I was born in Edinburgh and started supporting Motherwell because the keeper at the time had the same name as me. Moved to Kirkmuirhill/Blackwood in 1978 The following year my dad started taking me to games. Now living in Kilmarnock but have livedin Inverness, Dundee, Londonderry and Ayr.

On this topic I tend to agree that Ruddy should keep playing if fit as for me just shades it over Fraser in terms of ability. He has a more commanding presence due to his height and is always fairly vocal with the defenders. What I would ask is how much of Ruddys confidence and presence has come from being on a good run. For instance for the goal yesterday he was a bit hasty coming out. It will be interesting to see how he performs if we continue the dodgy form of the last two games. I am not overly concerned at Fraser being main keeper next season he performed fairly well today. Whilst his kicking was not the best I have seen, there were plenty of players in the team today whose pasing was poor and a lot of the time over a far shorter distance than Fraser was kicking the ball.
