Dont worry Nobody ever does

This..payback is a bitch, Aberdeen have been our bitches up there for nearly 5 years now.

Instead of a slim fit spandex option..aye right why cant we have a sponsor free option. The shirts would look so much better without the cash converters on it. We had it a couple of seasons back so why not every tine

Sutton for me, as slow as a week in the jail but he knows how to score, 22 league goals is a great return

Tend to agree with that, and in addition he has not had a great season on the pitch, one or 2 games playing like we know he can but overall he has been at best average in most games. Will that sort of form bring in better offers from other clubs, i don't think it will. So i fully expect him to be at Fir park next season as well.

Just say what you mean...." the ref was an arsehole, that night and i have serious concerns over his abilities to run the game smoothly on Sunday"

Even if the sheep win on Tues as long as we do the same against ICT on wed then the last game wont be meaningless..a win for us and its 2nd place

FFS You never give up with the negative shite do you..

Personally i would like to see us make the group stages of the EL..that would be progress. But i would settle for being in the EL draw.

Was not at the game...thankfully, but voted for Ainsworth because he scored

Now that we are at the business end of the season what would we as well fans consider to be a sucessful season. More points than last year, another European adventure, 2nd place and best of the rest or a combination or indeed all 3 ? Given what we have achieved in recent seasons, consistent European involvement, 2nd place finishes, champions league☺, cup finals etc have our expectations as a club changed ? I personally feel that given the size of the club, resources etc we have done fantastically well and i will be dissapointed if we dont finish 2nd but is it unrealistic to think that a club of our means should not be there. Thoughts and comments please

The simple truth re the well society that was evident right from tbe start is that Motherwell as a club do not have a big enough fan base to make generating the £1.5 million a viable prospect. And even though the club has been doing well in recents years we are not a big enough advertising prospect to attract significant commercial investment. The WS membership as it stands is probably as good as it will get, there may be a few more each season as induvidual financial circumstances change but i dont think we will hit the target. In the Herald article Leanne Dempster stated that the WS was currently about £1m short, thats another 40 commitments to the top £25k package or just over 3000 on the basic £350 deal with our average fan base its not going to happen.

If we sit back and play for a point we will get pumped..get right into them from the start,same as the Celtic game and we will get a result and secure at least 3rd and Europe (Celtic will beat ICT) yet again.

I agree with that, the earlier we start in Europe the better. Given our consistent qualification over recent seasons our current coefficient would probably see us seeded in Q1 and Q2. So more chance of winnable ties to increase the coefficient which is good. Last season if i remember we were only 2 or 3 points off being seeded for Q3 so winning through a couple of rounds would help us big time.

I think our support was only down slightly as for any old firm game live on TV or not its only ST holders that tend to go,the casual punters tend not to bother. The main reason for the low attendance was the thousands of Celtic fans who did not bother to go, which i can understand, league won, nothing at stake, game live on Sky etc.

Nice sunny holiday weekend, game live on TV, stupid kick off time, Celtic already champions, these 4 reasons alone cut the attendance significantly. The poor away support was to be expected but our own support was well down on previous Celtic games, it seemed like only the hardcore ST holders were there.

Agree with that..they were there for the taking today ..it felt like 2 points dropped but any result to get it right up that mob is good.. A feckin awesome performance from all the team today

Leitch for me...put in a great shift today

straight red card for that...shocking

The 2 homes games against ICT and StJ are must win and i think we will take 6 points there, anything from Celtic is a bonus. The untd and Aberdeen games are hard to call, if the sheep get to the cup final then we have a good chance to get right into them the week before as they might have one eye on the final. So i think we may get at least 8 points maybe 9.

Just watched the higlights online...feckin ridiculous decision for the pen not even close and how Brines can award it from where he was is beyond belief..that arse should never get to referee any game ever again. As for the 3rd...Gunnar beaten at his near post..thats poor stuff

Totally agree with that..still 15 points to play for and we are well placed. The thing that annoys me most is that we have lost 9 ponts from winning positions 7 against dross like Killie, Hibs and St Mirren, even the 2 agaist the Sheep should never have got away. So we should be home and dry by now Europe confirmed and a couple of points away from securing 2nd. But its the motherwell way, as it stands 4 points will see us improve on last season which given the changes is a fantastic effort by the team. We will be in Europe as i expect a Aberdeen v untd cup final..but can we finish 2nd yes we can..

Thats feckin disgraceful 2.0 up and losing feckin shocking..arseholes

BT have just announced that our "2nd place title decider" at Aberdeen on 11th may will be live on BT sport with a 12:15 KO . A shit kick off time for anybody travelling up there
