A fit and focused Ciftci would be an asset to our team no question. Im happy to back Robbo's judgement as to whether he can get him that way. If he does a 1 year deal with extension options if he produces the goods would protect us a little.

I quite like it. Id even take that as a home kit. Just imagine that our hoop/band is very broad! What about white with claret sleeves and a claret shadow print like our 90s Hummel away top?

Hearts apparently going for the synthetic/grass hybrid next season. Be interesting to see how that compares.

UBH Can you fix that one up?

He also had 3/4 sublime first touches when the ball came at him out of the sky and he took it right in his stride. Unfortunately none of these came to anything but it did allow us to get further up the pitch and alleviate some of the pressure we were under. The big man puts in a power of work. Just a shame he does all his best work outside the box.

Campbell for me. Was the only player first half harrying and snapping into tackles the way I had hoped the whole team would. Thought Bowman played well. Had 3/4 fantastic take downs from the long ball to get it under control and drag us up the pitch. Bigi did play well when he came on and if that free kick had gone in he might have edged it but just wasnt on long enough for me.

1. Check 2. Still room for improvement. 3. Check. Check. 4. Check. 5. Check. Get working on No.2 Mr Robinson. Apart from that same again please.

Delighted for Cadds. Hopefully the first of many young Motherwell players picked for Scotland in the next few years.

Sometimes crazy shit happens. We can but hope this is one of those times.....

4 tickets have been taken. Only 1 left if its any use to anyone.

Fantastic Andy. Tear in the eye. Imagine. Believe.

I have 5 spare tickets for The Shed. They are free of charge. Party is 11am - 2pm Kids welcome. If anyone wants them PM me and I can make arrangements.

A playlist would be fantastic. Need to be a double / treble busting album though.....

Absolutely top class offerings this week Andy! Thoroughly enjoyed every one. Brings into focus what it is that is so special about our wee diddy football club. Its the people, plain and simple. Hammy, Maxi, Robbo, all absolute class acts. As a post script, really enjoyed all the music at the end of each podcast this week and in general. Ever thought about doing a compilation CD? Not sure how the logistics would work with copyright etc but it could be a good wee fundraiser for the Well Society or a suitably chosen charity? Just a thought.

Couple of great offerings already this week lads. Interview with Hammy was excellent. Comes across as a really great guy with a clear vision of what he wants to do with the youth set up. Still to listen to the Ally Maxwell one and really looking forward to the Robbo interview Tuesday night. Keep up the good work. Up the Well!

Corona at Shawlands Cross (now called The Butterfly and Pig) should take Well fans. Its next door to The Shed where the Motherwell fan party is. The Ivory Hotel is decent en route to Church on the Hill. I would avoid Armstrongs on Battlefield Rd. Its good for Scotland games but its a Celtic shop so not sure what kinda welcome youd get. Clockwork is great but as you know from experience it will be rammed early doors.

He also conveniently ignores that Scott Brown dishes out plenty.

Aye over last 10 years its a fair enough comment. I was thinking more about the current criticism of our club and comparing who they currently have in their first team. No doubt Celtic and Rogers in particular have been good for the national team. Hopefully our academy boys will develop and prove to be equally important.

Sorry. Just ignore. Went back to beginning of thread where it says this is part of plan for next season!

Good to hear about all the improvements being planned by the club. Im sure a lot of this has been made possible by our cup runs and the uptake in the Well Society, so it keeps the positivity and feelgood factor going into next season. I may have missed it, but has an upgrade of the PA system been confirmed? Couldnt hear a word Robbo was saying yesterday in the Hunter at end of the game. Just another wee thing that would improve the matchday experience.

Not normally one to defend Celtic but its hard to argue that Scots havent been integral in their recent successes. Their players are also integral to the national team...... Gordon, Bain, Tierney, Hendrie, Brown, Armstrong, McGregor, Forrest, Griffiths

We have had a very positive finish to the season ( St Johnstone game aside). We now have a clear week to mend any minor injuries and focus on the final. I think we should take consolation in the fact that this team has risen to the occasion for big games on every time of asking this season. I have no fear that we will bottle it. As long as everyone is fit and we get a fair shake of the dice from the officials, we have every right to be confident. Believe. Time for new heroes!

I think Aldred would want to. His performances would indicate that. Whether we could afford to keep him is a different matter....

Ciftci had a great game and looked much more comfortable as a loan striker with his back to goal holding things up. He is not the kind to run in behind so today suited him. Grimshaw was still MoTM though.

I thought Hendrie actually had quite a good game today. He is one that with a proper pre season could be a decent squad player. However not sure he is worth the investment as he will just block off a space forva development player. Demi Id get rid off. He has had lots of chances off the bench and Ive not seen anything to suggest he can offer anything. Plummer will be gone. Id do everything we can to keep Aldred. He has been fantastic. We have to accrpt that Cedric could be gone next year so he would be a ready made replacement with Hartley back in the fold and Maguire as back up.
