Lesson learned. No quick posting when pissed off 😂.

That'll be three points chucked through absolute stupidity. With the space and possession given to Hibs the last 20 minutes hell mend us.

A big crowd rarely seems to do Motherwell any good, quite the opposite actually.

Our board aren't amateurs. Derek Weir has significant professional experience, more than probably most on this board. He is doing the Chief Exec role to fill in, nothing less. Mcmahon likewise. However he in my opinion has not held certain personnel to account in the manner required of a chairman in recent times. Douglas Dickie, in fact the continous presence of a member of the Dickie family for the last 20+ years when I think of it, has me scratching me head. Why is this chap always there and what is his role? Genuinely open to being educated on the matter but why, after so many years, do this particular family still hold significant influence over the club. Is their shareholding that substantial?

😂

St Mirren must have some sort of record for knocking us out cups...

43 years ago? Pretty traditional.

I'm in the white shorts club, they make it look a bit more classy. One thing I insist on (and I wouldn't buy the shirt otherwise) that it has our club crest and NOT the MFC lettering from yesteryear that was "reinvented". We stopped using it for a reason...

We had Champmans pies back in the Gannon season. So they are capable, or were, of producing the quantity needed for a match day.

Watching on the online stream. Our commentator getting torn into the referee big time throughout the match but Nick Walsh 100% was nowhere near the reason we lost today.

This is what happens when we don't take our chances. Fair play we have been 1 up most of the game but this performance today just isn't on a par with what we have seen recently.

I looked at who was on the board last night and notice that Douglas Dickie remains on the board meaning that family have had an almost consistent presence as long as I can remember. Can anyone explain what he does for the club as its not overly known? Did the Dickie family not transfer their shareholding to the Well Society at the same time as Boyle/Hutchison and the other minor shareholders? I'd agree with some earlier posts over looking at the structure of the board. It is a little bit small and could do with some additional presence on there. Whether we need a director of football specifically though I'm not sure. I don't really see the benefit of that as at the end of the day the function of the business is football. If we have department heads for each of the clubs activities (Academy, First team (aka manager), commercial, catering and facilities) then they are directly accountable to the board fo the running of their respective operations.

Just waiting the Alexander fan club analysis of tonight's showing

Not expecting this to be comfortable at all. We have no right for it to be either. I actually think Thursdays game will be challenging and we may even concede, eventually settling into the tie. Just pure speculation as I don't know the first thing about their squad. Then I query which Motherwell squad will turn up - the one who ground out a result against Hearts or the one which dragged its feet through January and February. Any word on how ticket sales are going by the way?

Thinking about all this and possible dates, are we going to be able to play our home tie at Fir Park with all the work ongoing? Would hate to be going to Airdie again.

It was emotional as a fan, this gentleman has given everything to this club through thick and thin. A genuine love for the club, along with the passion that has been missing since he (and Hamell) hung up their boots. I'm used to hearing the older generation talking about "their" set of Motherwell legends, this guy is undoubtedly one that our generation will talk about for years to come. Best of luck to him, and I hope it's not the last we see of him.

I'm all for a hybrid pitch but if the figure of 2 million quoted is what's being thrown at it I can't say I'm onboard. I'd go as far as to say it's absolutely nuts.

Huge difference between Robinson and Alexander. Robinson had a rapport with the support I've never seen previously with a manger or since. It felt very much like a journey together and many, myself included, were genuinely gutted when it started to fall apart. Alexander does not have that luxury, nor does he have the perception of love for the club that Steven Robinson built up over his time at Fir Park. His attitude genuinely stinks. This talk of Alexander's wholesale change of the backroom team concerns me, if this is indeed true then the empire will be harder to bullet financially when we are sitting in the bottom three in November.

I wish I was Graham Alexander. Doing absolutely feck all every week, not acting on objectives for improvement and still being paid without fear of the sack.

That's unacceptable. Business as usual. Run right through us, easy goal.

Sevco winning the EL has me laughing. That won't happen. The fact they have reached the semis is nothing short of remarkable combined with the fact they have had very very lucky draws and a few nightmares from the likes of BD on their side. In all honesty I struggle to get my head round wtf each place means for Europe etc now. Am I right by saying 1,2,3 and 4th all get Europe automatically with 5th getting in if the cup is won by someone already qualifying?

Alexander for manager of the month. I jokes. But at least we have a positive.

Absolutely no way does Alexander merit the ability to gloat about achieving top 6 so as far as I'm concerned today's outcome is deserved in every sense. Now can we start the protests?

We know Robbo is more than capable of grinding out results. He has a relatively good squad there now and we have absolutely no right to expect anything from the match. It possibly is Alexander's most important game, given that this can either make top six or set us up potentially to bottom 4. I wouldn't even say an early lead is crucial as that counts for nowt with this squad has been demonstrated previously.

I don't rate KVV. His ability to finish is absolutely woeful. A major part of the problem.
