Yet, a team with a good history of selling youths to down south did it again, while being a league below ours.

Which in itself was poor defending. But he wasn't the only one.

Not quite. The ball dips down less than a yard from the keeper.

I would like to see how other keepers deal with that kind of shot. Dipping and close to the body is a very risky one to attempt to hold. From his starting position it would also been one of the saves of the season if he managed to parry to the side. If anything was wrong with the save, it was that - his positioning

Very easier to understand what happened with the first. The ball was hit with venom from the edge of the box, after 3 failed attempts at getting the ball away from our box. On route to the keeper the ball dips right at the end (maybe less than a yard away from the keeper). Keeper's nightmare. Rooney decided he was going to gamble on this happening our defence decided they'd scratch their arse. 1-1. Second was embarrasing all over, and we had been given a warning just seconds earlier. Although - the warning signs were there in the first half, when Hayes managed to make 4 Motherwell defenders part like the red sea by just touching the ball.

No it was more down to the fact Rooney somehow was 5 yards sharper than our defence and we couldn't clear a ball 30 yards despite having about 100 attempts to do so. Lets not even start about our ability to mark at deadballs

Highest points total (post war) 2011/12 as well no?

Think if we score in first 15 mins then we could score "as many as we want". Think we will win 3-0 though

There is at last report an £18m prize fund, not sure if that includes the TV deal with China. 2nd place will bag over 9% of that 18m. For us (2nd) to get little more than 100k would mean all commercial revenue would be less than 2m. The China deal alone is £2m. Then you add Sky, BT, BBC, SEGA, EA Sports, Irn Bru and all other commercial deals we get a lot more than £100k.

Not sure about the SPFL but in most countries it is 28 days - I doubt we'd be much different. I guess we talk to Dundee about extending longer now due to next game falling within the window if we choose too.

The New Firm having their best seasons in years

So according to the media Hibs are spending about £10m this winter. Bringing in 6 strikers, 5 midfielders and a a couple of defenders. Hibs

Yet by history no defeats in 5 years = automatic defeat Anyway, 2-0 Motherwell.

The New Firm was being wanked over last season too, as were ICT. We ended up better than the lot of them then. Tbh I don't care how the media portray us, but what I think is weird is we could do the unthinkable and end best of rest three years running - something I think early 90's you need to go back to see

Surely the standing area will also be a seating area? Since standing areas would still be a no no in UEFA competition.

Why? The questions that should be asked are. 1) Is it possible to keep them and 2) If so is it more likely we end in a higher position with them than without. If the answer to both is yes, then we have to sign them on again.

Very true but again we are 4 points better of than last year. And last year we again had how Dundee Utd were so much better than us. Think we need to wat till after the January transfer window as the last two seasons we have looked meh going into the window, when McCall (who has no eye for a player according to some) has brought in a player that gives us something fresh. Could we be better, of course but we could also be a lot worse

The thing is we've supposedly shite, although thankfully no cunt has come up with the worst in the history yet. Since we all like projections, if we continue on this current form (this season beat the bottom six every game and gain a point from the top six per round) we will have more points than 3rd place ended on last season.. Before we reach the split.

Why don't you ask Leeann Dempster? Why would Celtic bring up charges for criminal damages?

May have a point but Motherwell could go on a 20 game winning streak, scoring at least 3 goals a game but if we had the audacity to lose a game after that run then it would be a whole sky is falling scenario. That is of course after this place has been quiet for the whole winning run.

It is scary how bad Hibs are, and would be a travesty to football if any other club ends in the playoff place. We will win this game, but how hard we make it is down to the players, and the players alone. 2-0

Clean sheets, damm the hell on Craigan retiring, Hutchy making mistakes and Hammell getting a year older.... New players, failed compared to who? No one. Do you know how to read a league table? Fall so far behind by having more points than all but one of the non old firm city clubs?

To answer the question in the title.... Fir Park on Sunday.

Saints have no centre backs. Think we will win this at a canter, if we learn to take our chances. 4-0

Every single Motherwell player is international class. Have you seen some(most) of the National Sides. "Not international Class" is one of the dumbest comments in football. Have people seen the spectrum for International Football? As for not being Scotland class, nonsense. Is he or will he be the greatest left back to play for Scotland, probably not but what he has done is play over 400 games at a decent level, more than most and will be, if needed an adequate stand in
