All the feedback I heard about Watt was in regard to his attitude, not his talent. If he has sorted that out, fair play to him - we could have a player on our hands.

We have academy players out on loan - presumably with a view to getting them first team ready. Hastie looked like he'd be the next one to step up, although I haven't kept an eye on his recent progress. Newall didn't come through the academy, but is only 19. And Semple is supposedly the next big thing, but just a bit too young for first team development. Dom Thomas should have been ready this year, but we all know that story.

In his post match, Robinson said Hartley just cramped up from lack of training and Carson's situation was now a case of pain management - so quite possible we see them both in this one.

Our pen looked a stonewaller from my vantage point. Rose's was never a booking.

Exactly. Ultimately, it's only the player himself that knows how he feels. If the fitness tests have been passed, the sports scientist won't know if a players hamstring feels a little tight or whatever.

I saw him hold his hamstring about 30s after he came on and there was 4 mins added on. So let's split the difference and call it 40 mins. Either way, it was still a good point in the end

Ended up being a good point considering we played 43 mins or so with 10 men (as Frear was instantly crocked when he came on). Carson's save at the end was tremendous.

Wasn't that long ago it was the hefty total of points they took off us that kept them from being relegated.

Taxi for Leitch.

Maybe he's taking over the U20s at Rangers.

I suspect it's a bit of both. One of those rare occasions where 'mutual consent' actually means what it says.

Well it may or may not be related to his recent conviction for assaulting a taxi driver.

I'd only be interested in that kind of loan if there was a serious possibility of a permanent signing at the end of it.

A significant number of seats in the East Stand are reserved by season ticket holders, so that limits where others can go.

I vote not doing anything. It's just fine as it is.

The fence was a recent addition. It used to be a gap - distance maintained by police dogs.

When I googled "trial motherwell" I got the story about Scott Letich being fined 1300 quid in November for a fracas with a taxi driver

Ally MacLeod was the carpet expert I seem to recall. His adverts were worse than our performance against Iran.

I'll be at this one, so we'll most likely lose. Sorry. It's been years since I saw us win at Fir Park, or even pick up a point. I've seen us win away as recently as the Accies game in May, but I think the last time I saw us win at Fir Park, Tommy Coyne was playing! Fingers crossed for a change of fortune.

Based on the last few results our priority needs to be a backup, or if he leaves - a replacement, for Hartley.

I think we'll call him "the answer to a 2025 motherwell quiz night question that only Peter Elder got right"

Maybe.... Then there's the "Airdrie" fan that runs the PR machine at Ibrox. It's no coincidence that guys like Ian Archer (Partick Thistle fan), Richard Park (Raith Rovers fan) and the guys on Off the Ball (to name a few) offer a much more entertaining view on things. Partly because they are biased towards their own clubs, and partly because they are open about it.

I actually don't mind Willie Miller. I'm much happier to listen to someone who is open about their allegiances - then you can judge it for what it is. Much worse are the pundits who pretend they support less fashionable teams then spout OF-love repeatedly.

Would be madness to break our financial model because it has started to work. This is what is supposed to happen.
