So when they as a group collectively decide to boycott the first fifteen minutes of a match at the ground of the club they support, or walk out as a group or disrupt matches by throwing stuff on to the park…is that them valuing their own status more or that of the club? As I said there are decent guys in that group and I believe their intentions are good towards the club, but the saying goes “you are judged by the company you keep”. To me that group have became a bit of a ‘Green brigade wannabe’ bunch over the last few years with their petty grievances and behaviour.

There is a very fine line between actively supporting your club by enhancing the fan experience, the drums, banners, etc and becoming whinging annoying arseholes complaining about how bad they are treated, setting off flares and the like. Nobody has any issues with the drums, the banners, the great support the team gets from those guys, and fair play to them for the effort they put into it, but as has been mentioned before, recently they seem determined to want to brand themselves as some sort of "Motherwell Ultras" with the obvious comparison to those with the"we are always the victims agenda" why does anybody think that setting off and throwing flares in a crowd, both illegal and dangerous and then complaining about heavy hand tactics by the police and club officials to prevent them doing so is an acceptable position? For me if you are determined to put that amount of effort into supporting your team do it in a positive way and forget all of the other shite, it will be a better experience for all fans and the club in general.

You're looking at the wrong VAR image. The one they used has just been released:

Get Slattery out of this club now

Thats your opinion, you're clearly all for them and defend them good and bad so fair do's. Ive seen the best of the bois whilst fund raising etc and ive seen the worst whilst they involve themselves in stupid behaviour both in and out of the stadium. I think most fans would rather they didnt get involved in the stupid stuff, granted its only a small section of the bunch but please dont try and defend it as ive seen it with my own eyes. How you can call it a myth that if they dont deal in disororder then the club employees or police wont bother them is a strange slant but again, fair do's 🤷‍♂️

Onto today's game and a view from the terrace last night done good article on us and praise for KVV, Deano and Danno. I don't think many of us expect a win today and would happily take a point if offered but you know what this hoodoo needs to end sometime so why not today...COYW

It was the St.Johnstone game at the start of the season that they threw stuff on the park at the start of the second half, supposedly in protest about mistreatment they had received at St.Mirren the week before or something, happy to be corrected if wrong on that one. I’ve said this before on here, I don’t like the Well Bois. There are obviously some decent lads in their section but a lot of them seem to value their status as a group more than the club itself and their behaviour at certain away grounds is questionable, to say the least. Not to mention invading the park and throwing objects, the latter of which has happened on more than one occasion from that area of FP in games against Rangers, hopefully we don’t see that today. And then when they inevitably attract unwanted attention due to the above they cry about heavy handed policing. Again, very Green Brigade.

Not getting in big debate about this, I would rather focus on match. Have said before that my mates lads are part of that section and are great lads that bring great support......however there is definitely an element that cause bother and maybe the Bois should concentrate on them and getting them removed from that section. Hope it all gets resolved and everyone can support club in the correct manner......COYW

I'm sorry but I don't agree with them. The behaviour in Kilmarnock earlier in the season was appalling, CCTV footage was widely shared by Ayrshire and Lanarkshire police on social media of numerous fans smashing up a pub, heehaw to do with the club that certain individuals were subjected to dawn raids they were simply traced via that method. They're having a go about being refused entry to the club but has there not been a few displays this season and plenty others in the past, one of which required pulleys over the support beams in the East Stand which was catered for. As for the Rangers game banner tomorrow, the feedback seems to be that they were free to display one but they were refused access to Fir Park to put it together which is fair enough. As far as I'm aware the drum has been to every home game this season, even the young ones in the Cooper stand have one these days, funnily enough I'm sure it was mentioned previously that the guy that they constantly moan about collects the drum at away games to stop it from getting stolen (Ironically enough some of the wee tadgers stole one off of Raith fans). Maybe I'm just getting too old but I throughly enjoyed the atmosphere that they created when McCall was manager but these days its transcended into smoke bombs (we have been chased for cash to repair pitches etc), those ticker tape rolls that they have launched on the pitch delaying the game, fans entering the pitch from that section has risen or generally trying to be wee Stone Island hard men.

Coyne and arnott were better in my opinion.

Putting the iffy 3rd goal to one side , rangers looked in total control of a game we were rarely in. Not this season , or last couple of years but this century had been horrendous in the league against the old firm . Frustrating that we need to revert to old YouTube vids to remember a time when we had decent players . Not an easy fix but it’s past the point of frustration that we get our asses handed to us each and every time .

I think because for some reason they are not supposed to get involved unless it’s to suggest it’s a red or to downgrade a red. Yellow or not decision is not within their scope apparently.

So because its not your opinion its tired repetition, many many fans share my tired and repetitive view. The bois can do no wrong in your eyes and as ive said, fair do's, carry on, makes not a jot of difference to me. We wont agree but to start swearing on a forum at me due to a difference of opinion is kinda sad given that we support the same team but again, fair do's 🤷‍♂️

So you say. Why then the representations being offered to the club from many in the fanbase who are not attached in any way to the group and concerned parents alike? I’ve already said it wouldn’t be my choice of protest. It’s certainly a starting point. If it had disrupted the matchday experience of the holier than thou the same folk would moan instead of mockery.

I agree re Cornelius he was very poor today, all over the place, ball watching all game, very rarely picked a runner up. As for Slattery his stupid tackle cost us the 1st goal and he had a poor game but tbf he's been a better looking player under SK, so I would not be too harsh on him.

Aye. OK. You added fuck all to any debate anyway.

Wrong formation and tactics from the 1st minute, sitting back letting teams like Rangers come on to you, with no press only ever ends one way in defeat. The rangers defence is average at best but we never went for them after we scored and ultimately got what we deserved from the game nothing. Defensively we were brutal today, too many ball watchers not marking up. But all that said anything today would have been a big bonus, we have more important games coming up to save the season

My take on it the Ref and VAR had a decent game, both goals onside, Slattery cost us with his needless foul for the first goal and getting sent off for a flaling arm. Not a bad performance against a decent Rangers team we gave them a game. Thought Van Venn was excellent today. Rangers were the better team and deservedly won on the day we move on

On slattery’s foul, I don’t agree with it either, but he just can’t help himself giving away stupid fouls and the constant diving doesn’t help because the referees are all wise to it now

That Cantwell is another detestable cheating bastard that Rangers have acquired. Mop headed prick.

Obika injured now as well I take it? No doubt that’ll be the last we see of him this season too now. That team is never scoring today.

You would be surprised what I know on this issue but I'll leave that as vague as you do with your insider gossip. It kind of reminds me of that time where a supporter lamps Jim Leighton on the pitch then he gets huckled by the police then days later when he gets banned for life he's complaining in a paper that the club didn't support him. The situation in Kilmarnock was embarrassing while it's sad an innocent person might have had an unpleasant wakeup call no accountability was taken on that behaviour they immediately passed the buck when people started to get busted. It's not hard to just behave for 90 minutes at the game or en route to a stadium. Like I said previously I loved it in the past when they were all about the atmosphere. Please correct me if I'm wrong but have they not now had issues with the last few safety officers. In regards to banners etc the club has generally been accommodating to them much more so than other clubs are to there fans. Have they not a similar protest before where they strolled in late, plus I'm sure they done something against Aberdeen in the first VAR game where they threw that ticker tape stuff on the pitch.

Our 2-1 victory in 1994, coynes pass to arnott..... unbelievable

If well Bois not there at the start it's up to the other 3,500 well season ticket holders to create a great atmosphere which I am sure they will. We have had a great passionate support long before the well Bois were on the scene. Let's all concentrate on ending this 20 years plus hoodoo .... COYW
