Our 3rd Scottish cup win was 1991 which was 4-3 against Aberdeen in the final Alex McLeish was our manager from 1990-1996, in that time he won not just the Scottish cup in 1991 but a cup double in the same season. He won the league cup in 1991 beating Rangers 2-1 in the final We played in europe in 2007 against a team called Bate Borisov ??? More recently we beat Celtic at Fir Park with Kevin Van Veen scoring a double, Liam Kelly pulled off a few good saves that day Not even fit to go to a charity shop in my opinion, shocking indeed

Bradford have produced some very nice kits down the years The 1999/2001 home and away when they were in the Premier League were classics

Might be a good time to get Rangers first game of the season

Funny enough I ended up in Wetherspoons today, days off. but was the one in Motherwell of course 🤣 It took me back to 2005 for some reason. The old place hasn't changed at all but the reason I say 2005 is I got in some disagreement with a guy about Gerry Britton for some reason after he signed lol . I was giving him the benefit of the doubt of course That was a short lived one looking back now 😄

Welcome aboard Jens

Sorry to see Ahmet leaving I didn't honestly think he would be staying on realistically though Maybe new Assistant manager to Michael Wimmer

I am fully behind the new manager No idea who he was really , he played for Norwich under Paul Lambert so must have at least a bit of a knowledge of UK football We have not been a great watch really for at least 4-5 years now with the exception of KVV scoring goals for fun in those last 3 months, and Theo Bair's half season . I heard someone suggest few days ago we should have appointed either Craig Levein or Mark McGhee , the second guy got a second chance and we seen what happened

Welcome to the club Jens Hopefully do us a turn 🤞

Absolutely 100 percent I would prefer any manager who has no history to either of the Glasgow clubs . But fully would be supportive to any who have as we never know what could happen Terry Butcher was one of my favourites and I have said it before. For anyone with any doubt he took on the role when we were at our lowest. After the 2002-2003 season when we should have been relegated he done great for us The one time I remember when fans were all getting behind us, was like an Us vs the rest of Scottish football mentality at that time

One rumour I did hear recently is our chairman has been in Albania speaking to a potential candidate No idea if it is true or not but if so maybe explains the silence about the next guy

Speedy recovery for Ian Baraclough hopefully Wishing the guy all the best

Just the type of player Scotland have been needing , albeit against not the best of teams but who cares Faddy was very complimentary towards Lennon

Roberto Martinez and Portugal 2-2 with Spain , and extra time now in the final

Do not think it will be Richard Foster either Mentioned this last week if Wimmer had left during a season Foster would no doubt be a contender In true Well style I think it will be someone nobody has predicted

I definitely think we will have a new manager in place before pre -season starts . Most likely by the end of this week we will hear something

Steve Clarke as the new lead singer of Fleetwood Mac Billy Davies the new Well manager , equally pish of course 😂

Our own Ian St John would have been 87 today Legend at both my clubs Motherwell and Liverpool. Wish I could have seen the great man play live Saint and Greavsie also growing up was classic TV

Sure Steve Clarke did almost get the job in 2010 before McCall got the gig . He mentioned this at one point The media at that time were also predicting Alan Stubbs would get the job

I am a Scotland fan , and been fully supportive of Steve Clarke Time for a new approach I think , and give the younger generation a better chance

I am in this minority, while I think our band round the front , and sometimes back is iconic and part of tradition I don't think there is anything wrong with making it look a little bit different from time to time. Biggest thing for me is we always maintain the Claret and Amber One of my favourite kits in recent seasons was the 22-23 home kit , and I know at the time there was plenty of others who didn't like it

Really liking the look of this kit Definitely an improvement on last seasons kit

Remember this , great 2-0 game against Hearts and also remember losing to Airdrie in the cup , did Lasley score an OG that night ?

In the last 30 years or so since Tommy McLean left we have had some good managers , and not so good ones Butcher was one of my favourites simply because we were at rock bottom when he took that job. Remember our game at Killie when we won 4-1 and we didn't even know if we would have a team to support . Fast forward 2-3 years and we were again a force Mark McGhee , his first season was excellent, and some of the football was a joy to watch . He handled Phil's passing the best he could have done. It was a mistake bringing the guy back in 2015 though in my opinion Craig Brown gets definite pass marks for me and despite being disappointed at the way he left , I have long gotten over it. Brown and Knox (or Jack and Victor ) as they were known at the time did great that year Robbo is another for me , always be greatful for the 2017-2018 season , and the 2 cup finals . Just a pity we played Celtic both times , otherwise I believe that could have been our time Stuart McCall was consistent with us and we had a great few seasons , but there was that disappointment we should have done better in one off cup games

More interesting this , compare it to the champions league final. Prefer the Well videos Bellshill Athletic away on the 5th of July anyone?

Jack Daniels had a great few nights back in the day . The Well v Celtic game when Skippy scored those two goals was a good night Other one despite being gubbed 5-1 by Rangers in the 2005 final in the same season there was one guy changing the lyrics to a Bryan Adams song Summer of 69 with the lyrics Summer of 91 😄
