Toxteth O'Grady

I'm just hoping he is still in the job come Sunday.

It's because UEFA adopt a policy of strict liability, holding clubs directly responsible for fan misbehaviour. Obviously the Scottish footballing authorities will never follow suit.

Some nice comments from Simo on his time at Motherwell https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cwy9195z131o "I have been dreaming of it," said Valakari. "I never took it for granted that I would come back here, but when I started my coaching career one of my things was 'yes, one day I would like to coach in Scotland'. "I started my professional career here so it was always a special place in my heart and how I see Scottish football, how I see this culture, everyone is breathing football. That is what I have been missing in my last positions. "Without Motherwell, I would not go to the Premier League, without Motherwell I would not go to the MLS, without Motherwell more likely I would not have played for the Finnish national team. Motherwell made me the player that I was."

Jake Hastie has just come on as a sub for Ayr at Tannadice. I didn't realise he had signed for them.

I was never a fan of McCoist, but his stock sank to a new low when he issued his "who are these people?" rant whilst manager of Sevco. The very definition of playing to the gallery.

Older supporters might remember another full back we had (briefly) called Sneddon. Fingers cross Seddon turns out to be a better signing. https://www.motherwellnet.com/database/player-archive/s/alan-sneddon/
