Ya Bezzer!

One one hand supporters criticise authorities for giving away Scottish football on the cheap. On the other hand supporters criticize authorities for trying to maintain a level of sponsorship income. Scottish football could have a sponsor easily, that's not the problem. It's getting a sponsor willing to pay the asking price. Better to go two or three seasons without a sponsor but keep the price up or lower it and reduce the sponsorship income in the long term?

Maybe we could get Sutton and Vigurs signed up now.

I've said before I don't expect too many changes next season. The goalkeeper situation is a tricky one. For me Hollis is a better goalkeeper than Nielsen and McCall/Marshall obviously agree since he is the no.1. But it's Hollis that is out of contract and not Nielsen. I don't think it's McCall's style to let a player go that's not really made any terrible mistakes. I think we may start next season with the two same goalkeepers unless an agreement can be made with Nielsen to move him on. Hutchinson will go. So we need a new centre half and to be fair we probably had to made a change there anyway given the number of goals we've conceded this season. No reflection on Hutchinson but making a change there might not be the worst thing for the team. I expect most of the other key players to sign on again, including Lionel Ainsworth. This is the situation regarding contracts Nielsen - 2015 Hollis - out of contract Stewart - out of contract Hutchinson - out of contract Hammell - out of contract Reid - out of contract Ramsden - 2015 Kerr - 2015 Francis Angol - 2015 Cummins - 2015 McManus - 2016 Lasley - out of contract McFadden - out of contract Ainsworth - loan return Vigurs - 2015 Lawson - 2015 Carswell - 2015 Sutton - 2015 McHugh - 2015 Moore - 2015 Anier - 2016

Yeah forgot it was only the last home game but didn't Jamie Murphy score a last minute penalty in the Rangers game?

Not only a last minute goal but also virtually the last kick of the season! The Philliben equalizer is a good call. The Fitzpatrick one is probably the best though. How there were no fatalities on the very steep Easter Road stands I don't know! Absolute bedlam.

Tom Hateley scored a last minute free kick against St. Mirren, what, 2 seasons ago now?

Last season we had 3 wins and 2 defeats. Season before that we had 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. So certainly the best post split under McCall.

Always one result out.

He's moving up the property ladder from a puffin burrow to an overturned rowing boat.

Superb.

For the tannoy announcers sake I hope we don't get Zawisza Bydgoszcz.

I was listening to the radio so that's the first time I've seen it. Not as blatant as I had been led to believe.

Don't think anyone under contract will be leaving especially McHugh since Moore is now out for a long period. Speaks volumes though that Cummins couldn't get a game at Dundee in front of Kyle Benedictus.

No, it was a rocket into the top corner and he got fingers to it.

Just having a wee look at the goalkeepers. ............................LH......GN. 0 conceded.......3.......4. ........................... 1 conceded.......5.......3. ........................... 2 conceded.......3.......3. ........................... 3 conceded.......2.......6. ........................... 4 conceded.......0.......1. ........................... 5 conceded.......0.......2.

I think any player that has 3 shite games for Motherwell over a 40 match season is probably a stick on for Player of the Season.

Home is basically not bad at all - wee bit too much superfluous trim but other than that no complains. Away strip I'm not too sure about to be honest.

Lasley has been our best and most consistent performer over the season. Probably next I'd have Sutton and not just for his goals. In third place I'd have Ian Vigurs, took a wee while to settle in but has generally been very good over the last 6 months or so and is a bit of a class act when he's on his game.

Randolph was superb, he literally made a handful of mistakes in three seasons. Ruddy on the other hand let in some real howlers at times especially after he came back for his second loan spell. One that springs to mind was in the 6-6 draw that would have got a Nielsen and probably a Hollis jeered off the park. Randolph for me was the best goalkeeper I've seen at Fir Park in what's now 4 decades of watching the team so Hollis has had a hard act to follow and I think he's suffered due to the comparison. I'd be fine with him being the no.1 next season but what I'm not fine with is him being no.1 next season and missing 2/3rds of the matches through injury.

Standard wage seems to be $48,500. Wouldn't mind it myself but not a lot in the football world. Guessing most established first team players in the Scottish Premiership would be on at least twice than much.

I agree it look innocuous at first but you can always tell when a player isn't faking when they lie still. And he was lying still for a long time. Referee should have stopped the match long before he did.

That was outrageous. Moore was lying there for about 5 minutes before he got treatment.

Didn't seen many polis at the match yesterday - the biggest waste of money in football. So stewards are preferable if we have to have them. I also don't see any harm on kids running on the pitch at the end of the season as long as it is all in a good spirit. In the past we've had an undesirable element trying to goad opposition fans and players but from what I saw last night it was just kids running around - hardly a big problem. There were a few adults though......

Jennings isn't even the type of player we need. We have Lasley, Carswell, Leitch, Vigurs and Lawson who can all play in central midfield. We need to replace Ainsworth and I think we will....with Ainsworth. We could do with a Jamie Murphy type player. Someone that can play off the left with a bit of pace and trickery. Francis-Angol hasn't done too badly recently but I don't think his performances have been strong enough over the course to think of him as an automatic first choice. We'll probably have to replace Hutchinson with a new centre half. If Reid comes in next season he can cover in a few positions. I don't actually see many changes for next season, I think most of the guys out of contract will sign on again and most of the players we'd want to move on are contracted another year. We could do with two or three new faces just to freshen up the squad though.
