Minority methinks. Maybe expand on your reasoning fella? A definite 'yes' from me. The return of Lasley and Hammell to the fold has done us no harm...

“We are calling on all chairmen and CEO’s in the SPL to vote for honesty and integrity. “A clear and appropriate punishment must be imposed on any club who fails to operate in that manner, irrespective of which particular club that happens to be." The game's up folks... Honesty and integrity from that lot? What's the chances they got another behind with the rent QC to pen that up and dropped to the media?

See it as a positive step. It's about making a good team better and forcing change from a position of strength from what I can see. It IS the future for us, it should be embraced such. Although... As much as we've produced in recent times - we still find ourselves a little behind other clubs in terms of structure and in some cases facilities etc. Motherwell currently find themselves outwith the 6 'elite' youth development clubs of which the city clubs of Rangers (who knows what'll become of that shower), Celtic, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen (who've just scrapped their West of Scotland programme due to a lack of funding) and St Mirren... Just my input from limited knowledge of the subject. We have others on this board who can offer a better insight into the current pro youth set-up in Scotland due their/their kids involvement. I'd be interested to see their opinion as to how we compare to others.

In a perfect world? Yes. In times of austerity? Only by demand by those of damp underwear it seems...

How come? He'd struggle to get a game at Motherwell Miners.

Eh? Suspect you'll be awaiting that reply for some time... I'm all for transparency in the matter, but, by your logic - being privy to each and every financially sensitive decision taken by our board of directors is a new one and one unlikely to happen.

May be slow on the uptake here... What are your plans if the club vote as you wish 'No' and are defeated by those in chase of the Currant Buns filthy lucre? How will you even know? Don't expect the club will reveal how they intend to/have voted, or a leak to the media... Still punish the club will you?

How do others size up? Likely be down to change the wee fella's. No mistaking the beauty of it mind

Sorted that for you...

Never said it did... Killie supporting fella I had working for me at weekend mentioned it.

Kilmarnock bound methinks rather than our scouting system in effect.

Eh? Hope all the moderators don't accept your stance. Was mid-post reply so missed your inane retort... Where have I 'refused to take on board anything that anyone says'? Using the Rangers saga to turn your back on the club like you have described no matter how you dress it up... Not even debatable that you're punishing your club or am I missing something?

Been scunnered with Scottish football for many a year, is current apathy really anything new? As it says in the term 'support'... Failing to offer such IS punishing our club no? Suspect we'll be doing a 'Who's walking away thread?' shortly

Now we're welding A thank you from me Mr McCall. Don't think reply was required, we are where we are... Time for those who suggest punishing the club they portray to 'support' to rap up and get with the programme. And from somebody who would have driven the manager back Southwards after 6 weeks too

A quite perfect summing up of the situation your honour

Now yer talking...

I'll second that...

My sympathy goes to the family. He'll be missed by many. Pin no heroes medals.

Used to see that regularly as the road swings round the old Flemington Cross when EVERY kid wore the club colours when playing there. Shouldn't be unusual in the district... Following the two cheeks and media overkill have put paid to that.

He was keen to get Black back from Hearts yesterday... I'd discount that also

Now, breathe...

Chants for a skinny ex-MP who's 6 six feet under the clay weren't by a small minority yesterday... Suited to their pan-republican agenda no doubt, but, offensive in nature none the less and erm, punishable by law. What a waste of council tax, we pay for their hats!

If you were Dundee, Falkirk, sHamilton or the likes - why would you put yourself through the unfair pain of attempting to win promotion from that choker of a league when all you have to do is apply for admittance?

With a footballing knowledge akin to that of DEWELL... Not particularly a path I'd choose to follow, but, the team have done alright out of the return of Lasley and Hammell who didn't exactly set the heather alight there either...
