I agree with it all .... except the 3 points on Saturday we are truly dire and I expect the same p1sh Ive watched all season. If we take our Claret and Amber specs off 3 wins since September out of 21 games tells it all.

Id start with a prayer.... cos if we are relying on ability we're fucked

Is that formation supposed to offer comfort ... if it makes you feel better fine the result speak for themselves

We havent got a good team mate open ur eyes a midfiled of has beens and a central defence that couldnt keep a pig out a tenement , a left back who is done and a keeper that flaps more than Orville Wright

One thing you can be certain it wont be interesting it will be banal sound bites and fuck all substance.

You are looking through rose tinted specs only two teams worse than our pitiful lot Accies and ICT and we all know how bad we are in head to head with them most of the time. Play off spot at best under McGhee and he'll have us going into that more worried about the opposition.

We havent the balls or the money to sack him , sadly.

I never said we had other options Im just painting reality and there is no happy ending where we are going.

We have been shite all season this was as predictable as rain. We have a dodgy manager at best and can only sign guys from English non league football.. We are heading down, if not this season we will miss it by a baw hair, but medium to long term are only going one way. I remember the days I used to bother.

I dont give a flying fuck if McManus was upset he played like a complete tit sold the Jerseys for the umpteenth time since he came to Fir Park. Instead of being down do your job on more than 50% of the time you play, if you cant leave.

They have been beatable every game since they went t1s up but that makes no difference, they are utter shite and will beat our hapless mob without breaking sweat.

Been saying it for months , Motherwell fans loose the ability to see a player for what they are when they see pace. I remember Motherwell fans going overboard about Eliphas Shivute . I said then he was utter pish all the pace in the world but never a player in a million years. I was howled down by many a Motherwell fan at the time who thought the guy was the next messiah. The same applies to a lesser degree with Johnston. He has plenty pace and will destroy diddy teams but put him up against competent SPFL team from the top division and he'd disappear. The guy is at best average and £1 gets you £1000 the headlines tonight are the last headlines Johnston will ever make. £500,000 is an excellent deal for him.

I like that ... Daisys Player ... that sums him up perfectly. Hes over rated by many Motherwell fans. Sure the club can chance their arm for £750,00 but frankly anything North of £450,000 will be a good deal for a player of questionable ability at the top level. He looks great against p1sh but put him up against a half decent Aberdeen, St Johnstone team he doesnt look so hot, never mind against the OF. Cadden is the real deal not Johnston.

sorry mate that just smacks of the usual apologist viewpoint the entire football establishment in scotland wallow in.

We certainly will never compete with them in singular games with the attitude and complete lack of belief we far too often show against the OF

We give Hammel a 2 year contract so McGhee thinks we will be fine with a 37 year old at left back. Lasley , McManus, Hammel should never had new contracts given to them.

Our fans are a hoot, we paid £50,000 for him a year and a half ago and are getting sniffy because clubs wont pay 20 times that. He isnt 20 times the player we got from kidderminster To suggest he one of the best players in the country is stretching belief. He has many good attributes and plenty bloody awful ones still to be knocked off him. To suggest anyone bidding less than 1.25 million are at it is ridiculous. Hes only worth what someone is willing to pay for him. We are fortunate we can hold out for bigger offers but theres no guarantee on his achievements so far that a 1 Million pound offer is anywhere near achievable..... yet.

All this talk about the league cup sections being better than pre seasons friendlies seems to infer that they replaced the pre season friendlies they didnt they just moved them forward. So the actual competitive structure hasnt changed from our normal start to a season, its just moved it forward. The LC format is just as dire as it was in the 70s. The only upside is the attempt to have competitive games in the "better weather". I realise this year the weather been shite with all the rain but folk that say our weather isnt much better in the summer than the winter are just talking bollox. We have seen from the broadcasters reaction there is money to be had by filling summer schedules with football. However thats where the upswing ends. Look at the attendances at the LC ties this format hasnt improved them one little bit. The LC is an utterly devalued tournament and has been for 20 years, fans are really only interested from semi finals onwards. The fact we let some teams enter late is just making that worse. Seeding is actually killing alot of sport cos it basically rigs the outcome. If we want to try summer football let try it and move the real stuff into the summer months and if it doesnt work change it back its hardly difficult, although Scottish football and traditionalist always find a way for not doing something. there is zero imagination from the clubs and the suits. In my 40 years watching Motherwell the changes have been 1. all seated stadia, forced on clubs 2. Introduce league cup sections, tried and failed 40 years ago. 3. Introduce the winter break, tried and failed 10 years ago 4. Change the number of teams in the Top league to "allow development" and produce better football, tried countless times and every one utterly failed. No wonder the games is dying on its arse , Scottish football only re-does things that have been tried and failed and we wonder why our game is still shite. Einstein definition of stupidity was "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome". Christ we cant even name our leagues without copying our southern neighbours.Those running our game really do get money for old rope.

At least we will have had 3 more games in a cup than we normally get. Our defence and midfield are still cack so even if we score a few you can bet your mortgage we wont stop the opposition scoring in the next two games. The tournament is every bit as dull and boring as the mini league format in the 70s.

Im not wanting much between now and the nd of the season... 1. Us to finish in top 6 2. Us to play Celtic last game in top 6 3. Celtic to be winning the title up to the 90th minute of that game 4. Scott McDonal to score against them and hand the title to Aberdeen No much to ask for.... ​

Aye but the clubs business acumen will have made that assumption based on us winning the Scottish Cup LOL

Even if we didnt come back up what are you seriously missing. Big games againt Killie , ICT , Ross County , Accies , Dundee ...

We will just need to agree to differ Id be pleased if he got the right choice 40% of the time. Anywhere inside the 18 yard box is in a dangerous area just because you;ve put the ball in there doesnt mean the ball is any use. Ill be happy to be proved wrong but am pretty confident hes cack. I thought McHugh was cack, Leitch was cack, Carswell was cack and plenty more besides that others were always asking us to give more time too and unsurprisingly they stayed cack. Ive seen hundreds of players like Jonhston, folk see a wee bit of pace and they are hooked. However Ill be delighted to hold my hands up at seasons end if my views on him have been harsh.
