Some effort mate, hope its worth your while.

It's all a bit sevco.

I'd become increasingly more despondent with the 'Well over the last couple of years. When McGhee returned my enthusiasm and attendances tailed right off. This team and manager are a complete breath of fresh air, the club feels completely reinvigorated. The team have a hunger, grit and determination that we've not seen for a long time. Personified nowhere better than in Louis Moult, a talented player with a faultless attitude who will give absolutely everything he has for his teammates and the fans. We wouldn't have won that semi final with McGhee or McCall in charge, they'd have set up to counter some non-existent perceived threat from The Rainjurz. Robinson sees them for what they are, a shower of spineless crocks there for a pay day. He set his team up to play the same way they would anyone else and walked it. I was worried in the off season to see McDonald, Ainsworth, Thomas, Heneghan etc leaving but by christ are we better off without the attitudes of the first three mentioned there. I've gone from someone who was absolutely scunnered with watching football and would rather play golf on a Saturday afternoon, to a fee paying Society member in the space of a couple of months. I've always felt previous managers have burdened our club with feelings of inadequacy, we've managed to shake that old fashioned viewpoint now, long may it continue. 'Mon the 'Well!

First post in a while... I've struggled to muster any strength of feeling towards our squads over the last couple of years. I don't like the model of signing substandard players from the English lower leagues and hoping about 1 in 3 of them turn out to be useful and produce a small transfer fee. They've no interest in Motherwell and likewise I've no interest in their development and future. It's a continual struggle to keep churning through them and just exist along the same lines indefinitely. It's to the detriment of young Scottish players of our own which I find immensely disappointing. I've no real affection for the team anymore and my attendances have tailed off to the point where I was away out playing golf yesterday afternoon and didn't bother to check the score until hours after the match had ended. In the not too distant past, I'd never have envisaged that ever being the case. There's no identity to our team on the park, they're 90% mercenaries who will be off the first payday they can get their hands on. Contrast it to our team of ten years ago...

Because I've seen 40 year olds with a beer belly and half a knee run games up against the kind of flash cunts in pink boots highly rated by FM.

What...?

You are a fucking lunatic. For what it's worth, I reckon Clarky is a good low risk signing, I doubt he's broke the bank and is undoubtedly a very capable player when he stays fit. Not the most exciting signing but a player worth having if the price is right.

Enjoyed Jay's rant about the Sevco fans, don't sit on the fence or anything.

Chick Young and Derek Ferguson are a pair of fucking dinosaurs.

Sound advice.

I'm fucking bricking it...

I am still keeping my feet firmly on the ground, I've had my hopes dashed far too many times in the past to think the tie is safe, what a chance we've given ourselves though. If we approach the game on Sunday with the same ferocity as tonight I think we'll do just fine. I was thoroughly expecting more of the same from this season tonight and would have been delighted to have managed to escape Mordor level in the tie, nearly went through the ceiling when the third went in. We started extremely well and after weathering a bit of early pressure snatching the goal really got our tails up and for an hour of the tie we were well on top. Walsh, Ferguson and Boyd will all start on Sunday and I hope we start in the same manner as last night in order to nullify the first two, they were very direct and we struggled to match them as the team tired badly, they managed to whip in some quality balls as they bombarded us near the end, need to stop that early doors. I thought the whole starting 11 were excellent. Pearson was absolutely fantastic, tenacious without the ball and rarely wastes it when he gets it, because of this the opposition know exactly how dangerous he is when he gets running at them. I just hope Hammell and Pearson are fit for Sunday... Straker never done anything glaringly awful but he doesn't inspire much confidence in his teammates by the looks of things, I imagine he definitely does the opposite for the right sided midfielder who is fortunate enough to have been lined up against him. Please don't let us down 'Well...

I'd rather we had just finished 12th.

And the "rappy music".

Careful now, I've said this from the beginning and been slated for it. Kerr is an absolute cart horse, there are better defenders in the juniors, I am being entirely serious. The fact he makes a living from professional football angers me.

Will be plenty of free agents floating about from the English lower leagues, a market we've previously used to our advantage. Have a feeling McCall will look for an additional centre half if Hutch goes, could do worse than this boy released from Carlisle United, have seen him playing a fair few times and always been a solid performer. Similar level to Ramsden, that's worked out alright. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Livesey

Ideally, would get shot of Neilsen, just not worked out... Hollis good as backup but would like to see a new face in goals. Might be that Hollis goes instead and Nielsen staying as backup. I'd keep Reid and Ramsden on, McHugh will probably be allowed to find another club. Lasley and Hammell are no brainers. Would be great to keep Ainsworth, would keep him over McFadden just now, he's either shite or champagne, usually the former. Can we afford it? The man I'm most worried about losing is McCall... pleasantly surprised he's not been linked with any clubs down south whilst the likes of McNamara and McInnes have been.

Twardzik in goal for Dundee today, saved a penalty.

Paul Lawson

Thank god you don't watch my other team, I've seen a well liked former player score a goal against whilst playing for another team and celebrate by waving his bare knob at the once adoring fans of his former club.

Said I wouldn't go back this season after the Aberdeen LC debacle, wish I had kept to my word. Worst performance I've ever seen from Motherwell and I don't say that lightly. Makes me sick some of those cunts are taking home a handsome wage to pull on a 'Well shirt. Lawson is horrific, what a waste of a wage, he has nothing. Angol has a bit of pace but no touch whatsoever and the heart of a mouse, disgraceful. I can take lack of ability, but not lack of commitment or desire. Faddy needs to have a word with himself, don't get me wrong it's sad to see a player as talented as him totally fucked, but there's no hunger there, spends the game moping about after his attempt to beat a crowd of four players has inevitably failed. No room for sentimentality in football, sort yourself out or do the decent thing and stopping taking a wage. What happened to keeping the ball on the deck? There was just nothing yesterday, Leith was the only player on the park who was capable of passing and then moving...

What's the point? Absolutely toothless display after playing best part of 80 minutes with ten men. Paul Lawson is an abomination of a player, no dig, no drive, nothing, what a waste of a wage. The keeper inspires no confidence whatsoever, maybe Hollis isn't so bad after all, eh? On a hiding to nothing with Angol, his first touch is absolutely dreadful and his crosses even worse. Down to ten men and Stevie Hammel persists with walking the ball to the half way line, having a wee look then battering the ball in the direction of John Suttons chest, arguably the one area you don't have an advantage against ten men is in an aerial battle... Even if Sutton won a knock down it wouldn't have mattered, not like he had anyone running beyond him to pick them up. Absolutely scunnered with it, a chance to get into the last four of a cup with three other similar sides and we fucking blow it, Scottish cup is all there is left to play for. Between the general over-pricing of a shite standard of football, last nights debacle, our toothless, pathetic displays in Europe and the inability to show up for any sort of important one-off tie I really don't see many reasons for positivity. I really can't be fucked forking out money for it anymore, doubt I'll be back this season, rant over...

Sam Sheridan formerly of Stockport and Ritchie Jones formerly of Man U. Various, both on trial at the club. A lad from Blackpool called Ramone Blackett given the boot earlier this week after failing to impress on trial.

What that man said. Not too disheartened, think if we can bring in a right winger with a wee bit of pace, we'll do just fine. I do like Sutton, but not entirely sure we're utilising him correctly.
