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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Looks like he's already landed a job managing this mob in South Wales

They are probably trying to deter the scum / animals who destroy fir park every time they visit. However easier said than done.

Want to see him and his team do well but then I also want him back ASAP so hope does well and they narrowly miss qualifying

Reasonable statements and time will tell if correct or not. Rangers Saturday followed by Celtic Tuesday is always going to be tough so maybe we’ll we see how we stack up after those two games. I’m sure both of us are hoping you’re wrong.

Turns out he's not very good. Who knew?

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.

Stephen Welsh is the best defender we've had at the club for ages. And he had a bandage round his head like an olden days centre back. MotM/

Well we got there eventually. Looked like it was going to be one of those games but even though we weren't at our best today and we definitely missed Maswanhise we still created enough chances to comfortably win the game. For me Said is far superior to Regan-Cook but maybe Said is just one of those players who's better coming off the bench. Either way we struggled in the final third first half but still should have gone in 1-0 up. Second half it was almost constant pressure on the Dundee box without anything coming off, some poor final ball, poor finishing and a few unlucky breaks. Maybe it was lucky we scored so late in the game cos Dundee looked like a different team after the goal and instead of grimly trying to hang on looked like a real threat. However I thought McGinn and especially Welsh were absolutely fantastic today.

If someone like mcinnes made the same comment as Jen's after the Hibs game about us targeting Hanley,then he would have been a tactical genius according to mccall,he's nothing more than a hanger on and the sooner the scottish game is rid of folk like him the better.

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

Had to change my script as was going to say how poor Slattery was today, he was but the hero today. Dundee came for a draw and it almost worked. 6 clean sheets in a row is great but we need to be more clinical and stop looking for the perfect final pass. Plus with Hendry and RCC in team our chances of goals diminishes. Hendry unlucky today at times but RCC offered nothing. But it's a win and another great attendance. COYW

That was one of those games where if you're a neutral you'd be thinking a goal was always on the cards for us, and if you're a 'Well fan you're thinking we're never going to score.

I take everything back what I said about Slattery yesterday!Good stuff. Now just hold on please.

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.

We need a goal scorer.

TJ is going to be a massive loss the next few weeks. We’re pretty toothless when he’s playing but he’s the one who can produce something.

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.

Slattery has not been at the races recently his passing has been shocking and I have felt he has slowed down play more than often. I wouldn't be shocked if he moves on in January just get a feeling something isn't right with him.

Stama x2

And no change out of a tenner ……….

If people cant go without alcohol for a couple of hours to attend a football match then they have serious issues, having a pint with your pie is not a good idea.

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.

Having being victimised by security at Tannadice myself before, I'd like to to hear the Block E lads' version of events before arriving at any conclusion.

He was so bad, we sacked him again just to be sure.

I'll stick my neck out and say that I'll be very surprised if we don't make top six. We're already 6 points ahead of Falkirk and 10 clear of United, I don't really see them or anyone else putting together a sort of run that would overhaul us.

Dixie was one of the first heroes of mine. Gave opposition centre halfs a torrid time with his ability to "hang" in the air and shall we say "combatitive" style on the ground. Gave Mike England of Spurs the run around in our Texaco Cup tie. RIP
