Could have been worse - Liam Shaw could have been back for another loan season

Interesting choice, fan’s favourite who won’t get abused and will be given time to adjust - fingers crossed it works out for him. I’d hate to see his status with us tarnished by a poor return.

Maybe he’s slacking

Sadly most teams will see that kind of result at least once this season against them.

Aye but are the lights still on at FP? We normally hear folk saying they’ve seen this or that at this time of night and does Burrows not normally give it a “that’s all for tonight “ tweet?

Don’t be giving them any ideas, could save the nhs a fortune after the old, infirm and those with a dodgy heart have been killed off!

Same goes for that statement

Don’t like bringing politics into this forum but Scotland can produce/export as much energy as you like but until those producers are publicly owned the price we pay will be linked to the profit the company can make. Corrupt government at Westminster, Holyrood or wherever.

September is going to be a tough month but October will be worse. Need to try and get as many points as possible in the next 3 games.

Mulgrew and Watt back in the team, looks like there was a falling out with JR.

Any luck with that?

I think they were possibly on the bench along with Clark because the three of them have fallen out with Ross. Let’s see if they play on Wednesday.

Again I agree with that but this year we had the chance of the extra money to try it without putting the club at risk.

Agree that we’re not paying that but that’s my argument, if we did then the quality would be better which should(?) mean better results, better league finish and cup runs, which in turn would increase revenue. Add to that - hopefully- at least one of those players should be a sellable asset and I believe that it would become self paying. I understand that others would have their noses put out of place but by off loading others a slight increase in their wages could be achievable, they would also benefit from win, cup run and finishing bonuses. They would also have possibly been playing European football for longer.

I hate to go on about it but the club/board/manager screwed it up by not investing the initial €300K + the potential €400K for getting by Sligo on three better quality players on £4K a week over the summer. We also had a better than budgeted finish last year which meant extra cash so it doesn’t make sense to me at all. This would have gave us a shot at €1M if we got past Vikings and potentially a decent season & cup run. Although, in general I’m a supporter of the board, on this occasion I’ve got to say I’m deeply disappointed.

Think it’s more a case of £200,000 they don’t need to find for the academy which could save the society from having to help out so the society’s balance manages to get stronger which should help in the long run.

Shocking! - that’s a classic joke

If the guy eats junk food like that it shows lack of commitment to his fitness- he should be nowhere near fir park, so for that reason it’s a no from me. pity, no a bad player as well

I’m somewhere between ElGrew and GazzyB, I think that we have a decent enough team to avoid relegation but we still have a weak defence that will need strengthened and better cover from midfield if we are to achieve anything above 7th or 8th place. If we get those areas sorted and have a bit of luck then I think we could push for a European spot and even have a good cup run. Looking forward to the season but expect a lot of ups and downs along the way so buckle up folks and ffs, when we get a bad result sit down for a couple of hours, let your anger clear before posting a rant.

From memory I’m sure we have a good sell on clause with Leeds so it’s a definite win, win as we get too see him in a Motherwell top, help further advance his career and potentially get cash if and when Leeds sell him.

Not got the slightest interest in seeing TW in a Motherwell top again. Never was his greatest fan to start with, always said he had a great knack of either flicking the ball just past the post or directly at the keeper and hit a purple patch with us but I do agree that he gave his all, tracked back, was good at winning a foul and taking the pressure off.

Can’t see many on here shedding a tear hearing that.

I think, similar to last season, teams will go on a run of good and bad games which will result in 6 teams chasing 5th & 6th spot leading up to the split. Basically the arse cheeks and Hearts will be there, another team will pull away and get a top 6 spot - hopefully us- two teams will be trying to avoid relegation- hopefully not us - and the rest fighting/ grinding out games.

Definitely

A great result and a great team display. Thought before the game that Aberdeen had improved this season and would win - very happy to be wrong. I think that the way Aberdeen play suits us as they don’t pack the defence which gives us the room to play. Couple that with the new apparent freedom that the players have to be more creative and their refusal to capitulate when they went behind, gives me a lot of hope for the season. I’d add a caveat that there will be more teams that are going to try and pack the defence than ones that will play an attacking game against us so we need to workout how to get a goal to force them out in those games or we could end up watching plenty of shitfests.
