that hat

As kids playing football in Earnock I started looking for a team to support, one of my classmates supported Celtic so I decided I would also support Celtic. But I quickly learned that there was an intractable divide and Celtic was on the wrong side as far as my household was concerned. Another friend supported Aberdeen, so that was no use, and Weeyin supported Motherwell. So when Motherwell played Rangers a few weeks later my Blue Nosed father happily took me to the game, probably hoping I'd be impressed with his boyhood team and feeling confident that their 5 - 0 win would convince me to support the team in blue... ...But I've been a Dosser ever since that game in 1974. And to be fair my father did continue to take me to the games, even when it meant driving passed Ibrox on our way to Fir Park from our new home in Renfrewshire.

The white paint drying!

Reading his profile on the official site brings home the length of service he has given to MFC and as he approaches the state retirement age was wondering if he deserves recognition for the number of crocked players he's managed to rehabilitate and put back on the pitch? With klimpl and McLean being the latest to return after major injury and surgery.

Still to be replaced but always has been Bobby Graham. Though I enjoyed watching Willie Watson play, only because he lived locally and was glad to chat to wee 'Well supporters.

What I've always wanted, a model of a horse drawn fire engine!!!

Contributed nothing of any significance to today's match except for a decent headed attempt. However he wasn't alone, none of the first team squad members did anything of note.

Is it pay at the gates? I feel my years in Dunlop are drawing me to a wee visit to the Moffat Stand.

But on this occasion there must be quite a bit of explaining to do to explain why two stands offering the same view and specification are being charged so differently. Flow this is definitely one for MFC to investigate, I'll speak to you at Bathgate.

But Craigan wasn't playing!!

Klimpl's name was included on that list during the Reporting Scotland clip.

An excuse to bring Stuart Elliot back to visit Fir Park.

Excellent news , thoroughly deserved.

Kick-off

Thanks for the update Flow.

I hope 'Well have the two Hearts goals on video. Lesson 1 on how to take a throw-in that will threaten the opponent's goal rather than just giving it away. Hearts posed little threat tonight, but that tells you just how impotent 'Well were.

I remember the great success 'Well had under the management of the great Reuben Bennett: before it's corrected

^ stick with 1/ as I'm not aware of Esson joining us for next season.

^ Falkirk (H) and Kilmarnock(H) in 94/95 then Kilmarnock (A) in 95/96

Tactical move, he just looked totally out of the game and with Inverness pressing for the equalizer Smith was contributing little to the game. Clarkie's body language as he left the pitch and his decision to go straight to the dressing room suggested he was not a happy bunny with being substituted.

And also Bob Malcolm, in contrast to McGarry's enthusiastic celebration and Dairylea's polite applause.

I could have writen that except: McCurry was possibly a bit too lenient towards 'Well on a couple of occasions, and the songs directed at both Celtic and Esson were totally uncalled for.

They're not 'Well fans in fancy dress for Comic Relief? Or Stuart Kennedy and his mates heading back up north?

Today's BBC

...and if the directors have anything to do with it Motherwell fans will be kept back to let our glorious visitors leave in their own time.

I'm 100% sure that the incident won't be shown on Scotsport.
