David Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 As I say, it's a nothing result. It's only game time. That's what the managers & supporters of the losing side usually say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 That's what the managers & supporters of the losing side usually say. Â It's what the winning side should be saying as well. They're too interested in potentially false hope for that though. I've seen enough of that to know what it's like. We've had one friendly so far and it's all positive as far as I'm concerned, but it means nothing if we don't go and start playing well in the league. Â I'm pretty sure you're not reading too much into a 3-2 win over Morton and nor should you be. I always have a good laugh at the expense of people getting wound up by friendlies. Win, lose or draw.

TAFKAC Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 No, don't get me wrong. Fitness and cohesion are most important but obviously you want to get into a winning habit too. You'd rather lose in a friendly than a match that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricc1PW Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 No, but a 5-0 win over Dumbarton is impressive   from what I hear Nicky Law bossed the game?  he'll have a big season for you, great signing. he was at City when McCall was here, best midfielder we've had since dropping out of the championship (well, either him or Furman) and he is destined for bigger things.

Yeah, he looks like a top class signing. If we can get a few seasons out of him and sell him on for decent cash I'll be happy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â how long is his contract? he turned McCall down when he was OOC with us and went to Rotherham for more money. I think he's possibly turned down the better offers this time to try and repay Stuart, but might have his head turned later on, if he's still under contract at that point and you can get a fee then that's not as bad.

David Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 how long is his contract? He's on a two year deal, which will more than likely see him move on next summer if he does particularly well this season. Â I think he's possibly turned down the better offers this time to try and repay Stuart. He's more than likely recognised the fact that Motherwell are a club that are known for bringing players in, getting the best out of them, which results in them getting a move and a more financially lucrative contract. Â The fact we play regular European football won't hurt either. In fact, he's mentioned it a few times in interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 After missing last week, it's good to finally get along to Cappielow again. Walsall tonight and I'm all set and ready. It's been too long since I've been to a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAC Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Threave v Kilmarnock tomorrow due to work, should be interesting. Never been to Castle Douglas prior to the weekend and I've now been twice in the space of a few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Do we really believe that Kenny Miller will come back to Rangers for a third time? Wouldn't that be something though, if he was the top scorer for next season and thus two seasons in a row despite leaving for six months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I haven't read about it, but is he homesick? If so, it's a very real possibility. It's probably the only thing that would convince him to make a move for less money. Â Turns out the Morton game is tonight. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Tonight is also big Craggs testimonial against Partick Thistle at Fir Park. Â EDIT: What's this I'm hearing about police wanting to cancel the Rangers vs Stirling Albion game at half-time due to sectarian singing from the Rangers end?

InvertedSmiley Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Tonight is also big Craggs testimonial against Partick Thistle at Fir Park. EDIT: What's this I'm hearing about police wanting to cancel the Rangers vs Stirling Albion game at half-time due to sectarian singing from the Rangers end? I don't think that the police wanted to cancel it. But they did want it stopped for a period to allow them to further warn the Rangers support that there would be arrests if they continued to sing sectarian songs.  As for Kenny Miller, I think that Bursuspor's desire for some kind of transfer fee might scupper Rangers interest. I am finding Ally McCoist's transfer strategy of talking about players he wants to sign in public before even contacting the selling club a little peculiar and, dare I say, amateurish.
