Why can Motherwell supporters not take pride in our players being capped for Scotland? Neither keeper tonight could be faulted for the goals. But some need to nit-pick. Why?

Talking generally rather than about individuals but we've seen over and over again, both Scotland at international level and Motherwell at European level were we are on the football ladder. We are miles behind the leading nations at international level, on par with minnows at club level and it's all going to get worse since we've literally given up on producing youth players in Scotland. I mean there are literally about 4 young Scots getting game time in the Premiership this season (Lennon Miller, Kilmarnock's David Watson and...at a push....Josh Reid at Ross County and Ryan Duncan at Aberdeen). That's it. And if anyone says "Oh, all the good Scottish youths go down to England now" well I make it three Scottish youth players that have gone down south and made it through to club and international level (Gilmour, Hanley, Hyam). Everyone else is non Scots qualifying through a parent. So until I see more evidence I don't have much hope in the English system producing Scottish talent outside the 'yir granny wis fae Castlemilk' route. We've qualified for the Euros and that's great and all but domestically and internationally we are heading straight off a very tall cliff.

We are 5th after 8 games having played both the Old Firm. But then again you have used the R word a couple of times already this season so it's par for the course.

But the longer we wait the more chance we have of getting our full squad back and available

Another week off might not be a bad thing for us.

Does that include Harry Maguire?

Some people love to be like you. I’m not jealous of that pursuit.

Totally agree about goalie situation, Clark and oor Liam turn up to every squad but hey ho Angus Gunn suddenly decides he's Scottish again just after Gordon out injured ..co-incidence!!. But to be honest Gunn not done anything wrong so far With regards to 3 I mentioned it's just my own view. Yes in past have been great and more than contributed but I dont think are good enough at this moment. Adams just isn't clinical in front of goal, Christie brings loads of energy but no end product and with Armstrong it's just pure jealousy as he has a lovely head of hair. 🤪🤪

Didn't cover himself in glory there.
