I moved up from Yorkshire many years ago, my wife is Glaswegian. Was a season ticket holder at York City for 20 years. I’ve always watched a lot of football up here and still do. Started supporting a guy with learning Dissabilities through work around 7 years ago and we had season tickets at Rangers, his dad had always taken him before he passed away. We both got tired of sitting next to middle aged men screaming bigoted abuse so moved on to season tickets at a Thistle, Accies along with watching every other team we could. As soon as we started watching football at Motherwell we knew it was a special club and the one for us. As part of the disabled supporters association we have met some wonderful people along with staff and other supporters around us. We just love the club and have both said we would never support any other team.

That actually made me do a LOL ...... You’ve started a little earlier than normal Dewell. Is that the same logic as turning down a bunk up wi Gal Gadot because she might have a wiffy fufu?

If we end up with McCormack on loan, some money for Bowman and a freed up wage, and 400k for a youth player, who's under contract, but not even kicked a first team ball I'd say that's a start to the window I wasn't expecting!

Deal is done lads, chill out. Announcement once the window is officially open.

You’ll be lucky to see the bells. You’ve started on the booze far too early.

Unfortunately, I think this could well be the dystopian future that awaits Scottish first team football. Someone commented the other day about Bowman perhaps getting a better goal to game ratio by taking a step down to League 2. League 2 is NOT a step down. If Project Brave does what it’s supposed to, then we will see many more young Scots getting cherry picked by bigger English clubs before playing many if any first team games. The standard of football in Scotland is turgid and there is limited development potential in playing a limited style of football against the same limited teams over and over again. By contrast, any young talent with a good attitude will grow far quicker by going to a bigger club with infinitely more resources and a highly competitive environment. England also has the league structure to loan out and expose young talent to a range of different levels of opposition. And whilst we and other Scottish clubs just like us cannot baulk at £400k, we are only affirming our allotted place in the talent development food chain.

If only there was a way we could take a break from playing for a few weeks and let him recover from any injuries and get back to fitness...

If we can get in the region of £400k plus presumably a decent sell on clause for a 16 year old, then that’s great business. Leeds would be a cracking move for the boy and hopefully we see him in a Scotland shirt one day. However it’s sad if we and Scottish football are getting into a situation where our greatest prospects (e.g. Billy Gilmour) are being signed up by English clubs before fans even get the pleasure of watching the break into the first team. While the national team may be on the up, you wonder about the future of the league.

Seen someone mention josh tymon of stoke, for what it's worth he's one of those football manager wonderkids who goes on to be world class.

I quite like the winter break.if teams, the Old Firm, abuse it with meaningless friendlies overseas, then f*ck them. The last game before the break should be the January derby played no later than the 2nd. The break should end on the first Saturday in February. I get much more frustrated by Internationalbreaks and think the League Cup semi finals being played on a weekend are a farce.

What better way to end 2018 and enter the break than a great derby win. It also gives us a bigger advantage over the bottom 3 teams. A big support, wild celebrations and great away day all told. Happy days indeed. With what we've had to put up this season it was just reward. We thoroughly deserved to win and although the first 45 was tight we clearly dominated the second half being the better team. Not the best football we've ever played but it was definitely an improvement on the hoofball of recent months and we did try to play on the deck. Accies were very poor it has to be said. Whilst they were as streetwise as ever they lacked their usual aggressiveness and abrasiveness. No doubt "Scott Brown Mini Me" MacKinnon was missed. The team played well as a whole but I thought Frear and my MOTM, Aldred, were standouts. Frear added much need pace and Aldred was just immense both in attack and in defence. Both his goals were very well taken and our strikers could learn a thing or two from him. Hartley too played his part. Good to see Adam Livingstone come on and get some more first team experience - hopefully he'lll now kick on. Fair play too to Andy Rose for putting in a good shift just before his departure. We did have some weaknesses though. I wasn't in the least surprised when Accies scored from an incursion down our right flank. That was their 3rd such break down an exposed right flank in the first 17 minutes. In general we played far too narrowly and gave Accies some freedom on our flanks, but fortunately they were pretty toothless and couldn't breach our central defence. Gillespie had very little to do. I wasn't impressed by our strikers who worked hard but achieved little. Its maybe significant that both our goals came from a centre back scoring at set pieces. I wasn't impressed by Nick Walsh who had a poor game from start to finish characterised by inconsistency throughout. It wasn't a dirty game and I'm still at a loss how we picked up 3 bookings. If Mr Walsh had to meet a quota then perhaps he could have dished out yellow cards to our old pal Imrie for nearly starting a riot and Sowah for a very bad challenge on Richard Tait. The gazebo side linesman also made some very dubious calls. On the way to the game I spoke brielfy to Charles Dunne who seems to be making a good recovery thank goodness. A "fit" looking Craig Tanner sat just in front of us. A great day to be a Well fan.

Well said … … … not to everyone’s liking but a really good steady pro who seems to go under the radar doing the dirty shift that is appreciated by those around him Your welcome back at Fir Park anytime Andy All the best in your future career

A special mention to Andy Rose who stepped up in our hour of need to put in a sterling shift. Looked really emotional at the end. I've not been his biggest fan but yesterday he was class. All the best to him.
