Senegalese International with 26 caps so far, has played at a high level In recent years, so good experience looks like a promising bit of business, we've needed a left back for a few years now so hopefully he does well.

He's 16, just had his debut 1st team goal it's a good start and he shows promise but for me it's Still a bit early to label him as " Real quality in the team" only time and an extended run in the team will determine that, I hope we have him on a decent contract.

In all honesty mate have a look at yourself all this linking a football strip to a symbol of a bigoted sectarian organisation is garbage and does you no favours, best to leave all that shite to the morons on kerrydale St and whatever the blue equivalent is.

2-0 it should have been more but the result was never in any doubt a great start to the league cup campaign. The opposition was poor but we looked comfortable the whole game, even though the stream was shocking. A good day at the office onwards and upwards.

Elgin have a feckin cheek charging £10 for ppv like that, shite coverage no commentary, you get a better view with someone in the crowd livestreaming the game

The Bois in block E obviously don't know that those small flags they keep waving are claret and Orange.

I dont think Casey has been sitting on his butt on a sun lounger eating and drinking too much, he will have been training somewhere and would be ready to play if he comes back or moves to another club if thats the case.

That's fair comment re signing the new contract and we would still be where we are now, but it still should have been offered, recognising potential in our Academy players and maximising the fees generated when they inevitably move on is something we have not been particularly good at over the years, except maybe Turnbull. It's something the club could improve on, but I get the impression that the current board are not as financially astute as they could be on matters like that.

Just been listening to SK on the Scottish football podcast and he as good as said not offering Johnston a new contract before he was sent out on loan to Cove was a big mistake, by the previous management regime, before there was any interest in the player that would have protected the clubs investment. I hope the people running the club now are learning from all of these expensive mistakes we seem to keep making.

Balmer is only 22 but been playing at a decent level since he was 16, good experience 115 appearances for Ballymena and Larne according to Wikipedia with 11 goals, so sounds like a good prospect. I hope we can get a deal done, if the rumours are true.

Every player we sign is a gamble, this one did not work out, he contributed feck all and wont be missed, good that we have moved him on quickly.

Or maybe the job and package on offer is not attractive enough for an experienced CEO, maybe that's how we ended up with Burrows he was already at the club and a nice cheap option. For me it's the governance of the club that's the problem, run by well meaning amateurs.

Watched that today, the Aussies blew it and let England win by 3 wickets, thats them world beaters again.

Agreed, he was as slow as a week in the jail he won't be missed

The only "sure thing" we have is Steelboy the forum Troll ,trashing and writing off every new signing before they have kicked a ball.

As I have said before, every striker we sign, with a couple of exceptions ie Skippy and Faddy the 2nd time round is a punt, Wilkinson will be no different. Time will tell if its a good or bad signing any previous stats are irrelevant, so let's wait and see how he performs before judging him.

I would be happy with a top 6 finish as long as its not 6th, a shot at a European place would be nice.

Correct, typo on my part, Motherwell scoring 6 goals put me off 😁

Finished 6-0, Slattery(3) Ferrie(2) and Tierney (1)

It was desperate wasn't it, but strangely in keeping with the quality of players being described. How sad do you need to be to make videos like that, I mean who the feck cares.

I'd rather be away to Dundee 1st game than playing the ugly sisters home or away, good chance of a win and getting off to a good start. Let's be honest Dundee will be favourites for relegation or the playoffs, so for me it's a good start.

That goes for me as well probably my favourite well goal ever

People need a reality check when it comes to signings for Motherwell we are never going to sign an experienced proven goal scorer in his prime as they are rarely if never available and if they are we can't afford them. We will sign someone at the business end of the transfer window and take a punt on a free agent or somebody nobody else is in for as we did for Higdon, KVV, Tony Watt, etc etc. So why not Fletcher if he wants to come for what we are offering a proven goal scorer, good experience so nothing ventured nothing gained.

Why? He's an experienced player who's played the vast majority of his career at a decent level, ok he's 36 but I reckon we could get another 2 years out of him if he stays fit, he a punt as are all the strikers we sign but he has at least some pedigree, which was more than KVV had when he arrived. If we can get him to sign on a wage that suits our budget, ie not a lot then it could be a good move. Some good experience up front to help Obika, Efford, possibly Shields if he stays

Is it the the lad Fowler from Beith we are giving a trial to?
