Well Mrs Grizzly and I ran the Glasgow 10K this morning and raised nearly £800 for Marie Curie A well win please for a glorious double COYW 🏃‍♀️🏃

You really are an arsehole, have a look at yourself ffs🤦‍♂️

I'm starting to think you've never seen youngsters integrated into new teams before. Giving them a 10 minute workout in a game with no pressure is pretty standard. Otherwise you end up with fans posting on websites calling them dug shite because they hadn't got up to speed instantly with their new team mates the first 60 minutes they played.

Stuart Kettlewell once spoke for 13 games without taking a breath.

I put this lady on block a year ago because I was fed up with the constant victimhood when things don't go her way. She chips away at people opinions like picking a sore and if the discussion gets to the stage where someone is giving as good as they get, and she has no answer, the tears and snotters and victim card are played with relentless monotony. So far easier for me to put on block , she could do likewise to people she doesn't like or agree with or as has been suggested, if abusive, report. But no we get the full on drama and flouncing away , no doubt to return in a couple of weeks . I would also respectfully suggest if you cannot handle other people opinions and some rather robust opinions a football fan forum is not the place to be. Anyone may call me anything they like , I might not like it , I might not agree with it but I'll forever defend your right to say it.

This post unfairly singles me out. Since our last proper interaction on 30 March 2024, when you sent unsolicited private messages that I ignored, I haven’t engaged with you in any meaningful way. Referencing me here now is misleading and inaccurate. It’s also concerning that you keep dragging me into posts without reason. Frankly, I'm pissed off that your nonsense post has forced me to directly engage with you again. For the record, on 30 March 2024, here and here, we had a bit of a public back-and-forth, after which you sent two private messages. I ignored them and have deliberately avoided debating you since. Your forum behaviour follows a clear pattern. Personal experiences and private matters are brought into football discussions as a defence whenever someone disagrees with you and then the unsolicited private messages start. Stop involving me or making false accusations in future posts.

I need to give a shout out to Sods - a player I've given a lot of stick too last year I was pleased he was playing on Saturday and not put a foot wrong this season Well done my man

The post here was upvoted because it contents resonated, rather than eager to slate you (inevitably you default to the negative), I would hope most, like me, would have hoped for some introspection and a change in behaviour because often threads are taken off on a tangent, often any fun sapped out. Alas, as sure as the sun will rise in the East tomorrow, a well worn and predictable cycle returns. The moderators must have shared the same eyebrow raise when you used my name here considering it is what was cited as "bang out of order" and set you off a year ago. The mock outrage at the time is now shown to be disingenuous and lacking any hint of self awareness not to recognise the hypocrisy of you now doing so. But that was never what it was about eh? This was only ever done to be provocative because that's the soup you swim in. How many of your nine lives have you used up on here? Fair play to the moderators, they have patience well in excess of mine for all the extra work you bring them in what is unpaid and often a thankless task. I don't know if you followed through on your threat to contact the club CEO, or it was felt the not so cryptic posts on social media were enough. The problem is you take things into the real world to denigrate and negatively influence others, the very thing you cite as being a victim of, you also employ with gusto. You were asked without any ambiguity to cease engaging, slandering or invoking me and here we are again. You really can't help yourself. Strike Two.

Jesus we have some amount of bed sh1tters in our fan base. We are 5 games into a season with a new manager, playing the best football Ive seen Motherwell play in 50yrs. We are sitting 6th but I think everyone knows with a little bit of fortune we would be sitting 3rd. I think folk should take a chill pill and calm down. Our manager also talks sense and it’s never word soup and I have every faith we’ll be in a Hampden semi final by this time next week.

Just back from the game and I'm seriously pissed off and I'm annoyed at myself for being pissed off because we are a good watch and but for another dreadful defensive laps wed have won. That's 5 games played and we've been the better team in every game. During the GA and SK era Id have bitten your hand off for what I'm watching now ....but ....there's always a but...the final third is woeful AP just doesn't cut it for me, Said does a ton of work but fuck me dithers about in possession and quite often loses it in great positions. If Manwanhise is the player we think he is he should be burying that one on one, no composure piss poor effort straight at the keeper. Defensively we still gift goals that would embarrass a pub team. That was a hard take , at half time we were an absolute joy but by full time we gifted an utterly woeful Dundee a point and could have lost it. So so frustrating.

