I bought Pat’s book and I thought it was an excellent read . Each to their own opinion of course . As much as John Boyle had the best of intentions he had to be talked out of some crazy ideas on plenty of occasions Some things in it I would never have thought at the time were going on behind the scenes at Fir Park , new issues popping up on a regular almost daily basis . Billy Davies also sounded like one difficult character to work with , would have left sooner if it wasn’t for Nevin backing him as plenty of others at the club had seemingly had enough

No reason why u should

For anyone interested in reading our ex players books etc I just finished reading Shaun Teale’s book released last year Here there and Everywhere Not too much Well related of course, Maybe 10 pages or so but a very good book in general

Drubbing for Aberdeen tonight , cue the usual Gers fan’s comments that Aberdeen always lie down to them despite it being a chance for the Dons to win silverware Now only us and the gruesome twosome left , despite their poor form recently I still heard a few of them confident of winning tomorrow 🤞 hopefully a win and worry about the final once we are there

Interesting to hear Kris Boyd earlier claiming Rangers fans won’t want to win on Sunday I don’t believe this p*sh tbh but on the other hand this semi final has a similar feel to the 2017 game which finished off another manager Need to get in about this mob and see what happens

Absolutely does , I had a feeling there was potential for 22/23 and 23/24 when we went on long runs without a win and was hoping that was not the case Better team now of course

2-1 yaaasssss Brilliant 3 points , well chuffed We all going to Hampden

Doesn’t feel that long ago either tbh We have obviously been very competitive with Stuart Kettlewell home and away against the Tic Not expecting anything tomorrow of course , but hopefully the midweek Euro game will have tired them out a bit

Really hoping we give this mob a game tomorrow, anyone on Motherwell’s Facebook page will have seen videos of the 2-1 and 3-1 victories in 2013. A certain Simon Ramsden also been commenting on them . He clearly enjoyed those games Hard to believe we haven’t beaten them at Fir Park for so long

Brilliant 3 points today . I am delighted with the start to the season and also think Oxborough is a better keeper than Liam Kelly Early days of course and not getting too carried away David Gray mentioned yesterday we are a well organised team . Definitely and a hard side for others to play against which definitely wasn’t always the case in the last 5/10 years

Underdogs which hopefully will work in our favour Everybody will be predicting a Celtic v Rangers final just like they did in 2017

Absolutely buzzing after that win 🏆 Well Well Super Well

Time to cut Stuart Kettlewell a bit of slack I think Was mentioned before today’s game he has a 43% win ratio . No doubt a few people will say most were in his first 3 months , and a few cup wins against diddy teams If you then think all the draws when we could have lost , and defeats where we have still been competitive more often than not, in the recent past before this we may have lost 4,5 or 6 he has done a good job in my opinion

I think it is a positive Kettlewell and Frail signing new deals We need a bit of stability at the club after the last few years

Great 3 points , Happy Sunday Everyone Stuart Kettlewell has his doubters as every Well manager does but for me we are a harder team to beat now than we have been for a good number of years . Dominated that game 2 happy Sundays in a row now

Well all over the Jambos at the minute Have a good feeling about this , hopefully not jinxing it 🤞

Not the signing some would have hoped for but if Tony Watt scores goals he will do for me On recent evidence it is an area we will struggle this year

Poor first half display , much better second half I thought at half time a 4-1 or 5-1 was on the cards Very tough games the next two weekends, a must win against Killie for me and no excuses . Need to be getting further in cup competitions to be generating not just more revenue but excitement for the paying public

Expecting a defeat today especially with all the injuries , but strangely I think it might be a closer game today than it would be if it was played at Fir Park Our recent record against both the Glasgow mobs is better away than at home in recent seasons

Was really hoping for 3 points today very dull game that we should have won, better than the Thistle game but not too much Now I see we have a closed door game with Everton on Tuesday before playing the Rainjurs Definetly need to improve

A great day at Fir Park Hard to believe this is the last time we beat them at home , considering we used to beat them on a regular basis

Well done the Clyde 👏 👏 Always had a soft spot for the Bully Wee . Knew a Clyde fan back in the day and remember he hated Thistle and it was a proper derby to Clyde Hopefully a win on Sunday now

Tom Boyd possibly , despite being a cup winner Met the guy in Bothwell and spoke to him asking how he was , he blanked me Couldnt say the same about the likes of Owen Coyle , Michel Doesburg, Eliphas Shivute , Big Lee McCulloch to name a few

I bought the Pat Nevin book last year and was a great read . Lot of things he mentioned that people would never have known was going on behind the scenes One thing I picked up on was that wee Billy Davies who I loved as a player and was happy when he got the manager role was a very difficult person to deal with at times

Excellent business if we get over 1m for Theo Bair when you consider he had his doubters earlier in the season , myself included
