Anyone thinking of going?

http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2017/08/17/judicial-panel-appeal-outcomes/ Motherwell FC’s trio of appeals were heard at Hampden Park this morning in front of the Judicial Panel. The appeals against Charles Dunne’s red card at Ross County and Trevor Carson’s dismissal at St Johnstone were both rejected. However, the appeal against Charles Dunne’s red card against St Johnstone was upheld. Trevor Carson, alongside skipper Carl McHugh, will now be suspended for Saturday’s match against Ross County. Charles Dunne will serve his one-match ban in the Betfred Cup Quarter Final against Aberdeen next month.

Club 100 (old Fir Park Club) are running a bus, leaving at 1.15pm.

The Aberdeen game will be 19-21 September according to https://spfl.co.uk/key-dates/

1-1

And the Billy Boys was belted out on several occasions. Is that not a banned song these days?

What happened near the start of the match? Was something chucked onto the pitch from the Bois section? And did the TV coverage make a big deal of it?

Pity our game against them has already been moved to Fir Park..? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40820663

Aberdeen failed last week with a second offer in the region of £400,000 for the 25-year-old striker. "If clubs are interested it's a compliment," said Moult. "In terms of bids and people being interested I'm very, very grateful. "But it's the club's decision. I've got another year on my contract." Motherwell have tabled a contract extension that would make Moult the best paid player at the club. The former Stoke City trainee moved to Fir Park from Wrexham in 2015 and has been top scorer in his two seasons with the Steelmen, netting 18 goals in each campaign. Moult is recovering from groin surgery and insists he is no hurry to leave. "It would be wrong for me to go and kick their door down if they value me a little bit more," he added. "The manager at the time, Ian Barraclough, sold the club to me as a stepping stone. That's what the club is. "I believe I can score goals wherever I go."

Hopefully not. I'm not in any hurry for another Friday night against the Old Firm after what happened when Celtic visited on the previous occasion.

FPC's report on tonight's AGM http://www.motherwell-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/well_society_agm_2017_908985/index.shtml Well Society AGM 2017 By Firparkcorner Last updated : 22 June 2017 Viewed : 21 The Well Society held its first AGM since taking ownership of Motherwell FC at Fir Park on Thursday evening. The formalities were soon completed and a Q&A session followed. Chairman Douglas Dickie got proceedings going with some wide ranging remarks about the recent work of the Society. He referred to the improvements in communication with members by means of the updated website, regular newsletters, board meeting reports, monthly surgeries and a regular presence in the stands on match-days. Work on updating members' data has progressed to such an extent that it was expected personalised mailshots could be sent in the coming weeks both to convey thanks for support and to encourage further contributions. A revised package of benefits would soon be revealed. Current income is around £10/11k per month and with the generous 'Double your Money' scheme in operation for the whole of 2017 there is an obvious need to maximise donations. For every pound raised Les Hutchison will reduce our debt by a corresponding amount. The three year agreement concluded last October requires that repayments of his loan (and the smaller amount due to John Boyle) need come only from a percentage of any player sales. Thereafter another negotiation is likely. In total the Society has raised £650k and that is used to support the club. Douglas referred to the financial backing available to our competitors and reminded the thirty or so in the audience that we are the backers of Motherwell. The manager is completely familiar with the clubs finances and his plans are tailored to be consistent with the resources at his disposal. Tom Feely delivered his accounts and answered a few technical questions. He made it clear that any sale of players would be determined by the Club/Society board and that we would seek a proper valuation. He indicated that fewer than 800 members made regular contributions and that efforts would be made to encourage more of the 2,000 currently on the books to sign up. Alan Burrows chipped in with an explanation of the club's position on the SFA's Project Brave. He is hopeful that we will meet their criteria but indicated that some creative thinking would be needed if we are to continue to develop youngsters from our community. The meeting concluded after an hour.

Must have something in my eye this morning... http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/15359840.Megan_O_Donnell__I_was_12_when_I_watched_my_dad__Phil__die_on_the_football_pitch__The_thing_I_ve_missed_most_is_not_getting_to_know_him_/?ref=fbshr?c=j2wvne

I'd disagree with that actually. He's one of the few journalists I'd give any credence to.

He was desperately poor last week, but I'm going for Heneghan.

For me, this was the most worrying thing about today. Even after such an abject performance there wasn't much in the way of booing at the end. It seems we are resigned to our fate.

Sorry but that's just nonsense. You can't put his error today down to a lack of game time. It was absolutely basic and the kind of thing I see when I watch my 8-year old playing on a Sunday morning.

For me, the worst two players on the park were Moult and McDonald. You know you are in trouble when your supposed best two players contribute absolutely nothing.
