Happy with the money I suppose .

Wasn't he, aye?

I could score penalties and I am nearly seventy. We have had many good penalty takers in my years watching motherwell, but they were also good players , ap stam was not a good player.

I'm not saying he was great, but to put things in perspective we have 8 forwards on our books right now. JT is the top scorer. AP scored more league goals than the other 7 have combined. If you want to throw Luca Ross's first team appearances in the mix, AP scored more league goals than the other 8 have combined. He also took a better penalty than JT.

Is it the case that we should as a minimum know the basics of what the ground report revealed? And what upgrades are urgently required. If we are staying put even. I support 100% any proposal that improves things for our less able supporters. Lifts being installed seems like a no brainer to me. In this day and age all grounds should be adapting as required. Other venues have to by Law but football seems to get an easy ride. We need to know what the long term plans are re Fir Park before we commit to any expenditure. I hope at the very least the Society have had some indication of what that Report revealed. As owners, I am reminded. As to what we need as a Reserve should disaster eventually strike, the McLean houses over 4500. Relegation would lose us 2 home games against Rangers, Celtic and more than likely Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. Assuming top six. (The reason no League reconstruction will be sanctioned). That equates to around 30,000 paying away fans. Possibly more if the other three exceed 2000 per game. At £25 each that totals lost income of £750,000……for one season (somebody please check my calculation. It shocked me). I guess playing Arbroath, Livi, County etc would not really compensate. Add loss of tv revenue, match day sales etc. WeeYin rightly mentioned Parachute payments but how much will that really compensate given other areas that would also be adversely affected. In the absence of a sugar daddy or external finance I don’t think a reserve of £1.5m or less is anywhere near enough. And I don’t really care what other Clubs have in place. Each situation is unique. Of course my figures are only guesstimates. How about someone from the Society with access to accurate figures and the Club Board draw up details of the financial impact of relegation? That’s what we should be made aware of, even if nobody believes it will happen. What cuts would require to be made if sufficient resources were not available? Cuts which would affect our ability to bounce straight back up. I’m in no way against the Society providing funding as they have done for the likes of Mrs Baillie’s. It’s a great ambition and the results benefit all. . But let’s not forget why the Society was created in the first place.

Yes, I would support this kind of project. However the initial stumbling block is the lack of decision on the stadium feasibilty study.

Probably back in Scandinavia for a long weekend.

He was never interested in being here , and I put all my supporting energy into supporting players who are good at football and also happy to be playing with Motherwell FC. Better strikers at Bellshill Athletic.

Lennon Miller starts tonight against Inter Milan. That's good timing if he wants to remind the new Scotland boss he exists.

I don't that quite captures the welcoming and "safe place to fail" ethos that has helped create our current level of success.

Fuck him , he was shite and a waste of money.

Yet another joke recycled from last season.

Hes probably just bored fielding the same banal shite from the media.

Rogers doing the press conference, was Alfred passing the buck? 🤪

The assistant gaffer said

I don't expect a lot of goals and would happily take 1-0. Aberdeen are utter pish but their objective will be to stop us playing. We are very lightweight up front and the St Mirren game AND the Rangers game showed some concerning defensive frailties. If Rangers had their shooting boots on they'd have pumped us. This game could go either way.

I’d give us pass marks at Ibrox for the first half, with one unfortunate blip which I don’t think we will seen again

In my defence i have been here 37 years, so a wee slip now and again is ok 😃

We were a bit off it, but a self-inflicted 1 - 0 defeat at Ibrox at the end of an 11 games in 37 days run, wasn't that poor.

Not a fan of them then? 🤣🤣

Nah not for me........3-0 or 4-0 would be lovely

Yer like the Tin Man. He didn't have a heart either! 🤣🤣

Let it goooooooo, let it goooooooo Whoops!!....wrong musical 🤣🤣

A game that gives me the chills, we are on the back of a really poor performance and we have a Robinson / Craigan team to play. All I want is a 1-0 win so I can give them both some verbals from the main stand.A Self important little ego maniac with a massive chip on his shoulder and his curly toed, own goal specialist, ping the ball out the park at every opportunity sidekick. please for the love of god… a 1-0 win please

It’s a relief to think I’ll not have to read any more on here about him being sh1t. good luck to him, I’m pretty sure he’ll get goals with McArthur Bulls? If that’s their name.
