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

And your point is ?

Never made the game today..dissapointing to lose to a poor side like Kille chance to go 2nd missed..but we are still in a good position. The next 2 games are massive so we need to respond well...6 points and we can go into the split in a strong position to challenge for 2nd place. There are 21 points to play for we need 7 to improve on last seasons total..we are in good shape.

thanks..forgot that.

Not this season though, England gets 4 CL and 3 EL places, 2 of which go to the FA cup and Carling cup winners. Arsenal are the only potential CL qualifiers left in the cup,so even if they win it unlike Scotland the runners up dont get the EL place it goes to 5th in the league. So Man Untd will need to finish at least 5th to play in Europe.

Aye it takes a serious investment of cash to build the time machine that seems to have taken them all back to the early 80's and the "new Firm", expect a European trophy soon.

Dont care about the score as long as we have 1 more goal than Killie..the only danger they have is Boyd so he will need watching. A win for the good guys and another 3 points.

By bigger i was referring to history, honours won, time spent in top divisions, fan base and average attendences over the years, European participation..etc etc. And i think on all of these we can be classed as a bigger club. But you are right the more sucess we have the fans expectations change so finishing above ICT and STJ etc is expected every season.

Good post, i agree we are a bigger club than STJ, ICT and the like. A top six finish and challenging for a European place is expected of us now so the media dont pay any attention. The media are desperate for a replacement team to talk shite about till Sevco get back to the SPfl, hence the wankfest we have just now over Aberdeen and Untd.

Agreed the SFA are shit scared of upsetting either of those two..but UEFA rules are clear re new clubs and to them Rangers are a diddy club so it wont happen. It would be nice to see UEFA slapping them down though

County were pish..Neilsen never had a save to make. Dissapointing to concede late on but a good 3 points, impressed by Reid today he put a great shift in but yet again another half arsed done feck all game from Ainsworth he did not look interested

Doh..My fault...i thought the sheeps game in hand was against STJ You are right we want them into the final with Untd

Neilsen for me, he was never worked too hard but everything stuck to him, and good saves when required a good solid perfomance.

I hope not , St J are 16 behind us so they wont catch us, but we are in with a good chance of finnishing 2nd again. A win against Aberdeen will cancel the game in hand the Sheep have on us and undo the damage of us losing 2 points against Hibs. 2 successive seasons as "the best of the rest" would be a massive achievement for Motherwell, especially after losing the players we did, so i want a ST J win or at least a draw.

The ideal scenario for Motherwell is an Aberdeen / Untd final as that would ensure that 4th place gets Europe, (assuming that both of them finish in the top 4). The cup runners up only get Europe if the winners have already qualified for a higher tournament i.e. the champions league, so as Celtic are out that wont happen, so St J will need to win it to get Europe, unless they finish 2nd or 3rd in the league. As for Sevco, thay are barred from Europe for 3 years so they wont qualify even if they win it ( which if there is a god he will ensure that it wont happen ).

A good result tonight, ICT had a lot of possesion but no cutting edge, i thought Nielsen was good tonight 1 or 2 balls he should have come for but all in a solid performance. Strange decision by SMC to take Faddy off he was our best player by a distance tonight and leave Ainsworth on !!! As he had contributed feck all after he scored. But 2 goals, a clean sheet and joint 2nd in the league a good nights work by the team.

I was not at the game but just watched highlights and in all honesty i cant see why people are blaming Hollis for any of the goals. Hibs 1st central defence not clearing the ball and not stopping the header, the 2nd goal again Hibs player gets a free header, as for the 3rd Heffernan runs wide and nobody goes with him Murray i think is ball watching and lets him go. But i have to agree we are feckin shit at defending set pieces

Any game we dont lose is a good result..100% record against the bottom 6 gone..but we are still on course for 2nd or 3rd place so a good day.
