Unfortunately today was my last pie at the football. Need to get fit and lose weight. So that's Motherwell down about £40 next season!
-
Only needs 24 goals to over take Stevie Kirk's Premier League total. Can do that in a season, surely?
-
I thought the back two were good. I hope Ramsden signs on again as we have looked a lot more solid since he got a run of games. Lasley did well, can't fault his commitment or energy. But in a game that perhaps didn't really take off you have to give it to Humphrey. He was involved in the two key moves and generally had a decent match. For someone that doesn't consider himself a Humphrey fan I think that's the second MotM in a row I've given to him.

Randolph is the best I've seen in my 30 years of going to Fir Park so the chances of getting someone as good or better is extremely unlikely. I think fans are just going to have to accept our next goalkeeper isn't going to be as good as Randolph. Samson was tremendous 2 seasons ago but not quite as good this season but he's a decent goalkeeper, probably in the top 6 in the league and on the edge of international recognition so on the face of it a decent replacement. As it seems likely he will be our goalkeeper next season I think fans should not only give him a chance but also cut him some slack because it might be another 30 years before we have a goalkeeper as good as Randolph again.

I'd say I'm not a fan of black kits at all and this is an abysmal effort.

Since the Stone Roses stole most of their music and art work from other artists...

Different players in different positions, don't think there is any straight forward comparison. When O'Brien first arrived he was terrible but when he left I thought he was a great player. Probably the single biggest improvement in a player I've seen at Fir Park for a long while (Brian Martin didn't have a great start as I remember). I'd have him back any day and I'd pick him over Humphrey every time.

The reason for signing youngish keepers that want to take there career onto the next level is to sell them but we've not made any money out of Ruddy or Randolph. Really, we just need a good goalkeeper. Doesn't matter what age he is or where he wants his career to go.
-
Only problem with that is Formula One is an internaionally premier sporting brand. They can squeeze those sort of concessions out of broadcasters. Currently Sky can say to Scottish football "take it or leave it".

Surely McFadden goes to the Ojamaa position and Higginbotham comes in?
-
This will be the last chance for many people to see a team that has done superbly this season and for several seasons before hand. It could well be a return to reality next season depending on what happens during the summer so get out there and say thank you to one of the better Motherwell teams you are likely to see.
-
Not so good. I saw Lee Hollis and Bob McHugh in town last night all dressed up but I didn't know it was the awards.
-
Higdon has now got 26 league goals, joint second highest ever season tally from a non Old Firm striker in the Premier League era, along side John Robertson. Tommy Coyne's 33 goal record will probably never be beat you suspect...
-
20 years old, 43 goals in 53 matches.

This. We had Dykstra in goal rather than Woods. Phil O'Donnell was in the side also. We played much better than season before and if I remember correctly actually won more matches and finished much closer to the eventual Champions. The 90's team was far superior defensively. I'd pick the entire back line over anyone we have now with the exception of Randolph. Randolph Shannon Martin McCart McKinnon It's difficult to compare both sides in midfield because they played different formations. Lambert would be straight in. Superb player. I'd pick Phil O'Donnnell over anyone in the current side as well but if we are restricting it to the 94-95 side it would be close between Billy Davies and Nicky Law. So I'd put Nicky Law on the left and play Davies in the middle and have McFadden on the right. If we needed a bit more steel in the midfield I'd probably replace Davies with Lasley. Lasley and Dolan were very similar players but I think Lasley has been good in a Motherwell shirt longer than Dolan was so he deserves the nod. McFadden Lambert Davies Law Tommy Coyne is the stand out striker we've had in my time and is a no brainer. He had a great partnership with Arnott and although Arnott wasn't ever a prolific striker (except against the OF!) he caused defenders all sorts of trouble and chipped in as well. So despite Higdon having a superb season I'd go for the nineties pairing there. Coyne Arnott

We have a better points tally against the top six than Celtic do, so against the better teams we were the top dogs. Celtic won the league by putting the poorer teams away. They won 14 out of 18 against the bottom six. We drew far too many matches against the lower sides, 7 in total. I don't think we were far away though. If we could keep this team and added maybe a quality right back and centre back and maybe bring in a central midfielder to augment Law/Lasley I think we could actually challenge. Sadly, that's not going to happen.

Jennings was a good player but I never thought he was going to be a huge lose. He was basically a tackler, there wasn't much more to his game, he didn't really offer anything in an offensive or creative sense. You can say we've not been as convincing defensively this season and no doubt some of that is down to missing Jennings in the middle but we have been a much better team to watch this season than last season, noticeably more attacking and creative and have much better options going forward. Having Nicky Law next to Lasley has moved us up to a different level.

Tough one so I'm going to break the rules and give you them by preference. 1. McFadden 2. Randolph 3. Higdon 4. Law 5./6. Hateley/Humphrey I'd pick McFadden because he's a special player and I just love watching him. My second pick would be Randolph because I think the difference between an ordinary team and a good team is often a goalkeeper. My third pick would be Higdon because of the amount of goals he's scored and because I think he's really improved and is actually a much better player than when he joined. Law has done great but I don't think he's quite as crucial as the first three. Hateley and Humphrey I think are replaceable.

I'm sure I heard £1.3m on Radio Scotland. Mind you it was a journalist so not a credible source!
-
Very good team performance. For me Lasley, Humphrey and Randolph were all superb, with Hammell not far behind. Ojamma had a good second half but I don't think he had much impact until he scored his goal. I'd give it to Humphrey because he absolutely terrorized Izaguirre.
-
I was being a bit tongue and cheek but I can't remember us cutting open Celtic like that for a long time. Should have been 4 at least.
-
Just back from the game and I'm disappointed. It was only three.
-
Games at this end of the season are difficult to predict. Will Celtic be really going for it? What kind of team will they put out? If they use fringe players will they play out their skin or will their lack of games show? There's a lot of variables. Hopefully, our boys put in a performance and whatever the result I'll be happy.

Players of the Season 1. Michael Higdon - Incredible scoring exploits 2. Darren Randolph - Best goalkeeper we've had in the 30 years I've watched us 3. Nicky Law - Classy player who showed he can play at a higher level Young Player of the Season Zane Francis Angol - Started the season as a dodgy looking left back, developed into a tasty looking left midfielder. Goal of the Season Kallum Higginbotham - Probably goal of the decade! Signing of the Season James McFadden - Great to see him strut his stuff again at Fir Park. Class.
