real dosser

Absolute dross today. No creativity, no heart, no battling for the ball. It was a winner takes all cup game and we did f**k all to win it. my recollection of McCormack's first 45 minutes in a Well strip was that he touched the ball once and that was to hit a free kick ( I missed the first 5 minutes so perhaps he kicked the game off). He was so unfit it was unbelievable. The other new lad looks like he has some tricks and was far better on the left when he swapped with Frear before he was swapped back to the right. Gorrin I thought showed more in his 15-20 minutes than the rest of them did in the whole game.

Not a great performance but a terrific result considering we lost 2 defenders within the first 15 minutes. People saying we stole a point but after the penalty save Gillespie had nothing to do. Celtic huffed and puffed but were forced to spend most of the game playing across the park. Just enjoy an unexpected point especially after Saturday's performance.

Michael Stewart once again showing his total ignorance of anything Motherwell related. Talking mince about Rodriguez being one of the main reasons Well are looking better recently. He hasn't played for about 10 f*****g weeks due to injury. I think somebody told him Turnbull has made a difference in midfield and he saw a number 23 on his shirt and assumed that this must be this guy Turnbull. His only contributions to punditry is to argue with Thomson and talk shite about HIS interpretation of the laws of the game. .

? Debut for Mbulu

Exactly Big Stall

I don't think he was good enough last season in the few games I saw him but on todays performance he has come on by leaps and bounds and if he keeps progressing like that no matter where he is playing at present we will have a potential match winner in the future. also agree about Mbulu ?? He looks very similar to Cedric when he came into the side at first. Looks athletic, still has a lot to learn and is a confident on the ball ( sometimes too confident) and is always looking to play the ball out of defence. We might just have unearthed another winner here.

Crags and Steven McManus deserve great credit for putting a TEAM on the park who are extremely well organised, know what they are doing and more importantly can play some great football. There were 11 heroes on the park today but special mention to Livingston, Hastie, Turnbull and Scott. People saying we made a mistake by sending young Hastie out on loan surely saw today that he has progressed and gained so much in confidence that I was quite surprised the Sligo right back came out for the second half given the roasting he took in the first 45 minutes. Terrific performance by the young dossers. Roll on the quarter final.

Said on the way to the game yesterday that I prefer Cadden and Tait playing together on the right as they complement each other. Still of the same opinion. Great performance by everybody and a point was the least we deserved. Gerrard saying if the Gers had defended the two crosses they would have won 3-1. By that logic if it wasn't for a deflection for the first and a goalkeeping error for the third we would have won 3-1. Dry your eyes Stevie you were lucky to get away with a point By the way why was Flanagan the subject of all the booing from the Hunter stand ?

at Aldreds booking he pointed out 3 occasions where he had fouled previously yet Morelos was fouling persistently all game without a word being said to him. As said in another post there were 3 occasions when Rangers players raised their hands to Well players with nothing said. The number of decisions he had to make is irrelevant the whole point is he has to be consistent and he never is as far as Motherwell is concerned

BBC site says the board are unhappy with Miller both on and OFF the pitch. Don't think he is for resigning more likely he is getting the bullet.

Think the queues were due to the Bois arriving en masse from the Electric. They were all in the road beside Club 100 and then marched round to the gates but it cleared pretty quickly.

Callaghan won't be a free. Sun article says Hearts will be looking for a fee as they paid to get him from Raith Rovers

And in this close season they have done exactly the same as us and let a couple of their better players go and await to see what is going to happen with McGinn with Brighton now showing an interest.

Who are the other teams around us who build on their successes to compete in the league ?? The only team with any success in the past 3-4 years are Celtic so do you want us to pay 8 million for players like they have just done.

SSN just visited Fir Park and spoke to Alan Burrows who confirmed Cedric has already tweeted about his move and the paper's are just about signed on the deal. Also Chris Cadden says he is fine for Sunday.

OK the new official website has been up and running for some time now. Anytime I log in on my kindle and go to latest news it keeps giving me details of the game at Stranraer. Is it just me or does anybody else find the new site s***e.

McHugh for me tonight. Every bail in front of him was his all night. No fancy dancing trying to play passes just clearing his lines and playing like he was before he was made captain. Cadden had his best game for a long time and Carson made sure he was keeping a clean sheet with some terrific stops. Salmon and Bowman also worked well together.

What's the team ?

Frear for his 3 goals and Alan Campbell for his usual 90 minutes perpetual motion.

Engurland expects and Walt Disney.

See the new improved official website is up and running. Seems reasonably good at first impression and quicker than the old version. One complaint can anybody tell me how to find the Well Lottery results as I don't seem able to find them.

? Team selection

?? Iniesta

Regarding the re-naming of the stadium. I would be careful what we wish for. The team across the M8 have linked up with a company who are always in the news for alleged money laundering ; forcing other small companies to the wall and links to some of the well known Glasgow crime families. I can live without that sort of investment

I think the cabling was done during the season.
