Once moult stops wearing claret & Amber i hope he goes on to have a long a successful career but I really don't care where he goes. I just want Motherwell to make as much money out of him as possible. Whether that be through a transfer fee or a cup run/league position. We're the Well fans, the players ain't, no matter how much they profess to love the club or fans. They move on and do the same at there next club. That's there job. Just enjoy the good ones while we have them. Then let it go.

And what a lovely sight that would be, to give Louis his standing ovation as he leaves for pastures new at the end of the season with maybe a cup medal to his name. But we are a fan owned business with not a lot of capital and as much as it had proved good business sense to have kept him this time around given the situation we are currently in. If the numbers make financial sense to let go at the next window, then off he goes. Just as he would have before the end of the last window had the cash came in. And life will go on. COYW.

plus Boyle & Hutchinson's percentage. Which would make a sell on clause in jan the way to go. Or run the risk of him signing a pre contract else where.

If there is no intention on Louis part to sign the extension, which he is entitled to do. Then the club should make whatever cash possible in the window with hopefully a nice sell on clause. I think the replacement may already be here in the shape of sid the Lithuanian. Use the money being offered to Louis to get the gaffer on a better contract.

You said he would disappear into obscurity after the semi. Can't be a cup winner then?

I don't really have a problem with the pricing, though I understand others do. However, should we not sell out our allocation, which i would be disappointed if we don't. Any returned tickets could be sold to sevco fans 20× over. Don't really think the sfa are going to worry about what some 'Well fans think about the cost. Get there and get behind the team after all we get 1/4 of the pooled money from both semi finals.

12:15 bloody kick off on a Sunday. Difficult to be as up for this as a floodlit cup match. Don't think the gaffer will be thinking the same though. Will be interesting to see his team selection today. Going for a 2-1 victory, wouldn't be disappointed with a draw. COYW.

And we have the "Lithuanian boy"(any nickname yet?) as an option for the squad now his international clearance has finally came through, should we have any player who is injured or needs rested. Look forward to seeing him play if he's as fast as reported.

recorded it on bt while I was at the game mate.

There could be a number of players we may struggle to hold on to and if things continue that way then we're doing something right. Let's just lap it up while it lasts and hope it lasts a hell of a long time. To drag up an old line. "Time for new heroes" COYW.

Day off today, watched the whole game again. You manage to get a different perspective from the tv. What a performance from every player on the park. The intensity they showed from kick off to the final whistle was incredible. There is no way we should fear rangers in the semi, as long as the ref allows it to be a level playing field. Robinson won't need to worry about changing our play to match them. Just do what we're doing a let them worry about us. Thought the pundits for once were fare to us. Though when did Garry McAllister morph into Tim Vine.

There is absolutely no reason why we can't turn them over again. We have strength in depth on the bench at the moment. And Aberdeen looked totally clueless. Same again for me. 5 home wins in a row. COYW.

I'm giving Ryan my vote. He constantly runs his arse off for the team and does a lot of the dirty work up front for louis. Deserves a lot of recognition for job he's doing at the moment.

Woke this morning really positive about today's game. Hope for a big home support making plenty noise. COYW.

if we manage to progress to the semi final its a very good payday. The money goes into a pot and split between the 4 clubs.

I understand what you mean about the way Boyle went down, however that would imply that the ref was guessing as to whether there was contact or not.

The refs decision should have been made if he seen taits foot being trod on. The theatrics of the arm waving should not influence his decision. So I think tait is guilty of nothing more than over acting a stone wall penalty. Ive heard pundits in the past say that you're unlikely to get a penalty awarded unless you go down.

same channel on Sunday if you're still away.

BT sport 1.

We are 17/4 on bet365. Must be worth a couple of shillings. Cup game at Fir park under the floodlights, what's not to look forward too.

They're there for the taking. Had a look on there site and they don't seem very confident in winning. That'll do for me. 2-1 for the good guys.

best to just ignore him stu.

Never looked like a pen. Don't think we deserved to go 2 down. Saying that, the players need to be able to make more of the chances they create. Look forward to seeing the recording later. Onward to the cup now.

The closer I get to the ground the more confident I'm getting. Despite the negativity by some I think 3-1 Well. Feel we need to go 2 upfront.

Players on the u20s highlights appeared to be calling him Petey. If it good enough for them, guess we should just go with that. I'm sure the well bois will find that much easier to fit in a song.
