Fuck that. Best days well behind him, made of Ryvita and he's a cunt.

He's also a cunt.

 

stop sugar coating it and tell us what you really think 

The brother of their number 3 was assassinated in Dallas in 1963 and was himself killed in a hotel in California in 1968?

(I'll get my coat and see myself out)

Clearly some of them were expected as they did not kick a ball for us recently or this season at all.

with some of the others we will not know if they were offered a deal but declined to accept it or got a better offer somewhere else - maybe McMann falls into that category.

With the younger players i think the contribution of Kai and Miller Thomson have probably meant they were retained and others released.  lets face it if you are not forcing your way into the team in the lower championship then it is less likely in the league above.  I was surprised when i realised that Middleton is only around 6 months older than Glass, huge difference in contribution this season.

In some ways the brutal releasing of young players is required, part of our problem has been we have retained too many of our you players who never seem to become first team regulars and just become bench warmers which in turn slows down access for those younger than them to emerge.  In most clubs bringing through 2 young players a year is a good return and if you have exceptional talents possibly more.  Ultimately you need to have an opportunity for the academy products to emerge and that is where we have been poor in recent years and offered contracts to players who probably didnt warrant them.

My biggest hope now is that we have some incoming players lined up already and are not going in to the season with a lot of gaps to fill in the squad and signing loan deals on the last day of the transfer window.

Quite a lot of Motherwell fans seem to be keen to see the back of him.

Motherwell fan I know said he's excellent on his day but prone to a few bombscare moments.

is he really an upgrade on what we currently have, i don't rate him as a central defender so he would only be a right back and possibly injury cover.

2 - 0 to us

Think they wont want to take any risks with the play offs coming so will not be as up for it as they normally are.

The priority has to be the spine of the team and for that we need to sign a solid and reliable keeper - no risks in this area, a solid signing here would be a great foundation to build on

If he is borderline do we risk him for this game, as if we win then it needs a massive goal difference swing over the next two games where he could be rested?

might have been a new tactic or down to our two central defenders but seemed like we spent less time playing it back to them and across the back which meant the ball was played forward quicker, ensuring the opposition did not get time to settle.

need to keep that up in the remaining games, that along with the players being up for the game today seemed key.

a lot of good performances in that great win
