I think their main criteria for recruiting players is " have you played for Motherwell at some point in your career"

I am all in favour of VAR for correcting decisions like that but given the standard of refereeing we have in Scotland I have concerns that they will not be, especially in decisions against the uglies, the 2nd half of next season will be an interesting watch.

Nah just stating the facts, I know you have trouble with them at times we have been brutal but not as brutal as half of the league below us.

Don't talk shite, our players and the managers tactics etc are obviously better than the six teams who were below us at the split so you are correct the league table never lies. So even if we don't win another game this season the record books will show we finished the 6th best team in Scotland this year.

Reading some of the posts on this forum you get the impression that some people think we should not be in the top 6 or we have made it there illegally. Yes we have been utter garbage since Christmas but so were the other 8 teams outwith the top 3, we made it by picking up vital points at Ibrox, St Mirren, Livingston etc while the others around us failed so we are there on merit. Apart from the ugly sisters and Hearts the standard in the premiership is brutal but the league positions don't lie and after 33 games we were better than the 6 teams below us. I really don't know what some people expect from Motherwell, every season 10 teams start the league with targets of avoiding relegation, top 6 finish and a decent cup run, and a shot at Europe, so for me we have achieved 3 of those targets and still very much in the frame for the 4th. So if we do make Europe then for me it's been a good season.

Can't wait for Saturday then we will have something sensible to discuss 1. How shite we were and how we never turn up against them , Burrows is responsible etc 2. Wow never saw that victory coming Europe and 4th place here we come. Topic 1 is Currently odds on Favourite

You forgot Gary McAllister as Gerrards no 2 at Ibrox and Aston Villa

They voted to bring forward the winter break by 2 or 3 weeks, that extra 1 game maybe would really have stopped our form dipping, oh and a rearranged game always means some people lose out so now the fans who could not go on the Sunday can go, so hardly questionable decisions by the board, get a grip ffs.

And that's the clubs fault how ?

I've watched Motherwell home and away in the champions league, Europa league, UEFA Cup, Cup winners Cup and loved every minute of it, would I swap that for watching us play shite like Queens Park, or Annan no chance, some of the best memories I've had as a Motherwell fan have been on those away trips. So it's European football every time for me, plus we've not played in the Europa conference league before so we need to complete the set. Clubs like St Mirren, Dundee, Ross county etc would love our European record so long may it continue.

So you paid for a full set of home games and think the club should then refund you if you then can't go to a specific game for whatever reason, aye OK then, a great business model for the club, you really do talk shite.

It going to be the same system that's currently being used in the English premiership that will be implemented, minimum of 6 cameras at each ground allegedly.

Why would he need to tweet before the game was moved back to the Saturday ffs, as I don't think the club was bothered what day it was played. the police and Sky TV are calling the shots.

100% this, the uglies should be ignored at all times, nobody gives a feck about any of the shite they spout, coyw.

According to BBC sport Rangers have asked the SPFL to have the game moved back a day to Saturday 23/4 SPFL look at Rangers request to move Motherwell tie before Europa semi with RB Leipzig - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61128075

In all honesty it's the ugly sisters regular involvement in Europe and going deep into tournaments that has raised Scotlands coefficient to the point we are at now, where potentially 5 teams in a 12 team league get European qualification. So for me if the Blue uglies winning the Europa league means all of the top 6 get into Europe then I have no issues with that , nobody except the other ugly pays any attention to the shite either of them spout anyway.

Is that not what good coaches should be doing though ? the players should all be fit and able to run about all day if required, that's a basic so getting them to play a certain formation, track back, cover when the opponents have the ball etc is more important in my opinion. Yes you need to keep up you fitness but that should not be all the training, no point in being super fit if you have no idea what you should be doing on the Park

45 mins that long ! It's usually before the player has kicked a ball that they are written off

I can't see GA trying to re-sign a player we had previously brought in, gave him a chance discovered he was utter pish and not up to standard and was subsequently punted, St Mirren are welcome to him.

Can you imagine the media uproar and days of endless scrutiny over every VAR decision that goes against the uglies, especially if its a controversial one, it will be entertaining.

I think It's measured from the furthest forward part of the body that can legally score a goal, head/shoulders, chest, legs etc.

Not surprised he is having 2nd thoughts about the move, the manager he signed for is gone and been replaced by mcghee who will be gone as soon as Dundee are relegated, no doubt the wage he was promised will be readjusted for championship levels, so if there is a chance to remain playing in the premiership he should take it, I would offer him a new deal at Fir park.

Except for the ugly sisters no chance either of them getting 1 less home game, especially the blue uglies.

Once the SPFL have pandered to and sorted out the ugly sisters then the other 4 teams will get what's left. It should be an even split but don't hold your breath.

It's the points gained from those " without a win" games that ensured we stayed in 4th place for so long despite being brutal and ensured a top 6 finish, Tierney's goal at St Mirren, woolery at Ibrox . The league table does not lie after 33 games the best 6 teams in the country are there on merit and we are one of them.
