We would all be delighted if the U20's were full of great prospects and Talent ready to step up to the 1st team, but the reality is that it's not we will be doing well if we get 2 or 3 who make the step up and follow the likes of Cadden into the team and i think even that figure is ambitious. The U20's have done well to get professional contracts at a premiership club and the ones who don't make the 1st team will probably go on to make a good living from football and play at a decent level, i.e Craig moore. I am sure SR and every other manager would love to be in the position that Alex Ferguson was in when he had his golden generation of youngsters i.e. Giggs, Butt, Scholes, Beckham and the Neville brothers ready to step up into the 1st team but he has to work with what we have. The young players will get their chance if SR thinks they are good enough and ready to step up, but given the brief appearances we have seen from some of them up till now, i don't think we have any that are ready

Yes it is allegedly, the sportscene presenter did apologise after the highlights to viewers who may have heard some offensive language, but the League and SFA will do feck all as usual. And they will get their usual free ride in the press, so no change there either.

So what model would you have then, your criteria seem to be nobody plays for Motherwell unless they were born locally, and been at the club man and boy,irrespective of whether they have any talent or potential. What we have now is football in the 21st century, not something from a Roy of the rovers comic, we are Motherwell not Melchester.

Kipre for me,badly exposed at times by Tait forgetting he was a right back but coped very well, Think he will be a good signing for us

Eric Liddell never ran in the Olympics in Paris in 1920 something as the race was moved to a Sunday due to his religious beliefs, watch the film chariots of fire that will fill you in. So is Bigi a happy clapper then

Injured apparently, according to the gossip at the game, no details how bad it is though .

He has obviously found his level, best of luck to him.

Name and shame he or she should get their season book taken off them.

Skippy not in the united squad today for their opener in Inverness,.

A new season and I hope it's a new attitude towards Rangers and we realise that behind all the hype they are average at best. Hope we get right into them from the 1st whistle they are there for the taking I will be surprised if Pedro is in charge past Christmas, so going for a win for us to set the tone for the season.

BBC gossip page reporting this morning that Brighton are allegedly interested in Chris Cadden http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40773182

Bobby Allan, a true gentleman and a Motherwell diehard, 1st met him through the supporters association, he was very knowledgeable football wise and used to organise the association quiz nights, he was also a commentator helping out the blind and partially sighted supporters for years, although some of the commentary was a bit more down to earth than the BBC.

That was Mark McManus

Skippy is a Motherwell legend in my opinion those 2 goals he scored to get it right up Celtic and spoil their title party are up there with my best moments watching Motherwell.

A 5-1 win last week and you were moaning and finding fault, 4-0 this week and right on cue another post focusing on what you perceive to be negative, FFS give it a rest. We were excellent today playing against nothing but we scored 4 and prob should have had another 2 or 3, so why not try some positive thinking and enjoy it.

Why all this debate about an ex player who promised a lot but in the end proved to be lacking in footballing skill, ability and motivation contributing feck all to the club in all the time he was there,he won't be missed, let's hope the money saved on his wage is better spent.

The history books will only detail the final scoreline not how well the teams played. So a 5-1 win means we pumped them and by definition were miles better.

Older and slower never stopped Lasley, McManus or Hammell getting a game last season, so he would fit right in with the pace of the team, he could fill the void left by Lasley

Give it a rest FFS, and stop talking pish most fans would take a dodgy 1st half performance and a 5-1 final score any day of the week.

Why would he have a seat in the dressing room he was either out on loan or nowhere near the team in all his time at the club

The fact that he could not break into the 1st team ahead of some of the utter dross we have seen at Fir park over the past couple of seasons tells you all you need to know about him, ie he was not good enough and never would be, surprised he was not away before now.

Bowman has had a few good chances and none taken if the twitter feed is to be believed, friendly or not we should not be losing to teams of the standard of Gateshead.

I see Wes Fletcher has scored for TNS in the Europa league tonight. Correction it's now been credited as an own goal

Being " comprehensive outplayed" as you put it in their 1st competitive match together and strolling to a 2-0 win, aye we should be concerned !! wet pants this early in the season is more of a concern, wring yours out and chill.

Anybody described as playing similar to Zak Jules gives me the fear, but time will tell he will be judged on performances.
