Is he that patient? Think they are on the 6th manager in under 7 years or something like that..
He quit, he wasn't pushed.

While at the start of a season everything that you state about the comparison is true, there is a time and place to make a jump and now... really isn't it.
*owing to standard, teuchter inbred nepotism
Given that Dougie's been given guarantees about the budget at Cappielow I'd also think twice about moving if I was him, but if we put pro-Morton bias to one side, County simply is a job that's bigger, more visible, and with less pressure.

Ross County in their current predicament aren't really a step up from a resurgent Morton. I would hope Dougie would get us promoted next season, or even this season with a playoff win against, em... Ross County.
County have a wealthy backer who is very patient and a recent history of top flight football, and even cup success. Morton do not have any of these things. I am full of admiration for how both MCT and Dougie have gone about things but without Dougie there's every chance our budgetary position begins to show itself and we end up in League 1 as often as not. County would be a significant step up from Morton in every respect except perhaps fan expectations and if Imrie wanted to climb the managerial ladder to a Hibs or even a Wigan or something he'd do much better in Dingwall than Greenock.

Ross County is an easy introduction to the SPFL Premier League. There won't be much in the way of expectations, other than avoid relegation, the money will be decent, little pressure and you get to live in a nice corner of the world.
If they come calling, it would be a good move for him, however why would Ross County pay us compensation when they can got the pick of dozens of available managers wanting back into the game.
I agree. He'd be a great fit there but they're more likely to look elsewhere.

George looks a bit like Bob Mortimer in Catterick.
How many awards is that for Dougie now? He'll need to get a storage unit at this rate.

I fear we’ll lose him in the summer. Felt he was going somewhat under the radar before he started scoring more often, as his all round style of play is brilliant.
Aye, it's a bit of a Grimshaw situation - guy perhaps playing slightly below his level gets a run in the team, gets his form back, and gets a bigger contract elsewhere as a result.
There are much worse problems to have, of course, such as not getting those players at all, as is happening to failing Dunfermline Athletic, who have a very bad squad filled with "youngsters"! Sad!

Oakley is a Sherman tank. Invaluable for us. We'll do well to hold onto him.

I highly doubt we'd price him out of a move. He's very ambitious and wouldn't have signed a deal if we were going to tie him here forever.
All hypothetical at the moment anyway. All that matters right now is Motherwell on Friday.

Sportsound/Open all mics team touting Dougie for the Aberdeen job.
Feck off!!!
Garrity makes it 5
It's a case of when, not if, Dougie moves up but I don't think Aberdeen will take the chance. Their loss, our gain.

Did they not get good money from selling their young keeper.
Allegedly 350k plus future clauses.

I think you may have misunderstood. No one from outside the ground would be able to watch, unless they stand in the car park.
The area I'm talking about is the walkway between the male toilet exit door and the end of the pie stall nearest the WDE, maybe 20 mtrs maximum.
Wee neds will gob on it.

He's talking about inside the ground. Up the back of the Cowshed where the pie stall and bogs are, so you can see the pitch while queueing for bovril.
Oh.
Well, don't I feel stupid.
Right, let me save face by quickly coming up with why it's still a bad idea (even though it might not be a bad idea.)
Umm... wee neds will gob on it.

I've suggested the following via email to Dale, as yet I've had no reply, but given he's probably been involved in contract negotiations and the turnstile issue I'm not about to kick up a fuss about that.
My proposal is that they remove three rows of the breeze block wall at the back of the Cowshed in front of the toilets and pie stall, and replace them with perspex windows, thereby allowing those queuing to still see the game while they wait.
The wall in its current form does not support any of the shed roof and therefore should have no impact on the structure itself.
As far as I can see, this shouldn't be to expensive to do and would enhance the overall match day experience. How many of us have missed an important period of play or goal, while queuing?
I know this was suggested sometime ago but never taken forward for whatever reason.
Probably because letting people watch for free from outside is a really bad idea when the correct solution is just to fix the queuing system. Inside the ground you can do things like regulate unaccompanied children; outside you're much less limited in what you can do.

"Astonishing" really is the word when you see actual top-level pros having a kickabout. I don't mean marginal guys but the absolute top-level internationals, they can be pushing 50 and unfit but you can tell immediately they aren't like mortal men. No doubt they worked hard to have the career they did but it would also be deeply obvious that they just "had it" and if they applied themselves they'd go on to great things.

Desperate little Wales
Aside, is he in the same league as Declan McManus? I see up until his injury he was ripping the Welsh league up
Yes, the Welsh Premier is where Declan plays for TNS.

Interesting one. The top clubs in the Welsh league are probably mid-table League One. If there was a guy in the diddy Falkirk league with those kind of numbers, Championship clubs would be sniffing around. It's a risk, of course, but if the club's done their homework then hopefully it'll work out.
-
Welsh lad's 28, that'd be a bit of an odd one. Normally it's younger guys who get a chance at full-time football. We will see.

2 hours ago, SpoonTon said:That can start with advising fans to arrive earlier for games like this one.
They've been doing that for years but oddly enough, since this isn't the World Cup final, people aren't that enthusiastic about standing around in the street in a badly-managed crowd with no visible queue lines so that they can have a 20% chance of their ticket scan not working.
I guarantee people are showing up earlier than they used to on average, but even showing up at 2:40 isn't sufficient anymore. Hence the problem now lies entirely with the club and not the fans.

Attendance 3,568. Hospitality MOTM was Crawford, unsurprisingly.
Feels like two points dropped but in the second half it could have gone either way, really.

I have to say the ref has made a couple of weird decisions but in terms of controlling a bad-tempered game he's done an excellent job. After being hacked down there Jai was furious but the ref intervened immediately and got the Partick tosser away from the situation.
Not sure what the additional two bookings were about (one for Strapp?) though.

I've always had a lot of time for Kettlewell, even as a player, and I think he will have his team well-drilled tomorrow. However, we're a match for anyone right now. Remember, at a far worse ebb than this we gave Rangers a decent game at Ibrox.
