Massively disappointed that there aren't a slew of "he'll no dae" posts on Steelmen after ATS got done for their goal TBH.

It’s definitely not as bad as expected but there unsurprisingly, has been some criticism.

I admire his honesty and I really can’t disagree. Towards the end of the season and particularly in the Scottish Cup Final I thought he was atrocious. I’m not sure if it’s related to the captaincy, but if McHugh thinks it is, then he has done the right thing and it is incredibly admirable. I can’t imagine there would be many other players who would be so truthful.

Pleased that Hartley is captain but I always liked Richie Ripped as captain.

Is that right? Still the second most effective and most used method for driving commercial traffic. 

What's number one? 

I cannot believe that our new website has been launched without e-mail capture. 

It's like putting out a F1 car without tyres. 

Stunning, unbelievable.

I think McHugh has been shrewd if he volunteered to step back and it wasn't the result of a quiet word from the manager. There is a huge element of "jump before you're pushed"  in this but it doesn't make it any less admirable for all that.

It was pretty apparent before September was out last season that given Hartley's signing we probably had an ideal captain there and this is something I've been expecting.

I don't think that McHugh was as bad as some people make out - but he had a few stinkers that hadn't been there in his first season and it is beyond doubt that his confidence was low. I hope this move is a positive one for him and he recaptures his form as there is real competition this season and there are no gaurentees on a starting place...

Smoke signals. The real reason folk weren't allowed to smoke in the Main Stand was to avoid giving off false messages to biplanes circling overhead.

I think McHugh was an easy target for people, particularly some of the roasters that sit near me. Don't get me wrong there were games where he was pretty terrible, but then other games where he was pivotal to our whole team. 

Hartley is an obvious choice for captain, and I'd argue that he was doing the job on the park anyway. His first game for us you could see him barking orders to the rest of the team. Also I fucking love the big man because he is a warrior.

My money would have been on Frear but I don’t think he’ll start often enough to be the top target for the roasters.

Got a feeling ATS will need a good start to avoid the wrath.

Andy you used to be such a happy chap.

Now on this and other social platforms you spend an awful lot of time moaning about other Motherwell fans who are moaning or complaining about things.

Don’t get me wrong some of your gripes are pretty spot on (aka strip moans) but still seems to be pretty consistent at the moment.

Chin up mate. Let’s at least wait till the season starts to have a go at the rest of the support.

Once that happens and the Robbo out thread resurfaces I’ll happily join you.
