In all honesty Sligo have been pish, one moment of brilliance with the free kick and that's all, but they know we are not capable if hurting them its all too easy, feckin brutal from Motherwell.

Sitting in a bar in Sligo alongside hundreds of well fans and watching an utter feckin shambles. I was up for giving GA the benefit of the doubt but after that 1st half display he has to go. We are totally devoid of any attacking threat even if Sligo had not scored we would never feckin score its a feckin ridiculous performance to be thoroughly outplayed over a game and a half now by a team Currently 5th in the Irish league ffs, just let that sink in. We can't start the season with GA in charge he needs to go tomorrow or we are going down this year. It takes a lot to upset me but enough is enough fantastic trip over here the well fans are brilliant but let down by the team and a manager feckin devoid of any ideas. We are going out tonight but the vlub needs to take action now to save the season before it starts.

We've had 5 wins in 7 months, St Mirren, Ross county, Hearts, the Austrian 3rd division mob and Partick Thistle

For me, the ugly sisters top 2, Hearts 3rd, St Mirren, Livi, Kilmarnock and StJ bottom 4 and the rest fighting for the other 3 top six places with Hibs and StJ failing. So, Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Dundee untd. Hibs, Ross County, Killie, StJ, Livi, St Mirren But as I say I don't think there will be much between positions 4 to 8

Eternal optimism is an essential quality you need to be a Motherwell Fan I went last Thursday hoping we could get the tie done at Fir Park and could not really see us losing, but like you I am confident we will get the job done. That said I will be hoping we get an early goal to steady the nerves and go on to a good win.

I see Robinson is in the news this morning complaining that the league cup group format and the early start to the season is unfair on the premiership teams ffs, no mention of his team being pish though. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stephen-robinson-slams-premier-sports-27572406

We gave a contract to Gallacher who did jail time for battering somebody with a baseball bat,and nobody gave a feck, Griffiths wasn't convicted of anything, so is GBH OK with the fans but what Griffiths allegedly done not? Everybody deserves a second chance, and we need a goal scorer.

All of Griffiths ongoing mental health issues have been well documented and he has been a bit of a waster in recent seasons but for me I would give him a chance as well, he certainly knows where the goals are. As you say a short term deal till January to see how it works out. We took a punt on Watt who had a terrible scoring record so why not do the same with Griffiths, 189 goals for club and country so far

Sorry but a crucial must win European tie is no place to be trying out an academy player with very limited 1st team experience, so I hope he is nowhere near the team.

Alexander is, who is Armstrong

It was not humour to laugh at, banter or anything like that it was sectarian shite that has no place at Fir Park, or anywhere else for that matter. The club should have called them out for it. And its a sure thing that UEFA will fine the club for whatever dickhead threw the water bottle at the linesman, again the club should have called that out as well, I hope the culprit is identified and banned from Fir Park.

Well said Dave it was a shambles the alleged stewards are,a waste of space they do nothing and are not interested in helping anybody, "speak to the club" was the frequent response I heard them dishing out. For games like that the stewarding has to be robust but I don't know if these guys actually receive any training on how to handle crowds like that, I suspect not for me they just pull on the high viz jacket stand about for a couple of hrs doing feck all and then pocket their wages, the club needs to sort it out.

Just back in it was 95 mins of shite from both teams, and Sligo took the chance when Mugabi fucked up, that's all they done, Kelly had 2 saves to make all night and both of them were comfortable. So i would not go as far as saying we were the better team but we created the most chances and fucked all of them up, so if you dont score you suffer as we did tonight. A very bad embarrassing result but it's half time and we are 1-0 down so plenty of time to redeem the situation .

Let's hope the Internet stays that way you might need it to watch the game online if you get chucked out for being in the wrong end

He should be used to that, the same thing happened at Fir Park without making any comments

My cash would be on Robinson for the 1st manager to be sacked this season, that's them out of the League cup already and still a group game to go, not a good start .

By November we could be sitting 3rd in the league, looking forward to fixture congestion with league Cup semis and Europa conference league group stage matches , playing well and there would still be people moaning on here, you all know who you are. I really would love to know what some people expect from a team like Motherwell over a season ,winning the league is never going to happen, so is it constant top 6 finishes, deep cup runs, euro qualification or be greedy and expect all 3. As a club just beginning our 35th season I think in the top division, reasonably frequent Top 6 and Euro qualification, runners up in the league twice with champions league entry for a club our size I think we do very well compared to other clubs of a similar size and even better than some so called bigger clubs at times, and all achieved with various managers, so let's try and talk up our achievements over the years instead of constantly whinging and slating the club.

There's a simple reason our squad of players are playing at a higher level in the Scottish Premiership and not in the LOI , they are better players, every senior player we have would walk into any Irish team , so as Kmcalpin says we are far stronger than them and should win . But as we know especially following Motherwell teams can have bad games etc so we need to be professional and get right in about them from the 1st whistle and dominate the game, if we do that we will win comfortably and hopefully get the tie settled at Fir park,

Good post but we also need to be winning games and going a bit deeper into European competitions as do all the Scottish clubs to improve our coefficient etc, so that we don't need to start at Q2 in July against the Diddy teams. Making the group stages would be massive for Motherwell but the way UEFA are operating its getting harder each year for smaller clubs to get there. Pandering to the big clubs greed for more money needs to stop, take The blue uglies as an example lose in champions league Q3 or get through and lose in the playoff round and you drop into the Europa league group stages its feckin nonsense, if your out you should be out of all tournaments.

Likewise for me, if I remember correctly Dortmund went all the way to the semi final that year and we had the best result of all the teams that played in the wesfalen stadium that year in the UEFA cup. IF rab Shannon ever plays again he still has a uefa ban to serve for getting sent off at Fir park

Viking play in Stavanger, direct glights from Edinburgh

Feck knows why they need confirmed,UEFA have set the dates and I can't think of any reason for us to request a change in dates.

I don't think there will be a ticket ballot for either of those two, think we will get as many as we need.

We are off to face Sparta Prague if we beat Sligo, away leg 4/8 (assuming Sparta win of course)
