Big Stall

Thought i was on kerrydale st for a minute there.....

You could be right, but this mindset problem is not only limited to the players, some of our fans have it as well.....

Then theres hope for MJC yet...............

^ Aye, but that same arsehole had told us all Randolph had a pre-contract at Leeds and was off in Jan 2012. Basically the arsehole had as much credibility as MJC!

I actually expect us to win this game now, just to rub it right into us. And here is what you could have won had you held out in Aberdeen...... Seriously though, our league 'away' form has been good. Hibs are not any better than us. On our day we can have them no problem.

Hateley has been terrible the last 3 home games now.

So just to be clear, you hark back to Butchers days, you know the days he got us to one cup final, the one where we got royally humiliated off Rangers in. I'm really not sure how you can compare it favourably with McCalls cup run to the final. If I had the time or inclination, I would love to dredge through the archives of this board to find all the occasions where you have told us that we have no chance to beat either Rangers or Celtic in one off games, never mind finish above them in the league. Come to think of it, you continually tell us we have no chance to beat Aberdeen, Hearts, Dundee United etc, but you want us to beat Rangers over the course of the season! Your man Keevins in your avatar has a word for people like you....... Internet bampots!

^Got to agree with Dodge there, Hutchy did press forward into advanced positions to try and make it happen. At one point he was playing right wing and Humphrey took the ball off him to cross it miles to deep. Hutchy should have just done it himself. In injury time, he moved himself up to centre forward. It didnt do any good, but he was showing the sort of fight we need.

Butcher had his Motherwell team giving their all in every game. Would you rather be fannying about at the bottom of the league avoiding relegation on a technicality, or competing every season for European places? Also, should we get rid of McCall for finishing - Cup Final, 3rd, and now sitting 3rd in the league, do we turn into Chelsea and tell the new man his remit and the only way to continue in the job is to win the league??

Thought the first 15mins we looked really good. Springing attacks at Aberdeen from all areas of the park. Then it all went wrong. In the space of 4 days we have forgotten how to shoot. I think their keepers first save was on 78minutes. Not good enough Motherwell!! Maybe its just me, but i thought Higgy had a good game. Won the majority of balls to him and kept looking to link up play. As much as im an Ojamma fan, he wasnt at the races today& shouldv been hooked at half time. Hately was woeful for the 3rd home game on the spin& needs a rest or a boot in the baws Cummins may be one for the future but hes not ready now. Costs us at least a goal a game Hutchy had a few brain farts but showed some fight and kept trying to get involved further& further up the park. Lasley, Carswell& Murphy anonymous Humphrey had another decent game though Aberdeen were doubling up on him. Randolph, thank fuck we have him. Easy our MOTM, probably stopped it being 5-1! Pish and baltic!

Then why bother going??

^ Its fucking baltic tonight man! While I'll not complain if we go through on pens, I'd much rather we just stuff them 5-0 in normal time

MJC, Looking at 'all games' between the two sides over say the last 5 years, who would the statistics say are the better team/most likely to win??

Its Motherwell, at Fir Park, coming off the back of scoring 3 goals. Hate to sound like MJC but the chances are we will be shite. However, I would love us to finally hit top gear this season starting tomorrow night against this mob. Put 5 past them, get a good sing song going for Broon and their delluded fans who only a couple of weeks ago had threads on their own forums about winning the league!!

I've actually said a few times recently that big Randolph should be considered for regular penalty duties. Even if the opposition keeper got in the way of the ball, he would probably be in the back of the net with it. Im pretty sure there is a few examples of keepers in various parts of the world being the designated penalty taker.

Dont forget how bad Buzz was at kicking!

Cant say i agreed at the time, but i do think ZFA had a great game when he got on.

Pumped 5-0 Im afraid. Our history is littered with us getting beat off newly promoted sides we should be putting away.....

Noway we can afford him but i'de take Webster in a heart beat. Head and shoulders above Garry Kenneth. Theres a reason Dundee United made him (on loan at the time) their captain!

Sounds like he will fit in well at Fir Park then.

No idea about how good saunders would be, but you would think Devlins availability would influence mccalls thoughts on whether we need to keep Saunders. For the record i dont think we should get rid. In the little ive seen of him ive been more impressed with him than i have with cummins

And he used to play for Rangers, he needs to 'get tae' for that as well apparantly.

Has McCall ever talked about or advertised his 'extensive contacts'? I could be wrong but I can't remember it ever being mentioned. McGhee on the other hand........

In the last 5 years, which has arguably been our most successful and consistent since 1992-93, what proportion of games would you say you have predicted us to lose in? Then contrast that with how we have actually done. Once you have finished that task, feel free to get the fishing rod back out.

Love the quote from McCall on BBC. It would appear he actually does see the same things as the rest of us..... "Normally Chris hits it over the stand but he struck it sweetly and it was a fantastic goal - from their corner I think it was."
