Seems the express and the daily mail are using very similar stories these days, sometimes even the same sentances. Lazy, generate a story journalism as we have all come to expect.

So you like a good atmosphere but you dont really want to contribute to it. I wasn't suggesting people standing up singing on their tod but if a small group of people in other areas of the stadium can start chants i'm sure others would follow. I sit in the section just beside the so called 'singing section' and join in with a lot of their chants so if you're up for creating an atmosphere and dont want to be on your own in whatever section, why not sit nearer the well boys and help increase the overall volume inside Fir Park.

I think the numbers in the end section at the moment are just enough to create a decent atmosphere especially with their drums. Splitting them up will not work as a) they will want to be together and b) why should all the responsibility for creating an atmosphere be with the guys who are actually making the effort. Like it or not the people in the rest of the east, the copper and POD need to take some responsibility onto themselfs if they really want a great atmosphere at FP. People shouldn't need to be treated like sheep, the well boys have done their part, now for others to do theirs. At the end of the day I would say the oversall experience of a day at the football is enhanced if everybody joins in a sing song.

I'd be well up for say an under 14's section in the east stand at the cooper end, think it would be a great idea for getting more youngsters involved in the club.

@ Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Do you never think that when you have your photo as your avatar and you abuse people directly that it might just go against you? Looks like your gonna have a very enjoyable season in front of they "arseholes"

Also want chants to be heard by the away support (when there is enough of them to justify opening the stand). Any more drums, trumpets, whatever also great for adding a more continental feel.

Just watched the highlights, the goals look even better on TV than they did at Fir Park. Great game, great performance, great goals, long may it continue.

So the home kit is released on the 28th of July but before I go out and buy it I would like to see the away kit as I may prefer that. When the home strip was shown to us on the 28th of June we were told that the away kit would be launched in the next few weeks yet we are still waiting.....

So when will the strips actually be available to buy and when will we see the away kit?

Id love to see another version of the black away top with the white band and claret and amber lining on the collar and sleeves. The old one sponsored by motorola made by pony was one of my all time favourite motherwell tops.

As am I, if that happens I expect it will have a massive impact on our season.

Grooming them for a stroking!!

If you read back, the home strip was launched on the 28th of June and at that time the statement read: - "The new PUMA 2011/2012 away kit will be showcased in the next few weeks with an early August release."

I agree with what you are saying aside from the addition of another stroker, this isn't HMFC.

I disagree. Footballers like other professional sportsmen chose to retire when they are still playing at a high level and therefor are remembered for playing at that level, why keep on playing and tarnish the reputation that you have earned over the previous years? Also, retiring from international football could be seen as a way of trying to maximise what remains of a club career or simply a choice to spend more time with family. Well done Stephen, a respectable player and person for both Motherwell and Northern Ireland.

I don't think he's not here due to lack of trying. McCall has been open about the fact he has been trying to get Gunning back.

Got to be his last season in a well jersey......

Hopefully Humphrey and Law won't need to do much tracking back with Lasley and Jenno mopping up behind them! Have to say though that Law lost the ball early on in the first half against Dumbarton around the halfway line and chased back and won back possession in the corner beside our byline.

Law is a right sided player but looked more than happy playing on the left. I was speaking to a Dumbarton fan on Saturday who is convinced that Devlin will be a regular starter for us within 6 months. Its always good to have competition so maybe Saunders could focus on his natural position of centre half although this seems to write off Hateley who I think on his day (at right back) can be a great asset to the team, especially with his set pieces. I think a few youngsters will take things up a level this season and start to make their mark. All boads well at the moment.

I agree Forbes looked ok on saturday, played some decent passes and even put in his fair share of tackles. The way the team was set up in the first half was like a 4-3-3 / 4-3-2-1 and i would expect that with a fully fit squad Forbes would be replaced by Jennings. Anyway here's hoping Nicky Law can push on and have a great season, first signs looked promising.

Better not be true, guys a dud. I've never been a fan of him, he hasn't scored a goal since early 2009!

I was impressed by Law on Saturday but as said it was low level opposition. I'm not too bothered about how many goals he scores if he's readily setting up others.

Im not overly keen on any of those designs, the black and white one is ok I suppose. I wouldn't be opposed to the claret band being at nipple level to be honest but think it may not be welcomed by some fans.

Best to get off at Dumbarton East. You dont need to get the next train when you get off at Partick, they are roughly every 15 mins so time for a pint or 2 in the west end if required.

£4.40 return from central, £5 to get in, I'll be there.
