It’s ruining football. It is far too jobsworth-like and rather than intervening to correct clear and obvious errors by onfield officials it is too often going back to earlier phases of play to almost forensic examine everything that happens in the build up to goals/penalties to find even the most minuscule infringement. Get rid ASAP

I was happy to share my views in great detail. tl;dr ditch it

No survey or debate required, VAR needs binned ASAP its ruining the game, especially the pound shop version we have in Scotland and the incompetent clowns running it.

For those who aren't in the Well Society or who didn't see the email, the following was sent out today: As the first top-flight football club in the UK to be owned by its supporters, Motherwell Football Club, through the Well Society, has a duty to ensure that the views of our fans are properly represented on important matters within the game. Growing concerns around VAR Over recent months, concerns have been growing among fans, players and staff across the country regarding the impact VAR is having on the rhythm of matches, the atmosphere in stadiums and trust in refereeing decisions. In addition to these concerns, it is important to note that VAR currently costs each club a six-figure sum every season. A significant outlay that further underlines the need for a proper debate about its future. Listening to our members and shaping the future In light of this, the Well Society has committed to starting a process of listening and engaging with our members and the wider Motherwell support. Our aim is to gain a clearer understanding of supporters’ views on VAR and to consider whether the Society should take a position in favour of change or call for its removal from Scottish football altogether. This marks the beginning of a wider effort to build connections with other supporter groups and to explore the potential for positive, fan-led action. You can share your view by completing the survey available here between now and Monday 2nd June at noon.

Interesting that there is more-or less a full line up out of the top 11...... Oxborough O'Donnell Kaleta Casey Wilson Sparrow Slattery Miller Halliday Maswanhise Watt I know...slow work day...

You honestly wonder what some fans expect. This season was a very 'average' season but the thing these days is that everything has to be 'the worst ever' or 'the best ever'.

Career has gone down a major dip but I kind of agree. He had a kind of off season with us before he left and you'd still kind of feel he was still better than a lot of the guys we've had there.....or at least not worse but with more potential. Might not be possible due to wages and he might not want to come back here at this stage in his career but I'd be inclined to take the risk if it was possible. Of course you'd need to sit down and work out what kind of shape you want and where he fits in and that's where the manager would come in.

I’ve never been a “bring him back” type of supporter but with Allan Campbell being released from Utd I can’t help but think we might get the best out of him again? I just look at the types of players we have in that position already, Davor etc and think it’d be an upgrade. I have to be honest tho and say he’s been pretty poor in that last year with Millwall and Utd. Maybe not for the best but who knows.

I saw that one. The yellow reminds of our Admiral kit from the 1970's.

The votes have been tallied and the 2024-25 MOTM Player of the season is... Lennon Miller Very much a season of two halves for the runners up: Callum Slattery was second, thanks to his strong showing after his return from injury. Aston Oxborough and Ewan Wilson one point behind in joint third thanks to their form in the first half of the season. Tom Sparrow in 4th, closely followed in 5th place by Dan Casey. Complete results as follows: Lennon Miller 47 Callum Slattery 28 Aston Oxborough 27 Ewan Wilson 27 Tom Sparrow 24 Dan Casey 23 Stephen O'Donnell 21 Tawanda Maswanhise 19 Tony Watt 15 Andy Halliday 12 Marvin Kaleta 12 Liam Gordon 10 Apostolos Stamatelopoulos 9 Steve Seddon 9 Harry Paton 8 Kofi Balmer 6 Luke Armstrong 5 Davor Zdravkovski 4 Jack Vale 4 Kai Andrews 4 Sam Nicholson 4 Dominic Thompson 3 Moses Ebiye 3 Archie Mair 2 Dylan Wells 2 John Koutroumbis 2 Zach Robinson 2 Ellery Balcombe 1 Luke Plange 1 Paul McGinn 1 Shane Blaney 1

Pretty sure he actually was in our academy setup at one point. Remember seeing the name at that time...

I noticed there is a footballer called Liam Motherwell who is currently without club. Come on, give him a contract!

Posted on his Instagram which the club re-shared saying something along the lines of "Excited for what the future holds" Obviously could stay but from that sounds like he's offski

Don’t know if there is anyone from the club or clubs history sure I read there was plans to invest near the Davie Cooper stand - https://www.mctears.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-davie-cooper-1956---1995/?lot=375891&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=1791&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=96&pn=1&g=1# DAVIE COOPER (1956 - 1995) MOTHERWELL FOOTBALL CLUB JERSEY, SEASON 1990-91 claret and amber Admiral jersey with embroidered badge and Ian Skelly sponsor logo, match worn in the lead up to Motherwell's Scottish Cup Final victory over Dundee United in 1991, following a semi final replay victory (4-2) against Celtic. Davie Cooper (1956-1995) joined Glasgow Rangers Football Club in 1977, a £100,000 transfer from Clydebank. Cooper went on to make 376 appearances for the club. He moved to Motherwell in 1989 where he formed part of Scottish Cup winning squad in 1991. He made 157 appearances for the club. Cooper then returned to Clydebank in 1993. He tragically died in 1995 aged only 39. Cooper is remembered as one of the most significant players in the histories of Clydebank, Rangers and Motherwell football clubs. He was inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame in 2000, Clydebank's in 2008 and Motherwell's in 2020. He is remembered as one of the most significant players in the history of Motherwell, Rangers and Clydebank.

I rate Sparrow, he's certainly been one (if not the best) signings of the season. Glad to have him around for next season. Halliday has been decent , had we not had so many injuries I don't think he'd have had player of the year. Also benefits from Wimmer v's SK's formations.

A suggestion, no more, on P & B that Davor is leaving us. If true, that would be no surprise. Dundee Courier quote "McGhee was one of eight players offered a contract extension last autumn but is expected to join Motherwell at the end of his deal."

Go you.

Nothing like it, but apart from that, OK.

I'm surprised Tom Sparrow flies so below the radar - 31 appearances this season and busts a gut in every one He's popped up with a few goals too!

Definete fair choice , consistent performer in general. And there wasn't too many in the current squad

I don't think the pre contracts are strong enough to need any clauses, they've been broken before. Ketsbaias agent is really putting in the work.

Up there with the ‘pay as you play’ theorists on here.

Exactly, I like Wimmer and excited to see how we shape up next season

Hard to argue with, he hardly missed a game all season, scored a few goals, so a decent choice among a distinct lack of contenders tbh.
