Most strikers?

Can you just get your brother to join the forum!!!!! 🤪

I’ve not worded that well so I’ll try again. I do enjoy going because it’s a life long passion following Motherwell FC. I know however that I’m not always going to ‘enjoy’ the game because that’s just the way it is and always will be for a club of our stature, but I go regardless and wouldn’t miss it, even though it often has me tearing my hair out. So I’m afraid Motherwell FC are stuck with me.

Not been in for a while. MJC still not had his hole yet?

Yes. Overall, I found it cumbersome and confusing to have to constantly switch between 1) comments received in the initial consultation 2) proposed changes in light of that consultation and 3) the comprehensive detailed proposals and D) the the actual voting form when casting my vote. The information provided in 1), 2) and 3) was useful however; it was just the way in which it was presented. Specific examples? A) I agreed with the proposal to simplify adult membership tiers but wasn't clear about the status of legacy members who had paid in considerable sums in some cases; sometimes in a single lump sum. Why should they be allocated en masse to the 1886 tier and not to a higher tier? B) Code of conduct: I agree one should be introduced but don't agree with specific wording about "perceived" bullying, harassment and discrimination etc. Either its bullying / harassment / discrimination or its not. For the record, bullying / harassment / discrimination etc is totally unacceptable. Someone's perception can be wrong. I get though that this is a wider societal issue. Suggested text seems to say that it doesn't matter what someone does or says rather its whether another party is offended by it that matters. C) Major votes policy. I agree with its introduction but think that 75% is too high. I would have thought that 55/60/65% was more appropriate. That still represents a clear majority. Also, the triggers for a major vote are too loose and ambiguous. For example, what is the meant by a "large scale" financial decision? Is the defintion £1m or £2m or maybe £5m? Lines have to be drawn somewhere though. From memory, I may not have recalled everything 100% but thats the gist of my concerns. To put this in context though, well done to the those on the Society Board who drafted these documents. I know from bitter experience just how difficult and time consuming it is and the ramifications of defining a term loosely that only becomes apparent a later date, when some party takes issue with it.

Never seen a comedy double act with 2 straight men before

Could we have that where the sponsor is?

Wah Wah Wah It’s something relevant to the club I support so I will comment on it whenever it comes up. And as far as I can see two other posters have also contributed to this particular discussion today so we can put your claim that “nobody gives a toss apart from you, apparently” firmly to bed and tuck it in with a nice wee cup of cocoa and a lullaby to help it along its way. So like I say…Wah Wah Wah

Happy he's got nothing to do with us, absolute tosser.

I'm not strict on this type of thing, mainly because moderation already takes up enough of my limited time, topics weave back and forth and people can reminisce and tangents form, major tangents sometimes get a new topic but ultimately, I'm not dealing with it because I've done this for far too long to care now

Its seems to me that now we have brought in Elijah we should have kept Moses on as well, and increased our potential prophets this season.

Only my opinion......but it's fecking HORRID

That’s just your reasoned opinion versus mine, which is completely fair. Based on your response, my post seems pretty balanced: you agreed with four points and disagreed with five. The idea that views like mine somehow equate to pant-wetting insanity is, frankly, madness in itself. The long and short of it is—and this isn’t aimed at you—is that too many are more interested in posting reductive pish to take shots at anyone voicing an opinion, rather than offering anything constructively critical themselves.

I just wish once,,,,, just once, that we’d sign a pacey winger, a Chris Humphrey, a Marvin Johnson, I’d even celebrate a Lionel ainsworth. I know to some folk just now it’s old fashioned football and they are not “in style” but for the purpose of entertainment and getting to the bye line and whipping a cross in….. give me wingers all day long.

Both are past 30. Both pretty experienced. Both previously right backs who probably don't have the legs for the modern attacking full back role. Both probably more suited to playing in a back three. Do we really need what is effectively two players filling the same role? Had I a choice of the two, I'd probably have renewed McGinn. But given O'Donnell renewed automatically, I'd have chosen to sacrifice McGinn in order to free up a salary for a younger defender with a bit more legs/energy/power.. But, hey, as it is they are both under contract now. I don't know how much value for money we'll get out of that fact, but not much we can do about it now..

Most of my jokes receive that also 🤣🤣

Scottish football is stagnant . All the usual home grown managers play same type of shit football tactically. Learned from the same books probably . One team plays one way so the other sets up to negate that. This along with playing each other 4 times if not more a season does make for boring stuff , boring managers with no room to trying something different . It's boring as fuk to watch. The majority of games in the league now are well below the standard they should be .Maybe someone from outside can bring something different along and bring back a bit of excitement back into a Saturday. I live in hope. And by the by this attitude is reflected in the National team as well. The manager makes watching paint dry seem exciting.

Good following today and a right few roasters among them, pulled one up for trying to wreck a seat,spent about 15 mins punching and throwing a ball about which could easily smacked of an elderly person not bothering a fuck about game,same later when it was 2 each.then there was the masked twat with the flare.

Doesn't mean he's any good. My opinion and many others opinion.

Anybody else developing a growing dislike of these reveal videos?

