Wonder why SK finally cracked and brought in a winger? For whatever reason, it's welcome, since we were one-dimensional and predictable. Now we've just got to work on the forwards getting on the end of crosses.....

"You just wouldn't let it go, would you?" 😱

Was sitting a few seats along from Jack and Nicholson.

If Watt starts scoring for us most fans will forget his history in a few nano-seconds but it does smack a bit of a desperate/high-risk manoeuvre by the manager (does this mean Stama is badly injured?). Some of our support seem reluctant to accept players almost always sign for the best deal they can get and few will have the love/commitment to the club that a 'Well fan has. Frankly, given our injury list and the generally disappointing newbies so far, I would sign Vlad the Impaler if he could start knocking in the goals/linking up play/winning fouls by brazenly falling over, as TW did last time. And as a few have said already, he must have cojones to come back here at all but I'm hoping his gallus nature may be an asset and he may even become influential for us. I find it hard to believe that SK (whatever you may think of him) would invite a stirrer or Big Time Charlie into the dressing room. He's got enough problems already, frankly, so I'm hoping he and TW have come to an understanding. 'Mon The 'Well 🙏 .

Struggling to find any reasons for optimism tomorrow. I suspect The Ox and Liam Gordon will be asignificant upgrade on last season but injuries and (so far) ineffectual newbies are a worry already. Whatever your views on Blaney that tackle by White from the side looked malicious to me in the POD and in general the referee allowed RC to "express their physicality" freely, not just against our front two but against Lennon Miller in particular. A point tomorrow would feel like an achievement. So: hat-trick for Apostolos? May The Force be with us.....

Wilson so much better today and seems to be finding his feet. Maybe he has pace after all and is gradually becoming more confident.

Hope this signing doesn't boomerang on us but i wish him 'Well. Has to be The Apostle for the back of the jersey. "Ap Stam" might end up falling out with the manager. Onnyhoo, may The Force be with him.

Kettlewell rarely reacts like this so I did wonder. I do recall a MacKay late challenge but wondered if he had shouldered one of ours dangerously near the wall below the main stand since the incident kicked off below me there but I couldn't see clearly. Fanks onnyhoo.

Pretty much how I saw it. We were disjointed and lacked any creativity. We missed a Furlong/ Georgy Gent WB to give us width and pace and at the moment Wilson is not capable of doing that. And if pace can't be coached, then.......... BTW, any idea what Thistle's MacKay did or said to provoke such a reaction from Kettlewell? Thought the latter was going to banjo him at one point.

And IIRC Tommy knocked back Celtic's attempts to resign him when he was knocking them in for us. Loved his vintage step-overs for us as well as his goals.

Hard to think of anyone displacing Boyd in the Inventory of Infamy but a minor addition there might be Kallum (sic) Higginbotham, whom I seem to remember had some uncomplimentary things to say about us and was at the wind-up on one of his returns to Fir Park. Pity because he scored a cracker of a goal when on loan here.

I could never say that of an EK bus member of old, when we filled a 72 seater every week 🤣. #Blyth The Driver Was God.

Your humour is timeless 🤣.

Some really good finishing and assists: sorry to see him go. Didn't we get £100,000 for him?

That may be true but Alan turns up in the POD quite regularly to support The 'Well.

Nice to see the old above-the-hoop numbers making a comeback.

Yes, I remember that one. Not bad at all if you forget all the other historical options.

Oh, yes. Been a great seven days for me: intimate prostate examination last week (ooh, matron!), root canal treatment begun yesterday but eventually (winces) abandoned in favour of an extraction and today I have to thole this crapola. As Renton almost said, "It's shite being a "Well fan!" 😱. Ahoo! Werewolves of London!

Well, at least I got my hands on a proper MFC jersey last season. Cheap-looking and the white stripe just makes it worse. The ancient yoke strip was abandoned for obvious reaons but if you had to ditch the hoop or even advertising band I could have lived with C&A stripes for a season, which we wore in the early 20s. Was some interior designer with blue specs hired at great expense to troll the club's identity? That is all, short of a lot of swearing, e.g. hooring fuck.

Never heard of The Multiverse? 😂

That long-range effort will never be forgotten......

Thanks for going to the trouble of totting the MoTMs al up. Gent certainly gave us some real attacking options in the absence of a winger. Pity he's unlikely to return on loan or as a signed player. I suspect Lennon Miller might have given him a run for his money if he hadn't been absent for over a month with his injury.

Yes, back when we pretty much copied Bradford City's jerseys until we introduced the hoop a few seasons later. It's a great strip that but BC have been guilty of producing some pretty horrible strip designs when they could have stuck with that one with a few adjustments from time to time. Mind you, you could say the same about us 😱.

Yes, you can see the full story here: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Motherwell/Motherwell.htm I rather like the black socks with c&a turn-overs from the early 50s but I don't think they'll make a comeback, unfortunately.

Quite right but I think that may have influenced the reduction of the hoop to a bar at the front of the jersey, despite the fact we were unlikely to compete in the later stages of any European competition.
