More than that in fact: 2769.

It was, but only for the first year of your membership (and possibly only at Claret level and above, can't remember now).

Haven't seen enough of the other goalies to really compare, but to be honest from what I've seen of Ripley this year he's progressed from shaky to competent-with-potential, and not much more than that.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it return as a Well Society member perk next season... which probably wouldn't be a bad way of attracting a few new members, either.

Club(s) have been told they're not allowed to post match highlights on non-paywalled channels any more. (I was always surprised they were allowed to anyway, tbh...)

Pretty sure my first game was "that" St Mirren cup game in February 1977. Remember nothing about being there other than being sat in the main stand, though.

To be fair, we didn't then either, except when we let in thousands of school kids for free.

We did, but iirc we'd also voted in favour of that change so we couldn't really complain.

Definite penalty, and totally unnecessary from Gomis... Johnson was just about to clear it.

It's been poor, but wouldn't be the first time we've turned it around against Celtic after a poor first half. Could do with Skippy focusing on the game rather than moaning about everything, though.

This. If we miss out on top six at this stage it'll only be because we failed to take any points from the (likely) league champions, after an unexpected run of victories. Annoying of course, but it'll hardly be a case of having thrown it away.

They certainly did. Though I suspect they may also have worn it since.

Fan ownership is not the same as 'fans running the club'. Of course qualified people need to do that; in a fan-owned club, it just means that fans' representative(s) on the board theoretically help to decide who those people are.

I imagine he'll say they'll be organising a Q&A evening soon to answer all our questions (provided we can attend in person, and don't expect them to ever post any minutes anywhere, let alone stream it live).

Blades fan's comment from earlier this month: "Looks like (Hibs) got off lightly there, not signing him. He's a funny little player tbh. He does have a very nice burst of speed and injects some urgency into the midfield - moves the ball quickly - which is great. But he's always getting knocked off the ball and spends most of the match on his ass." http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/hibs-cool-interest-in-sheff-utd-s-stefan-scougall-1-4017847

Pterodactyls aren't even dinosaurs, they're pterosaurs. (And pretty much unrelated to birds, which existed at the same time.)

You could say that about pretty much every manager we've had since I started following Motherwell 40 years ago, mind you. Billy Davies and Terry Butcher have had about three decent seasons between them elsewhere, and that's about it.

Yep... and yet, it doesn't really seem to happen anywhere else. All they can really do is not send the players out for their lap of honour at all if people go on the pitch, rather than just waiting until the pitch is clear... after a year or two of doing that, folk might start to get the message. (On the other hand, they might decide it's still more fun to go on the pitch than to stand around clapping for ten minutes...)

Phew.

And where are we going to find that? The club was for sale and available for years to any such group, and nobody wanted it.

Marv in the playoffs, possibly...

One can only hope that was the plan all along, and that it'll turn out to have been a fine piece of man management. But I hae ma doots.

Yes, we can recall him anytime we like.
