  1. My quick summary:

    1. I enjoyed his brutally honest initial assessment of everything being a bit disjointed in terms of the Club, staff, fans, and Well Society.
    2. It was interesting to hear his comments on not interfering in recruitment, but disappointing to learn that Daws is still kicking around.
    3. I guess it was sensible that he was asked to contact the US-based investor once he was identified as the preferred candidate and before he took the post. It was also good to hear that the investor has spoken to the Well Society. 
    4. I like that he's stood his ground and told the SPFL they cannot dictate what happens should the Dundee game be called off. TL;DR - it's Dundee's fault, and Motherwell shouldn't suffer.

    From what I've picked up if the game get's postponed it will be moved to a neutral location on Sunday or potentially closed doors Monday . 

    I've got some empathy for Dundee here, not that many years ago we had similar issues with our pitch 

    There's no way the Club should be agreeing to anything that puts its players or fans at a disadvantage in the event of Dundee's ongoing failure to fulfil fixtures at their ground. It's either played at Dens Park in front of fans or not at all this Saturday. Having it played on plastic (potentially) and behind closed doors would be utter bollox and is a reward for their failure. It's about time they're held to account for the impact that their shite pitch is causing; it's 2024 for fucks sake.

    I guessed that might be the case when I saw the forecast at the beginning of the week. I hope they do the decent thing and call it off on Friday rather than wait until people start travelling.

    It'll be called off after the second pitch inspection at 2.30 pm.

    Only Gent finishing where he started, no wonder our defence is all over the shop, no settled back line over 90 minutes, never mind from week to week.

    We desperately needed to sign a commanding and experienced centre-half in January, but we didn't and this type of situation continued to be the norm. It's not good enough and he's now got his third transfer window to sort it.

    Hope for the best, but expect....you know.

    Motherwell's my team, and no level is too low to change that. Same story for a lot of folk, but the poverty of the product, combined with rising prices - football related or otherwise - must be shaving numbers off the gate year by year, and it does hee haw to encourage new paying customers.

    Add VAR and its destruction of the matchday experience to that, and gate numbers will only drop further.

    Could we get Allan Campbell back even on loan? Now that would be magic 

    A midfield of Campbell and Miller would be worth the season ticket cost alone, but I don't see that happening in a million years. 

    I hope he gets back on his feet after his horrible loan spell at Millwall. When does his contract expire with Luton?

    Looking at the previous head-to-head stats, current form, and injuries/fatigue from international duties, this game has a draw written all over it. 

    As predicted. Dogshit FC v St Dogshit results in a dogshit draw.

    I thought the referee Matthew McDermid hasd a reasonable game yesterday but I was curious about his treatment of Hemming. He had a long word with him fairly early on in the game about blatant timewasting. Fair enough. However he then spoke to him again, but despite that Hemming simply refused to desist. Why not speak to him once and then bring out the yellow card. That would stamp out this practice.  

    Any views on Vale's yellow card for diving? Not many refs issue them these days, despite it being a common malpractice.  

    I also thought he had a reasonable game, apart from failing to book Hemming. He generally let play flow and didn't dish out any silly yellows for good tough and fair tackling. I've not seen a replay of the Vale booking, but it looked like a blatant dive in real-time, and the ref was right beside the incident.

    You guys should be very wary.  At shrewsbury some now refer to him as Brian Fraudwell.  He left suddenly last year under a bit of a dark cloud.  Rumours of him cooking the books for his own benefit to the tune of 750K.  Started as a decent bloke, all looked rosy. He then fell out with the manager and spent his last 3 years working from home and went very quiet.  Deleted all the electronic evidence on his departure. Now believed to have been recovered and somewhat incriminating.  Im amazed you've not done your due diligence on this one.  Good luck all the same.

    Worrying if true. Otherwise, this is all hearsay until any evidence is shown.

    You go through my previous posts and see where I've ever insulted you personally . I think you'll be waiting a long time. A very long time. But I'll tell you something. No wonder people don't post on here any more. You get closed down if you don't hate Kettlewell. And that is the truth 

    Take your sanctimony and victim complex elsewhere.

    You just want people to agree with you. That's fine. No point in debate then is there. You got personal. Now off you go

    If you can't see that what you accuse people of here is exactly what you practice then I don't know what to say anymore.

    As is yours. You spend your time on here dictating to people what they should think about Motherwell. And I wont spend my night antagonising people. Can't have a difference of opinion eh? You spend your entire time on here closing people down. Hth. 

    Thank you for confirming my previous response.

    You seriously can't deal with a difference of opinion without getting personal. No matter how many times people point it out to you. I've been watching Motherwell since 1987 and what you can do is stick your snide opinions up your backside. It's your way or the highway and I've had enough of it. Hth

    Your lack of self-awareness is staggering. 

    I hope you have a good night antagonising people.

    Nonsense 

    I can only assume all the happy clapping has affected your judgment because he (and many others) was rotten today and hasn't shown anything positive since joining to suggest he isn't anything other than a pointless signing so far.
