fuck it.

From what I've seen of Accies this season they are not to bad from middle to front. Defence looks pretty woeful though so hopefully the pace of Humphry and Blackman can cause havoc. The absence of Murphy, Lasley and possibly Jennings makes me somehat nervous though. Mensing AGS.

I mind sitting in the South Stand in the Scottish Cup semi a few years back. Decent view obviously but the atmosphere was in stark contrast to what was being generated from behind the goals.

You sure? There was only around 4500 Motherwell fans there that night IIRC.

Pretty gutted with the draw. If we had drawn Celtic we would have had an outside chance. Sadly Rangers are streets ahead of everyone else in Scotland. Even if they don't perform particularly well on the day, they always churn out a result. When the time comes round though we will all believe. Particulary if Murphy and Humphry are on a hot streak.

Glad someone gave Houston pelters. It's disgusting that he and the rest of his mob are allowed anywhere near the national setup. I usually like to see the likes of Dundee Utd build a strong team in order to help challenge the old firm but the sooner Conway, S Robertson & Goodwillie get out of Tannadice the better.

Injury definately due to the way he landed. Probably wasn't the wisest decision to let him back on the park. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

See I thought I heard it was Sat, Sun this time round but I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere that it is 1st & 2nd of Feb. Would be magic if it was a weekend game. I imagine that would almost double our support. Either way, no January blues this year.

Ridiculous if that's the case.

Nobody looked particulary great but I was impressed with Reynolds. Jennings needs some help in midfield, Hateley struggles to get to grips with the game.

Delighted to be through. The game lacked quality but we plugged away and got a winner that we just about deserved. Hopefully have Lasley and Murphy back soon. Few bodies running on empty. A semi against Aberdeen at a packed Easter Road would be my preference. Am I right in thinking the semi's will be played Sat/Sun this time round?

Love the cup. 4-3 AET

My fear for tonight is that we will run out of steam. Difficult game to predict. Hopefully we can get off to a blistering start but bang in a few goals this time. Lasley will be a big miss.

Faddy is far more naturally gifted but he has been held back due to his lack of pace and awareness. If Murphy can build on his self belief, strength and stamina I just think he would be better placed to make a bigger impact on the Premiership than McFadden has. Look at Steven Fletcher during his 1st season in Premiership, is Murphy a million miles away from being as good as him? I don't think he is.

Murphy has far more potential than Faddy imo. If he continues to improve and show continued belief in his ability while building his strength and staminia, he will be ready to join the likes of McCarthy, McFadden, Adam, Dorrans and Fletcher in a year or so.

Agreed.

We haven't been too impressive at home so no point looking too far ahead. Inverness away looks like the most winnable of they games.

We don't have the mentality to go and get a result at Ibrox. How many years have Hammell, Lasley, Reynolds and good old Captain Craigan being going there now and still never got a result. Far cry from the 90s when we didn't have an inferiority complex when it came to playing the Old Firm. Why even bother getting excited about the League Cup? Should we progress against Dundee United, then it just tees us up to get pumped off Rangers or Celtic.

same old fucking shambles at Ibrox. Nae bottle.

Typical us

Been playing some really decent stuff and look dangerous when we get forward. Rangers will inevitably come out full pelt for the 2nd half. Lets hope we can continue to frustrate them by maintaining decent possession of the ball. C'mon Motherwell.

get fucking in there. 'Mon the 'Well

Got a daft feeling about today. For years we have fancied our changes going there due to Rangers bring on the slide. This season however the look like an accomplished side but if anyone can pull of a result for us it's Craig Brown. If Craigan has recovered from his International duty then we may have a wee chance. If we have a solid base, then we have enough in attack to cause bother. 'Mon the 'Well!

Rangers had well and truly took their foot off the pedal before we got two late goals. That won't happen when they are chasing points.

Bardsley had a great fucking game.
