Aye the phrase tainted title will be bandied about by supporters of the two losers no doubt.

MJC - (potentially enjoying) taking one for the team

I suspect what we will be told if it’s even discussed, is that the player on the ground didn’t make much of an effort to head the ball and didn’t move his head much so Welsh was always going to hit him on the head and as such shouldn’t have attempted to hit the ball. Not saying I think that’s correct just what we will be told as I’ve no doubt that they’ve all spent the last day thinking up a solution to their ineptitude and fuck up.

I keep saying this but foreign referees for VAR and an ex player to give context is what’s needed. Also if - as McGarry indicates in his article - Motherwell are being refereed to a different standard than other teams then the person to blame for that is Slattery. I’m not saying that the referees are right but if the article is correct then no cheating, no different standard. Personally I’m not sure it’s all down to the Slattery incident and more down to incompetence.

If he squares the ball it’s a tap in for Longelo, guys not a team player and is only thinking of a move but that kind of selfishness will put off other teams.

My thoughts are we sell TJ, Watt and Just have another 2 years on their contract so will be told to bide their time unless and mad offer comes in

Garbage is what we watched last season, ok we’ve been poor the last couple of games - mainly due to not adapting to teams pushing up on us and some slack passing - but garbage? Think you need to get a bit of perspective mate.

Great news, a great asset at RB & LB - Love his statement “I’ve got a big smile on my face,” Koutroumbis added. “I’m so happy to stay at this club at a time when it’s going in an exciting direction. Everything is in such a good place, and there is a lot of potential for us going forward.“

Looking at both teams next two fixtures where we have Falkirk at home - who beat us at home - and Hearts away - a very hard fixture, while Hibs have Killie home and Aberdeen away, so possibly we could go into the split ahead on gd, so 50/50 isn’t that ridiculous. Having said that I’m hopeful that we can get at least 1 point.

Just is the one I’d prefer we keep for another season but if a crazy offer comes in - somewhere north of £7M which with 2 years left on his contract and considering the points he could make us next season that’s not that crazy - we’d have to take it. *depending on money received for TJ.

The JBA pre match interview on a Thursday is becoming one of my favourite things to watch, it’s like waiting for your favourite tv programmes next episode. The man is class.

I’m not really familiar with Bodo, are there any other teams close to them or do they have a monopoly on fans within a short distance? That would make things easier - unlike us - if they’re not competing with other clubs to attract fans.

100% agree mate.

Agree with most of what you’ve said here including selling players when it benefits us best so I’m hoping that unless a crazy offer comes in for Just I’d like us to keep him for another season. The one point I’d question is that the Well society is pulling the strings here. Yes we have 2 board members on the club board but I think the biggest influence is the chairman although I do acknowledge that the society - and us as members - has set the direction by fighting off that awful attempt to take over the club and was instrumental in getting changes to the club board that has lead us to where we are now. what the society needs to do now is to somehow manage to increase the society’s membership numbers with new members and encourage back those who left after the takeover was rejected - hopefully this can be achieved but sadly so ex members I know are stubbornly refusing to agree even now that the result was the best outcome for the club.

Am I the only one hoping their game today goes to extra time and they pick up a few injuries?