I think for the majority of people it’s fine, if I were just going myself or with my kid, great no problem, it’s the modern way of things. We just download and app and accept it is what it is. my issue is with older people and I know many who are completely lost in the modern world and rely heavily on others. Football and going to football is the only enjoyment in their life usually and they are being made feel like sh1t and made feel like they can’t go to games such as this. Part of their life was nipping up to the ticket office and getting a ticket… easy. Now they go up and no fault to the staff there, they are being punted to find someone elsewhere who can help them out. It’s a shame and for us as a community club I think we are alienating a dedicated fan base of oldies who we should be supporting.

I sometimes lose hope there's good I the world then reading someone has paid to meet Kettlewell and wound up meeting JBA it reminds you......good things do happen

If JBA turns us into a stable, top-six possession side by the end of the season, he’ll inevitably be poached. That doesn’t mean game over though. It means we’ve built that identity, and the job is simply to bring in another manager to continue it. I trust the new Chairman to do exactly that. The trajectory is now set regardless of who’s in charge. The aim obviously isn’t winning the league every year. It’s stability, entertaining football, European qualification, and a decent cup run or two.

I’m not keen on the 5.30 ko as at last years semi the amount of absolute steamers turning up was ridiculous. Having another couple of hours for them to get tanked up is a nightmare. I like a pint but I never get folk going to big games half or full Jaked. I love taking in these games and remembering them. Wanting to fight with folk round about you and screaming nonsense pi5hed and then falling asleep is for the brain dead.

Yeah he’s just been punted from the ticket office this morning and told to find someone with a smartphone. i will try and get them but i think that’s fkn disgraceful to be honest.

I know it's hard for folk to see it right now and I in no way excuse his shocker but he had some outstanding saves, we could have been down and out before his fuck up.

Love the style Motherwell playing out from the back , wouldn't change it but needs fine tuned and a bit of common sense when half the opposition are in your penalty box.

From the moment they equalised that was only going one way. They were in full panic mode and didn't know what to do. Qué the goalie literally handing them a goal and their tails were up. Never got a foot on the ball from that moment on.

I know I don’t think I’ll ever sit in the directors box again 🤣

I am the anti MJC. 😂

I think his link up play was good, still flying the AP flag

Totally deserved win and a great goal to clinch it. Off to Hampden for the second season running. Our year? It could well be. Finally, Get it right up Aberdeen and their obnoxious supporters. ”Alexa…play BBC Radio Scotland”

Rejoice. That’ll be no more strange DM’s.

The Club need to let folk know how to deal....officially...with a situation like this? Also the Society should be pushing the Club to provide some clarification. If, as mentioned earlier, folk are being turned away and told to find someone with a smartphone then that is a disgrace and does not reflect well on our ticket office. You would think that every effort would be made to ensure anyone wanting to attend the game can do so. I get this is being driven by the SFA but our Club and our Society should be addressing the issues that are clearly of concern to fans looking to go to the final. The info that was provided in the press release and the off the cuff advice from the ticket staff seem to be at odds. The instructions do confirm tickets can be transferred but only to people who have also downloaded the App. No mention of one phone with multiple tickets being acceptable. No mention of children.... or others...who do not have a smartphone. Lessons to be learned here.

But surely you would accept that our style of play means any gk who plays for us will potentially make the same error. I accept it’s a bad mistake but I am not sure what is achieved by hounding him out. like I said earlier he on numerous occasions broke their press with his passes to open up the play.

This was never going to be instant success though. The manager keeps going on about the learning process here. Mistakes will be made. We just have to accept this. I feel a lot on here are being way too critical of the team, you need to look at the bigger picture.

To lose 3-2 at sellik and be gutted shows how much progress we have made but I hate criticising players but that's 6pts Ward has cost us. No point playing all that good football when you have a keeper that does that.

Really looking forward to this one today, but it’s the hope that kills you in the end. As I said before, a draw would be a good result.

Don't you come round here brandishing facts. That's not what we do round here..

Sounds like a great day, must have been awkward when he said the team has looked stronger since Slatts has been injured!!.......Lol....just kiddin 😜😜

I met JBA yesterday - bid to meet Ketts last Christmas through the well society auction and then was supposed to be going for a meal with Wimmer -he had a flat tyre the day we were supposed to meet him. Super thanks to Greg from the well society for taking me and my mum out for lunch that day and picking us up at Hamilton too Big thanks to Sally too - for your kindness and patience. I'm going to drop off a gift for you and Greg soon Jens is super nice - and he put up with all my questions (I talk a lot).

