I don't believe for a minute that that every squad of players we've had over the last 20 years, every manager, club officials etc have had the attitude that " aw well its Rangers we never beat them so we're not bothered" We have beaten Rangers in the league cup 2017 and both playoff games in 2015, which incidentally were technically under the auspices of the SPFL not in a cup competition so as such league games. So I don't subscribe to this " mental block" nonsense when playing the blue uglies, sometimes you just need to put your hands up and say you gave it your best shot but lost to a better team. If it was a mentality issue then it would be constant defeats, but thats not the case given the number of draws we've had home and away over the years. Also the pish about other teams managing to beat them when we don't does my head in, if the record of the other 9 teams in the league against Rangers over the 20 years was compared to ours they would be equally as bad, it a sad fact of Scottish football that the uglies don't lose many games on a regular basis to any team apart from each other, so Motherwell are not unique.

Mostly agree with that it is a free hit but the fans do care, its been over 20 years so it's a monkey we need off our backs. The gulf in class between the ugly sisters and the other 10 premiership teams is vast as last nights results show. We will need a lot of luck, all our players up for the game with the right attitude from the start etc, as well as Rangers having an off day to get a result, we've had lots of draws over the years so here's hoping we can take that extra step. Three points from this one would be a massive result in the context of this season and keeping us up, but it would be a great confidence booster to the whole club,team and fans, nothing more enjoyable than a big GIRUY to either of those two

Would love to say yes, but I really can't see it happening. They are nothing special just now but they are getting all the luck, dodgy penalties, keepers wiping out players and no action taken etc. However if we can stay organised in defence, take our chances when they come and not give them cheap goals we have a chance of getting a result, SK will be a legend at Fir Park if he can get us 3 points and end the over 20 year wait for a league win, heart says a great result, head says another 1 goal defeat.

What's your point caller?

The K Park is only developed on the one side the other 3 are just chain link fences so plenty of free observation points available for the financially challenged 😀 I think spectators are allowed though, but I can't confirm if an entry fee is charged.

My thoughts as well Kilmarnock are brutal, especially away from that shitey pitch of theirs, the 4 points we've dropped to them this season annoys me, especially the Fir park game.

"Pot belly Slattery" seriously mate that's feckin garbage patter, have a word with yourself 🤦‍♂️

Thats the best thing for a forum thread

65% win or draw, that's a fairy decent record to be fair, let's hope we continue to improve it on Saturday, a win would be massive, but I'd be OK with a point.

🤦‍♂️ seriously are you and EL Grew in some sort of pessimistic, never positive, doom and gloom online Trolling society, you have to be with posts like that using phrases like "vile institution" and " great wee community club", its trying too hard mate, or is it son?

I guess you don't like him then, even by this forum's standards of slaughtering and writing guys off before they've kicked a ball or started work that's a feckin ridiculous post 🤦‍♂️

They have appointed Goodwin as their new manager, don't know if that will help put the bin fire out, or Stoke the flames, his first game is Against Aberdeen that should be an interesting watch. Jim Goodwin: Dundee United appoint ex-Aberdeen and St Mirren manager - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64808847

I would like to say that was magnificent but unfortunately it was Bad.

I don't care about the performance or who scores, this is one of those games where the result and 3 points is all that matters, and hopefully it's in Motherwell's favour.

I see the daily rancid are reporting that Dundee Untd allegedly want to bring in Craig Levein immediately to save their season, desperation in the extreme with that move. I'm Glad we took a bit of time and made the right choice for the club with SK.

So far this season as brutal as we have been we have 27 points which is 33.3% of the total available, if we continue at the same rate we are on course for a 38 point total, which should see us safe as no team has ever been relegated or landed in the playoffs with more than 37 pts. So a modest improvement over the last 11 games will see us up that percentage and end up with a 40 + points total.

That's Fox been punted by Dundee untd (by mutual consent), so they might be due their new manager bounce, so we really should be looking to win this one.

Saved us?? from the match reports it seems the killie keeper played a blinder to stop us scoring on several occasions, so it sounds like a well deserved point to me, and for me any game where we don't lose is never dismal.

Shields was good at championship level, thats why we signed him, but turned out to be not up to premiership standard.

The next time we lose the usual suspects will be all over this thread with the "I told you it was a bad appointment " patter

Is the bubble inflated again or is it still burst?

Hammell would never have got over the Hump, he was like a rabbit in the headlights no idea what to do, he could have asked for help at any time, Kettlewell was at the club ffs, so it could have been arranged no problem. I get the impression that Hammell and Kerr, knew they were out of their depth very early on and kept hoping the team would bale them out but it never happened. For me there must have been other issues, ie coaching methods, personalities, etc as the teams performances fell off a cliff very quickly.

WTF is that all about, I hope nobody will be singing kettle well songs to that tune. ( need to go, Taxi is outside 😁)

STV said its till May 24, so next season as well.

Quite right too it was feckin assault a tackle like that outwith a football match would get you jailed, all the nonsense about no intent, didn't mean it, not red ffs he could have blinded the other player his studs were that high.
