You’ve got to feel for Welsh. That mob are a disgrace. Rotten to the core.

And one of your reasons was that he was hopefully injured. I’d rather he played utterly shite on his debut and got hooked than get injured and subbed.

Wishing an injury on a young player on his loan debut rather than him simply being taken off for not impressing is a strange take. It turns out he actually did go off injured, which is a real disappointment, and it’s even more disappointing that a fellow fan preferred the idea of him being injured instead of just subbed for a poor debut.

Jesus Christ.

If the plan was to run him into the ground until he spewed his ring a few times, then mission accomplished.

Unremarkable game with a much-changed starting eleven, but job done. Why was Luca Ross at left-back? He’s an attacking winger.

No real standouts today, but Priestman edges it for me.

In general, he’s rarely in the right place at the right time, and when he is, he mostly fluffs it. He’s just not got it.

JBA should be picking his strongest eleven today. It's the Scottish Cup.

Most of us can probably agree on this. Scrap VAR and have referee observers review games afterwards, call out mistakes and inconsistencies, and actually hold officials accountable. Let the game flow and deal with the bad officiating afterwards.

Once subjectivity is allowed to creep into a supposedly objective process, the game’s a bogey.

We’ll probably both agree soon enough they’re busted flushes.

If either of Stama or Hendry goes this window, it’s Stama. He’s 18 months into a 3-year deal and clearly not up to it. Hendry’s only 6 months into a 2-year deal and probably deserves a bit longer, but I’m not convinced he’ll come good.

Two things from today’s update that stood out for me: Hendry “overloaded” again. He’s barely played. A signing that just hasn’t worked out unfortunately. JBA the comedian: “Stephen’s [O’Donnell] back jammed up a little. He had to come off, but he managed to bend forward and sign a new deal with us. The back didn’t stop him, and he’s back in training.” https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2026/01/15/scottish-cup-team-news/

I suspect he’ll be back with us next week. Fingers crossed.

Kettlewell is incapable of change and still believes in his own hype. The bigger idiots than Kettlewell himself are the ones who keep giving him a job after his disastrous Motherwell tenure and subsequent meltdown.

Celtic don’t deserve Welsh. The disdain they’ve shown towards him is ridiculous, and he’ll be a huge loss for us.

Maswanhise is a better striker than Stamatelopoulos ever will be. We should’ve punted him in the summer when there was a rumoured offer.

Better finishing and we win this game.

Very wasteful in the final third again. We’re either trying to pass it into the net or gifting it to their keeper.

I completely agree. We should be doing everything we can to invest in JBA.

I’d take a 0–0 or low-scoring draw to keep the momentum going. A win isn’t beyond us though and would be a great marker for the season ahead in terms of league placing.

If JBA ends up at Aberdeen this window, I hope he fails miserably, Flow gets punted into the North Sea and Cormack gets to enjoy the Championship next season.

If he ends up at St Mirren, the only thing he’ll be kicking is other players’ legs.

No rumours this week. JBA is too busy dodging calls from Flow instead of calling Daws.
