I thought Celtic had first 15 mins of second half and then we started to control the ball more but then PK and red killed us. We didn’t do well at the corner, Ward missed the ball and Longello was caught on wrong side of Maeda.

Yep. Game to open. Keep the ball

Getting in amd around their box very well but can’t find the pass to set up goal scoring chance. Although Slattery did have a chance from a good move close to end of first half.

Good overall performance but we got caught up in the frenzy after we scored but seem to have calmed down again. Frustrating that we gifted equalizer after we punished their slack play. Definitely times when you just need to clear the ball.

We should run at chamberlain,

So many chances to clear

Gift!!!

Need to maintain our composure

I made square slice last night and rolls due out the oven in about 5 mins. A few Motherwell goals and it will be a great day.

‘Mon the ‘Well!!!

That’s what JBA said, he doesn’t see anyone in top 6 making it to end of season, winning every game.

Why just a draw?

Pretty unusual that this will be our third game against Celtic this season and the third manager we have faced. Rogers, Nancy and O’Neil. I imagine this game will be more like the previous one at parkhead but I think even in that game we still matched up well with Celtic. I’m assuming we will have more space to play football in this game versus against Dundee last week so I’ll be expecting Just, Said and JT to be more influential and hopefully some decent shots from our midfield around the edge of the box. Probably our main concern is defense since Welsh is out and Johnny K is still out but if we can maintain the ball for a large percentage of the game then that’s our best form of defense.

JBA has made such a difference in such a short time that sometimes you have to take a step back and remind yourself of just how much progress we have made. Yes, losing was a big disappointment but that was the only game we have lost in 18 against bottom 6 teams. We still dominated the game but just couldn’t manage to get the goals to win it. I was pleased to see JBA’s after match response which was very calm, sensible and measured, giving plaudits to Dundee for making it a very hard game for us amd also sticking by our players for their efforts. Being philosophical a not throwing anyone under the bus, basically sticking by the outlook he has preached all season, “there will be games, where, despite our best efforts, we will get beat”. Keep doing what we are doing well and work on improving in areas where we can do better.

If I remember correctly, they are inside the Arctic circle or maybe I’m mixing them up with another team??

I’m assuming “bump on the nose” is actually “kicked in the face” (his fault) when he tried to rugby tackle the Dundee player.

Were Bodo even smaller than us? At least a similar size? So why not us too! Let’s live the dream.

Any news on Fadinger and Johnny K ?

Well that’s bad because when did the Sun ever publish anything that’s true?

It’s not???

Looking at our performance from the season start this is the only game we have lost in 18 games against the bottom 6 teams. That’s pretty impressive for Motherwell !!

I’ll go 0-2. Just and JT

Probably right. So a fine as well!

Why is Ox recalled? I also don’t get the NZ reference

Might be the case. But we each have our own opinion on that. More important is that both clubs get punishment that helps to deter these people from doing this again. I’m not holding my breath on that. I’d make them play the first two OF games of next season behind closed doors. This mainly punishes the fans but is also a loss of revenue for both clubs. Then moving forward any time it happens the punishment gets increased by 1 game. Maybe overly simplistic but that’s just off the top of my head. SFA and the clubs need to have a think about it and work out how to stop this. That applies to all clubs.
