They're missing the retinal rods and cones that humans need to see colour.

Motherwell TV?

I'm surprised at that. Not at the lack of 'Well supporters, but lack of Accies. There was a small core of 'Well fans when I was there, but I knew about 20 Accies fans personally in my year. We all used to head down to Douglas Park together for the derby games (the few seasons that we had any).

Wonder if Leighton will end up at Fir Park. Would be happy to have him join the payroll.

And George Cumming, SPL Ref, Chairman of the FIFA Referee's Committee etc. etc. was my geography teacher.

Aye, Cooper always struck me as a great player who played at Motherwell towards the end of his career. He obviously made a significant contribution, but he's much more closely associated in my mind with Rangers and Clydebank. Wullie P, Joe Wark and the like are the names that lay claim to Greatest Motherwell Player. I can see why other Motherwell fans would vote for Coop though.

I think what he said was that he needed his coaches to multi-task. So if Melly is only going as a goalkeeping coach then Leighton will no doubt be preparing his lawsuit.

The whole philosophy of a club like ours is to develop young players and sell them on. Some young players will see the advantage of sticking around Fir Park for a few years, some will think its better to move on sooner. Some will develop into great players, some will disappear into the lower leagues or out of the game altogether. There is no use in us worrying about who stays and who goes - you can't force anyone to sign a contract. However, there will always be others ready to take their place. Who would have thought, for example, that we would replace Quinn with the former French U-21 Captain? '

Earnock. And, no, I didn't go to school with all of them, I said they all went to my school. Derek Fergsuon was there the same time as me; a couple of years behind (and a right ned). Ally Maxwell is the same age as me, but went to a different school - which is why I only ever played against him in the BB games.

Jim Bett, the (Rangers) Ferguson clan and Stephen Wright at Aberdeen were the pick of the bunch at my school. I came up against Ally Maxwell a few times in BB competitions, although in those days he often played as a striker.

Why? He's not a 14 year old lassie.

The history books will show Motherwell 1 - 0 Manchester Utd XI. Even most non-sports fans know what an "XI" represents. Glad we got a decent workout on an off-weekend though.

Sent over 15 quid (plus a quid to cover any Paypal foreign currency conversion fees).

That might work. There is a good cross section of fans on here, we get the official club line on issues from 'Flow, and we have the option to run polls on anything and everything.

If nobody likes him why not just vote him out?

Nail. Head. End of.

Another style which includes winning the play-off final at Wembley.

Seeing as the entire exercise of relaying the pitch was to avoid a repeat of the problems we had last winter, I imagine that it will fare okay.

After all the rebuilding we have had to do, 7th would be a decent achievement this season.

He said that 'Well is 'punching above its weight'. I hate hearing that phrase. This is football - if we have talented players that play to the best of their ability we will win games. "Punching above your weight" suggests that you are performing at a higher than your talent should allow.

That's the main thing. Last time he talked about transfers he said he was going to bring in a striker and a right back, and he has delivered again.

I think the deal is they need to be signed before 5pm and have the paperwork sent to the SFA or FA before midnight. It doesn't matter if it's processed later than that.

He does indeed. Apparently he maintains a detailed list of players for each position that he uses to keep tabs on them through their playing careers.

I'm glad somebody picked up on that.
