Excellent summary.

Thought Long put in a tireless shift and did well with the scraps he was fed.

Thats true. But they also wont sit in as much as the other teams so we should get more space to play in when we get the ball. It will be fine margins. If we can cut out stupid mistakes at the back and make good decisions going forward, we definitely have a chance. We proved that at Ibrox.

Thats a fair point.....

Very solid performance after a slow start. Defensively we were very good and limited St Mirren to very few chances over 90 minutes. No doubt James Scott turned the game in our favour and the whole team grew in confidence because of that. We managed the game very well in the 2nd half and should have scored more.

Lots of really good performances tonight. The whole back four were good but Mugabi was a stand out again. Polworth and Donnelly both had very good games and Hylton did well. Hard not to give it to Scott though. Looked dangerous every time he had the ball and 2 great goals.

The club record fee is still the £1.75m paid for Phil O'Donnell. Only that at the fee for Faddy come anywhere close.

Not sure how we can have lost money when we cant borrow from anyone and we have just paid off all our debt. I would have thought it was almost impossible given our structure. It may be a notional loss comparing money in to money out. Be interested to here from anyone with more knowledge or insight.

No real stand outs for me, certainly not for 90 mins. Hartley was pretty solid and always a danger at set pieces. Cole was very good second half. I went for Carroll, he looks like the left back we have been missing and got his first goal for the club. Decent days work.

I noticed that comment and drew the same conclusion that he was referring to Sloth.....

Gets his team to a Champions League Final, then gets sacked before xmas? Aye sounds familiar!

Delighted for the big fella getting his first cap. Thought he did well enough, certainly the better of the 2 centre backs. For me McKenna caused their goal. Terrible first touch and foul to concede the free kick. Not sure what more Gallagher can do with the header. Did well to get something on it. He will be better for the experience.

My favourite Motherwell player right now by a mile! #oneofourown

We need to do what we did in the first 35 mins at Fir Park for 90 mins, and it still might not be enough, but at least it will give those brave souls making the journey something to get behind. If Celtic are not quite on it, you never know......

Im sorry too.......

I didnt know that. But the point stands.

Les is a hardnosed businessman. You dont make the money he has made without ruffling a few feathers. Quite often that doesnt make you very likeable. TBF though, I dont need to like Les to be thankful for what he did for our club. He may have made mistakes, but he was the right man (maybe the only man) at the right time. So thank you Les.

I see Bayern Munich are also in the market for a new manager. We just cant seem to catch a break this week!

The Aker Stadion in Molde is an absolute belter. 11,280 capacity. https://www.stadiumguide.com/akerstadion/

I dont think we need a 12000 capacity stadium. Even when the gruesome twosome come we struggle to get 10k. I would suggest 10k would be plenty. Id favour looking at some of the Scandinavian stadia for design ideas though. The one we played in at Aelesund was quite an attractive stadium. Be interesting to see how much that cost and if it could be incorporated into a community based set up with retail / dining / entertainment options. Would there be room around Brandon Arcade for such a venture?

Id be loathed to move away from Fir Park, but it all comes down to finances. Can we afford the ongoing maintenance costs without redevelopment? If not can we afford to redevelop at the existing site? If not, how much is the land worth and would anyone buy it? Would this revenue be enough to build something decent elsewhere? Where would be the best site for a newbuild? How much would the land cost? Would the council help out? As a fan owned club, any decision we make will have long lasting effects. It needs to be the right one.

Gonna go for a walk on the beach and hope to be pleasantly surprised when I get back! (Although I dont expect to be).

Ok. Ever been employed as a taxi driver? Asking for a friend.....

Maybe because you sound like a Rangers fanboy? Everyone knows Rangers are spending more than they can afford to try and stop 10 in a row. They have to balance the books or face another admin event. With Mike Ashley waiting in the wings for his merchandise cash, they may have a pretty hefty bill to pay very soon. To suggest that the board dont need or want to sell Morelos is fantasy stuff.

No real stand outs. Went for Long for the same reasons as others. Pest of a player in the Dougie Arnott mould. If he can add goals to his game we might have a player. His pace is a real assett.
