First of all, I don't see anybody preaching. I seem to recall the club's official statement being sensitive to the fact that we had found ourselves in a similar situation. Secondly, Motherwell and Cardiff are both businesses. When we went into administration there were certain legal (and league) obligations we we required to fulfill. Whether you agree with them or not, we did meet them. All we are asking is Cardiff do the same.

All these doom and gloomers - call yourself fans? This is Motherwell we are talking about. I expect nothing less than a spirited 2-1 victory. To be followed by a 3 - 1 defeat at Fir Park after scoring the first goal and then conceding a hat trick (fastest in Europa Cup history) with 3 minutes remaining to a guy who hasn't hit the target in 5 years.

Unfortunately, until the crowds dwindle to zero, we are going to have to endure noon-Sunday kickoffs for the foreseeable future. The TV companies don't care about the fans that are actually attending the game.

I think you need to get 'out there' a wee bit more yourself.

Some grounds you visit, when you ask for a Bovril they give you Oxo. It tastes almost the same, but it's not really Bovril so I always feel slightly cheated. They never did that with Kia-ora or the Chipmunk crisps.

My old job used to bring me into contact with many large financial institutions who broker deals. It's not exactly unusual for announced deals to fall through at the last minute, and certainly not regarded as unprofessional. The Wall Street Journal is full of prospective deals, mergers and acquisitions every day; many of which never come to fruition. The club obviously thought they had a deal in place. It fell through so they went out and secured another one prior to the SPL kick-off. That sounds like good business to me and the sort of professionalism I would expect from a commercial department.

And yet, for all that, it was Lasley's stupidity in giving away a pointless free kick that turned the game.

Why is there no marking or tackling, would be a better question.

That was on the cards.

Paying the price for not converting our possession into goals. It doesn't matter how poorly Hibs play, Riordan/Stokes are always likely to score. Need to get a wee bit sharper up front in the second half.

atdhe.net has 3 streams now. When one gets blocked it's replaced in about 20 seconds.

It's Riordan and Stokes that scare me. Time for us to convert out possession into a second goal.

As long as he is kicking it forwards, I don't care

Classic strikers' goal.

http://atdhe.net/22533/watch-motherwell-vs-hibernian is good for me today.

Not everybody that is going will be a poster on here.

Maybe you should go and work in Europe. You could get revenge by stealing a job from a Spaniard. I hear they enjoy their smoke bombs over there too.

Certainly the high quality presentation I'd expect from a potential superstar.

HOT........ ach, you know the script.

Or maybe she feels there is nothing to defend when the club is charging less for a major Euro tie than a regular SPL game. (It's "defence" btw. I let you off the first time )

Maybe because there have been a number of well thought-out responses from other posters in the thread discussing the pros and cons of the approach taken by the club.

To be fair, a meaningful game against Odense is a much more attractive proposition than a meaningless friendly against a poor Scotland team.

There's also a Terravision bus that runs from Victoria to Stansted. 9 quid one way, 14 quid return.

Your decent education omitted the necessary question mark.
