Pay your money at the gate and shout what you want for 90 mins. No need to be reasonable or rational about it. Then toddle off home and do what the wife tells you to do for a week until next Saturday when you can start shouting all over again. Aye some football supporters are crackers, maybe even most.

Maybe wind affected both half's yesterday . Sparrow was guilty of passing backwards from a forward position more than anyone in the second half. Thor should get a proper run out he rumbles up defences in the box and can hold up play should long ball be required. A windy day playing with the wind , as the second half yesterday, should have been perfect for him. Also maybe the team will be moving forward faster more once Preistman is back.

European results - played well opposition played a style that suited us and our style made us look good . Passing thru the middle. Scottish results - played neat stuff at the start. Then from the Falkirk game on the opposition tactics to stiffled our style , man mark and let us pass it about in our half never giving us space at all. Then take the chance we present to them . Is what the opposition are doing . He needs a plan for the Scottish game. Hopefully learns from his mistakes, Hammel never did . Still think we have good mix of players to play some decent stuff. In the right system once we settle down.

The other teams in Scotland have well sussed us now forcing us to play across , not forward . We seem happy to do it and the manager is not modifying our game enough to counteract that . Seem a bit leaderless on the park aswell. We are not direct enough in the box and too slow in crossing it into the box. Trying to keep passing our way into a packed defence and penalty box until we loose the ball suited Aberdeen and Dundee perfectly. Our goal came from an early cross in but we never persisted with them.Only when Thor came on did we actually cause problems in their box in the second half. Too late by then. Hopefully manager will be working on plan Bs for the next three weeks.

Tactics from the manager shite. Should have changed it second half playing with the wind instead side passing ,wee stupid backwards passing , Dundee like Aberdeen loved that . Maswanhise is shite BTW looking to fall at every opportunity. Doesn't look interested. Thor should have been on at start of second half

The manager must see something in Vogt, as he keeps playing him. With his back ground in developing young players I would go with him on this. Willy may just need some confidence fitness and game time to show what he's got. Remember what everyone said about Bair being useless at the start with us . I will go with what the manager thinks rather than a forum for now.

Hope we don't see that tactic from our manager again. Don't know what he was thinking there. Aberdeen couldn't believe their luck.
-
Ok then , I'm still waiting fir one . Let me know when you start. 🤔

The players we have signed and retained are not proven yet, mostly. If they all already had high levals consistency and proven ability we wouldn't have been able to sign them. We do need work with the team to get to a higher leval.

It's a full new team ,near enough, and new manager. This will take a while, months, to get a regular settled team ,that knows how to play with the new team mates and the manager to suss out other teams in the leauge. Then change his plan if things ain't working. We do need experiance on the park to settle things SOD should start. Also a starting striker on the park is a must, that first half trying to pass it in their box too may times made it easy for Aberdeen to stiffle . We need to be more direct in the box and take shots Thor is the man for that. Attacking line yesterday was poor. Aberdeen played the game perfectly and deserved to win. But we made it simple for them.

Too many north east buisnessmen involved with that club all wanting a say in how club is run. Burrows probably too nice for them, but he did oversee a cup win. Where to now flo.

Every game I witnessed when he was playing he was always out of position, off the ball never anticipating where the ball was going in the box and two yards short in the box ,he was truly woeful. Most of his goals were penaltys , that bad no one would buy him from us. Probably McArthur FC got Tesco vouchers to take him off our hands.
-
It's only a week n half off and I would think some of that the players will be resting up and recovering from knocks. I'm not expecting miracles from the manager in that space of time. Some tweeking will do fine. The main thing is we get rested.

Any thing like St Mirren would be a disaster it's the worse viewing and match day experiance In the league with St Johnstone second worst only because of a higher stand with slightly better view of the game. Fir Park has to be revamped . But history and tradition seem to take second place now with some . A new stadium will leave us with massive debt to pay off diverting money from the team budget. Better struggling to get tickets for a full Fir Park than playing in a half full new one. Supporting Motherwell most of my life for over 55years we won't be playing this type of football forever more seen it all before highs and lows . We need to keep our feet on the ground and be realistic . Revamp FP and keep the rest for a rainy day. New stadium will be a weight around our neck for decades to come.

Can I ask if there is any large project like building a new stadium, hospital , school, football ground in Scotland that has ever came in or under budget in the last 40 years. Feasibility studys usual find in favour of the general veiws of who is paying for it in the first place and can be very subjective.

Perfect summary of Scottish Football.
-
Overall AP was one of the worst signings we have paid for in a long time Always in the wrong place , 2 yards short, never really looked interested at all in his time here and permanently injured. Think he wanted away after two months here.

In over our heads and ideas above our station . Sorry but thats all i see .We are a provincial football club not property investors or property tycoons , or landlords or hotelliers depending on others to rent etc from us. It's Scotland, we are a wee club football club .There is global uncertainty and uncertainty in Scotland. Football is only a money maker if your a top club in European stages or English. We will need to cut our cloth to suit our financial limitations and geographical position ie 16 miles from the arse cheeks in a wee country of 4.5 million people. Most of whom are far from rich.

Kicked off the park for sure, SR teams are thugs. Hopefully a strong ref.

Cmon now. We have just finished a two month run of two games a week traveling all over Europe. In the process playing some outstanding football. Nearly a with a new team and new manager. Lost once in the league yesterday to a team with a massive budget and away from home . The team is knackerd Your concerrened ? Good grief some people are hard to please.😂 The team is doing exceptionally well and the way we are playing is so enjoyable it's unreal. We have signed well and sold well . Full houses at Fir Park, Enjoy it while it's happening .

Exactly this

Don't get tired or drop back after the first 30 mins , please.

I was watching this intently at the match and I never saw any squiggly lines, arrows or wee circles at all. Am I missing something or was I just to engrossed enjoying the skillful football and pinching myself that I was really watching my team Motherwell. COYW.

Far too fair . No room for fairness on here, thank you very much.
