Ya Bezzer!

Really? He had plenty chances? Between 2007 and 2015 he had 9 league starts. In season 2009/10 he started 2 league matches on the trot, the only time that ever happened while he was at the club. Overall his record of league starts was 2014/15 - 1 2013/14 - 3 2012/13 - 2 2011/12 - 1 2010/11 - 0 2009/10 - 2 2008/09 - 0 2007/08 - 0 Sure he had a lot more substitute appearances but you can hardly expect a player to come on getting 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there to prove himself.

Was at the Queens Park v Clyde match today and although they lost the match I was quite impressed with Queens Park. Played good football on the ground and most of their players had decent technique and pace. Liam Brown, only 17 years old, looked like he could easily play at a higher level. He's very light weight but I think it will be worth keeping an eye on this guy.

McHugh was unfortunate in that he was trying to break through at a time when we had very strong players in the forward postions. I'd never seen a Motherwell player score 20 goals in nearly 30 years of supporting the club, then we have two players do it two seasons in a row. On top of that he's been up against some of the best forward players the club has had in the modern era - McFadden, McDonald. He didn't do enough with us and it was time for him to move on but I don't see how anyone can say he's not a top level player based on the game time he had with us. He's got 8 goals in 12 starts for Falkirk this season and the Championship is not much different in quality than most of the Premiership. Most of his goals have been against the better teams in the league too - Rangers, Hibs, Raith Rovers so you can't even say he's scored his goals against Alloa's and Dumbarton's. I'm guessing Lee Miller won't feature for Falkirk next season if they come up but they have signed Nathan Austin from East Fife.

Manchester City are a defensive shambles and look how much money they have. Defending is a dying art in modern football, refereeing and new rules have made it very difficult for defenders, even something like the modern interpretation of the offside law means defenders can't even be sure that someone who is offside will be flagged. Defending a set piece? Any physical stuff or shirt pulling and you are risking a penalty while attacking players are only risking a foul, giving attackers a big advantage there if there is a tussle. The modern game has neutered the defender and across football even at the highest level the standard of defender has dropped dramatically. McManus was very poor last season but I think he's been decent enough this season and certainly isn't any worse than most of the rest of the defenders in this league. I mean, look at who Celtic have at the back - Boyata, Ambrose, etc. Who are we going to attract with 10, 12, 15 times less the resources?

I have Pearson on 9. 7 league and 2 cup.

Johnson has the natural talent but I think his stamina is a bit suspect, he often blows himself out of matches far too early. Also he needs to improve his overall effectiveness and consistency but in terms of technical ability he's probably our best player. I would say though that I think Jamie Murphy left us a significantly better player than Johnson is now and he went to League 1.

Time to let these old boys go!

I gave him my MotM award against Inverness.

Went for Cadden. Johnson had some nice moments in the first half but weirdly he was better at left back than he was after Chalmers came on. In fact the second half he was pretty anonymous. This was my last match of the season so I can declare Scott McDonald my player of the season for 2015/16. 6 - Scott McDonald 5 - Louis Moult 4 - Kieran Kennedy 3 - Connor Ripley 1 - Morgaro Gomis 1 - Stephen Pearson 1 - Marvin Johnson 1 - Josh Law 1 - Lionel Ainsworth 1 - Stevie Hammell 1 - Chris Cadden

But more if no fans had went on the pitch. Don't think we needed to bring in 300 stewards and 800 feet of fishing net to stop that happening.

Though we started well but about half way through St. Johnstone came more into the game and took their chances to take the lead. After that our energy just seemed to drop off and to be fair St. Johnstone are a stuffy team to play against at times. The end of season lap of honour was a farce. I think there has to be a serious discussion about the level of measures taken today. True, our own fans have often let us down but the scenes at the end of the match were utterly embarrassing. What were the costs to the club today and how many season ticket renewals will it cost to pay for them?.

