It seems the 10 players made redundant when the club went into administration last year will have to wait a bit longer for their cash. The 10 were hoping that the McFadden money would be used to honour their contracts, but a Motherwell spokesman is quoted as saying:
"It is not as simple as getting the transfer money for McFadden and giving it away the next day. The board and the administrator will decide on the club's financial situation over the next few weeks."

Today's Sun reports that we have signed Dunfermline midfielder Jason Dair on a one-year deal. Dair was a free agent after agreeing to leave East End Park last week before the transfer window shut.

The Sun also reports that James McFadden has signed a four-year contract at Everton, with Motherwell receiving 20% of any sell-on fee.

In the same article, Scotland boss Berti Vogts saye he recommended Faddy to Bayer Leverkusen last year, but the German side were quoted £3m for him!

The Under-21s drew 1-1 with Partick Thistle at Firhill on Monday night with David Clarkson scoring an injury time equaliser.
Team: Corr, Neville, Mathie, Barkey, Kinniburgh, Higgins, Wright (Fagan), MacDonald, Clarkson, Craig, Fitzpatrick (Scott).
Subs not used: Ewings, McColl, Donnelly.

I've been asked to publicise the National anti-racism week of action in football on this site.  So here goes...

National anti-racism week of action in football, 16 - 28 October 

This October professional footballers, their clubs, community groups and fans everywhere will join forces and unite behind Kick It Out for the anti- racism week of action.

Last year, all 92 professional clubs organised an event as part of the week alongside 300 community groups, school and libraries. This year the week will be bigger, involving more grassroots, amateur, youth and community organisations.

To help you plan activities as part of the week, Kick It Out has available 30 separate grants of up to £1,000 each and countless T-shirts, badges, stickers, etc.

If you want to apply for the 2003 Community Chest Grants or resources, just send us an e-mail with your address and you'll get more details - the deadline for grants is August 22nd.

If you're looking for ideas as a football fan, try the following:

- Produce an anti-racist leaflet to distribute at a game,
- Work with the club on their anti-racism game during the period,
- Volunteer to help distribute badges, stickers, fanzines outside your stadium,
- Organise a pre-match activity, such as an anti-racism fans friendly,
- Design an display anti-racism banners around the ground,
- Work with a local ethnic minority group to organise an event.

Look out for the United Colours of Football fanzine during the week and check out what's going on where www.kickitout.org
