Does the highest bidder get to play right wing back against St Johnstone ?

Genuine question. If the three centre backs can't restrict chances given to the opposition from balls into the box, why is picking two out of the same three to do that very job a 'no brainer' ?

Has Kaleta's period on the sidelines made him a competent RWB then ? He was gash before he got injured (apart from about 20 mins early in the season). I keep seeing people saying SOD gets caught on the wrong side of his man a lot. Kaleta used to get caught in the wrong half a lot, not chasing and just wondering back or giving up the chase after a few steps.

Miller's passing has been diabolical today.

Tavares.....FFS

Is this the day for the start of the 'Wimmer Out' thread ??? 😂

Same back 5, Halliday, Slattery and Miller in midfield, Maswanhise and Watt up front.

Possibly. Wimmer got a good half out of them against Dundee and 40 good minutes against The h**s and that's been it. The rest of the time we've been dire. Kettlewell got results out of us for the first quarter of the season and Wimmer has managed about 80 mins of decent football since he came in. With the right players playing (i.e. including McGinn and Slattery) we're a half decent team by PL standards when the players decide to do what they're told. When they run about aimlessly as individuals, we get pumped. Barring two short spells in games, we've been just as guff under Wimmer as we were under Kettlewell.

The first couple of games under Wimmer (if you exclude united cause he hadn't been there long enough) we played a higher press and played some bits of decent football, particularly against Rangers. We had flashes against St Midden but nowhere near as much good football and high press. That shows the players are capable of doing it at times or when properly motivated. So, the question is, is Wimmer asking the players to approach the game differently the last two games or are they just not doing what he's asking them to do (something Kettlewell also said).

A wee trip to 'Surfshark' is a lot easier..

Anyone who wanted this absolute clown back is borderline insane. His brother in law was a decent player, to be fair, but his brother was gash and should never have worn a Motherwell shirt. He also had Tommy Sheridan training with us. WTF was that all about ? The club became a plaything for him and his pals, using a naïve lunatic's money.

A number of managers have clearly rated O'Donnell..........so either a lot of fans don't really know much, or our last few managers have been shite. That didn't come out looking as good as I thought it might 😂

Agreed, but I thought Oh'Lasagne should have got booked for the push on Gordon that resulted in him getting clattered by Balcombe. Was soft when it came, but overdue.

We never win after a break.....

Year bfore me . Was that the Amber strip with the Claret trim and the cursive MFC instead of the badge ?

The diagonal stripe kit from around 75/76 is still my favourite (still go the one I got for my 12th Birthday) and the Munchegladbach style one we wore in the 75/76 semi was always one I loved.

Genuine excitement for this today. Will we play a better practiced way of the way we played Dundee and The h**s ? Will a couple of extra weeks with the players change the approach or line up dramatically ? Will Dan Casey score a hat trick (or give away another daft one) ? Will we rip them to shreds and score 5 ? Will we be gash, get pumped and start a Wimmer Out thread ? Are we on the verge of becoming 80's Aberdeen and conquering Europe ? The possibilities are endless 🙂

Not old enough to have seen the 1873 one obviously 🙂 My first international was a Home International against Wales in 1972 (aged 9 or 10). The SFA Centenery game was in '73 I think. Willie Ormond's first game in charge. We lost 0-5.

Hope Miller gets some minutes. This will be my first international since the early 80s 😊 My old age got brought home to me about 18 months ago, when someone brought an SFA 150th anniversary shirt in to my shop get framed. I thought, fuck me, I was at the centenary game ! Versus England, played in the snow, orange ball and a full on proper pumping it was too !

They could easily have buried us in the first half, but despite all the pressure and chances, they never got more than a goal ahead. I was right behind the goals, quite low down and I couldn't see Dougie at the second goal. A good ball played in and the next thing, the ball was nestling in the back of the net. Absolute scenes. Psycho's goal was just out of this world. I said to my old man at the time and watching it back confirms this. When that goal went in, if you look at the Celtic players, it looks like someone has run round and stuck a pin in them all. They all just instantly deflated. Kirkie's goal was the icing on the icing. I remember at the time that it seemed to take an age for the ref to actually give it, but watching it back, it's only 2 or 3 seconds. Those last few mins, knowing that the game was in the bag are the best feeling i've ever had as a football fan. Even my old man, who was quite elderly at the time, was bouncing up and down, singing and hugging random cunts ! What a feeling that was !

This. I was confident we would beat them in the first semi, but was convinced we were in for a bad night on the second one. That night, as anyone who was there will remember was on pishy horrible wet night. I got held up at work, then just after picking the mrs up, some dick ran into me, puncturing a tyre, which I had to change (in a suit) in the pishing rain. Went to pick my old man up to take him and he didn't want to go. Finally persuaded him and got in just before kick off, as as most will remember the first 5/10 mins was a fucking nightmare. I was in a foul mood and could cheerfully have left when they scored their second. Glad I stayed though. Have to say, that was one of the best nights ever at the footie. I enjoyed that more than the final, which was just toooooo tense. I'd seen us lose multiple semis, starting with the '75/6 debacle with Rangers. To finally see us win at Hampden against either of the arse cheeks was a 'Well fans dream come true.

I'm struggling to find the post where people said anything to the contrary.

Oh, completely forgot about that. A wee trial 'in' Greenock rather than a trial 'for'..... My mate sent a picture and I'm still trying to find out how he even knew who KVV was, given that he knows so little about football, i'd be surprised if he could name a team, never mind a player.

KVV in LidL in Greeock of all places today. Maybe a wee trial for Morton ?

Was first three for Kettlewell was it not ? The players were bought into what he was doing for the remainder of the season he took over. Didn't go wrong till a bit after that. You could probably argue that they bought in for the first round of games this season. Wimmer's influence on the team so far has been remarkable and he gets a standing ovation from me for it ! But i'm always nervous about getting too excited just because I know that the vast majority of managers of most teams meet an acrimonious end at some point 🙂 Lets just hope the Wimmer revolution lasts a bit longer.
