Well-Made

Think the only bit that sticks in my craw about the interview is that he hopes on a" personal note "to finish above Motherwell...... Well I hope on a personal note that Mouly and Skippy rip him and his defensive partners apart so we can stay above them Give it 5 years when another manager looks to re-sign him and this'll be brought up ala Pearson....

Sorry but all the pictures and video I have seen are of Kiernan sliding in from behind and taking the man out. Straight Red and should stand. Our lads at least took the ball first before the man, whether the red cards were justified or not, leaves room for debate on that alone. However Sevco are obviously looking at appealing this so they have him available for Celtic. So the SFA will rescind it, after all he got away with punching earlier in the season. Will be interesting to see how our Club react if it is rescinded.

Suppose we'll find out if Kennedy makes a miraculous recovery and plays on Saturday.

Was just going to post that his job application won't sit well. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/655450/forget-passion-and-emotion-motherwell-board-should-make-the-big-calls-over-a-managers-future-not-the-fans-says-jim-duffy/

I could see a partnership with Robinson as manager and Crags as Assistant as he'd still be able to have input with the U20's. A thought just crossed my mind and may have to do more with the media writing up about how Sevco are looking at reshaping their management style and wonder if Robinson had been brought back in so that next season McGoo made the step up to Director of Football looking after the signings etc with Robinson taking the head coach role. May just be me putting 2+2 together and coming up with 10 but McGoo said last week that there were already talks taking place for him to be here next season. What's other thoughts, do we need a director of football, would this even work at our club?

Looks like: Chairman James McMahon, Chief Operating Officer Alan Burrows, Company Secretary Graham Keys, Director Douglas Dickie, Director Tom Feeley, Director Leanne Thomas Taking from Wiki but sort of ties in with this statement last March http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2016/03/15/club-statement-ownership/

I actually thought there was a smirk on his face at the start of the interview. Noticed he wasn't asked by the interviewer about the protest taking place outside.

Taxi has to be waiting to take him away now. This is has gone on long enough.

It's okay I have been winding the Celtic fans up today about how crap they must be, when Aberdeen can put 7 past us...... by the same token I have had to admit how awesome Dundee are.....

Can we vote for the 4th Official please..... really helped to put Mutley in the limelight..

I'd give new contracts to Las and Hammell without a second thought...................... on the coaching side, no playing involved. Let them carry on the work they are doing with Crags and the academy.(Or possibly in place of Crags, if he was to make the step up.) Skippy is obviously feeling a pull for going back home and I can't blame him for that, given the service he has given us, it's only right to let him go there at the end of the season. McManus, think he still has a year to run after this, so probably stuck with him. Samson, I hope his contract is up this year, otherwise let him move on. Ainsworth I'd only keep if either he agreed to do more defensively (ain't gonna happen) or we had a formation that provided extra cover to the full back behind him. He'd also have to turn up for more games when he starts as well right enough, so sadly would say goodbye. As for the rest..... We could lose both Cadden and Moulty in the Summer but at this rate not at the sort of fees we'd hope for. This Summer has to be a rebuild with the next few years in mind, not just next season, would I trust Mutley with that.... Nah!!!.

That'll be the comeback over then...

Jobsworth

I think that is probably the best line up we can hope for tonight, although I'm swaying whether Las should start in place of Clay or not.

I would think the day any referee sends 2 old firm players off in a single game let alone in the first 20 minutes is a helluva long way away. I'd be inclined to think that they'd just go the whole hog and send another 3 off just so he can stop the game and get away from the abuse it'd be coming his way.

From Scotzine With Skippy still here, why we would want to pay a grand a week, when we can't play him against his parent club. Even worse if we had lost Skippy or Moult then we'd be weakened for their game again as well.

Ainsworth on for Moult.. wasting time or fora farewell?

This from the Record but other sources including BBC reporting as well. Just in case you missed the earlier posts. • Scott McDonald could yet be heading home to Australia, although he has just scored for Well in their Premiership clash against Ross County. Could it have been his last?

This from the Sun's transfer feed https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/512109/january-deadline-day-latest-celtic-rangers-aberdeen-and-hibs-news-and-rumours/

I can't find any information to confirm either way.

As put in the shoutbox Lee Clark looking at bringing Lee Erwin on loan to Kilmarnock. Ojamaa heading to Dundee on loan from the Scotsman but also seen a story with Go Ahead Eagles confirming. Not a former player but related to one, Jamie McCart on loan at Inverness, who have also brought in Bill McKay.

Hopefully that was Nicky Cadden then...
