  1. I think a few bodies will return from last week, like Hammy, Watty, Las and Fitzy. Perhaps the likes of Coach and Clarky might drop to the bench just to freshen it up a little. Whatever happens it'd be nice to go out with a bang. We've not even scored against Killie so we must put that right. If Kyle is injured for them I can't see them scoring, so 2-0 to us...and NO CARDS!!
  2. It certainly was the most poisonous build up and atmosphere I've ever seen for any Well game. I was offered a sizeable amount for my remaining season ticket voucher and refused. I kinda wish I'd sold it, the thought of that particular mhanky spending WAY over the odds to watch the biggest disappointment of his life is a hilarious one! The only drawback was the other lot benefitting from it and thinking we'd done it for them, then trying to be our best pals. Fuck off!
  3. I'd say Alan Muir turning down two strong nalty claims at Love Street in January, he shat it cos he didn't want to be the reason St Mirren lost their last game there.
  4. Having seen both Hutchinson and Page at reserve and under 19 level, they look excellent prospects and will hopefully be able to make the next step over the next year or so.
  5. Not sure a section of the Fir Park pitch will improve anyone's lawn, but this sounds like a great idea!
  6. That will allow the powers that be to select who they want to represent Scotland in Europe, rather than who actually deserves it. Why else would it be kept secret from the clubs?
  7. Happy birthday to the mighty Well, and happy anniversary for tomorrow!!
  8. There is no doubt that we'll have more outgoings over the summer, but if we'd repaired the pitch properly last year then we wouldn't be in this predicament. What MMG is saying may be realism, but at a time when we're trying to sell season tickets, its not the positive noises fans want to hear. If we canny compete with St Johnstone then that is a poor situation indeed.

    Ict

    Same team as the weekend for me, using Clarky, O'Brien and Murphy to run at them out wide. It could be a struggle as they need the points, but if we make a good start I can see us winning well. That said I'd be content enough with 1-0 and no cards!
  10. Well done to all concerned, and as for Flow....nice pic of him in the Motherwell Times in his best suit and dickie bow!!
  11. Was it not Andy Walker who got the winner against Brechin? Think Rab got the opener that day and about 8 or 9 others that season. Seem to recall we signed him from the Pars for about 5k or something. Sure he played for us briefly in the Premier the season after, scored a peach when we lost 3-1 to Dundee fairly early season, but disappeared after that. Not sure where he ended up to be honest.
  12. Ha ha thought you might say that!!
  13. Personally I'd rather see Killie go down, taking their crabbit manager and delusional fans with them.
  14. One more goal will give Clarky his best scoring season of his career, so fingers crossed.
  15. What he is is a pain in the arse to play against as far as we're concerned!
  16. That's right, I seem to remember Flow making the point that the pitch wouldn't be ready for early July. Maybe any Europa League qualifiers (should we make it of course) would have to be played at Airdrie or somewhere similar.
  17. I think this one will be a draw, probably 1-1.

    Clarky - 250 Up!

    He might not be the best player we've even had, but few can match his endeavour, workrate and passion for the jersey. Well done Clarky, and here's to many more.
  19. Any time we make it into the top six it should be regarded as a great achievement. The city clubs have the financial advantage over the rest of us and should always be up there. We're not a big enough club to demand or expect top half finishes, European jaunts or trips to Hampden on a regular basis, which makes them all the better when they happen. This season has been disappointing, but only in comparison to last season. Given the financial disparity and the poor run we had in November/December, to get within a point of Hibs was pretty good. The close season will be huge for us though, in terms of players in and out. We need to at least keep the same numbers in the squad, and maybe even add an extra body, just to keep us competitive. We can't afford to be bringing in too many loans and looking at trialists right up to the start of the season, we have to hit the ground running this time. However, if we are challenging for the top six and enjoy at least one cup run then that'll do me.
  20. It was always likely to happen for two reasons. Firstly he appeared a bit lazy any time I've seen him play, despite his goals. Secondly, as he's named after two of Motherwell's worst strikers he was never going to make it was he?!!!
  21. Well done to all four Motherwell lads, a great honour for them and for the club too.
  22. If McGhee is true to his word then guys like Buzz, Shug and Boab will be nowhere near the team, and young lads like Hutchinson and McHugh will get a chance to play a few games.
  23. The whole day on the Thursday was fantastic, seeing all those Well fans in Place Stanislas partying and singing. The walk to Stade Marcel Picot was amazing and the atmos throughout the game was immense, very emotional when 'There's only one Phil O'Donnell' started up too. A wonderful trip, and here's to more in the future.
