Almost as if Dunne, Hartley and Tanner are injured.

Still not sure how nobody at Motherwell football club expected Jamie Murphy to cut in from the left and shoot.

I'd agree with this. McGhee clearly lost the plot at some point in the 16/17 season and we're far better off with Robinson. However the way we were set up under McGhee definitely suited some players, with Cadden the obvious one. He's a weird player, but I still think his best position is somewhere between a central midfielder and an out an out winger, in that lopsided 4-3-3 McGhee played. I'm not sure if Cadden has actually regressed over the last year or just reverted back to the mean but it'll be interesting to see where him and Campbell are in five years.

Everything you've said applies equally to Partick Thistle, St Johnstone and Ross County but none of us expect to roll up and beat them all 4 times a season. Accies aren't some junior mob that won a raffle, they've spent the majority of the last decade in the top flight because, believe it or not, they're a Premiership club with Premiership players. I'm not excusing yesterday's performance, just saying it's an away loss to another bottom half side, not some sort of Albion Rovers or Stjarnan-esque debacle.

Some people on here really have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to Accies. We're an average Scottish Premiership side that lose as much as we win yet people are convinced we have a divine right to beat Hamilton every time we play them.

Surely our worst performance of the season?

I honestly couldn't care less about our crowds. We've got a core support of about 3,000 who can be relied upon, which I imagine includes virtually everyone on this website. Not really bothered if other people want to pick and choose their games.

Genuinely think we'll beat Rangers in the final.

The Old Firm semi thing is a myth. This year's league cup was the first time in (I think) 6 years they've been kept apart. They've been drawn together four times across the same period.

2011.

Really don't get the Murphy stuff. He left us so long ago that he doesn't even register as a former Motherwell player to me, just a Rangers fan kissing the Rangers badge after scoring against Hearts. I'll probably still boo him at Fir Park. Just because I like booing.

Andy Capp is just a front for anarcho-capitalism.

Playing devil's advocate but it seems unfair to ignore the Aberdeen and Rangers league cup games if you're not counting the Hearts and Killie wins either. Anyway, I agree we aren't up to Top Six yet. There's four teams in this league that are clearly better than us and another two that have been marginally more consistent.

Has anyone ever found highlights of that Dundee United QF? It's annoying how hit and miss it is to find footage of anything pre-2012 ish.

When was the last time we directly relegated someone? Not counting Inverness last season when Alex Fisher tore us apart.

I was talking about the Scottish Cup campaign we're currently involved in. Obviously taking it to extremes but I'm much more invested in a cup run than trying to finish top six/seven.

Relegation and a cup win would do me tbh.

I'm already trying to envisage scenarios here he comes back in summer.

Good idea. They could amalgamate.

Not sure who I'd support if we went under. Probably Rangers or Celtic.

Ah that's explains it. Fwiw I'm very envious of your stats spreadsheet. I've attempted to do the same thing several times and gave up by mid-August every time.

Really didn't have you down as a Charles Dunne fan.

I like his shirt

Who do we want in the semi then? Beating Rangers at Hampden was very very enjoyable last time and something I'd like to do again, though another pop at Celtic is pretty tempting. I've gotten so used to beating Aberdeen already this season it doesn't even feel like a big deal anymore so I'd rather avoid them.
