Before the season

Preferred the one in Southport when I was a wean. The nearby park had a great pitch and putt too.

Totally agree. And I like black shirts - just not anywhere near a football kit* *or Nazis.

This was bogging

I tried to buy that shirt off ebay, but turned out to be a sketchy seller that didn't deliver. I'd definitely buy that as an away kit, but like UBH says, unlikely we'd ever go with green.

I'd like that. One of my retro Adidas trefoil shirts is that colour.

I remember one game in Perth where he was having a mini snowball fight with 'Well fans during the game.

Same here. Flourescent just screams 80s Nevica to me. We all wore it. It was the 80s.

Reminded me of a stick of Blackpool Rock.

I don't know about bright pink, but if you go with the right approach, pink can work quite well like in this retro style.

I like it.

I can't form an opinion until I hear the official underboyleheating verdict.

Maybe it's had to self-isolate.

I'd choose Randolph over Ruddy purely on the basis that he was our player and Ruddy was a loaner. Goram at his best was probably better than either.

That's my point really. With an O'Donnell or a Campbell in mid, you can afford the play maker beside them. Ally Mauchlen beside Gary McAllister is another perfect example of that balance.

I think you could be right, although if we're up against Harry Kane we might need a back 6 or 7.

Generally, yes. I expect ball players to be making time for themselves, picking out passes and looking to protect the ball. When we lose possesion, I expect them to be taking up good position and making themselves available for when we win it back. I didn't care that Davie Cooper, Bobby Russell, Gary McAllister or Brian McLair never tackled or got "stuck in". A well balanced midfield has tacklers, box-to-box and play makers. It's rare to have a quality ball player that is also a midfield dynamo or a hard tackler - and even more rare that we could afford someone who is. Get someone comfortable on the ball and build a midfield to protect them and let them do their job. It's a lot easier to find players who run around and tackle than it is to find a player that always makes time for a pass and has the quality to complete it. A classic example of that balance would the the French Carré Magique of Tigana, Fernandez, Giresse and Platini.

So Dunne's done.

They also expect a ball playing midfielder to be a hard tackling, back tracking, box-to-box dynamo.

Mulgrew is 17th choice for the Celtic job, so we'd need to wait until next Friday to make sure he's not taking over at Parkhead.

Leeann Dempster back tae haunt us.

How Motherwell FC reported it: How it was reported in the Daily Record: Keep moving along. No Old Firm bias to see here.

That's still a negotiation, though, that's usually separate from the mass release of players at the end of their contracts. Personally I think they'd be mad to let him go after he proved his quality at Premiership level, but of course, it's often the change of club that makes the difference.

Roberts still has a year left on his contract, so unlikely he would be part of the general clear-out. Negotiation required - if we want him back.

I see Ross Maciver has signed a one year deal with Partick Thistle after his loan there last season.
