Why no minute's silence/applause then?

It's one of the most important appointments in recent years, given the on the park transition the new man will need to oversee as we eventually move on from the Lasley/Hammell/McManus era. Can't afford to get this wrong...

Good interview with Johnny Gahagan on the wing in the Herald today - http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/14962126.The_big_interview__John_Gahagan_on_football__filthy_jokes_and_life_on_the_after_dinner_circuit/?ref=rss

Anyone taken the plunge with one of these? https://retroshirtcity.com/collections/featured-products/products/motherwell-1980-82-home-shirt

He did get a shout - could clearly hear Samson shouted "away" from where I was in the Main Stand, when the keeper should have been best placed of all to see the Accies player had slipped so Tait had time.

"He's only on loan..."

That's them on Twitter and the 'fishel now... http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2016/07/08/new-201617-macron-home-third-kit/

Bit of a rep as a diver - heard he can't stand up for falling down...

Probably nonsense, but heard a bit of chat when leaving on Saturday that his absence from the team since the Aberdeen game relates to him not committing to a new deal. Agent has some other clubs interested apparently, Hibs were mentioned.

This was cracking and well worth a listen via the podcast. Mainly cup run focussed but a couple of other nuggets in there too, eg Kirkie wanting to replace an injured John Gardiner in goals in the 86 Skol Cup semi for the penalties. If only he had!

Don't disagree, but I really wouldn't have fancied our chances last year had it been Hibs and not Rangers that we faced over 2 legs.

Hard to argue it was anything beyond sentiment - he could barely run that day.

Angol only exists to make Joe Chalmers feel better about himself, or maybe it's the other way round...

Any feedback from the AGM last night? I wasn't able to get away from work in time to attend.

Ah - missed that at the time. Nice one.

The Crystal Palace away kit on display tonight is another macron template which I reckon would look good as a white/c&a away kit.

At least we'll still be the Cup come Christmas this time.

Just seen the pics of the panel - Andy Warhol lives!

Guessing his track record for working with an existing backroom team as opposed to making wholesale changes would appeal to the club given the overhaul behind the scenes this year.

I'd credit Stewart Robertson in that context as much as Boyle.

I'd add St Mirren at home to that list. But that 5-0 win was then followed up by one of the most dismal performances you're likely to see in the return at their place post split.

Far from impressive at Hibs? Left them in the top 6. Hibs was/is a bit of a basket case of a club. My worry when I read last night about his Hibs days was the propensity to fire long balls up to Fletcher but that would be in stark contrast to the decent stuff his Killie side played.

Chick is still massively hurting from the play offs. Poor soul.

Mixu Paatelainan has just left the Finland job...Killie fans at my work still rave about his (admittedly short) time with them.
