Good income for Dundee but that will take a significant chunk off our support.

Assumed injuries had got the better of him. If he can prove his fitness, he would be a more than competent addition to the majority of squads in the SPL.

Good on Refsif they go ahead with this. Recent grief has been out of order.

Swap Gow for Sutton and I'd be quite happy with that team. I'm a fan of Gow but reckon we would benefit from Sutton's presence on Saturday. Bring Gow on to run at them once they begin to tire. Lalsey can't be far away from a comeback eh?

Was trying to think of let backs last night. Crainey didn't do much rong but he has never really impressed me. What's happened to Brian Easton? Thought he looked very accomplished when Hamilton first came up to the SPL.

Probably my favourite days following Motherwell. Absolutely loved that era.

Ignoring the farcical circumstances surrounding this game and thinking about the Motherwell players discussed: Jamie Murphy - His time will come. Assuming he continues to improve and build his strength, he has a very bright future ahead of him. Humphrey - Ivan Sproule type player. Doubt he could ever cut it at International level but will do very nicely for Motherwell. Relatively speaking, Scotland are well off for attack minded players at the moment anyway. Reynolds - has the attributes to at least have the opportunity to prove himself at International level. He strikes me as the type of the player that would improve with better players around him and would relish the big stage. Hammell - Fantastic servant for Motherwell but should have done so much more with his career. At one point he looked like he may be a natural successor to Gary Naysmith but sadly lost his way during his 1st spell at FP. Saunders - great young prospect. Look forward to seeing him playing for the Under 21s and we will see how his career progresses. Given that we have a severe shortage of centre halves at our disposal, he must fancy his chances of one day becoming a Scotland regular. At the same time though, there is always the chance he could go the same way as Willie K.

I imagine Saunders is a tad embarrased by this call-up. For the sake of his own career, I hope he is left on the bench.

Words fail me.

While I appreciate Brown's position as an ex-Scotland manager, I think he will be doing Mark Reynolds and the club a disservice if he doesn't speak out this week.

Did the whistle go early? Mark Brown seemed to be beaten by a rather tame effort from Saunders.

Nervy at the back today and lacked any cohesion going forward. Don't think you can get away with playing a 2 man midfield every week, particularly when the opposition are doubling up on our wide men. Not a great day for the Ref, Craigan or Brown. Important spell coming up between now and Christmas that will more than likely shape our season.

Reynolds Good shifts from Blackman and Hammell.

I presume you can pay at the gate?

If Murphy has a decent game on Saturday he will end up in the squad and deservedly so. Humphrey, plenty ahead of him in the queue. Mark Reynolds, Levein clearly doesn't rate him just like many folk on here. For me, he could easily impress for Scotland.

Aye, good old excuse to save opening a stand.

Jeez, McDonalds has been there longer than I would have guessed.

Feel like St Johnstone have humped us more often than not at Fir Park over the years. However they have been struggling a fair bit recently in the absence of Jody Morris. Is he still out? Would be tremendous if we could go to Easter Road on Saturday 14 points ahead of them. Seems too good to be true.

Funny I was googling him yesterday to see where he was training. Bit of an arse but if he is willing to apply himself, he offers ability in an are where we have heehaw.

Yes. Sadly when he was here though he was rarely used in the centre of midfield.

Wasn't at the game on Saturday but this type of result has always been coming. Indeed, i couldn't quite understand the pre-match confidence on here as we were far from impressive against Dundee Utd during the week. Brown has got us set up well and we are working our socks off but I've been saying since pre-season, we lack quality in midfield. Last season we got away with it because Jutkiewicz was sublime holding the ball upfront, this season we have partially got away with it due to the outlets offered by the pace and directness of Humphrey and Murphy. We will do fine this season given the lack of quality throughout the league but results like Saturday will be part and parcel of the season. I just hope we can raise our game against Rangers/Celtic to make it a half decent season.

Accies are no mugs. Absence of Lasley and Murphy is telling.

Few close things by the sounds of it but Sutton has been stuck out wide left and it just sounds like one of these days. Wouldn't be surprised if Accies nabbed a 2nd on the break.

Sutton on at last.