Just once would be enough!

Luckily there are no overpaid arrogant arsehole football players or you'd need to give up watching the game.

In my opinion, if it genuinely was for personal reasons then it’s never a mistake to put family first.

You are correct mate European Football leaves me completely cold. Couldn't care if I never saw another European game ever again. Although I accept if we have a great season, which Id always want , that comes as part of it. Id never spend a single penny going abroad to watch a European game again Seen it done it , the novelty's past and our efforts in general have been dismal in our 38 outings. Happy to say I was fortunate to watch our best performance away (Dortmund) but all the rest, other that Odense and Nancy, have been a whole lot of nothing in my view. The money is a bonus I know but I never started supporting Motherwell to watch a balance sheet. I watch for excitement , drama and decent football and European football , for us, has produced very little of that. I don't expect anyone else to agree its just a personal opinion. For others who love it, great lap it up, if it arrives.

Not any worse than the nonsensical S***e you post on here before every match. I know an emoji wasn't used so you must have been the only one who realised it was a joke

1-2 defeat

One that will test my falling capacity for Alcohol One that proves I cant hit a golf ball One that proves I've got double vision on a pool table One that proves I have some of the best mates in the world And hopefully one that sees my team going to a semi final 🤣

Battle of ex well managers tonight in cup as killie take on St Mirren Should be a classic as both managers connoisseurs of wonderful attractive football. Yep......that is sarcasm from moi

Aw feck. That's me just been blocked by 50 folk!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hope you ok Well girl. I'm saddened to see that affect on anyone. Maybe you could get help if your struggling. I respect you and think your posts are decent. I hope you don't let anyone get you down to extent it looks like it has. As you said. You don't know them , and they don't really know you. It's easier for people to be more extreme in conversation when they are anonymous to extent. Keep spirits up.

There was someone on here who made a post directed at me saying thank god you don't post on here often. You're all over everything like a cheap suit. At that point I was lying in bed with a broken nose and two black eyes - someone had tripped me up coming out of a gig the night before. There was someone else on here that made a comment saying - your posts are irrelevant - just like you.. I honestly do feel like I get more personal grief than anyone else on these boards - and no one is going to stick around for more. There is one person on here that posted horrible lies about me that nearly broke me - and they are still up. One thing I will say - if you do that to me again - I'm going back to the well society - because the stuff you posted was completely defamatory - and you're the reason why I need to get off these boards. (wellfan) (steelboy) And when Stephen made that post at me. Loads of people lined up to like it - when the post I made originally wasn't about him, people couldn't wait to like anything that slated me - you know when you aren't liked which is sad because none of us actually know one another. That was the post where I should have left here - folk lining up to like his post. Im pretty much devastated at that - but it is what it is I've been on here since 2007 but I feel like a complete outcast as some people have made it very that they hate me. See you on the other side x Pauline

Not a happy clapper but can I just point out we have yet to lose a competitive game this season. Yes some frustrating results but jeez give me this style ahead of the dross we were served under previous managers. I really like JBA and I am sure we will progress under him.

I’m very pro our style of football and again thought we were excellent in the first half . our midfield is so much stronger than I can remember in the majority of the 45+ years of following us . the final third for me is an issue and I’m not just saying AP who looks devoid of confidence . we have a lots of players who’s final ball is pretty dreadful and that’s an issue. Several flatter to decisive a little, they have pace and strength but lack the same quality of the midfield . perhaps it will all come together but the majority of our forwards I don’t think offer that much . just to be clear I’m not slagging off any players here nor have any doom and gloom - a little frustrated yes and would like to see a touch better quality in the final 3rd

Can't lose, Won't lose.

How did you get on?

It would certainly raise legitimate questions about why he isn’t able to feature for us (in what would be three games in a row if he isn’t involved on Sunday) yet can be picked for his National side. For now though we can assume that he is now back fit and will be in the squad for the game v. Celtic. On a side note I fucking detest international football and these breaks during a season are an absolute nuisance.

Let's no bother playing it then...ffs

Yer not kidding, see the amount of errors that slattery made last season!!...........just teasing 🤣🤣

Hopefully today Stama can get amongst the goals and then go on a good run. Plenty incentive as world cup next year. Knowing us he will get a hat-trick but we will lose 4-3 due to Ward selling 3 goals. If Ward starts today which i think he will then this is last chance saloon