BBC reporting we have made an official bid for Dunfermline's Faissal El Bakhtaoui.

I don't rate Dow. I just think he's one of these guys who is a good footballer but doesn't have a position that he actually excels in. Where do you play him? Up front? Cos he doesn't score goals. Dixon will be 30 in November so he would only be a short term replacement for Hammell if that is what you are looking for. Ofere was decent with Inverness but hasn't done much with Dundee Utd and he will probably be on high-ish wages. If you look at his recent record Inverness was really the only club he did well at, excluding Caley he's got 1 goal for his last three clubs. Like Dixon he's the wrong side of 30.

St. Johnstone recently went to Tynecastle and won 3-0 and then went to Rugby Park and lost 3-0. Kinda hard to predict what Saints team will turn up.

If the workies did it for nothing and there were no other costs involved other than the actual seats.

Not taking about one game though.

As I stated earlier Aberdeen have only lost once all season at Pittodrie so this was always going to be a very tough match. Add in having nothing really to play for and changes to the team and it's not really a big surprise, especially when we give away an early penalty. See Laing got subbed at half time. Was he injured or did he just get hooked? Got to say I don't rate the guy and he's miles behind Kennedy and Hall for me.

Dylan Mackin got his third goal of the week this afternoon. And the Doomsdee Derby looks like it is on. That's all the positives for this afternoon.

Should pay attention to me!

I think I'm right in saying we've had 3 penalties awarded for us. Big difference.

He was never a regular and its unlikely he's going to displace Moult/McDonald and then there is Fletcher and if the rumours are anything to go by we are looking at other strikers to bring in. Players his age need to be playing football. I don't have anything against him being part of the squad next season, I'm thinking more of his own development.

I've said it before but even if Motherwell offer Craig Moore another deal he should move on. Just had a great season with Ayr United and he'll find a team and a first team spot easily in the Championship. If he is good enough to play at the top level he will eventually gravitate back up to the top league. No point sitting on a bench while your career passes you by for another year. If you haven't broken into the first team by the age of 20, 21 I think you need to move on. Hall and Cadden have done it. Moore hasn't. Good luck to the lad but I think it would be a waste of talent if he was kicking his heels for another 10 months.

Yeah that article is a joke. Dean Brill hasn't played a game this season so how the hell can he be in the Top 12! Danny Rodgers will almost certainly be ahead of Scott Brown next season at Aberdeen so why is he behind him in the list? Wes Foderingham is poor and probably won't be featuring next season for Rangers. Alan Mannus is 4th despite having a poor season and losing his place in the St. Johnstone team to young up and comer Zander Clark. Best keepers in the league this season where Jamie MacDonald, Tomas Cerny, Michael McGovern, Scott Fox and Scott Bain. First half of the season Danny Ward would have been in there but was recalled.

Was surprised to see Ferguson and Mackin as I thought they were on loan at Airdrie. In fact Mackin scored for Airdrie at the weekend unless I imagined it! Anyway, great to see a young Motherwell team triumph, they deserved it in the end. Thought we started slow though and Hearts were the better team until their keeper made a rick of a corner and then we went 1-0 up. After that we found our stride and I always felt we could score as we were too hot for them in the wide areas. Of course Motherwell being Motherwell we made it hard for ourselves with two poor goals to give away, a free kick right before half time and then a bit of a defensive blunder. Overall I thought we looked much more potent going forward than Hearts did. Robbie Leitch's goal looked a beauty from where I was sitting, will look forward to seeing that on the highlights. Falconer finished his chance well too. Silverwear, maybe the big team will follow suit in the near future and it will be interesting to see how these young players get on as well.

Will Sam Nicholson play? Doubt it if Souttar isn't. Liam Smith started on Saturday so I don't know if he will play again on Wednesday. Jordan McGhee will probably play, Dario Zanatta, who apparently is a decent player, as well. Gary Oliver is out on loan at Queen of the South (and scoring a few goals) so he won't be there.
