good return for goals at all our matches then! Pittodrie 9th March 2013, also @ Hearts mid season, and @ Ross County opening game

Have we ever had a better post split ? Lennon DWWDW McCall DLWWW Wright WDLDL Hughes DLDLW McInnes DDLWL McNamara LWDLL

It can you know, you have to believe that, don't know when, but it can

its one thing avenging a handball and foul goal that robbed two points, like today but beating them in a euro tie and getting them to employ a manager the equivalent of Malpas whilst convincing their owners to give him loads of cash will be a little more difficult.

Yaldi

the draw is on the 23rd June, which will give us some knowledge, but we will not know our actual opponents until the end of the game on 10th July

McCall just said post match , Reid been offered two year deal, we're hoping he signs it!

big section cordoned off, next to corner flag, hopefully they open it up

Motherwell: Hollis, Reid, Hammell, Hutchinson, McManus, Sutton, Vigurs, Lasley, Francis-Angol, Kerr, Ainsworth Motherwell subs: Nielsen, McFadden, Erwin, Murray, Anier, Leitch, Cadden Aberdeen: Langfield, Jack, Anderson, Logan, Reynolds, Flood, Robson, Pawlett, McGinn, Vernon, Hayes Aberdeen subs: Weaver, Tate, Murray, Rose, Smith, McManus, Zola

How many does that end section hold?

Make like a statue and don't move a muscle or make any attempt to collect the football that's trundling along our goal line Oh wait....

Over the full season can only really be between Lasley and Sutton difficult to call it, goals have been so important, but so has the grit that the team has shown to grind out the points, more than any season I can recall and much of that stems from Lasley, who would get my vote

Glad you don't see Sunday being any different, we finish the season as the head to head form dictates and we will have had a better season than anyone expected lets look at how we do when they are always sickening us over the last 4 years at Pittodrie Aberdeen 0 Motherwell 1 WIN Aberdeen 0 Motherwell 0 DRAW Aberdeen 1 Motherwell 1 DRAW Aberdeen 3 Motherwell 3 DRAW Aberdeen 1 Motherwell 2 WIN Aberdeen 1 Motherwell 2 WIN Aberdeen 0 Motherwell 3 WIN Aberdeen 0 Motherwell 0 DRAW reckon it'll be much like Boxing Day 2013, only this time I'll be burstin with pride stuck in the house

interesting stuff, but what is not shown? accommodation relocation vehicles return flights schooling could certainly be very appealing to players at a certain stage of career, even if salary is only comparable.

I'm still raging at the lack of support given to Craig Moore last night totally ruined the end of the game for me, watching him writhe in agony only metres away whilst everyone, bar some fans ignored him. and not stretching him, or even having stretchers stand ready next to him was nothing short of a disgrace. the SFA really need to look at the guidelines, JP was aware of the situation but was unable to go on pitch, even when play was at the opposite corner of pitch, any other industry that left an employee writhing in agony, would get destroyed by lawyers. and as for making him walk around half the pitch, I've never been so angry at any Motherwell employee, it was horrible to watch, shameful. I really hope the lad , can recovery fully, ironically , he's probably go one of the best in the business to help him.

yes, hopeful , that this seasons, budget could be retained with third place, more so with second. but the reality is this seasons is the lowest budget for some years, and even with this seasons cuts , upwards of £400k needed to be borrowed, to trade through the lean months. Derek Weir was quite clear, that no one on board wants to cut anything,the horrendous state of the Scottish football economy has stifled what has been a successful period for the club, he also stated the club isn't run to take any money back out, everything that can be generated , will go into the pot and they all want to get the best squad possible, but without the security of a larger Society fund, its not possible to maintain the 'risk' that trading like that brings with it on players some of them are coming out of deals, that were supplemented previously with external incomes ( Las n Ham) so perhaps they are the guys referenced as facing potential cuts? Sutton is guaranteed his difference in earnings for the balance of his contract, when Hearts administration gets resolved, so he is another one, that in real terms will not earn as much this coming season, unless we win big!

Top form? tonight? in the second half there were more than a few occasions when 'he couldn't be arsed' and a few when he could and got involved I'm not quite agreeing with steelboy here, but if McManus was telling him to get his arse in gear he, was quite right.

Too right, that point, and Europe is massive, we might even have it secured before Wednesday ko 2nd is the bonus

Good luck mrs JT and son of Wallace, hopefully you get many breaks that make the battle a little easier

eh , naw surprisingly, yes the first year Rangers were missing they,sacrificed nothing, it was 2nd down that split and shared the remainder but on the move to SPFL, they were said to be giving up a quite considerable chunk, from seasons previous, and other clubs sacrificed a smaller amount, which in essence provides for parachute payments to any SPFL club that drops a division ( and importantly second payment if they don't come straight back up) given that, the idea is, any club that drops, maintains fulltime status to try and keep the top of championship alive and the clubs ability to return to SPFL

It has never officially been released afaik quite a few on different platforms , based estimation on one source, an old STV article which guesstimated split and figures based on tit bits released during the league reconstruction negotiations From snippets I have heard, yes second place has a significant boost over 3rd, but not quite a significant as when Rangers and Celtic were carving it up between themselves, but that alone could be down to having no league sponsor Doncaster announced with the Irn-bru deal that clubs, had now had confirmed amounts to work with, even without league sponsor and Ive seen articles saying that is £18million for SPFL prize money our own Keith is quoted in the evening times http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/spfl/lasley-penalty-decision-could-cost-us-dearly-158739n.23888447 saying 2nd gives £240k more than 3rd, that would have been nearer £1million before Rangers collapse destroyed the income

No public transport led to Most surreal walk back into glasgow ever, hunners of them in full on fancy dress faces tripping , me and mate riling them all the way

Basically name a team from almost any game last season and maybe stick Ainsworth in for the Hump, in the second half

the sentiment is sound, and I agree that giving all these kids/guardians/etc. a taste of live football, then going into a close season is not very effective, given that in reality they will not sign up for a family season ticket for a season, based on that one game, and only other option is the ludicrous PATG prices similarly I cant believe Wednesday evening game is full price, any kid that does pester their family, that they want to go along will be faced with telling mum or dad it'll be £28 for the two of them on a school night but as pre-season home games,, come at quite a cost for the club, and its one of the games that we all have to pay into, it might be too difficult to offer it free, making it a total loss maker.... maybe 2nd place prize-pot would allow club to experiment I don't know the solution, but whilst last game is definitely popular when we win and step towards a euro prize etc., its not really the best for a follow up incentive to get them back through the turnstiles, Id like to see similar in the early season games where we have two consecutive Saturday home games, first one promotional, with a voucher to follow up with Parent child voucher for tenner? then realistic gate prices , where basically the kid is free if an adult pays in for max £20 and teenagers are pocket money territory max at £10 EDIT: Ive just remembered that the club having been offering groups regularly throughout season, which is great , but again, £28 to come with their mum or dad any match thereafter, just doesn't work.

2 games left, #1 versus a John Yogi Hughes side, who seemed to have been packing up for the summer break until todays point from Dundee united. played them twice fairly recently and coped well enough, once with width then away with tighter midfield last home game took us a bit to get going, and big Gunnar had one of his better games, working hard to keep us a clean sheet. with Carswell still out and Gunnars unexplained absence, I'd be tempted to stick with todays starting 11 this thread will likely take a change in direction with, Dundee United facing Aberdeen 24hours before our game, Wednesday night we could go into the game already in Europe , or be in the same position of needing 1 point for Europe or anything up to 3 to stay in a shout for 2nd...
