  1. Good to see you've followed the "Well" as long as me, and I'm sorry you don't have the funds to join the Society, but the point being in those 57 years have you ever had the opportunity to have your say about any decision the club made? The answer is no. Buying into the society now gives everyone the right to have their say about things that effect the club. So while I admire your loyalty, like mine, in my opinion my season ticket get's me nothing more than entry to games and the same seat every week. Society membership get's me a vote.
  2. While we're at it. Anyone fancy putting in a bid for Rangers. I reckon about £15m would get us in with a shout, then of course we would withdraw it at the last minute like everybody else.
  3. I have been a Motherwell supporter all my life. I have followed them when relegated and when being successful. Who they played didn't matter, I supported my team and I will until I'm no longer here. To me, I'm the kind of person the club should be listening to especially now when the club want me to be part of the Society that will have some say in the running of the club. So if my club need my help to vote correctly and put Rangers? at the bottom of the pile, where they belong, so be it. All this scaremongering about loss of revenue is just that, until someone can put figures to it that show the losses. The point being they can't do it because no one has challenged Sky regards the TV deal, no one knows the positive effect that having 11 teams chasing a European spot in the league will have to attendances and no one knows the negative effect that keeping Rangers? in the league might have on away support and non returning home support. So I still say NO to Newco
  4. Please listen to your fans Motherwell, because I agree with this guy!
  5. Maybe that's the threat we and the other ten clubs supporters should use. If Rangers are voted back into the SPL, we should all boycott every away game. So extra income from Rangers visits will be negated.
  6. I couldn't agree more. Perhaps we should have a poll on this use of our money. I would be certainly happy for my contribution to be used, if it meant the intergrity of our league was upheld and "whatever they are called" were punished as they should be and dropped to the bottom of the pile.
  7. Why don't we just allow Rangers and Celtic to do what they like. If their happy to give the rest of the diddy teams in the league some scraps to keep the league going until they get the opportunity to leave for something "better", so be it, because it would appear we're in that situation just now, with everybody bending over to get happily shafted by the bigot brothers. All we get from the "unbiased" press is that it would be a disaster if Rangers were not in the Premier League. Now our own manager is saying the same. Lets forget what Rangers have been doing, come back all is forgiven. They all seem to forget the strength of feeling shown by all fans of all clubs about allowing them to just walz away into the sunset, putting two fingers up to all of us, and basically getting away with anything they like. Now even their fans think they can blackmail Scottish football, by threatening boycotts if anyone dares to sanctions on their beloved cheats (sorry Rangers).Everybody in the media is a prophet of doom about the future, so I say let's just crawl back into our holes and let them do what they like because it would appear our voice will not be heard. I've just had a thought, why don't all the supporters of all the other clubs threaten to boycott all Rangers games home and away, and maybe the powers that be (who is that anyway!) will listen then.
  8. I agree about these teams having debt, but if Rangers are let off from paying their debts, maybe the Kilmarnock's of this world should just do the same and get rid of their debt without suffering punishment.
  9. I think he'll come back the day after tomorrow!
  10. I agree with a great deal that's been said in this discussion. We are not the rebels here. This is the majority of the SPL clubs, not the minority, and I sincerely hope that they have the balls to at last stand up to these two parasites, who are only their to look after their own interests and nobody else's. I also agree that if they want to go to any other other league, we should hold the door open for them. Our league would then become more competative with teams of similar budgets and in the longer term crowds would likely increase.
  11. Ok I go back a few years, as will be seen by my list. 1. Charlie Aitken 2. Andy Weir 3. Bert McCann 4. Willie Hunter 5. Ian St John 6. Pat Quinn 7. Bobby Roberts 8. Joe McBride 9. Dixie Deans 10. Davie Cooper 11. Bobby Graham 12. Willie Pettigrew 13. Seib Dykstra 14. Joe Wark 15. Dougie Arnott 16. Luc Nyholt 17. Tom Boyd 18. James McFadden 19. Phil O'Donnell 20. Tommy Coyne Quite a mix there but all wonderful players, with Charlie Aitken being my personal favourite.
  12. I'm up for contributing as well. Get the rules and amounts sorted and lets get what money we can into the pot.
  13. Think the point made about Templeton/ Hateley is very important. Those of us who went to Tynecastle saw Hateley have the worst game I've seen him play. Never made a tackle all game, and all our problems came from that side. So Hateley to put him in row Z of the POD stand early on, and I see us winning this game, because that was the difference last time + we didn't have Ojamaa. So excited but positive about the game.
  14. We have to back this. I know it will be hard for some folk, but there is the option to pay it up. This is probably the one chance we'll get to secure the future of our great club, and we have to take it. I have already joined. I don't want the club to get into the hands of someone who is waiting for the markets to recover, and then cashing in by selling Fir Park to Tesco's or something. So let's do what we can to find some level of membership to secure our club's future.
  15. Keith Lasley's tackling was brilliant throughout the game, and while Ojamaa was excellent again as was Randolph. keith for me.
  16. I look at all the comments in this post. Everyone saying it's not Higdon's fault. it's the tactics. We've been saying for months that he doesn't get the support he needs etc etc. Well, if we can see that, how come the manager can't!
  17. I'm really happy about our position in the league, and the possibility of perhaps European football. But I would I rather it had been acheived by winning at home rather than away. The majority of our fans haven't seen how we played against Dundee Utd or Hibs away, and that could be why so many folk on here are moaning, because they are right, our home form is relegation material and has to addressed sooner rather than later.McCall has to find a way to reverse what the majority of our supporters see, our home form, which is mince.
  18. Sorry Weeyin, would like to agree with you, but I rate John Sutton a better player than Higdon. He worked for the team when he was here, and it's the same players that were around then, that are here now.
  19. Yes let's use it for someone up front. Noticed John Sutton played against Hibs and contributed to two of their goals. Pity, I did hope we might somehow get him back, but probably unlikely now.

    Hearts

    I think we have to put the fans on the list. the players were second to every lose ball, but the fans were second to none. Well done guys.
  21. I don't think Jennings will appeal this ban. Does it not seem strange that Jennings didn't play at this time last year, due to being sent off, so he had Christmas at home. Maybe he's at it again.
  22. OK If what you say is right about standing in a seated area, why is the law not upheld for everybody. Why are the Mould Firm allowed to do what they like and stand at every ground they go to. If it's the law it applies to everyone!
  23. If Stuart McCall is reading this, he would be well advised to look at the list of managers, who have left for supposed better things. With the exception of the first two, Billy Davies and Alex McLeish, they have found that the grass is not always greener elsewhere.