This coming Saturday 3pm ko at Rockburn Park...Motherwell have stated that it will be an under20s team that will be playing. Before the match, there will be a 7s tournament being held by the East Stand Motherwell group in support of Men's Mental Health charities...this begins at 10am and ends around 1.30pm.

Less popular that section than it was in the seventies.

Do you not feel like that every day on here Joking pal

The luddites are out in force tonight, get the WS to employ a town crier to wander the streets announcing results, or a weekly papyrus scroll nailed to the office door to help the technologically challenged keep up to date.

full adult membership got you one share in the society, each and every member would only ever have one share, it was the very essence of the sales pitch to own a share. (To then own the club) Any ongoing fees were for the maintenance of benefits,, (rarely delivered and often changed as club realised they carried the cost of benefits which was then changed) even the initial switch to monthly standing order deposits was to allow payment towards a full adult membership . As the Society board were given targets by the then club board to grow membership to viable numbers.. many opted away from the benefits (which have been vaguely delivered since and to date) to use monthlies to join up family members etc to grow membership numbers. If I had the energy I’d contest the recent board’s interpretation that the switch to monthlies years back didn’t entitle adult members life ownership of their single society share when meeting the adult membership fee, but tbh they’ve pitched their work and got their votes. Good luck to them It’ll be interesting to see the actual impact of the policy , on published membership numbers going forward when they roll out the cancellations

It's not black. It's not fluorescent. It's not jester-ish. That puts it ahead of the game for me. I'd be quite happy if our change kit every season was white with claret and amber trim, but those days have long gone. On the plus side, if we launch a kit you don't like, it will be gone in a season.

The current Boca Juniors top would be an absolute classic in Motherwell colours.

I’d buy that.

A large latte please.

Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom Shankands head, is the size of the Moon.

Christ almighty.

Ask Dundee if Tony was a safe pair of hands. The statement ...... knows the Scottish game and safe pair of hands is why Scottish Football is shite, boring and dying on its arse. Thought you had more imagination than that.

Losing to Sligo over 2 legs is worthy of criticism A new manager losing his 1st friendly in a bounce game to a very competent Dutch side? Cmon man

He doesn't need to!

But dynamic pricing applies...

I asked ChatGPT to "create a post in the style of MJC on steelmenonline.co.uk" Thread Title: "If That’s Our Ambition, Then God Help Us" Posted by MJC Right, I’ve tried to stay off here for a bit but after watching that yesterday I genuinely wonder what’s going on at this club. We’ve just had a pre-season where we’ve allegedly strengthened, yet here we are playing hoofball against a team that finished 9th last season and looked like they couldn’t be bothered to get out of second gear. Is this the grand new era we were promised? More like the same old p*sh, just with a fresh coat of Dulux. The manager says “the boys gave everything” – aye, well if that’s everything, we’re in for a long season. No shape, no urgency, no clue. And as for some of the new signings – honestly, I’ve seen more presence in a ghost town. We let players go, tell the fans we’re building something, then turn out a performance like that and expect folk to pay £25 a ticket and clap like seals? Sorry, not for me. Call me negative (as usual) but unless there’s a serious wake-up call, we’ll be sleepwalking into another relegation scrap by Halloween. Anyway, I’ll leave it there before I say something I’ll regret.

Me to, first thought we had re-signed Elliot Frear!

Being transferred is a bit different. I was talking more about the players that choose to move on rather than re-sign, like Hastie, McKinstry, McAlear etc.

Its all ancient history ffs nobody gives a toss apart from you apparently, so can we start discussing the present challenges facing the club, and not what some long forgotten manager allegedly said or did 18 years ago

Folk say this all the time when talking about McGhee. What would he (or whoever might have been incharge at the time) have had to have done (or said) for people to say anything otherwise?

He remains a legitimate point of discussion for that very reason and he manages in the same division so we will come across him. He’s had plenty of opportunity, and will likely have again, to recant on his reasons for leaving. For the sake of his new wife I hope he doesn’t behave in his personal life as he did in his professional, as an apparent total lack of insight into personal limitations and willingness to acknowledge mistakes never bodes well for a strong relationship. On the other hand, as a Well fan, I hope he carries on his managerial career as he left us as that will guarantee a Killie side fighting relegation.

First season as a Motherwell fan?

"Do you....Stuart Kettlewell take thee to be your lawful wedded wife?" 'I do.....but before I get to that....can I just say how I signed Theo Bair and if the best man tells any bad stories about me I will storm off in a huff and give an interview to Derek Oprah Mcgregor ' 🤣🤣🤣 Ps. Yup....still raging 🤪🤪🤪🤪

I won't be the manager ever. So no need to dig me out eh. I'm entitled to my opinion the same as everyone else. I pay my money to see Motherwell the same as everyone else.

Stama has at least shown he has the talent/ability to score goals at our level. Whether he can stay fit long enough to prove that remains to be seen. I still hold out some hope for him, as he could still be a player that we can develop and sell on.

I think having a big powerful striker in our squad would be good to have as an option. Always good to have different options to try during games or against different opposition or in varying weather and field conditions.

Think the collar would do with more amber, it looks a bit Hertzish which is no doubt why their biggest fan loves it.

Mark McGhee Mark McGhee drinking bottles of whisky!

Scott Tiffoney is pish.
