I know it’s COVID and all that nonsense but in the days where some clubs are trying to keep their heads above the water why clubs are doing their upmost in discouraging supporters along, back in the day there would be some neutral supporters would maybe choose to go to a game on the day of the match, but alas these days have gone! I would imagine there will be an attendance of 4000 to 5,000 at today’s game which will not fill Dundee’s coffer’s that much

I would imagine GA will start the same 11 as last Saturday but word of warning , Hibs thought they were going to be league contenders after their display against Rangers, then came Ross County!! to be fair I think Hibs fixtures chaos will not help them

I see Hearts have announced they have sold over 3,000 tickets for the game.

How many games is SOD suspended for? let’s hope it’s for few!

I am now generally worried for us as there is no games left that we can safely say that we could get points, I honestly thought we had the players to have a good season, but alas it looks like survival is a must, a few questions have to be asked, we have leaked goals left right and centre recently yet GA maintains that they are working on that in training, I am sorry if they are not doing as instructed I think it’s time to drop a few of the non performers ( I hate to think how many that is!) For me Slattery has been the biggest disappointment considering we payed money for him and came in high regards, but for me he hasn’t performed, let’s hope they do a Dundee get a hammering in one game and win the next game?

No idea when GA’s presss conference is but are there any injury news yet, I take it Ojala will be out and I also thought that Solhom is also an injury doubt?

I see we have been linked with Ross Tierney of Bohemians to sign in January window, in fact it’s been mentioned on a 3 year deal, which is surprising as I have never heard of him and to be linked with him in middle of October for January window which suspect his agent has leaked to get more clubs interested, has anyone heard of the midfielder is any good?

Our old friend Calum Lang was man of the match for the 4-0 victory for Wigan v Bolton, he scored one but was involved in the other 3 goals, Wigan looking good for automatic promotion.

Out of interest where does this info come from?

I think it has been a few years since we have had more than 10,000 at Fir Park

I am not defending Steven but I don’t think he got much of a chance under GA , his problem was a bit injury prone which didn’t help him, I do wish him well for the future.

Interesting article but he will still be on a lot better contract than he had with us

With the Newcastle revelation about to start under the new Saudi owners I would think our ex goalkeeper Mark Gillespie will be looking for another club, in fact I am not sure where he is in the pecking order now!

Did anyone see the push on Phil Foden in Liverpool v Man City yesterday and no foul given compared to Slattery’ s push on Devlin, the Foden push seemed a LOT worse than Slattery’s push, so in England they don’t give fouls but up here we do, are we not all working to the same rules!!

I cannot agree more, although some social media sites had McGinley as the star man…based on what?

I was slightly disappointed in KVV as he was much the same against Ross County last week, although I thought Sheilds was very unlucky not to open his account for us, only a good save from Gordon that prevented him scoring.

Never mind the first Scottish game, we will have the usual 3 or 4 players injured after Saturday’s league games…..sorry there might not be we are actually in a position of possibly getting into a qualification so everyone might be fit!!!

Personally I am not sure about getting a Scotland call up but after thinking about it, I don’t think he could be any worse than Dykes or Nisbet, I am sure he will be on Steve Clarke’s radar so wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a call up!

Sorry to put this in this post but our game v Celtic which is scheduled for Saturday 16th October with a 1500 hrs kick off, does anyone know will that be changed for TV?

Just a bit of information, couple of golf mates are Hearts supporters and they have received an email saying that the game against us on October 2nd October that Hearts will not be selling any tickets (to Hearts supporters) until they get clarification from the Scottish Government about the guidelines for Covid passports, so based on that it might be another away game where we will end up with no tickets?

I am not 100% sure I know KVV was booked for diving but after seeing it again Steven McLean seem to wait a few seconds suggesting that assistant referee had seen the dive, anyway my point if that’s true then the assistant are very good at seeing at any Motherwell infringements but not a blatant penalty for us or their goal being offside!!

Does anyone know if there is going to be a reserve or under 21 league this year as at the moment we will have a few players that will not play any competitive football in the near future which cannot be good for their careers or the club.

Sorry but I thought Beaton had a good game as far as Scottish refereeing performances go, he basically had mostly every decision correct, I know at the game we tend to disagree but watching on TV after the game he wasn’t far wrong, although I do agree that if it had been Willie Collum refereeing Van Veen would have been sent off for a second yellow.

Just seen that tackle on Allan and is very lucky to be able to limp off instead of being carried off, as for the tackler he is a very lucky man to escape a red card, surely his yellow card will be upgraded to red!

Really enjoyed the game and the defence were rock solid, considering it was Solholm’s, first game for us it looked like he had been playing all of the season with this team and can only get better as we progress. Hopefully good times ahead, the only down side for me there were supposed to be just over 4,100 Well supporters at the game and we have suppose to have sold over 5,200 season tickets?
