Mad Dog

What's up with Carswell? Was hoping he'd get the full 90 today, perhaps in partnership with Forbes to give Keith a rest. A couple for McHugh with Ojamaa to come off the bench and score on his debut.

Born and raised in Guernsey, Channel Isles. Travelled Asia for a couple of years, lived in Sydney, Australia for a couple of years then moved to Thailand when I was 25. Ten years on and still here. My Mum was born in Bellshill and my Grandparents were both born in Larkhall. My Granddad was a Thirds supporter before changing to the 'well.

You never know, it might still be on the cards....

Ally Maxwell, Chris McCart, Rab McKinnon.

I'm struggling to find streams myself, just found this one but don't know if it will be any good or not: http://www.freefootball.eu/upcoming.php

I'm happy with winning more games than we lose and the odd crack at Europe adds to the excitement. My main expectation is that we can only lose by the odd goal against the O.F. and maybe pick up the occasional point or three once in a while. Getting raped by them time after time is humiliating.

Two up top away from home against a free-scoring Dundee United? We might see Murphy dropped to the bench right enough but no guarantee that Bob McHugh will take his place. Bring Ross Forbes into a more creative five-man midfield perhaps? Or young Carswell for a more defensive line-up? I can see it being 4-5-1 anyway.

Unbelievable! No place on the bench for young Lawleff, however Sorbes keeps his place. Good ol' BBC eh.

If we lost all 8 games 1-0 or 2-1 then there wouldn't be so many complaints. I couldn't care less if we failed to pick up any points against them as long as we made them fight for those points.

More likely to see him back at the club as chairman.

Motherwell Supporters Club of Thailand (members: 3!) is certainly interested in investing too.

Jamaica called him up end of last season but don't know if he actually played or not.

The break may do us some good though, two weeks training for Omar Daley to get him up to speed and get his visa / work permit sorted. Looking forward to seeing him and the Humph running at the swede.

According to the beeb, there's a mystery injury doubt for the game. McCall's saying nowt. Murphy perhaps?

Lawleff in for Humphries, see who is the best of the smelling pistakes.

And who the feck is Lawleff? Twice this week the beeb listed this player in our squad. Lawleff isn't even a proper name fer feck's sake, did they not think "hey that name doesn't look right."

neither Hutch nor Sutton starting today.

Tommy McLean for your best pals that have stuck by you through the hard times and Eck McLeish for your anyone who is likely to undo all of your careful plans, hard work and completely ruin your wedding.

Shocked when I saw who was on the bench yesterday, nothing against them but we really need more options on the bench. The kids will come good eventually but we need one or two more experienced players coming off the bench when we are chasing a goal or defending a lead.

Z.F.A. signed specifically for the U-19s eh? Not another Charalambous-type fiasco I hope.

Very nice, the sponsor bothers me though; any need to write 'KIA' twice? Not complaining mind, would be nice to have an internationally recognised sponsor for a change.

Changed my mind.... Worst of the worst has to be Alec McLeish; awful centre-half for us and seemed to be trying to find even worse players than himself when he became our manager.

Roberto martinez?

Shaun Fagan muted? Bit harsh.

Mibbe the owner is a billionaire oil tycoon and a secret 'well fan just waiting to pump his cash into Fir Park?
