All of these with the exception of top 2 are good. The pony one is my favourite. Its like a retro Andy Paton shirt.

Nothing in that kit to associate it with Motherwell. Its basically a black training kit with a Motherwell badge on it. Change the badge and it could belong to anyone. Poor effort. Any sort of claret and amber trim would be a huge improvement. After the silver and petrol blue kits this is an extreme disappointment.

Henrik. Better workrate and more consistency.

Ok the use of the word "disgrace" was maybe too strong. Much in the same way that the use of the words "crisis" and "disaster" in a sporting context are very rarely appropriate, yet as football fans we use them all the time. You are probably correct in that Celtic would have to have agreed to a redistribution of their prize money, and that was never going to happen. The other clubs would have viewed it that "the Rangers money" was never coming to them anyway so redisrtibuting that would mean everyone getting a little extra as opposed to one team getting a lot. Pretty easy to get everyone to agree too. The clubs SHOULD however, have taken this opportunity to redistribute 1st place for next year and should NOT be excused for having failed to do so. If Celtic truly want stronger competition as they claim, then financial re-distribution is essential to not only strengthen the challenge of the other SPL clubs but also the foundations of the league underneath. The difference in finance involved would be a small fraction of their overall income, but it would be massive for everyone else. Unfortunately I dont think Celtic are that serious about increased competition and the other clubs are too scared to take them on.

All the non OF clubs have already agreed to spread the 2nd place money to reduce the impact of the "lost Rangers revenue". Given that none of the clubs knew at that time where they would finish up it was probably a sensible and fair decision. Its a kicker now that it looks like we might get 2nd but not as big a disgrace as not taking Celtic on to redistribute some of their share. It should be looked at again with these new proposals. But I bet it wont.

Certainly appears far more sensible than the original proposals. Heres hoping we can get a decent tv deal with more regular k/o times that might allow us to lower admission costs and drive up attendances...... Ok. Maybe I took that too far!

I would prefer that ICT win their game so it gives our game more of an edge and we need the point to get over the line. Would make for a better atmosphere for our last home game of what has been a great season. I would play Higginbottom on the left and push Faddy through the middle and go for it. We need to try and get Higgy over the 30 mark. Only 3 to go!

No reason to doubt what you say Jo. Really hope it is just a case of handbags. The big man is better than that. Glad to hear his team mates stepped in to diffuse the situation.

Very disappointing and takes some of the shine off of the award. Can only hope there have been mitigating factors. Sure the full story will emerge in due course.

Voted player of the year by his fellow professionals? Dont they realise all he does is score goals! Michael Higdons havin' a party...... Well done big chap!

Went for Faddy for the 2 goals and 2nd half performance. Although Henrik wouldve got my vote w/o the red card. How much he was to blame Im not sure. Be interested to see both incidents again.

Was a great day out yesterday. Thanks to Suzy for organising the bus! The first half was a poor performance. The kind we put in more regularly near the beginning if the season so its still in there. Couldnt make my mind up as to whether it was as a result of tactics or just too many players having an off day at the one time. To single Faddy out is harsh. Second half was a different story and could only see one result until the sending off. Will reserve criticism of Henrik until Ive seen the highlights. Thought their pen was soft at best and a bit of a dive but would like to see it again especially given Henriks first yellow. A little deflated not to get the point we deserved to clinch 2nd but have left games feeling a helluva lot worse. Next week.

The club should play hardball. With the amount of out of contracters likely to leave, taking pressure off the wage bill, we should not be letting a contacted asset leave at a pittance. £1 million please. Then you may have our attention!

I have to confess, I was a lapsed Well fan living in Ayrshire. With a young family, it was just too easy to find reasons not to make the journey up to Fir Park every second week. However, I made a conscious decision at the start of the season that I was going to start going back to games and I have been to about 10 home games and both games at Rugby Park. Going to Inverness today. There must be others surely? I realise attendances havent been good this season, but I would be interested to see the figures split into home and away fans. The club reported an increase in season ticket sales and I have no reason to doubt that. Is it not more likely that it is the away supports that have collapsed? there certainly appear to have been some poor away supports at the games I have been at. Not surprising right enough with some of the scheduling for live games.

That would certainly seem like good business. Makes more sense than letting his contract run down.

Lol! Loved that top! Not sure it stands the test of time though. Has 90's written all over it!

May he remain the Sheriff of our one horse town for a very long time! Well done Henrik.

I agree with your second paragraph. Just felt he had been left exposed a few times this season causing him to make some rash decisions. Not his fault. He is learning as you say. I guess my surprise was that I felt he had been better last season. But then he was playing alongside a couple of older heads. No surprise that he has settled down now that Ramsden has had a run and is now looking more solid. Looking at it from the other angle though, I can see why strikers would vote for him. You would know youd been in a game.

Any idea of the numbers going up to this game. First away game outwith Kilmarnock for some time, so hoping for a good turnout to enhance the awayday experience. Surely at 3pm on a Sat with 2nd place within our grasp we can take a decent number? As for predictions. Not going to jinx us.

It should be made integral to the new UEFA coaching badges.....no wait, that would make everyone as good as us. Shhhhh!

If we are gaving to cut our budget given our relative success then just think what kind of shape the rest of the league must be in. We run a tight ship. No real debt. Cant see many of our players ending up at other Scottish clubs. If we shop well then I think we can maintain our position.

And to think we didnt need to spend a penny! He couldve saved himself £11 million!

Was going to say I was surprised about Hutchinson but then you go throught the other teams and it would be difficult to identify another centre half who had a better season. The other 3 were stick ons. Great recognition for a great season.

Indeed. I remember one Scottish Cup tie at Tynecastle. The club had put on free buses so there was a big Motherwell support. We were 3 down by half time and soaked to the skin. The only real entertainment were the Caley fans whose game had been cancelled and decided to go to ours instead. Never stopped singing for 90 minutes!

Remember when we used to always lose in Edinburgh.......
