A fit Moult is a quality player. He also cares about the club and would likely take the pay as you play deal. I'm pro any decent "well player coming back, appreciate not everyone is. For me Faddy, Pearson, McDonald, Hammell, Lasley, Craggs are all good examples. Phil Odonnel returned when he was 32, another player written off due to injuries. , yet in his twighlight years was nothing short of superb and put in a further 77 appearances. Who's to say Moult wouldn't be similar. Having quality pros around, even if they play half the games are good for the first team + all the youngsters who can learn.

VAR has its issues or should I say officials have issues with VAR. However the correct decisions are made more often than not. Those who want it binned would be clawing the roof down if RC had won that game had both decisions not been checked. As for those that whinge because offside is called because its a heel or hand they get right on my titis. what cant they cant seem to understand is that is now the level to which offside is looked at. What do they want, do they want it left vague so its open to interpretation ? all that does is cause more arguments. Its now either offside or its not and that's a good place to be.

In fairness I don’t see anything wrong with naming stands after players and remembering the 91 Cup win, even if it’s a bit frustrating the longer it goes since it happened. But the obsession from the club and a lot of our fans about bringing back ex players is absolutely ludicrous. Obviously it has worked in our favour at times, but it’s the misty-eyed fawning over certain players, particularly Faddy and Moult that is so cringeworthy. We re-signed Faddy for a third time in 2015 when he was 32, clearly done, unfit and had just been released by St.Johnstone a few months earlier. Fast forward a few months and he was player/asst manager. Then in January this year, we cut short a season long loan for Moult because he was crocked and unable to make any sort of impact for us, hardly surprising given that he’d spent the best part of the previous five years on a treatment table, and yet STILL we are getting some of our fans suggesting we should sign him again in the summer! It must be great being an agent of an ex Motherwell player. They could be over 30, injury prone and feeling pretty down about their career prospects. But all the agent needs to do is just remind them that they played for Motherwell and they are suckers for re-signing ex players, so there’s always hope there!

Of course it’s ridiculous talk and it’s only driven by sentiment. Had Moult never played for us and had instead played for Kilmarnock, for example, and been good for them five years ago but been more or less crocked ever since then no one would even be entertaining signing him now. We as a club and a support have become too bogged down in this romanticised idea that bringing popular ex players back is a shrewd move, but we have been stung by it too many times. We literally had Moult here just a few months ago and had to terminate his loan because he couldn’t get fit enough. Indeed, he would actually still be here right now if he has got anywhere near the required fitness standard! Was that not a bit of an indicator that it just wasn’t going to work out? And yet some want us to bring him back again?? Only us!

It was my granddaughters first game today - 3 years old and Just like me in the 60's - she was more interested in the scarf and Tammy and we went to Tim Hortons and left long before the goal we thought was never coming!

People don’t realise that moult on a pay per play deal still causes mayhem from a budgeting perspective. We should have moved on years ago. Hopefully those in charge have similar thoughts

Well done and deserved Max

Thats my biggest issue with VAR it takes far too long to arrive at the decision and the officials are bloody shocking conveying the the outcome. Even after the ref checked the monitor he ran all the way back to Kelly had another wee chat before pointing out that the penalty had been overturned. He should have clearly signalled before that. The fans frustration with VAR would be eased if the Refs were mic'd up as they are in Rugby so everyone knows what going on. How often have we heard the Tannoy announcer saying there is a VAR check after the check has been done and dusted.

Absolutely this! I can't think of any other club that overdoses on sentimentality quite like us, including the arse-cheeks. The "bring back brigade", strip designs linked with the past, naming of stands and the annual 91 wankfest give me the boak to be honest. Moult will always have a place in our hearts, but his days of playing at the level we require are over. Keep sentiment to watching repeats of Dad's Army.

It gets a lot of stich but I think VAR has been really good for us so far can't see many descisions that have went against us and quite a few for

Thats it Allan. Of the two I prefer Obika but thats on limited evidence. They both lack pace but are physical, hold the ball up well and create space for an out and out goalscorer like KVV or Moult. .

You should have bookmarked this.

Shields has 5 goals in 14 appearances with Queens Park this season. Moult has 1 goal in 12. However, if I was a betting man, I'd bet SK isn't looking at either option to replace KVV.

If it’s of no detriment to the club financially why would we not have him in for a preseason . Can’t see why some people wouldn’t think that is worth a gamble . Doesn’t work out …. Ok move on . But if it does happy days . Its not something that I’m getting over exited about either way but wouldn’t completely Bin the idea . No reason to .

I'd take Moult back easy. Full pre-season, Pay as You Play deal.

I’d like us to give Moult a short-term pre-season contract to see what's what. It could be drawn up in such a way as to protect both parties. For example, he gets a chance to prove his fitness and, if so, we get first refusal. If he's knackered, he finds another lower-league club before the season starts. I'm sure it could also be done in such a way that we offer him training and medical facilities and we only pay him a nominal fee. Surely something creative can be done, even just to help the guy out at little cost to us. Just a thought

I’d have Louis Moult back if some kind of deal could be built in to the contract to protect the club . I saw enough of him to be convinced in games at tynecastle and McDermott parks that even not fully fit he was class . what’s the harm in getting him in for preseason ,medical etc and take it from there . Surely that has to be worth doing as we’ll have loads of trialists in during that period and he could be properly assessed by our physios as to whether he can cope with the demands of first team football in SPFL If we don’t do it then sure as hell other teams around us will . If it doesn’t work no harm done but if it does ……… we have a player . No brainier for me to at least get him up here . Im sure a contract could be drawn up to suit both parties and after reading that herald article he’s a decent bloke and wouldn’t be hard to deal with .
