"The rumours of the fight after the Hibs match are true. Derek Adams got stuck into Hammell and Pearson for not trying a leg because they were angling for big money moves. He then rounded on Martyn Corrigan, who he blamed for the Hibs goal it was at this point that Corrigan decked him. Seemingly other players were involved in having a go at Pearson and Hammell as well." (22.01.04)

Another "Anon" I’m afraid.

1. Dirk Lehmann left Motherwell because Terry Butcher disliked the "porn star" rumours.  Apparently Dirk slept with 3 female Fir Park members of staff, although in his time at Hibs he had no fewer than FIVE conquests!
2. James McFadden was told by Berti Vogts he’d play for Scotland more often if he left Motherwell and joined a Premiership team.  Celtic were never interested in him.  (11/11/03)

Rumour:

The SPL clubs in the east of Scotland will back Falkirk in Friday’s vote for two reasons:

1. They think The Bairns will bring a  large away support and hence increase the gate
2. They are cheesed off by Mr Boyle who appears at away games without the formalities of a tie (expected in the boardroom) and moans about how much money he has lost (20/05/03)

Faddy will DEFINITELY be on his way in the summer.  During the January transfer window we received 4 bids of £1.5m for him, and although each was turned down the interested clubs were told that negotiations would take place for his signature in June.  Faddy himself want to leave as he doesn’t fancy another relegation battle next season, assuming we stay up.
