MJC

Two poor teams playing on the worst pitch in the league. If there is to be a winner It will come down to who is less poor on the day. 1-0 home win.

One goal off but pretty much spot on. Well done MJC

The squad is full of mediocre/poor players so it’s no surprise. As you say that’s clearly not Wimmers fault but he’s inherited a shite squad and he’s got a big challenge to try and get a tune out of it.

Can see this being a heavy defeat tbh. 5-1 home win

He won two Scotland caps whilst playing for us. According to Wikipedia his last one was in May 1990.

It’s the type of signing that we could only dream of making nowadays. A key player for one of the Old Firm and still a Scotland internationalist and we sign him for £50k. An absolute snip especially when you consider what he went on to achieve with us while well into his thirties.

An absolute bargain of a signing and a top quality player who helped deliver the ultimate success for us. They don’t make them like him these days.

From being 0-2 down I’ll certainly take that point. Obviously disappointing not get the win but well done for fighting back.

Second best so far and we’ve not come close to matching their intensity in attack. Credit obviously for a quick reply to going 2-0 down but I reckon it’s already too little too late for us today.

The most ‘Motherwell’ thing ever. Beat Rangers at Ibrox and then lose the next game at home. Whoodathunkit?? 🤔

Which is why I said if that was true.

That’s absolutely scandalous if that’s true. He’s our player, we are paying his wages and if we’re resting him for his international sides benefit then it’s a joke.

“We can provide the following update on our injured players. Luke Armstrong caught his pony tail in the door and ruptured his Achilles in the process and will be out for several months. Speedy recovery Luke”

Armstrong and Maswanhise not in the squad today. They both next on the ‘speedy recovery lads’ list? Luke Plange gets his first start Ox makes the bench

Have to admit my first thought when I saw the post yesterday was why the awful ‘Jester’ kit rather the 94-96 classic? And why the 95/96 black away kit rather than the Claret with Amber pinstripes that we played against Dortmund in? I’m sure the kits will sell but if we’d brought out both kits predecessors they would have much more popular. I would be happy to pay £100 rather than £50 for the 94-96 Motorola retro.

And well done to him and Rangers too. Hope they go far in that competition.

I’ve said this before about KvV, we got the best of him during his time with us especially in his second season. He was happy, scoring goals nearly every week and playing with confidence. A purple patch for a journeymen? Maybe it was but if it was then what a purple patch it was and we were the ones who benefited from it. He moved on that summer and has never been able to recreate that form and hasn’t settled in a team like he did with us since. Why that is can be down to any number of things but I think it’s safe to say that he was good for us and we were good for him.

That’s a very good post with alot of good points. And you may well be right about politics playing a part in some people’s thinking with regards to foootball. As much as I hate it and don’t get it, that happens in this country and some people just cannot separate the two. What I would say to counter your argument though is that I think there are also some in our support who perceive any criticism of Celtic or someone stating a dislike of them more than Rangers as being pro-Rangers/pro-Union/pro-Orange order and (perhaps most ludicrous of all) anti catholic. I can’t speak for everyone but my dislike of Celtic is based on football, my own experiences of them and the way their supporters act and the attitudes they display. It’s not driven by politics or religion. Finally, while I have to admit that you are very much one of the posters on here whom I base my “hate Rangers more than they like Motherwell” at due to your previous posts about how you were never a fan of Stuart McCall due to your dislike of all things Rangers despite him doing well with us and how you wouldn’t want Barry Ferguson at FP watching a game never mind being involved in managing us, I have never believed that this was down to you being pro-Celtic. I just think some of your posts suggest you were a ‘Rangers hater’ first and foremost and a Motherwell supporter second.

My dislike of Celtic doesn’t outweigh my support of Motherwell. If a player or manager is wearing our colours giving their all for us then that’s all I care about. The team they support doesn’t matter. That’s the difference. So, you’re accusing me of being a Rangers fan yet in the very next sentence bemoan that in this part of the world nobody believes you when you say you support a non-Old Firm club?? With attitudes like yours from a non-OF club fan what chance does anyone have?

Oh yes they do. It’s a small minority though, granted, but there are definitely some in our support whose dislike of Rangers outweighs their love of Motherwell. I’ve been at Fir Park enough times and heard enough comments about enough players and read enough comments on here and other social media to know that there are some in our support who absolutely DO hate Rangers more than they like Motherwell. Anyway we’re going off topic here so I’ll leave it at that and apologise to the Admin team for the temporary derailment of the thread.

Re: Halliday he definitely appears to have upped his game since Wimmer took over, all of a sudden he is showing more effort and workrate. He did well on SSB last night too so full marks for that. I’ve always loved how he gets up the noses of the “I hate Rangers more than I like Motherwell” section of our fanbase and if he’s playing well that will happen all the more

It would be in true Motherwell fashion if we lost a home game right after winning at Ibrox. It happened last year when we won there we lost our very next game at home 0-1 against Aberdeen.

0-1 defeat

The (correctly) disallowed goal apart I thought we were pretty comfortable in the latter stages.

It can be forty shades of shite for all I care right now Beating Rangers will never not be brilliant. Winning twice in our last two games against Rangers at Ibrox is sensational stuff!
