We haven't really seen that since the original Ojamaa. Actually...looking at it from this angle there's a subtle wee backheel shift that you don't really see on the other footage (not unlike the goal against Aberdeen where absolutely no one clocked his first touch before he hit it).

I feel like to truly appreciate David Turnbull I'd need to rewatch every single game at a quarter of the speed. The boy's operating on a different level of reality.

I watched Turnbull #balling his way through the u20s in the Dev league and the entire time I was thinking "aye, he's magic like but he'll not get the time to play like that in the first team." The thing is...he fucking does. He's absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is...he fucking does. He's absolutely ridiculous.He doesn’t get the time. He creates it. His ability to create space and move the ball is beyond anything I’ve seen at Fir Park in a long time. On a totally different level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Even the nonchalant way he shields the ball is frightening. All this before he picks an outrageous pass with the outside of the foot. I’m not even sure he needs to wash his kit. He doesn’t break sweat doing this.

Bobby_F Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Changing the topic just a little (oh, all right then, a lot) I watched Question Time from Motherwell last night, and was surprised at the strong Tory/Unionist/Pro-Brexit make up of a the audience? I guess the people of Motherwell are still grateful to the Tories for getting rid of all that pesky, noisy, smelly, heavy industry that used to blight their town.

AndyRoss Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You'd be totally wrong to guess that, let's not take the 'selected at random' audience on QT as indicative of the opinion of a town that has seen its industry decimated by those b*****ds. All I've seen in relation to last night's show was the vast number of those who applied and were unsuccessful, all the while a familiar face is able to make an appearance and ask a question for the umpteenth time. As a friend said in the aftermath, what's more of a surprise about the reaction to QT, is that folk are still surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw this guy sitting in the front row I knew what was coming. What I didn't expect was just how incredibly unrepresentative of Motherwell the audience would be. You do expect the BBC to stoke the audience a certain way, but last night was beyond parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I dunno, the prospect of crashing out of Europe and the top flight within the space of a couple months has got me totally scunnered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
