East Kilbride manager should have been a stick on nomination.

Yes, he probably will. I once saw some advice online: "Never get down and dirty with a pig. The pig will just enjoy it and you always end up covered in shit." In any case, if Hearts beat them on Monday night, they'll be cooked. I love the smell of crackling in the morning 😈.

Pretty reasonable nominations. It’s impossible to see past McInnes this season for the job he has done at Hearts - taking them from bottom six last season to a few wins away from being League Champions - and I don’t see how there can be any reasonable argument against that. With McGlynn and Falkirk they have had a superb season and reached the SF of the Scottish Cup. For a side just promoted that’s pretty good going. Naysmith at Stenhousemuir is a bit of an outsider but he’s got them in a great position for promotion against the odds. And then on to our manager JBA. He has been fantastic for us and surpassed all expectations but I’m personally quite pleased he has been overlooked for this award as it might just keep his stock low enough to keep him here for a bit longer. Wishful thinking perhaps but anything that gives us an advantage as a club then I’ll take it. The reality is that Jens May very well not be with us next season but I still think there is a chance that he will be, and the less folk shouting about his credentials the better for Motherwell FC.

In 2 weeks time this same guy will be asking if Motherwell can do his team a favour and beat Celtic I absolutely hope we do , but not for him Haha

All valid nominations, JBA was probably fourth in the vote.

Facts are wasted on stumers, something I have discovered the hard way. You were quite right, best not to engage, and not to argue with half wits.

The nominations for the manger of the year award are out, and there is no place for JBA which i find a bit surprising. McInnes, McGlynn & Naysmith vie for manager award - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c072ne3499yo

I'm definitely liking the fact we are releasing Retro kits as there was classics from that era and when you see people at the games wearing them they definitely stand the test of time Next one for me should be the 1994/1996 Home which I had , and I loved Unfortunately for me someone stole it from my Mum's washing line back in the day so I'd definitely pay for this one

All about making money but as I’ve always said the people who are going to buy the kits will do so and those who aren’t won’t buy them. This season we have only worn the change kit in the away games where you would expect us to wear it, ie. Dundee Utd, Hearts, Aberdeen & Livingston which is the way it should be. Other years though we have ‘overcooked’ the away kit especially it seems when it’s a mostly Claret effort. The one from 23/24 that we wore when we won at Ibrox two years ago got a fair few outings and the 18/19 kit we wore it just about every single away game expect ironically enough against Hearts and Aberdeen because it would have caused a colour clash. I really didn’t like that. (And I say that as someone who is a massive fan of the mid 90s Claret with amber pinstripes kit that we wore against Dortmund and was delighted to see the club launch a retro version of that recently.)

Rangers fan I work with clearly still getting his digs in today Ha Conversation between myself and my fellow Well fan when discussing Europe. "Ach you's dont deserve Europe anyway beating the Teddy Bears" Few hours later it was a case of "It must have been a while since you last were in Europe? Willie Pettigrew must have been still playing then" I was actually thinking of letting him know Willie Pettigrew never played in Europe for us, but thought Nah

🤪 like it

Agree about that. Away kits are all about shifting product now. Much better to play in club colours whenever possible.

Just a minute you 😎

I’m a big fan of this years away kit but I really don’t like seeing us wearing our change kits when there is no clash of colour with the opposition. We should be in Claret & Amber as much as possible and thankfully this season we have been.

I was talking to a Rangers fan earlier today whom I always thought was quite normal. He quickly blew that by saying he was sick of Scottish football because everyone was raising their game just to beat Rangers. When I pointed out both Hearts and MFC had beaten Celtic there was an awkward moment: which allowed me toexpresss surprise at the time. I thought it was Sellick fans who were supposed to be paranoid.

Do any other players dislike it apart from just? .......ba boom 🤣

Were the Falkirk fans not singing 'Stand up and leave for Motherwell' the other week? (and something about bairns lifting a cup)

Eventually settled on SOD but by heck they’re all making it difficult to choose one.

I’ve been thinking for months that he would leave due to there being no renewal chat going around and have previously mentioned it. I’ve believed for some time that he is intent on moving back down south so I’d be very surprised if he does stay up here. Although he is a great player and will be missed he’s a replaceable player also.

Plenty of footage of it doing the rounds. Hibs fans were also at it when we were beating Hearts the other week.

Any truth in the rumour Hearts fans were singing "Stand up and sing for Motherwell" after hearing the result at Ibrox? Surely shome mishtake.......

I'm so glad we didn't have that away kit on . Just not been a fan since the first time I seen it , and others might disagree of course All of the 3 other kits mentioned in those games I was much more a fan of

There definitely was a mental block that ran right through the club for far too long when it came to these types of games. IMO it could be traced all the way back to Butcher and then Alan Burrows banging the “punching above our weight” drum for years and numerous managers, coaches, players and supporters fully bought into that. Before the March ‘24 win at Ibrox I genuinely thought we would never beat either OF side ever again but breaking that duck gave us the shot in the arm that we had been in desperate need of for years. On a side note and I know this doesn’t matter much to many, but it does to me…I was delighted to see us beat Rangers at Ibrox for the third year running but this time wearing our proper C&A kit. The last three league wins there we’ve been in our change kits going back to Owen Coyle day in ‘97. So Sunday must have been the first league win at Ibrox wearing our first kit since 94 or 95. 🍻

Wouldn't shock me to see him rocking up at any of the old firm or Edinburgh clubs tbh. Slattery has annoyed the life out of me many a time but also scored some crucial goals for us I wish him well he has played his part.

I do believe after a poor run for a long number of years a mental barrier was broke down the day we won there 2 seasons ago with Kettlewell. After 27 years of no wins there excluding the play off I said that day we would never be waiting anything like this again for a win. This has been proven in the last 2 seasons since, we do not fear going there at all Same when we got our first win against Celtic in 10 years back in December I said then too it wont be another 10 years and definetly do not think it will
