YassinMoutaouakil Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I reckon it's probably a disadvantage in psychological/physical fatigue terms but I always quite like when we have a few games in hand. In my head I'm always adding e.g, 6 points onto our points tally until the game does actually get played and we then lose. Also happy for us to f**k St Mirren and Killie about as much as possible after they both got games against us re-arranged in the covid season because they couldn't wash their hands properly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hopefully the first of a few additions to the team. I think I've asked this before but does anyone know what became of the Motherwell Supporters Trust? I was having a bit of a tidy up and came across some paperwork but it's from 2003/4 and the last tweets I can see were from 2012. I take it this was where WellTrustFC came from and it led to the Well Society but can't see any confirmation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 They were slightly different legal entities iirc but essentially Well Worth Saving became the Trust which in turn became the Society. Re Blaney, good luck to him but not convinced he's what we need atm...hope I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Mentioned this the other week but I noticed Bevis put up a photo dump from November on his IG and had his knee in a brace and crutches. Is there a chance we might be looking at another CB on top of Blaney if Big Bev is out for any length of time? Much like @Handsome_Devil Blaney isn’t exactly the profile of CB I was expecting and that isn’t in any way a slight on him. #welcomeshane and all that. To be clear, everything I’ve seen about Blaney looks positive eg: @gregthewellfan’s reports and @RandomGuy.’s radar but he definitely feels more of a project than someone who’s going to drop into our defence in January and sort us the f**k out.

Welltrust FC were the MSTs team aye, After I'd had to pack it in they became something like the Motherwell FC Supporters Society I was told. (only the fitba team) dunno about the demise of the MST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I was conceived Eddie Nolan was going to the be the Tom Aldred type defender we were crying out for whenever we signed him so I will definitely not throw any pre judgement out there. I know what you mean though, still would like a no nonsense type. Any other rumours doing the rounds? Did someone mention Harry Milne at thistle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at flash score, looks as though he is a left back, got a few goals to his name as well. Could be a good shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Seems swerving or being outswerved by Zak Rudden was the right move with hindsight. 4 league goals from 16 appearances (8 starts) averaging 56' a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Shane Blaney following in the footsteps of Harry Kampmann and Neil Tarrant as someone we've snapped up after they humped is out of a cup.

Archie McSquackle Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I went to a Thistle game earlier this season and thought he was the outstanding player on the park. One game admittedly but I was very impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, it's also the fact that Blaney is, by all accounts, a left sided centre back which is where we've got Lamie playing who's not only currently our vice captain but also our most consistent CB (low bar as that is). I mean, we've been a CB light since we cut Ojala loose in the summer without replacing him so for that alone #welcomeShane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Not many in due to leave this summer I'd be sad to see go. I'd expect Hammy to extend all the boys he worked with at youth level (Johnson, Spiers, Cornelius). I think a lot of us are wondering if Efford's contributions before his injury were a corner being turned or normal service to resume. I've never been one to think one swallow makes a summer and found some of the lauding over him after a pretty average to poor 9 months prior to be mind boggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
