I couldn’t believe my eyes there….. and then I saw him run back as slowly as me and realised it was him.

I always liked him, I know a lot of the fans didn’t rate him and he was a bit haphazard at times but I think looking at what we have now, he is better.

Twente playing with 2 wingers who are ripping Johnny k and Ewan Wilson apart. who’d have thought playing wingers could do that?

Yeah I had a wee laugh at his name and then googled him. He’s 36 right enough, I’m hoping this heat slows him down.

Go into you tube and type in “twente motherwell” it’s on live- free

I know it’s our first game and a friendly etc but defensively we look worryingly bad. Almost lost a comical goal there. See when we don’t have players at the back with good technique…. Do not …. Repeat not…. Fk about with it at the back with tippy tappy passes. Twente just look a much better side to be fair. anyway…. It’s a pre season game- I’ll not get too worked up.

20mins in and it’s rotten. We lost a poor defensive goal to a guy named Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. Nearly reason enough to turn it off. 34C is a nightmare though

Right enough, I forgot that connection. He’s Some size of a unit, he was certainly wolfing down his lunch at the Shanghai tea house, not the best pre season meal.

Saw big bevis mugabe in Bothwell today with his missus. Kilmarnock maybe?

I just wish once,,,,, just once, that we’d sign a pacey winger, a Chris Humphrey, a Marvin Johnson, I’d even celebrate a Lionel ainsworth. I know to some folk just now it’s old fashioned football and they are not “in style” but for the purpose of entertainment and getting to the bye line and whipping a cross in….. give me wingers all day long.

Fair play to him but I believe that’s the first time in Halliday’s footballing career this has happened. The likelihood of another injury free season at his age is slim. I really hope we see a few players coming in very soon, and getting a proper pre-season in, otherwise we’ll be sending out the batsignal with Tony Watts face on it.

It’s a yes from me, light/sky blue kits always look good, I suppose we have a blue connection from our original colours, more so blue than the vivid yellow and black abominations we’ve hawked in years gone by.

Stevie Frail joining the vampire at Killie. I almost feel sorry for him. Looks like wee eddy munster has signed about a dozen players over the past week….. very Kampman-esque …. Let’s hope the same fate awaits.

There’s nothing honestly better for me than either Celtic or Rangers on the first day of the season at fir park. so many good memories of these games, starts the season with a blast and not to tempt fate, usually some sort of positive result. Cmon the Well.

I wasn’t sure, glad to see him training as I think if he’s fit he’ll make a massive difference to us.

Is Ap Stam fit? I saw some pics of the pre season and he looks like he’s doing the same stuff as the rest of the squad. I was told he was still injured

I’m now beginning to question my knowledge of football players when Kettlewell has just bought Tiffoney. I need to have a long hard look at myself

I see Scott Tiffoney is leaving Dundee. I wouldn’t mind him coming along to fir park. He’s always gave us bother, pacey winger who creates quite a bit.

There’s something about Moses that makes me think we could regret letting him go. He’s got such a weird running style, he’s quite awkward and he’s not my ideal type of striker ,,,,, but he can score goals. I think he’ll do ok wherever he ends up. im not overly fussed about seddon going, I always felt he was average. Both Paton and Davor give their all but I can live with them going. lets hope we see some new faces soon.

I feel for you if that’s the case. I ultimately go to enjoy myself and be with family and friends etc a good performance or result is the icing on the cake. I hope the new manager gives you some joy this season, I sincerely do.

mjc walking down the fir park road lol

He’s been appointed 20 mins ago and he’s not even gave a statement yet…. Completely fkn unacceptable!!! Get him to fk

He’ll need “whit a pearler it wiz” explained to him

His English is exceptional as well, he’ll struggle in Motherwell

There’s always something a little more exciting when a manager comes in and youve never heard his name… ever!!! For that reason alone I’m on board with it lol so pleased it’s not any of the usual suspects and it’s gave me a bit of nostalgia seeing as he managed HB.
