Big Stall

I think it was pretty clear to most of us even by September that we had a diamond in our hands & he would be leaving sooner rather than later & wouldnt be due to us sacking him. Just got to enjoy it and hope we have a background team capable of sooking up his knowledge. The positive thing to note from that Slane/Ferry session is that even they see that the time will be coming where much bigger fish than celtic fancy Jens

Its a big If, because we are Motherwell & have no right to assume we will beat SPL teams, but IF...... we win these 2 games in hand thats 6 points bagged at a time only 1 of the old firm could collect 3 points. Ideally they draw & we make it 5 points on them both. IF that happens, the narrative changes because the table will show it loud and clear! IF......🤣

You forgot the bit about celtic fans convinced the gaffer will be at Parkhead by the summer

Lets face it, other way round and we would do the same. Made no difference to the result tho

How much can we afford to put ontop of JBAs contract? We wont be able to keep him but got to at least try

Full strength tonight. Ok faddinger out but for me id say priestman pretty much is as good as a starting 11. Get intae them motherwell!!

Cant argue with that. Solid facts and something we should be better at. Now do top 2 & top3 finishes.....

I hate to break it to you but getting beat, away at pittodrie is not some giant killing shock. In terms of questioning mentality, coming from.you 🤣

Pretty sure old firm fans have a fair claim to say its unnaceptable they havent rolled over the top of us every game this season. Its football pal, infact its sport. You win some you lose some. The match i watched lastnight, the team defo could not have been accused of not trying. Given why you had decided the outcome weeks ago, its unclear why you are so upset about it......

In the cold light of day it is what it is. We got done by a couple of red cards, one was a freak accident & the other a VAR fuck up. Even with the mass changes we were still the better team even when down to 9 men. The lads never stopped either and fought right to the end. Jens was pretty adamant after the game that we are looking to win every game from here on in. Personally dont think we are ready to have a cup keeper but in fairness to the lad aside from his 3rd minute kickout he didnt do alot wrong. Priestman is pretty much as good as a first 11 man. Longello doesnt get many games on the spin so no surprise there. I expected the striker to start after his showings. Gordon was enforced. RCC isnt my cup of tea but the manager seems to like him. Bad night at the office sadly

I thought it was a stick on we would start Thor tonight. Hes looked useful in his sub starts and we know JBA like to use the squad. That one was more predictable than the keeper. (For me anyway)

Thats what 3 , 4 or 5 times youv said that? Here fishy fishy.....

Red cards yes. The first one we cant blame our own doing. It was a slip by a player every one of us would trust to be put into the starting line up. Losing a man & goal so early to a slip is what set the tone. Our own doing however was not having the ability to draw even when Aberdeen went down to 10 men & then shooting ourselves in the foot.

0-5 statement win!

Looking at our form & team, considering one of the arse cheeks is going out in the next round& Hearts are already away, this game is massive. Whether MJC likes it or not, we are one of the best teams in the country. If we get through tonight we will rightly be installed as one of the favourites. There literally is no team in Scotland we should fear this season if we are on our game. The cup this year is such a huge opportunity! Dont blow it tonight motherwell!

This run of back to back games is good practice for our european group stages adventure next season

He doesnt have the technical abilities for our midfield surely?

Love Coyne. Still got my shirt with his name on the back. Got to add Biereth to the conversation though. We only got a few months out of him but he was so fast, aggresive, eye for goal, a technical skill set & clearly had a football brain a few levels above what we had on the pitch at the time. Honestly think he would suit this team perfectly

JBA will be gone at some point. We just have to enjoy it while it lasts. Whats happening is something special. Embrace it & enjoy it for what it is.

People are back because we are putting on entertaining football every week & winning most weeks. Its great to see. I expect that were we to somehow keep the manager & core of the squad - whilst continuing form & results, we would see attendances continue to grow next season.

Outstanding! Yea we didnt win but full credit to the lads we put everything into that game and a point was the least we deserved. Thought butland was their best player. We were the better team by any metric. Letting them sing for 85 minutes then shutting them right up was a nice touch! And i reckon Priestman is going to be some player next season!

Yep. And i want to be singing, "youv seen the 'well, now get tae fuck" after 85minutes

I think we all do. Well maybe not MJC but the rest of us would love it..... love it if we beat them

No fear. Whats worst that can happen? We get beat and the very long shot of winning the league is over. Im actually pumped for the game. Its not that often we play games that are big with something on the line. Exciting!

I think theres every chance of top3. First is a pipedream but lets enjoy it while we can. 2nd& 3rd are not far infront of us & we are currently playing better than both
