Folk acknowledge and support the good things that the Bois bring to games. Long may it continue. Perth last week being a great example of the atmosphere and support they can provide. Drum included. And the community work they have driven through various initiatives over the years. I have not read one poster decrying those contributions. Quite the opposite. But what I do see are a few, no matter what is reported and no matter what people who witnessed incidents say, refusing to acknowledge that the Bois actions at times are over the top and on occasion a throw back to the intimidation and violence of years past. Any mention of the incident in Dundee (which did happen), the trashing of a pub in Kilmarnock (which did happen), the street battle in Kirkcaldy (which did happen) or the threatening of a female Well supporter at Dingwall (which did happen) are met with 'That did not happen' or ' Get the facts straight'. To be clear, I and the people with me witnessed three of those examples, and a mate witnessed the fourth. No-one can deny pyrotechnics are an issue as well. Or does that not happen either? It may well be a small minority who are causing the trouble (I genuinely believe it is) but sadly the whole group then comes under the spotlight. If some have wrongly come to the attention of the Police and the Club have been involved in that, then that is wrong and needs addressed. As a separate issue. The fact the Bois are supported by some who are in complete denial and/or have influence within the Well Society only makes matters less likely to change and provides encouragement to continue the nonsense.. And it's not an age thing either, so let's knock that lie on the head straight up.. Another tactic used to deflect from the fact that there are issues which need sorted. Back to what I understand was an incident free Perth. There was a huge Police presence around the stadium and a large number of Stewards inside. May always be the case at St Johnstone of course, but from memory it was a lot more than usual. Interesting to see what police numbers turn up at Aberdeen. Are Motherwell now High Risk?

Spot on...the 'wee dicks' will be propping the club up long after the 'auld dicks' are no longer able to.

Again, absolutely no one is saying that the younger element of our fanbase is perfect. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that none of our fanbase is perfect, full stop. What is embarrassing is the way the young lads are looked down upon and basically sneered at by an element of our fanbase. I have no time for that. "you can do all the food drives and bucket collections you want but people aren't daft"? What kind of patter is that? I'd wager that the lads who run those initiatives have done a lot more for the local community than many who choose to sneer at them. I've actually got more time for the guys with their "annoying" drum and their over the top enthusiasm than I have the older types who like to spend 90 minutes red in the face while they hurl obscenities at guys who are often teenagers or in their early twenties.

Corrected your post for you, irrespective of what people think it seems a minority have crossed the line a few times, so is it any surprise individuals are being banned. Stick to the singing, tifos, creating a good matchday atmosphere etc etc and there will be no issue's Be the Motherwell ultras and not some bunch of wannabe green brigade clones, with a political agenda and actively seeking confrontation at every turn.

Man, the sheer bitterness from some of our fans towards a segment of the younger support is actually embarrassing. "You can do all the food drive an bucket collection you want but people aren't daft" Fucking hell.

Of course you do. Every post about the young team you appear to defend them no matter what has happened before vanishing like a fart in the wind again until the next issue arises. Previously you pointed out when they tore up a Killie pub that it was all innocent fans who were charged that weren't in the country (that old chestnut) and repeated a similar stance lately about the recent protests. For someone not in the know you must have some set of contacts. You were even spreading misinformation about Bob Park allowing Rangers to do a fan display in the past while at the same time denying ours which was proven untrue unsurprisingly.

Nah it just means that every time the daily rancid has to mention him for whatever reason it will be "Celtic Fan Christoph Waltz" same as they do with Rod Stewart.

When I've seen Anderson play he's good on the ball but he's very small for a defender. He needs to get away from Celtic anyway and get playing.

I have split loyalty as I know young Anderson and I played amateur football with his dad. I know he was very frustrated with sellik signing that Brazilian on loan (apparently now worth 20 million! Ba boom) However I hope Ewan gets a chance

Gemmill's been a bit better recently with selections but he's missing 7 of his usual starters now so he's probably dreaming up something incredibly stupid for Friday.

Loved it pal

The person in the previous post said that himself and his wife had been threatened and abused by fans - I'm assuming he meant some of the well bois. I'm not perfect. Far from it but I've never gone to a game and threatened anyone. I think there has to be some kind of balance where people can appreciate the decent things that the well bois do - and say if they have concerns as well. There are people in our fan base that sneer at lots of people. We do have a toxic element in our fanbase on and offline.The only concern I have is that Motherwell fans abusing other Motherwell fans really doesn't reflect well on us. No more than that.
