Ya Bezzer!

Michael Doesburg.

Christian Dailly has been released by Rangers. I think he could do a job for a team like us but wages might be a problem...

Oh! I remember that one! The whole stand was laughing its head of. We also, I'm pretty sure, beat Aberdeen 2-1 that day as I think Eion Jess scored but I can't remember the 'Well scorers. Aberdeen were still a 'top' team then, it was a big win for the 'Well back in those days!

I'd take Hartley in a heart beat but I reckon he could still get a decent sized club in the Championship and therefore get a contract worth 5 or 6 times what we could offer him. I'd be happy to take him but surprised if he did arrive at Fir Park.

If you think Fir Park was bad last season take a look at FC Okzheptes pitch! http://www.okzhetpes.kz/rus/foto/

They should just appoint me then, I'd have the club at heart and I'd be cheaper. And LMA stats show the win ratio between former international players and managers who have no experience as players at the top level is only 1% in favour of the former internationals, i.e virtually insignificant. So it's decided, I'm the new Motherwell manager

Seriously, people are turning their noses up at the prospect of European football now?

We didn't bomb. We bombed before McGhee joined. Yeah, I'm sure his reputation has really 'suffered' from finishing 7th in the SPL with Motherwell! He's just not the hot ticket item he was last season since Coyle has won the play-off down south but when McGhee leaves he'll go to a bigger team than us.

Can anyone see McGhee wanting a player like Foran or Foran wanting to play for a manager like McGhee. I'm saying they'd both be keen to avoid one another.

Not true. For a start he's given a regular game to Jamie Murphy. He's stuck by Mark Reynolds who was only 20 when McGhee joined the club and selected him for virtually every match. Secondly Steven Saunders played 3 games on the trot in mid season. Thirdly McHugh has played 3 times for McGhee over two seasons.

Higdon? He's scored 2 goals since last November, nah, we already have a big lumbering striker that contributes nothing except putting it in the net and Sutton is better. Even at this stage Arfield probably isn't within our purchasing power. Apparently McCann did well this season but how many more seasons does he have in him at this level?

So we could get beat 2-0?

He's more likely to score a goal than any of our midfield!

Not much to pick from today but I went for Clarkson. Only player that looked dangerous and set up the goal.

Cowie has already gone and Black is going. Not sure if I'd have Foran back. I'd take Morais though.

The Killie fans had an inflatable alligator that they were passing around the a section of the away support so about 6 of our boys in blue appear, lift one of the Killie fans, go into the crowd and then confiscate the alligator, although only after a it was passed around the crowd some more! Probably the best entertainment of the day but stuff like that really pisses me off just a bunch of killjoys but when anything serious is happening they are nowhere to be seen.

The alligator incident. Seriously, the police in this country....

You may or may not have seen this on the BBC yesterday but McGhee was quoted as saying... "We tried to sign a couple of players yesterday who we weren't able to afford and who look as though they've ended up signing for St Johnstone, so that's our problem and we have to cut our cloth. "The youth system is really where our squad is going to be coming from, because we aren't going to be out there buying and selling lots of players."

Game of the season: Odd choice maybe, especially as we lost it but the Accies League Cup tie was a great game, so many chances and incidents. Goal of the season: Sutton's strike against Rangers was a beauty. Lets not forget Bob Malcolm hit a couple of brilliant free kick goals. Player of the season: David Clarkson. His best season in terms of goals scored but his overall work rate is superb and he rarely gives less than 100%. So our best player, our most consistent player and our best goalscorer adds up to Player of the Season. Best moment: The teams coming our on to Fir Park for our first Euro tie for a long time. Unfortunately it was only a moment! Worst Moment: Hearts scoring in the 90th minute at Tynecastle. Arrrghhhh! Suprise of the year: Qualifying for Europe (by the looks of it) through the back door. Worst player of the year: No one. Under McGhee I think the players have generally given it 100% effort over the season. Some are players better than others, some performances were under par but you expect that over a season so there is no one I would point the finger at. Young player of the year: Again no one. Jamie Murphy has talent but he's yet to convince me he can play at SPL level. Overall: If anyone was expecting us to repeat last season then their expectations were far too high. Considering the size of our squad which must be one of, if not actually the smallest in the league, McGhee has done a decent job to get us back from our sticky period mid season.

Are you serious! Corrigan got elbowed out at Kilmarnock, had a disastrous loan period at Dundee and is now by no means an automatic choice at ROSS COUNTY. Meanwhile Kinniburgh couldn't get a game at Partick Thistle and will be released this summer.

Naw it doesnae! It's too long ago. I'd only been coming to the 'Well from about '86/87. Within a few years we'd won a Scottish Cup. 18 years later I'm still waiting!

And if he was so good he was, apparently, knocking on the first team squad door at Motherwell, he'll get a lower league club easy - that's if he wants to work his way up.

I'd say one of the reason Nancy battered us was as the word 'battered' suggests, they were much bigger, stronger and physically imposing. Very few of their players weren't 6ft plus and build like brick shithouses. In contrast our team was short, skinny and lightweight, even our taller players like Quinn and Porter are built like rakes! Nancy were technically better also but not so much that the major reason for the defeat was that they simply out muscled us. Celtic showed much more technical ability a couple of weeks before than Nancy did at Fir Park. So may the Scottish game isn't primitive enough!

I agree with you on the 'I'll not bother' brigade. What amazing activities have all these guys got lined up on Saturday between 3pm and 5pm? Bungee jumping? Jet backpack testing? High wire balancing over the Grand Canyon? Support your team! I actually quite enjoyed watching Motherwell without all the gut mangling tension that I usually have to endure! I'd keep the split, although its not worked out for us this season, and I'd add a relegation play off, the 2nd bottom side should play the 2nd top side in the First Division.

Fraser was dropped and replaced, rightly so, by RYAN ESSON. Basically he is not first team material and if he starts next season then we could be in a bit of bother. Davie Clarkson did fine the other night, but if virtually your entire midfield doesn't kick a ball there isn't much a forward can do about it. As for his only contribution being setting up a goal, I'm not sure is entirely factual but what would you rather he do? Do 500 keepie uppies on the centre circle? He set up our equaliser and scored two goals at the weekend and he still gets it in the neck from some people. As for Sutton/Clarkson 'not looking like a partnership' well they have scored 24 goals between them this season which isn't a bad return and Sutton has the same number of league goals this season as St. Porter with only a couple more games played (3 to be precise). He might look lumbering and lazy but his goal rate is actually pretty good. The facts are we looked much more dangerous with Sutton/Clarkson up front than with Sheridan/Clarkson. If McGhee hadn't made that substitution we would have lost so again give the players some credit.
