire's playing centre half today.

Fwiw I imagine people at the club were aware of the story a while before it broke in December, and didn't find out from your Pie and Bovril thread a month later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 On 19/02/2020 at 13:39, Al B said: I totally agree. If only the Robinson family had stayed at home that day and had a cozy evening watching telly, then Bevis Mugabe and Christy Manzinga wouldn't be utterly dugshit at fitba. Must be so frustrating for the boys, sitting in their house thinking "I used to be able to do this, but then the gaffer got in an argument with his wife and the ability to tackle, pass, know where i'm supposed to be, or just generally look like I know what i'm doing, just drained right out of me". Just here to bump this point made previously by the right honourable gentleman, @Al B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I had a slightly awkward moment on Saturday where I had a five minute conversation about the trial and whether or not Robinson should go depending on the verdict before realising that our new trialist was sitting literally one seat infront of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
