They ask what your view is on Tom Boyd - the answer given proves who the well fans are

Having watched both Rangers and Celtic today, I dont see anything for us to be worried about. Rangers are a bit more solid than Celtic defensively but they look pretty toothless. Celtic have more going forward, but they have been extremely wasteful of late and are wide open at the back. They only won today because Aberdeen played the whole second half with 10 men. Not saying we will win both games or even one of them. But they are not the scarey proposition they used to be. If we turn up and play our usual game and dont make any stupid errors we will compete and hold our own with both of them. As for Hearts. Yes they are a good team and are well clear at the top, but they have also failed to beat us twice, so lets give ourselves a little bit of credit!

If we had a goalscorer we would be top of the league right now.

Yes, we don't want to turn Fir Park into another version of Parkhead or Ibrox. Keep politics well out of Fir Park.

From the far side of the world To all Steelmen on Line have a great day. COYW

Cant be bothered starting new topic so hope everyone has a great Christmas and at this time of year spare a thought for Mrs Grizzly and my family as they have to endure Christmas cracker jokes plus my own ! 🤪🤪

If the last six months have taught us anything, it’s that JBA knows exactly what he’s doing at Motherwell, so I fully expect a good January transfer window.

I am finding it ironic in the extreme to hear of Ian McCall, of all people, complaining of anyone being "disrespectful" in any context whatsoever. I just ask myself how respectful was he being when he shat in Simon Stainrod's shoe?

I’ve just had the displeasure of listening to that little rodent Ian mcall on bbc. Tom English and Michael Stewart bigging us and our manager up and him coming back with JBA being disrespectful to Scottish football ?? And how he’s seen us play 3 times and we’ve only scored one goal. an absolute dinosaur with jealousy ripping out him.

You are that confident we will get 2 penalties awarded then? As that seems to be the only way he will score. I know it was a tounge in cheek remark, but would love you to be correct and he does score 2 from open play, but ive seen nothing from him so far that suggests that will happen.

I have absolutely no time for him, or his political party, but think that leaving the officials to get on with their job is a better policy. They get enough abuse from every angle without adding any personal grief for what they do beyond football.

Have a great Christmas 🎄 every Well fan. Enjoy and hopefully more to celebrate over the festive period

If you'd told me this time last year that we'd soon be arguing about whether we had the strength in depth to be considered genuine title contenders I'd have laughed in your face. However this season ends up, that's progress!

The only absolute certainty is that we won't get 5.

Still buzzing after today’s result. Ok the performance maybe wasn’t as good as some games but having watched FB/insta clips from media team it reinforces JBA comments about not getting frustrated - its obvious that players are totally bought into his system and approach and got the rewards for perseverance. In summary, it’s just a great time to be a Well fan

Absolutely. We’re not a ‘darling club’ of the Scottish media like Celtic, Aberdeen or Dundee Utd so we’re always going to attract negative press from those who see us doing well as being upstarts who are daring to do better than we should be. And the fact that we’ve got an outsider leading us and making it all happen compounds it for them.

I'm voting for Said today. Even though he was only a sub, I thought his introduction helped boost the energy and tempo we needed in the second half.

RCC has been disappointing

Was going to say same but you Just Said that ! Ah'll get me coat

The past few pies I’ve had have been a fkn disgrace. As you say, stuck to the foil and soggy so you can’t even get it out. Handling one of those and drinking a flat pint of tennents at the same time on a cold concourse sounds fun.

Pretty much agree with that Grizzly. Its not an issue for me personally as I drive to and from games. I suspect there's more like me. The issue boils down to extra income for the club. If I didn't drive, it wouldn't cause me any great hardship to go without alcohol for 90 minutes. For some though, its a bit like voting and the suffragettes. Its not about having a drink during games its about the right to have a drink during games if they want to do so. Freedom of choice if you want. All that said, I have no problem if folk drink during games as long as those who can't handle alcohol desist.

If the club can sell booze, it should. And if you don’t want to buy booze, then don’t. We’re all adults, so the option should be there. The constant “don’t do it” approach usually has the opposite effect. Scotland’s alcohol licensing laws are, in general, far more restrictive than elsewhere, and that just encourages folk to fill their boots while they can, rather than pace themselves without fear of the tap being turned off, which in itself leads to more issues. That said, under the current proposals, not all stands have the infrastructure in place to sell booze during the game anyway. For me, I much prefer to meet up and have a few pints before and after the game in an actual pub, but I’d probably still buy a pint at the game if I could.

