The behaviour of their scum supporters is easily rectified. Two strikes and its a 6 point deduction. However the SPFL is run to suit two clubs so the the tough effective decisions will never be made.

and the ground wrecked just like they do on every visit to Fir Park. I heard Celtic refused to pay for the damage the last time and Motherwell are having to refer it to the SPFL board.

Expectation always weighs heavy on us . Has done for my 45 years watching us. Very Frustrating cos Dundee were nearly as bad as us. Was Sparrow injured? .. Davor and Halliday in midfield just doesnt do it for me. Anyone know why Stama ran off the pitch and straight up the tunnel?

Apparently over 6200 sold. I don't suspect we will need our option for 14,500.

I think these broadcasts are excellent and give a good insight into how decisions arrived at. It will never be perfect but at least they are trying to explain it , errors and all. I'm still amazed the St Mirren player didn't get sent off for booting the Kilmarnock defender twice. That was a real shocker but at least they held their hands up they got it wrong but doesnt help Kilmarnock.

Really good small goalkeepers are the exception rather than the norm. Andy Goram being the exception. I always thought Kelly was too wee and didn't command his 6 yard box which OX does and the difference is so noticeable. Kelly wasn't all bad but for me I like a big towering keeper.

Its not as easy as that. He has already signed an extension to be fair the club, he could have legged it before signing the last extension. I don't see him doing it again. I think both him and the club will cash in in the next 12 moths and considering he could have pissed off for nothing a year back I think we cant complain if both parties do.

This is a real barometer game for me. Historically rising expectations is difficult for us to handle and often we fail. Most Motherwell fans will go into this game expecting us to win. If we can I'll maybe be convinced the current good form isnt just a flash in the pan blip this season.

A dominant goalkeeper makes a huge difference

Its Dundee at home - they've won one league game since the clocks went forward in March, we've gotta be looking at 3 points in that one , Utd must be a chance of a point, Celtic will just be a loss, those bastards are just too hard to beat.

Perfect summary of the game, player performances and the way it all panned out.

Great result. SK called it right in the 2nd half. Davor sadly cannot dominate in the middle and having already being booked it was sensible to take him off because her is clumsy in the tackles. Sparrow offered us more dig and pace in the midfield. Our quality while in possession was truly horrific in the first half , improved in the second but still the amount of unforced errors was truly awful. Had we lost today it would have been all down to us, Hibs are bang average and had it not been for our truly woeful play in possession Hibs would have been there for the taking from the 1st minute. No doubt the SOD haters will want him crucified and his error was absolutely horrific but his error apart he wasn't too bad. Tony Watt gave us some much needed guile and Moses really rumbled them up. OX was terrific. What a goal from our Australian friend. A good £42 win on Skybet for our win too.

Happily chop that thing in two LOL

Thats what Id do if we had to redevelop Fir Park cut the top tier off that monstrosity that is the Tommy McLean stand. I'd also try and reduce the size the roofing frontage on the Cooper and any subsequent new stands, its far too big. However all really pie in the sky.

I'm not so sure, the club may have thought "he's making a right tit of himself" knock yourself out. Nowhere in that statement do I think the club look bad he just looks like a spoilt entitled arse.

I thought his statement was dripping with entitlement. I have just retired after working for 46 years. I have had, on two occasions, to reapply for my own job as the structures of the business changed. I hated the process but knew I was good at the jobs I was doing and in both cases secured the appointments. I also didn't have the financial luxury of going in a huff and walking away. Life's tough especially when your parents weren't millionaires you just need to get on with life and make your way.

Pretty much as I saw it and despite all the Davor hero worshippers I still think he and Halliday dont command the middle of the park as much as I'd like. It was therefore no surprise St Mirren had 63% of the possession. St Mirren can consider themselves hard done by however I'm fed up watching us turn them over in terms of play only to lose so yesterday was our turn.

correct, we were fortunate but frankly we were due a turn of luck against St Mirren , they have mugged us a few times over the last two seasons.

a team can if they make more effective use of their possession than the opposition . Second half I thought we were poor but St Mirren have mugged us often enough in the past that it was our turn. The real difference this year is a solid defence and a keeper who commands his box. Possession means fuck all if you do nothing with it and St Mirren just relied on the high ball all day from the possession they had, they wasted theirs we didn't.

Sean Rooney suspended by St Mirren following an incident in town. Cant say I'm unhappy he is not playing always puts in a shift.

SK is a creature of habit. I suspect he will start with the team that started against DU with exception of SOD

I never understand all the bitterness around tickets. Each team gets 50% split. They are given a deadline date in which to sell them. Any one side that doesnt sell theirs the balance is given to the other side. No risk to us because any we didnt sell would be snapped up by Rangers. Would be different if we were facing a team that doesnt have demand above allocation

I have some vague recollection if we'd won that game and the next game we'd have had enough points to be promoted, it was a truly dreadful game peering through the streetlights Dumbarton had for floodlights at the time. I think the English game was Everton playing inn Europe

Too often over the years when we have managed to get bigger crowd in we fail to deliver and the occasional supporters are lost again because their night was a depressing failure. Last year at Morton 3 guys beside us - in a big away support - hadnt been to see Motherwell in 5 years and at the end they said they wouldnt be back soon but that kinda game last night changes that mindset. If we have any hope of increasing the support by modest numbers we need that kind of result more often. Not an easy ask.

What will probably go unnoticed was big Moses footwork leading up to the penalty. For a big guy its was some niffty stuff.
