Ya Bezzer!

Dylan Mackin got his third goal of the week this afternoon. And the Doomsdee Derby looks like it is on. That's all the positives for this afternoon.

Should pay attention to me!

I think I'm right in saying we've had 3 penalties awarded for us. Big difference.

He was never a regular and its unlikely he's going to displace Moult/McDonald and then there is Fletcher and if the rumours are anything to go by we are looking at other strikers to bring in. Players his age need to be playing football. I don't have anything against him being part of the squad next season, I'm thinking more of his own development.

I've said it before but even if Motherwell offer Craig Moore another deal he should move on. Just had a great season with Ayr United and he'll find a team and a first team spot easily in the Championship. If he is good enough to play at the top level he will eventually gravitate back up to the top league. No point sitting on a bench while your career passes you by for another year. If you haven't broken into the first team by the age of 20, 21 I think you need to move on. Hall and Cadden have done it. Moore hasn't. Good luck to the lad but I think it would be a waste of talent if he was kicking his heels for another 10 months.

Yeah that article is a joke. Dean Brill hasn't played a game this season so how the hell can he be in the Top 12! Danny Rodgers will almost certainly be ahead of Scott Brown next season at Aberdeen so why is he behind him in the list? Wes Foderingham is poor and probably won't be featuring next season for Rangers. Alan Mannus is 4th despite having a poor season and losing his place in the St. Johnstone team to young up and comer Zander Clark. Best keepers in the league this season where Jamie MacDonald, Tomas Cerny, Michael McGovern, Scott Fox and Scott Bain. First half of the season Danny Ward would have been in there but was recalled.

Was surprised to see Ferguson and Mackin as I thought they were on loan at Airdrie. In fact Mackin scored for Airdrie at the weekend unless I imagined it! Anyway, great to see a young Motherwell team triumph, they deserved it in the end. Thought we started slow though and Hearts were the better team until their keeper made a rick of a corner and then we went 1-0 up. After that we found our stride and I always felt we could score as we were too hot for them in the wide areas. Of course Motherwell being Motherwell we made it hard for ourselves with two poor goals to give away, a free kick right before half time and then a bit of a defensive blunder. Overall I thought we looked much more potent going forward than Hearts did. Robbie Leitch's goal looked a beauty from where I was sitting, will look forward to seeing that on the highlights. Falconer finished his chance well too. Silverwear, maybe the big team will follow suit in the near future and it will be interesting to see how these young players get on as well.

Will Sam Nicholson play? Doubt it if Souttar isn't. Liam Smith started on Saturday so I don't know if he will play again on Wednesday. Jordan McGhee will probably play, Dario Zanatta, who apparently is a decent player, as well. Gary Oliver is out on loan at Queen of the South (and scoring a few goals) so he won't be there.

They had a young boy at centre half making his debut, Michael Rose. Think we will see Ash Taylor coming back in.

What Dunfermline fans are these? Never heard anything but praise, not only from Dunfermline fans but from fans of his previous clubs. I've even heard some say he's been there best player since Stevie Crawford. Can play at right back as well. Two for one.

Andy Geggan.

Aberdeen have only lost once at home all season, and that's in league, domestic cups and three rounds of European ties - 1 defeat in 19 matches. St. Johnstone beat them back in October but they are the only team to win there in 2015/16. DIfficult to say what Aberdeen's psychology will be going into this game but on the face of it this is a tough tie.

I'd play Hall before Laing. I like the look of Hall but if he moves on, he moves on, although maybe someone should tell him the story of Paul Slane.

Must be a different one because it was Johnson tried to take on three men and lost it in the semi circle instead of playing a simple pass. I'm going deaf but I think my eyesight is still not bad! I thought Samson did very well today and was a big part of us getting a clean sheet. He was very calm, looked like an experienced player out there, kept the back four organised and with the exception of one cross did everything he had to do, including a pretty smart save and some tricky balls to feet. I think Ripley has been our best keeper since Randolph but Samson today looked like a guy that's been around the game and showed a calm authority that maybe Ripley has yet to learn. As for Lionel Ainsworth - he's just not been right this season. He looks 'down' somehow. Maybe it's a football matter but players also have all the same problems we do, so maybe it is a personal issue. On the other hand he might just be out of form. Whatever it is I was glad to see him score today and I hope he can get a few more before the end of the season.

I hope Hall stays but I bet if you looked at Louis Laing's wage slip and Ben Hall's there would be a pretty big gulf there even though Hall has shown himself to be a much better player this season.

Had to be someone from the back four today and I thought Hammell had a very good game.

With a better final touch we could have racked up a big score today. Just off the top of my head Moult and McDonald have both missed sitters and Johnson should have put McDonald (I think) clean through instead of being greedy. Thought Samson was very composed today, pretty solid at the back and we held up well to a physically strong Hearts team.

Samson gets a first start.

No idea, would have been running around the terrace not paying much attention. One of the first games I have a memory of was us beating Dundee Utd which was a big deal in those days. Also remember bottles and bricks flying during an 'ambush' at the underpass! Relatives took me to some games in the early 80's but I really caught the football bug from going to a U21 WC qualifier against Iceland at Fir Park. Our school took us to the match. After that I wanted to go to live games and I was just about to go to High School so my mum let me go to the football unsupervised by an adult. Not missed many home games since 1986.

Wee bit disappointing that our last two matches of the season are away but five games to clinch 4th.

Having see the highlight I thought McDonald was marginally offside for the goal so I don't think we have much complaint there. Celtic penalty was also a stonewaller and Ripley's howler looks even worse on TV than it did at the game.

They will spend money though and you can bet a couple of new centre halves are on the shopping list. As much as I would love to see them struggle I can't see them not being Top 6. I think the Hearts team that came up was stronger than this Rangers team and Hearts strengthened quite a bit so I think Rangers will be around 4th or 5th in the league.

We've also had Ross County twice so we should have two home games against St.Johnstone and Hearts but as we all know it doesn't always work out that way.

No reason we can't finish 4th now. The money would be welcome and remember if Celtic beat Rangers they will face Hibs or Dundee Utd in the final.

Tough one. I would have given it to Ripley if not for the blunder but it has cost us the match so I don't think I can give him my award. Going to go for McDonald. He was knackered in the last 10 or 15 minutes but he works so hard every match and scored our goal and perhaps should have had two.
