Remember that 3-2 game against Celtic you mentioned , Townsley did indeed have a great that night , Fir Park was bouncing that game Think JB did have our best intentions, but at the same time lived in a bit of a fantasy world. In hindsight we have done better as a club in the years since

Forgot about Derek the Postman , think his best game at Fir Park was in a Hibs Shirt when they beat us 2-0

Was a great footballer like you say for the likes of Aston Villa , by the time he came to us I remember thinking it would be a great signing , though not the case

Looking back to the late 90s/early 2000s we signed some amount of dross back then Along with the likes of John Davies , there was Holm Kraska , Jered Stirling , Andy Dow , Gunni Johnson I think his name was , Karl Ready , Sasa Curcic , Kevin Christie . Sure there are many others For the amount of money invested that era , results over a 3/4 year period were overall quite poor with the exception of the 99/00 season

Pat Nevin strikes me as a totally decent guy , though at the same time a guy who was on a power trip Should make for interesting reading as it seems the Motherwell era is featured a bit

Since it is the boring part of the season did anyone read about the Pat Nevin story about wee Billy Davies yesterday convinced his office was being bugged and wanted to find out if there was listening devices ? Don’t mind wee Billy Davies at all, but always striked me as being paranoid Pat Nevin , my personal opinion an interesting character , always will be associated with the Administration era but looking back John Boyle must have been pulling the strings , and Nevin was the guy everyone hated back then

Hopefully a strong start in this group setting us up for a good start in the league and a run to Hampden , similar to 2017

That is the one I last remember also we had for 2 years. 11/13 seasons A great 2 years

I know I am in a very small small minority here but I was a fan of last season’s home kit, it is actually one of my favourites in recent years I totally get why people look for a traditional looking Well kit, my favourite of all time for example was the 1994-1996 home kit Though I am definitely not against the idea of something that looks slightly different now and then , what looked worse for me was the 2004/2006 home kit with the blue Zoom Airlines lettering across the front . Have happy memories of that era though

Remember the one after a defeat at Falkirk as well in his first spell “I’m not here to please the fans , I’m only here to manage the team “ I will say one thing about Marky boy , he had confidence in his own ability, my first thought when I heard he was coming back in 2015 was , aw naw no him again

Another good 3 points today Beautiful Sunday Well fans

Was never a fan of Graham Alexander but strikes me as a good guy and wish him the best at MK Dons His team may have been brutal to watch at times but on the plus side he did sign King Kevin , and surely the only Well manager to be unbeaten at Ibrox in a season , of course qualifying for Europe too though won’t mention the S word

Amazing for Luton , sure they were in the conference about 10 years ago or so . Proper rags to riches tale

You beat me to it , by about a minute

Graham Alexander appointed MK Dons head coach

Disappointing to draw after winning , but another point at least 10 in a row for King Kevin though , equalling both Marc Viduka and Marco Negri Wouldnt put it past Kev to score again on Sunday

Not a classic at all yesterday I’m only interested though in the fact we got the 3 points eventually , and 9 in a row for King Kev 8 wins in 12 games for Kettlewell, not one Well fan could have predicted this 3 months ago

Brilliant , well done Max

You are right in the sense we won’t. On the other hand Killie , St Johnstone , St Mirren , Ross County and Inverness fans would have been thinking the same and have all done so in last 10/11 years Anyway I am off to enjoy the rest of the weekend and a 2-0 victory for the mighty Well

I don’t think there is any Well fan on the planet who does not want European football , more a case of once we get there we do nothing , then we tend to have a poorer league season , 2008/9 2014/15 and 2020/21 are prime examples If I had a straight choice though of 3rd/4th place next year or win one of the two cups that is my personal preference, mainly because it has been so long since we have won one

I agree on this Always good for fans to get their passport out but I believe the league cup group stage and a few more victories will get us a better more confident start to next season, rather than a Europa conference tie where we would no doubt end up out after 1 or 2 games anyway 2017 an example after Robbo kept us up. Strong start to the season with 4 victories in cup games led us all the way to the final What a turnaround in the last 3 months Well done Stuart Kettlewell, King Kev and everyone else

Derek Adams relegated with Morecambe , apparently for the first time in their history Must never have been higher than League 1 then

Great 3 points yesterday What a goal Kev , outstanding Pleasantly surprised at the turn around since Stuart Kettlewell took the job , would never have predicted it 3 months ago

Sometimes it doesn’t work for me either , don’t know if you got the Stuart Kettlewell email though it had an option to click and renew

Renewed now for another season
