So more than 20 minutes and less than 2 years would be reasonable. My bigger complaint is the general treatment of overseas and long distance members. There was a lot made at the outset of how global the Society was and all these members from all these different countries. And here we are today with no facility to make payments online and, more importantly, no way to participate in, or even listen to, any of the Well Society meetings. More and more it feels like we are an afterthought. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have contributed to the Society and help out the club as it's one of the few options open to and expat. I would stop short, however, of asking a friend to join unless they lived within spitting distance of Fir Park because otherwise they won't be able to participate at any meaningful level.

Baraclough's quote from Sunday: "We definitely need another keeper in because we’ve only got one senior keeper, but we’re not too far away on that."

I remember when half of Fir Park screamed abuse at Steve Kirk every week. That was shortly after the demonstration demanding Tommy McLean get the sack.

Aye, but we knew he wasn't going to sign. As for whether it's scummy or not, thanks to Bosman, there aren't many ways to make money from transfers these days. The first step that made the rich teams richer and killed the smaller teams like us.

Signed up and paid. If paypal skimmed any weird conversion fees or charges let me know and I'll be happy to make up the difference.

Is that not exactly what we did with Lee Erwin?

Plan to sign up later in the week. My only comment is the prize structure seems a little generous. I'd be happy with 10 or 20 quid first prize plus bragging rights given the money raised is going to a good cause.

That's the dilemma for a keeper, of course. Any decent team needs 2 quality keepers to cover for injuries, loss of form etc. Inevitably, one of them will end up on the bench week after week. I'm sure, you are right, that for some (if not many) they are happy to take the money - but I imagine that a lot of that has to do with the mentality of keepers too i.e. for years you prepare to be in that position, because it's the nature of the beast. However, I still don't doubt there is sufficient quality available out there that we can tap into.

As long as we can guarantee at least 200 selfies per team member I think we could have a result here.

I remember that. I guess we don't have sufficient resources to take the punt that Celtic did, but it worked out well for them. Hindsight and all that.

Goalkeeping being what it is, with limited opportunities for 2nd choices, there has to be a boat load of quality like Ruddy and Randolph out there looking for a run in a first team somewhere. I was hoping our new GK coach would already have some ideas of where guys like that can be found.

Sounds like a typical Motherwell European tour then.

Not just fast - he has the end product too.

Marv will be left wing, surely.

Sounds like our strikers need to sharpen up. Given the level they were playing at last season it's not surprising the new signings are finding less time and space to operate than they are used to. Hopefully Skippy can add a little extra nous up front to help them out.

To be very very pedantic "the likes of" means teams similar to, not those specific teams.

I think Faddy has more chance of finding a home at the likes of Falkirk or QoS than Fir Park these days.

Official Twitter says Tenner and a Fiver and will be in the Main Stand.

Lies about his height (no way he's 6ft.)

15 quid sent. Thanks as always for organizing.

I agree about Jeffers' link up play. His off-the-ball movement was also excellent.

I'm a traditionalist - all you need for me is plain green.

Would be nice to get a permanent CM. However, it seems that Bara has been looking to the next transfer window too, so I guess it's not impossible that he brings in someone on a 6 month loan with a view to signing someone else up in January.

Do you have any pictures that have less of those annoying stadiums and more of yourself in them?

Looking forward to his Dutch and Irish photos.
