well fan for life

At this point I can't wait to see what he's cooking up for Saturday.

While I don't think Gent is a left back by any stretch, it is nuts that we haven't attempted to stick him as a wide player. While we might be hesitant to throw him in as he's a wean you then have to wonder what on earth the point in signing him was.

I am still fucking raging about the away game at Ibrox when they'd been relegated and we were literally top of the league. From days out we were already giving excuses before we completely shat the bed.

I don't think you need an inside line to know that, though. We've lost Burrows, Lasley & Hammell who were at the core of the club for decades and haven't replaced 2/3 of them. We then appointed Derek Weir as the interim while we searched for a new CEO but have not managed to find anyone. He clearly doesn't want the job longer than he absolutely has to so we're unlikely to have any sort of long term plan. Kettlewell was clearly given the instruction over the summer to trim our massively bloated squad back, which he done successfully. What we're left with is a squad that is paper thin and a lot of our summer signings are proving to be questionable. We signed a left back who has an injury record as long as your arm and, shockingly, he's out long term now. We have no other left backs around so we're pissing about sticking right backs over there who look massively uncomfortable. We had our whole midfield operation pinned around a 17 year old and now he's out we are unable to hold onto the ball. The solution? Stick a striker in at centre mid where, shockingly, he was all over the place last night. Like I said earlier I'm not even that arsed about binning Kettlewell because we're going to end up in the same place very quickly, imo.

I'm not even particularly pushing for Kettlewell to get sacked tbh. Even if we bin him and win on Saturday it's going to be a sticking plaster over a gaping wound and we'll be back in this position in about 6 months time. Not going to retread old ground but the club is a complete mess from top to bottom and I can't see any of it improving any time soon.

Daft starting line up? Three subs at half time? The rest of the subs being throwing shite at a wall and hoping it sticks? It's. Hammellball. Baby.

Wilkinson annoys f**k out me because you can see there's a player in there. He doesn't show it nearly enough though.

We'll probably score but will definitely do some clown car stuff at the back.

Honestly expected Mugabi's goal to get disallowed. Going by how soft the penalties given last weekend to certain clubs were you could feasibly blow the whistle and give a foul whatever way you want looking at VAR.

When you see it in real time it's a coming together that's going to happen in a game of football. The fact the referee goes to the monitor and the first thing they get met with is the 4 frames of the player's leg straight at that height is a complete nonsense. I'm very sick of VAR. It doesn't half suck the joy out of football.

Couldn't name you an Accies player these days and I think we've played Airdrie about twice I can remember and I'm in my 30s. As far as other players in the division around us I am a fan of Miovski at Aberdeen. I think he leads the line really well. Internationally I think Bellingham is different gravy. Watched the Madrid game during the week and watching him glide round the park with the number 5 and a pair of red & black Adidas Predators he's no far off a ringer for Zidane.

Always rated that lad Shaw.

I've just watched Sportscene and here's my opinion. Dan Casey is fucking shite.

Agree with most of this. I've said before that the club is a mess from top to bottom. Burrows left, we put Derek Weir in charge as an "interim" but have clearly failed to attract anyone to take the job. So now Weir is the guy in charge but is hardly likely to do anything radical/long term because he clearly has no interest in taking up the post permanently. There's goals in this team but the defence is atrocious. We went 1-0 up then got the tent & campfire out in our own 18 yard box when we have shown all season that we are not good enough to defend consistently. It's fair enough to do it at Parkhead but at home to Dundee is grim.

My goodness. Zak Jules eat your heart out.

Absolutely blows my mind that more decent young Scottish players don't make a go of it abroad. If you're offering me some shitehole commuter town near London or going somewhere class I'm going for the Lewis Ferguson approach: Bologna is also a class place, tbf. Impossible no to be having a good time.

I reckon wherever he ends up next he'll be a revelation.

I know supporting a club like Motherwell is a rollercoaster but it's full on, neck snapping whiplash in the last few years watching us go from one extreme to the other. Can we just have like 2 months of bang average form?

We all know that the We Will Be Back Shortly woman was the POTY then anyway.

Spittal LWB, Wilkinson up front by himself, SOD doing whatever he fancies. Easy points, lads.

Honestly I'd crease myself laughing if this happened.

Jock Brown must have been furious.
