daver

I've been told Motherwell have sold all of the allocation they had so tickets now need to be bought at Livingston.

I think they've also had a lot of changes over the summer so difficult to say. I'm hoping we can edge this but the pitch won't help our wide men.

Baws, can't make it now. Anyone else going to see The Cure that night (showing my age)?

Our league form was alright before then but our three games in a week against Celtic seemed to kill off our spirit and left us with a number of injuries. We desperately needed the winter break to recharge our batteries because we were jaded and couldn't handle the number of games in December.

I'm wanting to see Sloth and Cole for the first time and a bit more of Seedorf and Long.

I saw a photo from the Hearts v Stenhousemuir game the other night and the Stenhousemuir away top is a cracker that I don't think many on here would object to us having. Unfortunately I don't know how to post photos but I think it was on the BBC website round-up if anyone can put it up.

I think he was supposed to sign for one of the long list of clubs looking to sign him and pay us the development fee. Oh wait...

Gallagher for me. Absolutely strolled it.

Not long in from my first game of the season. What happened to the free flowing attacking football I was promised? Seriously, they plugged away against a determined Dumbarton team who defended deep and the pitch didn't help either. I've seen us make a mess of this type of game but we could have scored a good few more tonight. Really liked the look of Gallacher and McGuire did well in midfield. Some nice touches (and a few heavy ones too) from Long when he came on.

I can't help but think our social media output has helped us land this deal with Paddy Power seeing it as being a bit unorthodox and tying in nicely with their brand. Hopefully it's a lucrative deal for us as linking up with a bookies won't sit well with some.

Thanks I did say it was a vague memory! Not surprised at all to be wrong.

My only memory of Boghead is the cup game when we struggled to salvage a 1-1 draw. I've got a vague memory of Shaun Teale having a poor game and being at fault for their goal. Not been to their new ground though or seen us play yet this season so looking forward to popping along.

Cheers, I've signed up . I was well off the pace last time round although if I can't forgotten to enter predictions for so many games.

When we played Stjarnan and Mypa we were at a disadvantage because their season was well underway and they were match fit. Anyone know if the Welsh season is underway because that would have helped them?

Yes, the change in style of play was perhaps forced on him last season (he could have persevered with the same approach) and he was fortunate in the way the youngsters came to the fore but it's encouraging that he has identified the attacking style as the way forward. He has gone out deliberately to bring in pace and that perhaps has given the board the encouragement they needed to sign him up.

I'm happy enough that he extended his contract as it provides some stability. However I doubt he will see out the full duration, whether due to us sacking him or another club coming in for him, as there just isn't much stability or loyalty in football these days.

Downloaded and look forward to listening to it. Are you planning to do the prediction league again this season?

I get that to an extent but I think they train at Strathclyde Park and only go to Dumfries for games. Still think it shows a lack of ambition unless he accepts his career isn't particularly going anywhere. I can understand O'Dea more as he's prolonging a career before retirement.

He was their first choice keeper was he not? That's a big drop down from Championship to non-league. Makes you wonder about his ambition (similar to those that dropped down to Rangers) and the money they're paying.

Are you suggesting we made Frear an offer and Robinson saying there's no chance of a return because he knocked us back?

What's the sky box story?

I don't normally buy tops but quite impressed with both tops this year. I might have to resurrect my 5's career for an excuse to buy one.

I'd be surprised if we could get Ariyibi as I assume he's used to wages that are way beyond our pay structure.

Both from Motherwell supporting journalists I think so likely to be reasonably well informed.

I'd like to think we stick to our guns regarding the money we're looking for even if it means he stays with us until the next transfer window. I said it earlier in the thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does a Faddy and starts the season well and gets sold in August.
