get hateley aff before he's sent aff.

I know. Always the same. We're incapable against 10 men in recent times

Yella for Lasley. Radio says absolutely right.

there's only 50 of us there. No one will be able to hear it onyway

Jeffers equalises lol

Pretty much the management is the sole reason for the change since Christmas. No other excuses for it. Thought it was a poor appointment at the time and I still haven't seen anything to help me change my mind

good fucking work.

Fuck it. Let's get stuck into those sheep shagging cretins. If we lose by the odd goal, so be it, so long as we don't make ourselves look like idiots and bend over to them. 1 nil 'Well to a dodgy penalty, followed by 5 red cards throughout the match and Brown and McCall having a scrum at Full Time. That'll do.

Pool tables, decent tv and decent pints in the cooper suite and have it operating as a pub/members club. Open maybe 3-4 nights per week + on big games outwith those days. Potentially a wee bit of an earner, but conscious of taking business away from JD's - don't care much for the Fir Park Club myself. Football idol - fans go along to a few pre-arranged friendly matches and get a game amongst each other, have judges (coaches) there. Select an 11 out of the best lot and get them to play a wee match against maybe the reserves / under-19's or something and one or two lucky folk get to train with the club with all the gear etc for a month, and if they impress, get a chance to win a wee 6 month deal or something. Not necessarily gonna yield the next ronaldo but there are a lot of good junior/amateur players out there and you never know! Also would gain exposure in the press as a result and give a really positive vibe of the club, even if none of the players are good enough to take on necessarily. Just a couple of things i've thought of. To be honest, I think the club do a good job with the limited resources they have and the size of our support. A number of things we can rightly praise them on: 1. a first class website, probably one of the best looking and most functional in Scotland. If not even the best. 2. Away trip packages when we were in europe - professionally run, and well equipped to deal with just the right size of support there. 3. Collaborating with the trust and other groups to have things like the open forum nights. How many clubs do you know where the manager, chief exec and the like will turn up for these kind of things? 4. Open communication - on here and in other mediums. We are an SPL team. We log onto an unofficial forum. The chief exec of said club posts on here and reads a lot of the thread. That deserves a lot of credit IMO. Especially since Leeann re-iterates time and again of her open door policy with regard emails and discussions with fans. 5. The team. The team deserves a lot of credit for the way they go about their business. On and off the pitch. We are a team that tries to play football and gives opponents the respect they deserve - but not too much And our players are a credit to the club off the park in terms of doing work for charity, the community and generally behaving in the professional and polite manner we'd expect of them. 6. Youth development - a fantastic setup we have with such limited resources. Not really much more needing to be said about that. The general nags I have are more ones that are generic to Scottish football as a whole, and are something we can't really do something about without either A. a change in mentality in the game overall or B. a huge injection to our finances. Such as: 1. Ticket prices. We can't lower ours if no-one else will do the same. It'd kill us. 2. Safe standing areas - I believe the legislation may change on this in future years. 3. The stadium and pitch - Not a lot we can do about it except patch up when we need to. We simply can't afford to either rebuild fir park or move to a new stadium the way that our club and the land value's finances are at the moment. 4. Cheaper replica kit - again, seems to be standard across the board. 5. More exciting football - needs a league restructure and football association legislative changes. All in all I'd say I'm very proud to support Motherwell, and I think they deserve a lot of credit for what they do. From the players to Leeann, 'Flow, Wilma and the girls, JP etc etc. For me anyway, it seems like myself and the vast majority of people are pissed off at the football club inadvertantly due to issues outwith the club's direct control. I sincerely believe that if there was a way to significantly reduce entry prices and make the game a much more attractive prospect to us in terms of competitiveness and experience, they'd jump on it in a flash.

i'm gonna quit my day job now

Can't see anything other than a convincing 3 or more goal win for them. Sub 25k attendance as well. Of course I'm going, wouldn't miss it. But don't expect anything other than a defeat.

there was a very brief running battle at the roundabout next to the new century, and i happened to get caught up in the middle of it. Must've been about 30 or more involved. They had hammers and flares and all sorts. Tubes.

Grella has also played for two clubs already this season... don't see how he can play for us?

Hammell is the last person I can remember paying a transfer fee for - that we heard about. Of course, not including compo for youth players.

Can only echo the sentiments above really. Cup games and the very occasional league game for me if this goes through. I'd rather spend my time and money going to watch a junior team or just going to the pub.

Tell that prick doncaster to go take a flying shite at himself

Awful game and poor performance not helped by the conditions and the pitch which looks like it's steadily heading back to it's normal condition. Thought Hutchinson was decent and composed bar one or two little slips and looks like he's potentially a good player to fill Reynolds' boots. Far too many wayward passes today and players with an elephant touch. Hateley has been pants all season and I'm sorry, but I can't bite my tongue any longer... Forbes is simply an imposter of a sportsman/footballer. Sooner we get him replaced/oot the door, the better.

Don't bank on it. £150k - allegedly - from Reynolds Blackman, Gow, Fitzy and possibly soon Casagolda off the wage bill. We'll probably spend all that money on getting the loan of Father Dougal MaGuire for the rest of the season I can see this turning out to be a rip roaring c**t of a season after such a promising start. Just hope we can make some kind of impact in one of the cups to make amends. Fingers crossed I'm completely wrong though.

Yip, mine too. Best wishes to the family.

Porter and McCulloch... no brainers. The rest... not so much. Would love Don Goodman back though

No way it's gonna happen even if we could afford a transfer fee. Why would Griffiths want to come to Motherwell? It wouldn't make sense for the lad.

For once I'm inclined to agree with you Anyways, would be disappointed if Blackman does go to Aberdeen, but it was always likely to happen. I'm more concerned at the overall state of our club and national game at the moment. We always have players come and go, but we don't always have a potential for such a devastating change to the long term viability of our game. P.S mon the East Fife!!! His big brother certainly did anyway, was in the same class as me at Cathedral.

Fill yer boots Not that it'll make much difference

I'm already fed up with the game in Scotland - all the way from the national game, through league set up and referreeing. This might just be the straw that breaks the camels back for me.
