If you want to raise money for charity through sales, the first and last criteria is to come up with something people will buy. Probably gonnae be too un-Motherwell for a lot of fans and too unremarkable for most non-fans. I don't get who they were aiming at here.

Yeah, black with a bit of white, only claret & amber was the crest. Wore it when we got 2nd place at Pittodrie. Still a shit strip though. I thought petrol blue was our original colour, but I'm only going by the couple of times they used it recently, others will know more about that.

A point would do, as far as making sure Killie won't catch us, but we still need to keep an eye on Accies and County, so we should really be looking to beat a team at the bottom and on an utterly pish run of form. If we're very lucky, results wise, we could be just about safe from the play-off too.

Good news for us if both are going all out for a win, given they're playing Hamilton and Ross County. Edit: as Kat just said.

A win next week should be plenty.

My first Motherwell team and replica strip, couldn't ever say no for nostalgic reasons. Took a while to realise the hoop/band was even a thing for us, given it was about 10 years before it reappeared. Wee Tommy's first season?

McInnes got Aberdeen into Europe year after year, but their results there were unextraordinary, to sat the least. Same problem with cups. Almost always there or thereabouts, but apart from the early League Cup, they won nothing, and might as well have stayed in the hoose when they were up against Celtic (sounds familiar). Their fans might have a Fergie fixation, but most aren't that stupid, they know where their best chance of silverware lies. Nothing's ever good enough for fans. We finish 3rd or 4th and mump about the standard of football, get to cup finals and complain when we don't beat the best team in the country. I do it as much as anyone. It's why we chose Alexander over Wright - the possibilities. You never know vs the same old, same old. How often does it work, for anyone? Imagine what we'd make of our legendary side of the 20s and 30s these days - Sailor Hunter would've been out on his arse.

Commentary thought it's so he could get closer to the linesman. Given the 2 red cards, no sure about the wisdom of that move.

Agree with that. I'm happy to admit I was wrong about the hopelessness of a few players (not all, though) but the questions will remain about their long term future once the season's over. It feels like a team now, rather than a collection of guys who disappeared then reappeared on a regular basis, with ever diminishing returns.

Not to speak ill of anyone, I'll say he was a memorable teacher. The 2 Whiteford brothers were PE teachers at my school anaw.

Some were saying our squad was pish, some were saying it wasn't. Anyone in the former category would have a point regarding Wright's lack of impact vs Alexander's success. Bit more difficult to compare if you always thought we had a decent side, as Killie fans seem pretty united regarding their pishness. I'm happy we got the right man.

Few weeks back it looked like a clear out was needed, but some of the more maligned players have came onto a game. Results, good or bad, can blind you to a lot of things. Be interesting to see who folk would want to keep now, and who they still think won't cut it long term?

Hamilton and Ross County have their games in hand against 2 out of form teams next Saturday. Results go our way, especially in the Accies game, we're virtually safe.

He made me smile anyway.

I never liked strikers who look pissed off when their teammates score, but he manages to look pissed off even when he scores. He's got ability, just not enough to carry off that attitude.

Can we have Stevie Kirk there every week?

Magloire hobling a bit.

Fantastic pass from Carroll.

3-1 ahead now.

County ahead.

Kelly again. Brilliant.

One of his passes looked moody, if that's even possible.

Needed that.

He was singing Magloire's praises in the papers yesterday, so you know what that means.

Imagine leading 6-2 away from home and almost losing.
