Sorry about that

Regardless of being midweek or weekend, Newcastle always travel in their masses.

Any news/rumours/idea if you'll be getting Kallum Higginbotham back?

Difference is, Martinez played football, Pulis played the bullying, long ball game. Plus Pulis was far too old to wear a tracksuit!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22545324 I can't comment on the other 3 but I reckon Odejayi would do a job in the SPL, he scored goals for fun for Cheltenham in League One before we signed him, he had an awful time at Oakwell and never really got a look in at Rotherham. He's bloody massive, powerful, with pace to burn. Just my opinion, of course

He seems to have impressed at Brentford, before losing in the League One Play Off Final to Yeovil Town. As you say, look at Vaz Te, it was a pleasure to watch him play in a BFC shirt, an amazing talent.

It's good to see the club not being held to ransom. What do 'Well fans think of Clayton Donaldson? He seems to be linked to quite a few clubs in England, would he be a good replacement for Higdon IF he signed for someone else?

You're on, mate. I have nothing but total respect for Motherwell FC and their fans so it's a difficult subject to voice my opinion on, if we got him and he improved our team then I'm all for it, but I wouldn't want to see Motherwell lose out at the same time. The only answer is to prize O'Grady away from the pigs!

He could when he loses the bet I'm not saying we should/shouldn't go for Higdon or anything, just posting what I read this morning.

The reason we were in that position in thefirst place was the buffoon we had in charge up until January where we werelucky if we picked up 20 points. Since losing at Peterborough on 3rdJanuary I think we lost 5 games and were a completely different team. I’m happyto wager you £20 to the charity of your choice that we don’t finish in thebottom 5 this coming season.

Barnsley are chasing Motherwell striker Michael Higdon. The Star understands Reds boss David Flitcroft is a big admirer of Higdon, a player who scooped Scotland’s Players’ Player of the Year award last season. Higdon netted 27 goals in 43 appearances in an impressive campaign in 2012-2013 for the Steelmen, one which also saw the 29-year-old hitman score nine goals in as many games. Higdon’s goals and match-winning performances were a significant factor in the club finishing second to champions Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. But the player also attracted headlines for all the wrong reasons when he was arrested on suspicion of assault at a Glasgow nightclub only a few hours after scooping his prestigious PFA award. The Liverpool-born marksman, later released without charge, apologised for the misdemeanor and admitted: “I’m annoyed at myself for getting into a situation like that because it’s not me. “I’m not the type of lads who goes out clubbing or to bars. I’m a country pub type of guy. He added: “I should have known better than getting into that kind of situation.” Higdon is currently a free agent after his two-year contract at Fir Park finished at the end of last season. Motherwell were hoping to get their most prize asset with a new contract, but Higdon revealed: “I’ve just got to leave my options open and see what’s there at the end of the season.” A chance to play for the Reds in the Championship could prove too tempting to resist for Higdon, although The Star understands the former Crewe, Falkirk and St Mirren striker has attracted interest from plenty of other clubs keen to secure his signature. Flitcroft has expressed a desire for more firepower up front. The sale of Craig Davies last season to Bolton left the Reds short of attacking options, although Sheffield Wednesday loan signing Chris O’Grady and former Ipswich Town forward Jason Scotland helped the club retain their Championship status. Both players scored six league goals, while Chris Dagnall. But although Dagnall finished the club’s overall leading scorer with 10 goals - five in the league and five in cup competitions - it was Davies who finished the club’s top league goalscorer with eight goals. Defender Jimmy McNulty, meanwhile, is expected to pen his new one-year deal at Barnsley today. He missed much of last season with a hamstring injury and played just 14 games for the Reds. But the versatile defender, who joined the club two years ago, is one of seven players to have been offered new deals by the Championship club. Striker Jason Scotland has signed his new one-year contract, while defender Tom Kennedy and Kelvin Etuhu have both agreed to sign new two-year deals at Oakwell

I watched the game on BBC Alba and was impressed with your new home kit, thought it looked better in action than it did compared to the pictures on Facebook.

I never knew he played in a central role for Motherwell too. So far this season due to injuries/suspensions/formations he's played in a 3 man midfield, on both wings, as a right back and a right wing back. We might even give him a stint between the sticks next season!

That annoys me when we do that, randomly wear our away kit when the home kit will suffice! I quite like your new away kit, the more I look at it.

Where do you wear an away kit? Hearts/Dundee United/Aberdeen?

I can only go on what I've seen over the past few years, lots of running around and effort, not much final product.

JOB runs around a lot, I'll give him that much!

From a match involving Motherwell, which would it be?

Derby County are trying something like that this season, no idea how it's going though.

I remember a story years ago about Manchester United employing a couple of Germans to start writing songs for their fans to give them some originality. My favourite of all time is the, "Your Dad's a c*nt, and so are you" aimed at Darren Ferguson.

Just wanted to quickly wish you all the very best for this eveing. Regardless of the result I'm sure you'll enjoy the occasion!! Here's to a 'Well win

Thank feck for that Cracking gesture by Ross County, nice to see a club putting the fans first.

Is that just in Scotland, or Britain as a whole? I don't fancy going to watch Barnsley sober...

You lot sound worse than Barnsley fans! I'd have put Motherwell as favouries, along with Celtic to be 2 of the top 3 teams, not 10th/11th. Either way, good luck!
