I might miss this game as it’s ANZAC day Friday long day starting at dawn for Dawn Service so up at 0400 muster with me mates after service have a gunfire breakfast an hour later getting ready for the parade then back to the club for two-up and the usual routine I have been known to be MIA for a couple of days…. Anyway COYW Lest we forget

Having mcginn odonnell and Halliday signed up for next season is criminal. If Tony watt is added to the list I may actually combust. There’s room for 2 of them at the very most and that could be argued is generous

Hi Everyone David Blacklaw here. Just over a year ago I seen some posts on Social Media about the Well Society looking for volunteers to assist with some up and coming Workstreams that they had identified as key area’s and these aligned with my priorities. I duly got involved and you may have seen me at the Well Society Days with Balloons and Stickers sharing the Well Society message, or welcoming all the members to our recent fantastically successful comedy night in the Davie Cooper Suite. On our recent trip to Aberdeen saw me take ownership in the form of leading one of the Buses for Supporters from Fir Park. I have also been working very closely with Sally on the Membership workstream where we are taking the time to call Well Society Members to reconnect with our members, find out what is important to them and encourage feedback on what we can improve on. Also working on the Well Society Junior Steel engagement push. I actually got the chance to call Ex Motherwell legend Keith Lasley whose son was a member of the Junior Steel group. I think he was more shocked than me 😂😂. For the future of The Well Society, I see a vibrant and growing community that continues to expand its reach and impact. We will enhance and diversify our programs and services to better support the well-being of our members and the wider community, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of promoting health, happiness, and resilience. I see The Well Society creating a sustainable, long-term future of our Club through strategic initiatives and partnerships. By focusing on measurable outcomes and continuous improvement, we will ensure that our efforts lead to lasting positive change for our members, the club and the communities we serve." Thank you for your time and I would appreciate if you can vote for me in the upcoming Well Society Board elections. Please also pass onto family and friends that are also Well Society Members. 🙏🙏 Please reach out with any questions. Mon the Well!!!

Sorry but one good game dosent deserve a contract cause soon as it was signed on the dotted line Watt would be back to below par run outs lets not kid ourselves on here. Its time to move on.

What concerns me isn't about any individual who's recruiting , more the general direction we've gotten into. Over the last decade we've transitioned from bringing in 7-8 new players and regularly brining in 16-20. There's a lot less of the younger crew coming through on a regular basis and we're going from full overhaul one season to a next. We've always had budget constraints , for me we're being really wasteful and the approach needs to change.

Not to mention Club Call 🤦‍♂️

Lennon Miller wins the PFA Young Player of the Year. Congrats.

I've been involved online with MFC since early 96, the mailing list, then the yahoo group, chat room and here. It may have been down to who was online at the time but debates were sensible for the most part since it was mostly real names and probably the lack of teenage presence etc. Holy shit that's almost 30 years. I approached the club in May 96 about setting up a website, had a meeting with John Swineburn with grand ideas of what we have now, only to be told that the internet was a fad, that no one would want access to the club's history (Keith and Graham's book) instant news updates etc could be gotten on teletext, every idea or suggestion of use was shot down into flames.

I know I shouldn't say this as a supporter but I really couldn't give a flying fuck about this game. I'm fed up watching utter pish and the same ineptitude from the same squad of players. Every week's it's pretty much rinse and repeat with the occasional rise above mediocre crap. I just want this season ended.

Get a grip ffs, how is getting beat by a team as equally shite as us this season embarrassing? Very poor, disappointing, etc etc but embarrassing i don't think so

Also applies to Jake Hastie's career choices.

Exactly!blows my mind reading I would give him another year or two one good game in about 19 games and it merits a contract. No value in signing him whatsoever and not telling me we can't get our hands on a younger version that has the same attributes nah we have enough retained now the rest can leave let's just build around what we have and push on.

Not because of yesterday but I’d sign Watt (reasonable wages of course) he’s not injury prone, experienced, can actually control a ball and pass, decent level, just needs kept in line for fitness and attitude. As good as or better than a lot of the signings we’ve made the past couple of years.

A fiver to turn friends into enemies? Bargain!! 😁

Some amount of pant wetting going on around here of late. Looking forward to when we scud this lot, and end up cruising to a fairly standard 7th or 8th place finish. You'd think we were the side five points adrift at the bottom going by the patter on this forum.

Your replies to my posts suggest you do engage with my opinion, so, as you say, keep being you...

On last nights evidence I would be trying to secure Seddon again next season. He is probably the best LB, LWB and LCB at the club and has looked pretty decent in all of those positions. Add into the fact that it has been a problem position for us and he seems like a pretty good sort to have around the place, it seems a no brainer to me. Only issue I would have would be his fitness as he hasnt been available to play much this season. However, I dont recall their being any issues with injuries previously, so maybe he was just a victim of the SK Hex!

The gaffer said

Ironically, we need Derek McInnes' Killie to beat Derek McInnes' Hearts to finish 7th.

I remember John Swinburne , proper old school guy Changed days indeed 30 years on where you can now get everything at the click of a button Remember back in the day I would buy the match programme , the Motherwell times, check teletext for any news that was happening Younger generations would laugh 😂 and think no way did that happen

Hi All. Just a wee quick note to thank everyone who took the time to vote for me. Was not to be this year and congrats to the 2 guys voted in. They will do a tremendous job. I’ll be back.

