I have no doubt the banners were well intended, but the days of clubs retaining players for years to develop a "passion for the badge" as they put it are long gone. As has been stated in another thread our squad is full of journey men players here for a year or two then moving on "pride and professionalism" would be a better slogan. But that said fair play to the block E lads, if nothing else it shows how the supporters are thinking just now.

Twitter is the social media platform of choice for absolute roasters and arseholes, it's best avoided and ignored.

Spot on re KVV, selfish and lazy for me, yes he has scored a few goals and yes we would be a lot worse off without him, but he's been anonymous in games for months now, no tracking back, he won't put in that extra bit of effort to chase a ball, and generally gives the impression of someone that wants to be elsewhere. Irrespective of what system if any SH is trying and failing to implement, the position we are in we need players to fight for every ball, give 110% etc to give us a chance and for me KVV is not interested.

Totally agree with you Dave but I'll be surprised if it happens the people running the club are part of the problem. They never acted quick enough to get rid of Alexander, and compounded that by giving him a ridiculous contract extension which ultimately cost the club financially. Then they took the no work required, cheap and easy option to appoint SH another big mistake, sanctioned very poor recruitment to bring in the likes of Morris, Aarons, Moult, Ohjala, Solholm so since December 22 the club has been in freefall. The situation we are in now is salvageable, 15 games and 45 points to play for but only if we get an experienced manager in ASAP to get the squad playing. But for me the Current board seem equally as clueless as Hammell and if they don't man up and act now we are heading for championship football next season.

There was no need for the full stop and space after the T

I'm sure I read somewhere that we made enquires about the availability of Yosuke Ideguche at Celtic for a loan deal as he's not getting much game time. No idea if it's true but given Postecoglu's alleged involvement alerting SH to Danzaki it could be possible.

According to STV news, we are trying to bring in another 2 players tonight, no clues as to who they are.

Hmmmm I can see him coming back, tbf if he does and scores a few goals etc and we avoid the bottom 2 places then nobody will care what went on previously. At this stage of the season we need to take a punt as the squad is severely lacking in goal scoring threat, so why not bring Watt back in.

He's made a lot of cash over the years Dave conning teams into thinking he's a good player to get lucrative contracts and signing on fees, then moving on when they find out he's brutal, all based on one goal against Barcelona 10 years ago, good work if you can get it.

All joking aside, the squad is paper thin just now, no cover available, that's why Johansen has been playing. So yes we may get a few quid for him but letting him go with no replacement lined up is not good business. That said if the financial issues are as bad as has been suggested the board will take the cash.

I agree with you but for me that's down to the club being as badly managed off the field as it is on it. SH should never have been appointed in the 1st place no previous managerial experience but he was the cheap easy option. Sticking with Hammell will get us relegated as it is obvious he has no idea how to turn things round, add this to Burrows leaving, suggestions of financial issues and the club has big problems. For me it's vital that we get an experienced manager in ASAP to turn things round and keep us up this year as going down, and all the issues that brings could be a disaster for the club longer term. But given the apparent unstabillity in the boardroom, possible financial problems etc I have no confidence that the board will make the changes needed in time.

Be careful telling the truth about KVV, ie he's the laziest player I've seen in years gets you shouted at by some on here.

Maybe next weekend he be pictured with a well scarf round his neck at Fir Park 😀

It's like talking to Grandpa Simpson with you, last post was a million pounds on VAR, Lamie being denied a penalty and now its the pitch being blamed for us being shite 🤦‍♂️

Wtf has that got to do with us being utter shite today?

Agree with that, it was one of the main concerns I had when the when the well society was being set up. We now have limited fan ownership and an input to the club which is great, but there is obviously not enough money coming in from that source to assist the club as they wanted to.

Looking for a rich millionaire or company with money to spare to come in and fund the club, does that imply that the Well society and the fan ownership initiative might not be as successful as the club had hoped. 🤔

No it's not, yes there are a few of the Darvel team that have played for league teams but they are part time and at Darvel because they were not good enough to play at a higher level and make a living solely as a pro footballer the WOS premier league is their level.

Let's be honest there is no way premiershipship sides should be losing to non league part time teams, Darvel rode their luck last night, a big deflection for their goal, an Aberdeen goal flagged offside, when Clarkson was a yard on, combined with Aberdeen being embarrassingly bad gave them the result. As we saw ourselves against Sligo if your attitude on the day is as bad as your play then you get nothing, this applies to any team you play, not just the lower and non league teams.

Craig Moore just came on as a sub for Darvel against Aberdeen in the cup, Darvel currently 1-0 up 76 mins played.

Draw at 6pm tonight, number 5 at Fir park is the ideal Draw.

TO be fair you've probably has a better chance of winning the lottery than seeing a Motherwell win in the last 12 months, as you say let's hope the goals keep coming and lottery of the new signings pays off.

Is that not what we have all been wishing for recently?
