Ok so its official then Efford is pish, we could always put in a bid for the Raith Rapist, he had a decent scoring record at lower league Clyde and will probably be a free agent soon , would he do

For me thats a decent shout, by all accounts he has potential as an attacking midfielder just in behind the front 3 or 2 if GA ever has a breakdown and plays 442.

Aye come out and slaughter your players in public telling them they were shite etc has always been a good man management tactic, that will get the best out of them.

Let's be honest proven goal Scorers at a decent level are not going to be available in a mid season transfer window, especially on the money Motherwell has to spend. Our markets are the lower / non league teams to try to find a player with potential and hope they step up and score a few, like Moult, Higdon, McDonald, and latterly Watt who all seemed to find Fir Park a great place to be. But for every success there are more failures who don't make it but that's how we operate, so give each player their chance then judge them on how good or Bad they were.

Tony Watt only scored 11 in his last 87 appearances over 6 different clubs since 2016 before he joined us and that worked out ok

Why, as I said earlier if he's on the bench he should be fit to play, and given the news today that he's off on loan to QOS I assume that he is fit to play so not so much of a leap more of a tiny hop.

The subs might be needed in the 1st few mins of the game so for me they must all be fit and able to play the full 90 mins otherwise there is no point in having them in the squad.

Was he was not on the bench for the Morton game? If so he must be fit enough to play.

Now that Boyle is away Hibs won't have the Australian goal threat playing so that's a bonus for us.

Correct, mcguire looked panic stricken every time he had the ball, as for Donnelly he was the invisible man for 120 mins and 45 seconds, Goss was the only one who looked capable,I can't understand why Slattery or Tierney never started alongside him.

He set up Higginbottom for Keltys winner and had a shot himself back off the crossbar he looked good.

Aberdeen are bang average, they are so far having a worse season than us, nobody said it would be easy but we have nothing to fear from them, we've already beaten them in the league recently so we are more than capable of repeating it in the cup.

We are at home to Aberdeen in last 16, ist out of the Hat

Connor Sammon scores for Alloa against Celtic

Only 3 ex well players involved in cup action tonight for Stirling Albion, Jack Leitch, Dylan Mackin and Adam Cummings.

And now James Scott is on for the extra time, that's 5 ex players.

3 ex Motherwell players on the park for the Hibs v Cove Cup game tonight, Murphy, Cadden and Reynolds.

All this debate over what position the arm was in, hand to ball, ball to hand etc is irrelevant nobody ever debates what position the players arms were in if its a handball outside the 18 yd box, it's simply a free kick. Mugabi's arm stopped the ball from being crossed in so it's a stonewall penalty every day of the week.

Totally agree but will GA take action and make changes, I have never been convinced by McGinley , not seen any highlights but by all accounts he was poor again tonight, GA has been loyal to him but for me it's time to get Carroll back in.

Same here Dave, he is not a happy man is he, big chance to open a bigger gap on Untd and Aberdeen thrown away tonight.

Lots of talent but his heads wasted as you say his time as a premiership player is over, plus we don't need any of the baggage that comes with his alleged social media activites, upsetting the dressing room, hope we stay well clear

Thanks, never saw the interview

That's the Watt deal done according to the BBC a fee has been agreed and he's off as of today Tony Watt: Dundee United move close as Motherwell agree fee - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60025140

And he has just limped off Injured.

He might get more game time If TW goes in this window.
