That's because the POD has been my viewpoint of choice for the last 40 years, but if the other 3 stands are just as bad then the club has a seriously issue with whoever does its cleaning.

An excellent post, hopefully in the room for improvement category we can get the pigeon crap cleaned from the stairs and seats in the POD.

You can obviously recognise a players abilities within minutes and judge them accordingly a great skill to have, lots of club managers would love to have the same. I'm more of a wait a few games, see how the player settles into the team, and what if anything they contribute before judging them.

I watched it from the POD and never got any impression of a nudge, neither did the referee, lino's or the VAR team who no doubt had close up views, freeze frame etc. The Kille fans in the south stand had the best view, so maybe you were sitting with them. Nobody is making anything up, the only Motherwell player who seemed bothered was ward when he realised he'd made an arse of it so no fantasy.

Hendry has played less than 30 mins since he arrived at the club, and you are not impressed, aye OK then 🤦‍♂️

Longelo for me, he was excellent and another great goal as a bonus. Special mention for O'Donnell I thought he had a great game as well.

The Sportscene highlights were pretty clear no contact whatsoever, for me he jumped to early and ended up slightly ahead of the ball, but that said it was a simple catch and he made an arse of it.

I doubt very much JBA is telling Ward to make a James Hunt of it by failing to catch a ball under no pressure at all. The way Ward is playing is very badly, and cost us 4 points in a week, he needs dropped.

Shocking goal keeping cost us 2 points last week, and the same again today, all our great play counts for nothing if we cant rely on a keeper to catch a feckin Ball under no pressure at all. Once we went 2-1 Killie never looked like scoring until Motherwells version of Andre Onana played his part, he needs dropped ASAP. We played some great stuff today, especially Longelo and just and never got the reward it deserved, 4 points behind where we should be after 4 games, sort the keeper and defence out and hopefully we can start winning.

That's not the case though is it, if the coefficient goes up it means that the ugly sisters and the other potential Euro regulars ie Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs are all doing better in European games and as a result earning more cash making them richer. Which as a consequence widens the financial gap between them and the rest of the league allowing them to attract better players etc, so where's the positive in that from a Motherwell perspective?

Let's just ensure we pump them tomorrow that will be the best and simplest GIUY to SK and Killie.

Is that a personal assumption or is there any further info we could start a rumour with?🤔

Great post I totally agree, the 3 competitions are set up for one purpose only to make the rich powerful clubs and UEFA even richer its a corrupt shambles. Don't make the CL groups don't worry you can have a go in the EL oh and if you fail there you get a 3rd go in the conference its nonsense. I've enjoyed many European adventures with Motherwell and I hope to have a few more but that will be nigh on impossible if clubs like Hibs. Hearts, Aberdeen, Dundee untd etc are successful, making the group stages etc and earning wads of cash to make them even stronger. As for the ugly sisters I look forward to them being pumped out of Europe at the earliest opportunity, I support Motherwell and have never understood the "support the Scottish teams" argument at all.

That's it in one word, back in the UK, with no doubt a large increase in his weekly wage, aye a tough decision.

Justin Amaluzor, remember him, hes on the bench for Grimsby tonight against Man Untd in the Carabao cup.

Max Johnson is on his way to Derby according to Sky sports for £3.5 million allegedly. https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11095/13163353/efl-transfer-news-rumours-and-gossip-for-championship-league-one-and-league-two?postid=10074891#liveblog-body

According to today's BBC gossip Rangers want Rice to sign a new contract before they allow him to go out on Loan Rangers want midfielder Bailey Rice, 18, to sign a new deal before sending him out on loan. (Herald - subscription required)

A pessimistic attitude, without going full blown MJC is the best solution for following Motherwell, it means you never get disappointed 😃

I think we have one already when McGhee is match fit, given he can allegedly play at centre half, time will tell.

Your right Dave dropping a keeper after 1 bad game wont help their confidence so Ward will start. That said however the Killie game for me is a must win, not in the avoiding relegation sense, but in building team confidence in finally getting the win their great play in recent games deserves. So I hope JBA and the players have learned from the Hearts game and realise that any errors are not acceptable.

I agree, Oxborough should be our 1st choice keeper, Ward gives me the fear.

Just watched the Sportscene highlights Hesrts 2nd goal was onside but it was by millimetres only according to the VAR lines, our defenders right foot playing him on.. We failed to mange the last 30 mins and see out the game, bad defenfing for Hearts 1st goal and shocking goal keeping from Ward for goals 2 and 3.

From 3-0 up dominating play, Hearts being battered and we fecked it up big time, another 2 points thrown away. I don't think we can blame our forwards for this one, a shambles of a defence again that cant close a game out, still we never lost but we cant afford to be throwing points away like that.

I hear the faint sound of bottles crashing on Gorgie Rd.
