I see Maddison is getting some stock for going to the darts after the match at the weekend.

 

I think he's having a reasonable season yet he seems to get more criticism than most. Obviously there is something about him and his style that irritates.

I was reading that. I think he's getting more stick for lashing out at people online who criticised him going to the darts. 

 

Same as what he done here nearer the end. Caught flack for being seen to go out and enjoy himself when we were struggling (which I think is a harsh criticism) and then spending more time and energy clapping back at people, which he should probably know better by this stage of his career.

Jeez, got to be something behind that other than they not rating him? 

Think he only signed a short term deal, but apparently wasn’t fit

Maswanhise scores again for Motherwell. Seems to do be doing well up there. Never understood why he wasnt loaned out while he was here

 

 

Lovely touch and finish there. Let him leave for free, but have a rated lad that can’t get in at Dundee?

Martin Keown savages Craig Levein for Leicester City 'torture' as he reveals what ex Scotland boss was 'useless' at - Daily Record

 Just repetitive runs backwards and forwards, full doggies -  I just bit my lip, through all the criticism, put my head down and worked.

 

I must have missed that because you certainly didn't look like you could give a toss. 

 

 

The television pundit refused to end his career on that note and moved on for a swansong at Reading. He acknowledged: “You might wonder why I didn’t retire then. Up to that point, I had been playing every week and I didn’t want my career to end on a sour note."

 

So you had double vision and was worried yet you went and signed for Reading and carried on heading the ball.

Somehow I only just learned that ex-academy player Morgan Brown is now plying his trade in Cyprus
Joined Aris Limassol in 2019, even played against Rangers in the Europa League last season, but is out of their current manager's plans and set to join another club (possibly AEL Limassol according to Cypriot media - Aris want to loan him but AEL wants to buy instead)
