[Motherwell FC @MotherwellFC]

The man who made it all possible.
The man who had his doubters before a ball was kicked.
The man who has shown what we can do as a football club.
The man who will remembered for years to come.

Jens is at the wheel 🧡

@brianrussell73 We're about 10-15 points behind where we should be based on referee/VAR decisions and could finish 5th. VAR should be a good thing for football but they've just created another opportunity to shaft clubs like Motherwell. It's a shambles.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@msm_monitor And is now so far down the page that you would easily miss it. Funny that.

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@brianrussell73 Feels like we sacrificed a chance at the Scottish Cup for a go at the league and it hasn't paid off. This season has been an absolute joy, though, and I wouldn't swap it for any of the past 30. Still need to look up at 2nd or 3rd. Promising future for the club.

[Rico @ThatBoiRico]

Neither Rangers or Celtic will win the title but they’ll definitely have a say on where it will go.

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@RosskoC Surely the Celtic scouting system will have a few options that the board to spend millions on.

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@RosskoC Why would Motherwell sell one of their best players to a rival at a crucial stage of the season?

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@BBCSportsound will the first 45 minutes of the Celtic game tomorrow be spent talking about the 38 teams that are playing today?

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@AndrewWilson The word "should" doing some heavy lifting. I think his da has benefitted from saying his boy is on the books at Rangers.

[monorail music @Monorail_Music]

We have a pair of tickets to give away for Camera Obscura's gig at the bandstand in Kelvingrove Park. They'll be playing w/ The Vaselines and The Cords on Wednesday 4th of June.

Repost to win!

We'll choose a winner on Monday.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@POTUS What a despicable human being you must be.

[SNP Islay, Jura & Colonsay @SNPIJC]

If only we had been warned that this was coming our way... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Scotland’s Coefficient @scotlandscoeff1]

🔚 Theo Bair has contract terminated by St Johnstone last July

🆓 Motherwell sign him on a free, 2 days before league season starts

❌ Most fans in the comments and quotes slating the player & the signing (some exceptions attached)

--

💰 19 goals & assists later and the Steelmen receive their third highest fee, ever, and Bair gets a move to a top five league!

--

👏 Well done to Motherwell for identifying something in Theo that a lot of fans hadn't seen

💷 It's good to see another £1m+ transfer fee received into Scottish football - only the 6th in Motherwell's history

🍀 Their 1994 record transfer fee received, from Celtic, stood for 26 years until Celtic broke it again when signing David Turnbull

@HeraldSportScot @PaisleySteelman Was a key player then when they got to the play-offs he didn't get a look-in. Very harsh and the team were always better when he was in it.

[Alan Rutherford @Alan_Rutherford]

@TheWellSociety have all emails gone out? I've checked my spam and inbox all day and nothing yet.

[PoliticsJOE @PoliticsJOE_UK]

Stephen Flynn gets two rounds of applause in less than 90 seconds by completely debunking 10 years of "race to the bottom" anti-migrant politics.

[Oli Dugmore @OliDugmore]

I think this is an incredibly important point from @StephenFlynnSNP about danger of Farage and Labour pandering to his politics.