I have no doubt about all of those things about Kettlewell but he went down in my estimation with the way he left the club and basically throwing support under a bus to cover up his failings. We move on. I really like Wimmer, comes across as a really good guy and ahmut a great assistant and link between players and manager. Looking forward to seeing what players we sign

As much as SODs might be nice guy, and the players might like him as a person, the number of important goals he’s cost us over his time with the club is significant. Can’t believe he got another years contract. Hells bells.

As long as he’s fit he’s definitely worth another year. Hopefully we’ll see a number of new faces who wimmer knows from Austria or Germany this summer. on a separate note, I saw a picture of fir park today and the surface looks like it’s the first day of the season. Absolutely incredible job these groundsmen do.

Best bit of content since the Peter Hartley on the wee piano video!

For the glass half empty brigade......get that feckin glass full tonight!!. Ahhhh happy days

It's amazing how the mood of a game can create that kind of chaos. And if Forbes hadn't missed the pen, we would never have had the pleasure of that finish.

I predict MJC will predict 2 0 Dundee and predict we wont win another game this season and predict that we end up in the play off spot.

Give them Kettlewells phone number .

Kcuf em? 🤣🤣

I don't understand how he can be perceived as the best option. He conceded a ridiculous amount of goals for St Mirren , we've had the same issue. I get why he was drafted in when Ox got injured and the loanee got injured but why Ox isn't been given the gloves back is beyond me.

“ two up “ sounds better you can have the breakfast grizzly 🫣🤣🤣

If we want to progress and finish higher than the teams above us in the league, I think we need to stop signing players they have let go. They are letting them go for a reason. Tony Watt should be a great example of that. Similarly with Halliday albeit he has done a job this season. There will always be exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking we should be looking at getting younger more dynamic players with a bit of pace (ability) with the prospect of developing them. We have enough old experienced legs in our squad as it is. Dont think we need any more.

I just don’t understand the Halliday love? Each to their own and all that but I think in general apart from maybe a couple of games he’s been poor. his first thought when he gets a ball is to win a foul, he spends 60mins of each game on his ar5e. He rarely creates anything, rarely pushes forward and struggles to track back. as mentioned each to their own but he’s not for me and I’d be letting him go.

I’ve a feeling that we might get an offer or two for Slattery over the summer and if it’s enough then he will be away.

If Tony Watt is with us on a 1 year contract with an option of a further year I shall weep a river of tears that's throwing money down the toilet that could be used to bring in someone that will actually be useful on a weekly basis. Sorry we have retained enough it's now time to use resources on some fresh faces.

They should count themselves lucky to be still be at the club.

Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand. Played at halftime of the 2005 CIS Cup Final. Despite the way the game was going, I seem to remember the Well end bouncing along to it. I probably wouldn't remember it as well but the game has additional significance on a personal level for me, so others might not remember it...

I wouldn't shed a tear at any of the current squad leaving

Having seen the replays, I agree it was a 100% red card. I can also see why Dundee's 2nd goal was disallowed. At the very least, Robertson was distracting Ox. However, I suspect that it was for his movement towards Thompson. Had he been stationed out on a wing I would share Dundee's resentment. I understand Tony Docherty's ire at the officiating but he failed to mention it in relation to Dundee's win over us earlier in the season. What goes around comes around.

Fantastic result and 100% satisfaction to win in that manner.

If he’s the answer, I’m unsure what the question is. Awful

Great news, Hopefully that adds a few zeros to his transfer fee over the summer.

A very good point but I think that our no claims bonus us is well and truly shot.

Not having a go but I would quite like to see an MJC league table like the BBC used to do with Mark Lawrenson's predictions. I'm not sure we'd hit double figures.

But it’s easy to say “much ado about hee haw” once the games finished and the result is known….isn’t it?

Stama wasn't played properly by Kettlewell at first, was playing the lone striker role. When we went 2 up top with Stama and Maswanhise they were looking a good partnership. I am not writing Stama off yet , a full pre season and hopefully wimmer can get best out him.

You prompted me to have a look at who we signed and who from SPL clubs. From what I can see we must have signed 13 players who have hardly or haven't kicked a ball. From Scotland - Callaghan, Robinson, Watt, Tavares all from SPL clubs. Summer signings from elsewhere - Stam Koutrombis, Stupavic, Hegyi, Kaleta - almost all a complete waste of time and effort. Add to that the winter list of Ward, Plange, Mair, Dickson. Honestly would get better joy from a lucky bag.

Don't let fitness put you off, if you can afford it, play I've done it multiple times now and it never gets old, except my knees, those feel like an 80 yr olds

There's been a couple of times in the last 5 or 6 years when were were in deep shit. The post police charge collapse under Robinson and the whole Hammell era which only came into being because another manager was forced out the club. Motherwell fans need to get a grip. In the natural order we are a Bottom 6 club every season and the only time we aren't are when we over achieve and others underachieve. 'That prat' had this team Top 6 all season, achieved a semi final, saved us from relegation once and had us comfortable last season. Sure it's a little bit nervy going into the last stage of the season but the only non city team that's better than us this term is St Mirren and then only by a small margin. Our fans need to get some perspective and stop the doom/crisis/it's never been worse/gut the club cycle.