Just my view but I just don't get the point. Folk meet before games for a pint and like me enjoy a few after games. For 90 mins surely folk can cope without a beer. Times have changed and for the 1980 Cup final folk to take a carry oot into ground which caused problems. And for rugby you can have a pint. Always a debate where views will be split but for me it's a no

Hearts will drop points, Rangers are on a run of games but are an appalling team and Celtic are a laughing stock. if we get a couple of players in January and get a couple of wins in the next few games I honestly believe we could be right in the mix and sustain it.

I hope we do them again 👍 For the C&A ladies and gents going take care and enjoy the win.

Merry Xmas! 🧡❤️🧡

Merry Christmas to ‘well supporters everywhere.

Seasons greetings to all. Enjoy.

If we remain unbeaten through the next two games we are in with a realistic chance of finishing 2,3 or 4 and an outside chance of 1 Hearts wouldn’t need to have a total collapse but a few more draws or loose the odd game here and there would bring them back much closer to us. Unless Celtic and Rangers drastically improve over January both of them are capable of dropping points against any team in the league. as someone stated earlier, this is not a normal season.

I met Stevie Kirk at our local coup this afternoon. Looking well and very pleased with our current form.

There every reason to suspect JBA has an eye for a player unlike Kettlewells scatter gun approach so we could see some decent transfer activity and with Jordan McGhee on the verge of selection we could end January with the strongest squad we've had in many a year.

Chris Sutton is a full-pelt moron. Being a Celtic fan is basically membership of a delusional cult, so it’s no surprise he’s as thick as he sounds.

That's the key though. When we are conceding, goalies often take the blame. Sometimes deserved, sometimes not. Defence, however, needs a team effort from front to back with the keeper being the last resort. Much better to prevent shots on target before he is needed.

Amazing how this season Saturday’s can’t come quick enough.

Neither are they.

Six games without conceding a goal equals 540 minutes, the last goal was at Rugby park just after half time, if you add in all the additional time it must be 10 hours since Ward was beaten yet he hardly raises a blip in these polls. Given that we seem to have a rolling line up in front of him, I think we can safely say that JBA has a bit of an idea what he is doing.

Elijah Just for me due to the power of work he got through - if only he had a bit of conviction with his shooting. I do love Welsh and believe that he should be in the conversation for the World Cup.

Thought the entire team were off it for the first 20 minutes with Watt and Slattery the most wasteful with the ball. Over the 90 minutes I thought Welsh, Fadinger and Just were our best players with an honourable mention for Said. Went for Just for his workrate and the fact he never stops trying to create. His run to get to the byline, tackling their defender and coming up with the ball to cross it into the middle was fantastic and typified his performance. Top class footballer.

Attendance today 6,649 and at the game they said something like 500 Dundee fans. Saturday KO, christmas season and sunny weather no doubt helped, but that is a fantastic attendance.

Sire Stephen of Welsh by a country mile.

Forget about him, focus on the mighty well ramming it right up him

Yasssss at last

Yep we all know what we need in January cause this is what we all feared. It's time to invest and keep the progress ticking along.

Said is a brilliant wee player, he can make such a difference coming on. i do feel for Hendry, i just get the impression he’s trying too hard. He’s the best example of a “player who needs a goal “ I think I’ve ever seen.

We need a goal scorer.

Agreed everything is abit frantic and forced. No need to hurry. Little more patience and better movement up front. I would have AP on for Hendry. As i think he brings more energy. Dundee have done their homework. We miss a Turnbull type of player in games like this.

The pre-match are the regular journos from the Scottish media. The post match on our YouTube channel are our media team. Of course, the interviews on BBC telly and radio are BBC journos.

Having come across them at DP v Clyde in first game of season, I said I wouldn't willingly go to another away game , manhandling stewards who were trying to take flares off them...hottest , brightest day of the year...surprised they can dress themselves, never mind go to fitba.

Yes they do and as I said in my post the stewards aren't blameless but the Well Bois in front of us in the Q going into Tannadice were foul mouthed abusive and generally being obnoxious and entitled this in turn was met by the same reaction from the stewards. It was a situation that was easily avoidable. I find it utterly amazing that how some of our fans can attend every match home and away for 50 odds years, myself included , and have never been ejected from the ground or had any confrontation with the police or stewards. I guess we must just be lucky.

Let’s hope we keep playing that way, because he’s certainly not one of the best collectors of crosses or shots we’ve ever had.
