His jobs not to be KVV though. He is more Ryan Bowman or Obika. Our problem was that Robbo thought he was Louis Moult!

Been to East Fife and QoS. Elgin and Queens Park please!

Blaney has only had a handful of games. Far too early to be calling time on his Motherwell career. Let him get a full pre season under Kettlewell and see where he is by xmas.

The question is why you would even want to replace Cornelius on our budget. The boy is Motherwell thru and thru. If he is the kinda player you need you keep him. If he isnt, move him on. But dont replace him. Thats a bit mad. I agree re Goss. Kettlewell is getting the best out of him. But he is a different kind of player and shouldnt be an either/or with Cornelius.

Of the players out of contract I would only be offering new contracts to Max, Casey, Deano and Goss. Id also be trying very hard to get Furlong back and potentially Obika depending on what happens with KVV or whoever his replacement is going to be. After that its seeing if there is any interest from other clubs for players that have been told they are likely to be squad players, so if you want regular games get your agent busy. Players like McGinley, Lamie, Mugabi and Sheilds probably fit into that category. Be interesting to see what happens to Tierney, Danzaki and Efford. All potentially have something to offer, but not in a 3-5-2 if thats what we stick to. Kettlewell has been excellent so far. His next big test starts now.......

The Rangers team we beat in the play offs clearly werent the standard of the teams of the past or that they have had since. However, it was a team that still cost way more money to put together than we could afford at the time and they were still playing in front of 50k of their own fans. Beating them 3-1 at their place shouldnt be talked down. It was still a hell of an achievment and a thoroughly satisfying night out!

Re the club statement, it really doesnt tell us anything we didnt know other than Morris has been freed. Who will stay and who will go still seems subject to conjecture. Hopefully the picture will become clearer soon.

Newspaper gossip that Torino are interested in Max Johnston. That would be some move for him. Given the increasing number of Scots going over there, it seems to be a bit of a trend!

I would imagine Kettlewell will be looking to offload a lot of the unconctracted players and as many of the contracted ones, that he doesnt fancy, as he can. What business we do will probably depend on how successful he can be in that regard.

Fletcher and and a fit Louis Moult would be pretty exciting. But it would come with all the usual caveats and probably not the model the club are going to follow.....

Fletcher would have been a great foil for KVV. If Kevs away, Fletcher isnt what we need, even though I really rate him as a player. As KMc says, his goal return isnt enough for the money he would command. As a club we need to get back to getting value for money and invest in players we can move on to a higher level after a couple of seasons and bring in some much needed revenue. Thats why we wont be standing in Kevs way if a half decent offer comes in.

Despite being one of his more vocal critics thru the winter period, Im surprised KVV only won 7 MOTM awards. Outnof 38 games I would have expected more than that. Also surprised Spittal doesnt even rate a mention. I guess the awards must have been shared widely througout the squad..... PS. Well done Weeyin! Someone has to take responsibility for these things so its nice to be appreciated!

This is correct. 2 totally different incidents. Mugabi goes up to head the ball. Fletcher pushes him in the back. The ball is behind Mugabi who cant see it and it strikes him on the upper arm. There is no movement to the ball. He was jumping for the ball so his arm is in a totally natural position. Its never a penalty in a million years. All 3 Sportscene pundits agreed. The hand ball rule is broken.

Aye saw Sportscene. Defo offside. Wasnt that obvious at the game. Spittal must be really quick! 😆

Furlong and McGinn had very good games. Kelly had a very good first half but had little to do seconf half. KVV got his goal and had some great runs. Max had a great last 30 mins. But our MOTM by a distance today is Blair Spittal. How some of our fans cant see his quality is beyond me.

It was Collum. But McLean can still over rule him.

Well, that was a thoroughly enjoyable day at the fitba! Well, the second half at least! Great early start with KVV getting the 11 in a row, but after that we regressed and allowed United to dominate the possession and eventually the chances. Would need to see the pen again, but didnt think Bevis did too much wrong and Fletcher certainly never claimed for it. However, we can hardly complain as they missed a barrowload of chances and Kelly pretty much kept us in it to half time. Second half started poorly and their 2nd goal is far too easy. We were cut open like a hot knife through butter. Pretty much shows on its own the importance of us keeping on Butcher and Casey! After that though I thought we were brilliant. The subs helped with more urgency in our play and we created more than enough chances to deserve to win the game handsomely, even taking into account our poor first half. Need to see the disallowed goal again, was hard to see much wrong with it but there was so much going on it was difficult to tell. Nice that Max got the 3rd to make up for it, and from his celebrarions he definitely looks like he is away. On Kev. Great to get the 11. Should have had the 30 when Goss had a simple 5 yard pass to him for a tap in and somehow played it behind him. And the Slattery free kick? I know he scored a perler at Kilmarnock but if Im KVV theres no way he is hitting that! All in all, a satisfying close to the season. Big changes in the summer and Kettlewell will have to prove himself all over again by re-shaping this squad in his own image and hopefully maintaining the performance and consistency levels since he came in.

That would be sweet! Karma paying him back for giving Moult that pen at Tynecastle!

Ooft thats a sore one. Wouldnt wish injury on any player, despite any perceived wrongs to the club re his departure. Could be out a while with that one though. Shame, as he was looking back to his best this season and must have been back on the radar for a Scotland call up given the injuries to Paterson and Ramsay......

Beautiful sunny day. Whole stadium decked out in claret and amber. Wee Tommy getting his well deserved recognition. Hopefully a positive result, some goal records broken and the chance to say thank you and goodbye to the players that wont be with us next season. Get yerself along to the game!

Old manager signs for new club and is off the wage bill. Move along now nothing to see here.....

Cheesy peeps! Doing well to get a draw against the bottom team in the league and worst defence? It might turn out that way, but to predict it is beyond parody!

I will take that as long as his hat trick is 3 minutes! 😆

I think Kev already has enough records this season. Surely he can leave that one for The Saint! 😆

Sunday is the KVV show. We will score at least 2. How many we concede depends on what defenders are fit.
