I don't know why one game in Europe would be such a big attraction.

As good as that team was, it never managed a 3rd or 2nd place finish in the league, a cup (or even a cup final) or European football. However, as others have pointed out, McGhee never made these claims, so people are reacting to something that wasn't said.

While I'm sure the fans had a great time in Nancy, I actually thought the team performance was pretty poor (including zero shots on goal). I think this was the first of the various times McGhee chose a formation that just didn't suit the players. I'm disappointed that we didn't make the top 6 this year, but given the position we were in earlier, it was a decent achievement to still be in the mix until the last game before the split.

He talked a good game last season too when we finished 3rd. Were you complaining then?

Is not only the number 2 because he was dropped when he signed his pre-contract?

I would. If I could. But I can't. So I won't.

Someone should confiscate your copy of Football Manager.

I was thinking about that this afternoon. If the figures quoted are accurate i.e 400k fee for Porter and top 6 is worth 300k, then from a business perspective selling was the right option.

I doubt you could name 2 posters to this site that claim he is the font of all football knowledge. It's pretty funny, however, to see people saying he should resign. Talk about short memories. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are occasional years when Motherwell don't qualify for Europe and even a few where we don't finish top 6. At least we had a shot this year. The only thing that surprised me is that I expected us to lose out when Hibs beat Rangers rather than today

That's just pedantic. If we had scored 2 goals we wouldn't have been losing at that stage either. Unfortunately the number of draws we had during our unbeaten run came back to bite us, and the reason for most of those draws has been our inability to finish teams off by scoring goals. It's obvious of course, but instead of drawing, say, 4 of those games, we had won 2 and lost 2, then we would already have been guaranteed top 6. However, we drew far too many that we should have killed off. Today is just another example of that inability. It's easy to blame the defence (and I do it myself), but the strikers need to do their part too. That's why it's a team game.

Bad goal to lose, but let's not just blame the defence. We haven't made a decent scoring opportunity either.

Giving away too many silly free kicks when we are around their box. Wasting valuable time, and pressure.

St. Mirren, for the most part, are happy to dig in with 11 men behind the ball. A point is a great result for them. Unfortunately, it doesn't make a great spectacle.

Definitely been the better team, but St. Mirren have been defending well (if somewhat deep). Hopefully we can score in the first 10 or 15 mins second half and open them up a bit more.

Listening? Are you not wathcing? Decent stream here.

At least you're not on the west coast like our Californian friend.

For once, I think the OF will be a positive factor in this. They already suffer from lack of TV money compared to the EPL and I don't think they would stand for a cut in any current deals.

Nail. Head. Hit.

I've seen it in a couple of the newspapers. It looks like the letter that appears on the 'fishul site was circulated as a press release.

I'm just amused by the fact that what McGhee says is nothing like the "There's No Chance Hibs Will Beat Us To The Top 6" in the headline.

As long as we don't play the same formation we used in the first half of the Cup tie we have a good chance.

I see Hearts new scheme means if you buy an adult season ticket you can get a kids one for 19 quid.

Don't worry. It's all a ploy to soften the blow of McGhee, Hughes, Kilmpl and Reynolds all leaving at the end of the season due to a drop in income from the Cooper Stand. Allegedly

If it guaranteed top 6, then yes. This is Motherwell we are talking about, however, so expect us to run out 3 goal winners and Hibs to get a jammy 96th minute winner.

Aye, but the 'fishul site has a link to here, so it would only be fair to reciprocate.
