They're 7 quid each, but call it a tenner for the pair. We're going on the hospitality deal now, so I could give them to you about 11 o'clock on Saturday down there if that's any good to you. Think the 100 Club opens at 11 anaw.

Yoshi 1991, you looking for a ticket for a bus? I've 3 going begging for one of the 100 Club buses if you need one.

The players are shite, but the manager signed most of them and can't seem to coach a decent game out of them. So he goes. It's really not difficult to work out how it's gonnae end.

If it is the diagonal band, wonder if Wullie P or anyone else who wore it in the 70s was/will be involved in the launch? No sure modelling it would help sales though.

And it's taps aff weather anyway.

The 5-3 Rangers game where they invaded the pitch (showing impeccable restraint) after we went 2-0 up...just before our 2nd goal Davie Cooper passes to Bobby Russell, who passes to Tommy McLean. Then Willie McVie flattens Gordon Smith, steps over his victim and has a wee look at the Rangers fans as if to say 'Whit aboot it?' Mind you, in the second half he smashed in a beauty of an OG and had to listen to the hoardes singing Willie, Willie, Willie McVie..Karma's a bitch.

The memories of watching they guys play is why some of us fancy a return to the diagonal band. Don't care who wore the yellow Admiral number though, I never want to see that monstrosity at Fir Park again.

My first game was in '74, so I'll always have great memories of the 'sash' strip. It was 10 years before I saw a Motherwell team wearing a top with the hoop/band on it. The hoop may be considered our traditional strip, but it's only been used in just over half of our 129 year history...68 to 61 or thereabouts.

Sevco wearing a black sash? How apt, considering their hammering last week.

Disnae matter who pushed who, it's 6-1 and half a dozen of the other.

The Kerrydale Street page...

Feruz played a grand total of 16 minutes for Blackpool and they're shipping him back to Chelsea because of his attitude. He was also sent back from a loan in Greece, then mumped about a move to Cardiff cos he didn't fancy the club, changed his mind and was knocked back when they had a look at him. Seems to have got into a bit of bother off the field too (not that he spends much time on it). Should be good in the air right enough, with a head that size.

There he is, back row, far right...

While Baraclough is certainly not a keeper...

The SPFL's in there like a tramp eating chips whenever that game's uploaded, unfortunately.

I'll be happy if he doesn't stick him in at right back.

From the best 2 Motherwell teams I've had the pleasure of watching, Graham/Pettigrew & Coyne/Arnott. I'd find it hard to choose between them.

Mibbe the players have been reading the table upside down. Probably while doing headstands as part of their yoga routine.

Said in his post match interview, hopefully hitting rock bottom will spark a response. If it doesn't, he's a goner. And if he isn't, we are.

Stuart McCall's success in the league, up until this season, was beyond what anyone could have realistically expected. But the question has to be asked, did he leave the squad in a better, or worse, state than when he took over. As for Ian Baraclough, I wish him all the best, but his head's on the block now. Black's gone, so his influence can't be blamed anymore and the manager has been allowed to bring in a load of players plus a new assistant. The club wasn't in a relegation or play-off spot when he got the job, even if it was obvious to everyone how poor we were. His brief could only have been to keep us in the league...If results don't pick up soon and we go down, there's no way he'll be given the chance to rebuild and bring us back up.

If the historical kit site's got it right, Patrick's top and socks would've been blue. 'Well's top was definitely claret with a large amber 'hoop'round the neck at this time, socks were apparently claret.

Read a great article a while back about Hughie Ferguson. Apparently, crowds turned up to see him depart Fir Park, many folk having been given a break from work to wave him off. The article also said Ferguson was desperate to return to 'Well after leaving Cardiff and heartbroken when it didn't happen. Clearly a player who should be in or around any all-time great Motherwell team, who's sadly been largely forgotten in the mists of time. There's some footage of him scoring a couple of goals at Fir Park against Partick Thistle (1920s) on YouTube.

More from the same season, v Dundee in the League Cup...

Today's Record says he's signing a new one year deal
