Maybe MW didn't know what to expect from St Mirren. They're just doing what they're good at.
-
Seems like it now.

There's wrist breaks and wrist breaks. He's probably fallen on it. 8 weeks isn't unreasonable for a bad break. My wife had a very bad break a few years ago. Her wrist had broken into umpteen fragments and she required a metal plate and a bone graft. We won't see him again this season.

Yes. Celtic shot themselves in the foot. It was to be paid in installments, but Celtic announced the deal publicly before it was signed. We then went back to them and demanded it be paid 100% up front. We had them over a barrel and they knew it.

I'll be shocked, but in a pleasant way, if we reap anything like £10 m for young Miller. I think someone is at it, but not sure who. Still an auction can only benefit us and the lad himself. The more top class names mentioned the better. More choice for the lad and more cash for him and us.

Very touching video which shows the human side of being a footballer, which few fans get to see. Comes across as being a decent young man. He's certainly added something to the team since he's returned to the field. Good luck to him.

Unfortunately not as wee as I used to be. Need to cut out the pies!

Whilst this price deal is very welcome, let's not kid ourselves its being done for altruistic reasons. It's designed purely to boost the home crowd in the run in and thereby help their team to pick up much needed points. We're being included simply because we have to be.

Good post Clackscat. I detest both sides of the arsecheeks and have been abused by fans of both of them equally over the years. Neither set is worse or better than the other. That said, I have good friends who support both of them and are reasonable in their views. However much I detest them, that emotion doesn't come anywhere near matching my love for the Well.

An interesting article from the Herald on Jake Hastie https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/24973525.hastie-storming-start-rangers-stutter-ayr-revival/

You'd think not. Don't really want to go on about yesterday's man, but Brian Caldwell refused to answer a question about this at the AGM. I think that MW has now made his mark and is winning over the fans and probably the players after this result and performance. Not all of our managers can say they've won at Ibrox and this is only his 3rd game in charge.
-
I honestly think that SK simply ran out of ideas and it was time for him to part ways with our club. He showed no signs of being able to change things and was not getting the best out of the squad. Thats quite apart from a dearth of entertainment. From reading comments on the AGM, I suspect he was given some kind of pay off, but thats pure speculation on my part. We've now moved on and our immediate on field future is looking somewhat brighter. Long may it continue.

A great result today, which reflects well on our new management team and ther players. I still think we have the core of a decent team there. I haven't seen anything of the game so far but am looking forward to viewing it later. MW has done very well so far in a short space of time to get his fresh ideas across and the players have taken them on board. Far, far from the finished article but its a good start and we seem to turned over a new leaf. Not only are the results improving, so too is the entertainment value. Great to see our Viking and Tom Sparrow notch the all important goals. I did think our efforts on Wednesday would have emptied a few tanks but that doesn't appear to be the case. I just hope that we get the credit we deserve as opposed to Sevco being criticised but thats too much to hope for from our media. Credit to Sevco for organising an Armed Services day, but it appears they didn't involve our club or Society which was was a bit remiss of them. If I'm wrong I apologise. A great night to be a Well fan. Onwards and upwards. Success at Ibrox doesn't come too often so lets enjoy it.
-
I don't suppose Viewpark is that far from Motherwell but it is part of the Glasgow conurbation and within the draw of Sevco and Celtic. Good for you! I began going to Fir Park because my family did and we lived not far from Fir Park in Parkhead Street. Only ever one team for me.
-
What an interesting post. If you don't mind me asking, where were you brought up?
-
I've not been a big fan of Moses, pigeon holing him as a penalty box striker end of. However I thought he looked a more complete player last night and caused Dundee considerable angst outside their box. That said, he came on as a sub against a tiring and somewhat sub standard Dundee defence.
-
Dundee fans are far from happy today. I'll go against the flow and say right now they are the poorest of the bottom 6 clubs. They also have a few injuries. Ross County are a far better side and St Johnstone are a very solid and workmanlike side.
-
I think the top 6 and bottom 6 are what they will be at the split. Can't see St Johnstone finishing bottom.

Very encouraging last night. A 6 pointer and we won it with some style. Not getting carried away though as one swallow and all that. A real team effort and good to see the likes of Halliday and O'Donnell play well too. I wasn't encouraged by the pre match line up but that proved to be unfounded and in the first half we played well on the ground with pace, passing and some nice football. I thought Lennon Miller was at his best, and in a more advanced role, although not 100% fit. Our Viking up front put in a real shift, although he's not a goalscorer. The football on offer was exciting and the fans responded to that. We could have been out of sight by HT but it was what it was. One point of concern was the ease that Dundee got down our flanks but that can be worked on. A high intensity first 45. We were always going to run out of gas in the second period and Dundee changed their set up to some effect. We were under the cosh for a large part of the second half and it was no surprise that Dundee drew one back. As Weeyin says it will take the squad months to up fitness levels and MW will be well aware of that. Perhaps our substitutions were a tad late but maybe that was more down to match officials. I thought Moses and Harry Paton did well when they entered the fray, with their fresh legs. It speaks volumes for the team to come back and score the winner after losing a late goal. Both sides claimed for penalties but neither was given, ours without even a VAR check. I thought Dan Casey's power of recovery was impressive not to say surprising after being out injured for a spell. The fans rightly applauded the team afterwards and stayed on to show their support. It just goes to show what a bit effort and positive attitude on the field can do. The atmosphere was far better last night than it has been for months. Onwards and Upwards.

Fair point. Apologies Wellfan91, I edited my post after you uploaded yours.
-
If the Dundee Courier is to be believed, the Dark Blues will be without Seb Palmer-Houlden, Antonio Portales and Clark Robertson, Scott Fraser and Billy Koumetio. It'll be interesting to see if Jordan McGhee features tonight.
-
If Michael Wimmer can transform our style of play, if only gradually, and improve results at the same time, then that could rejuvenate the supports' interest. Hopefully a decent crowd tonight for a midweek game.

I'm just waiting on the Philippe Clement media tour starting. Got my flask and sandwiches in front of the PC now.
-
I'm assuming he signed an NDA whereas SK did not, given that there would be no financial settlement.

Round and round and round and round........a great solution if your an insomniac. Makes Alexanderball look positively riveting.
