I seriously considered watching this in the house and leaving my 4 season books on the sideboard...but fuck it, I'm as well watching us get pumped in the freezing cauld as I am in the comfort of my own house.

Just finished watching the highlights...fucking horrific. We gifted them 5 goals

This could be a fucking mauling

As for the element intent on causing bother? Batter in lads

Had the family round for dinner yesterday...but so nearly walked it to Hamilton to watch my team instead. A bit of clarity (The Mrs telling me to screw the nut actually), when it was whoring it down and my hangover was kicking fuck out of me, meant that I stayed put, with a few beers and a steak pie. Watching Soccer Saturday (or whatever it's called on a Thursday), I felt so sorry for the 1600 Motherwell fans who braved the elements, with no public transport, shelled out cash and were served up with an utter humiliation from a Club who really shouldn't be at our level. This season can't end quickly enough, there is not 1 single player who I'd be disappointed to see leave. Fucking miles out the lot of them and they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves today. The Club as a whole has had a helluva lot of turmoil this season...we'll be back though, but there is a huge rebuild required in The Summer

Get them all to fuck...ive never been embarrassed to be a Motherwell fan, but I am today. An utter, utter disgrace of a result. Rock fucking bottom

I've been steaming for 2 days, just about to stick the highlights on....wish me luck

The time to do that is in the Summer when players are easier to come by and we can shed umpteen of our squad for nowt...a blank canvas if you will. Not at Xmas, in what is effectively a dead-rubber of a season.

£250,000 to clear out deadwood that can be cleared out in 6months time anyway?? Even if we had that cash (which we don't), what purpose, gain or advantage would it give us. I'm astonished that anybody who knows anything about Motherwell, our finances and our new 'owners' thinks that we will be giving anybody a golden handshake to fuck off.

Somebody said Dan only has 6months to run? Got my fucking hopes up there. Hopefully Onthefringes is right though and we sign a keeper with 2 hands and one who fits into an XL top. On the more general point...we won't be relegated, I'm 100% sure of that! St Mirren and Ross County are way worse than us. So, it really depends on the level of our ambition this season....do we want to shell out cash on bring players in, and/or paying off contracts to deadwood in a futile attempt at Top6 or do we see the season out with what we have and regroup in the Summer??

Is this on BBC Alba? Going to a Hogmanay party, so going to be rough as fuck, also got the parents down for dinner on NYD, so highly unlikely that I'll get to the game

Hammell.....we've missed him all season. Today he offered us the balance at the back, better distribution than we've been used to on the left hand side and a wee bit of composure. O'Brien and McManus were good too, as was Lasley considering he was virtually our only midfielder.

Given the nick of our bench today, I'm positive Vigurs would have been on it had he been available

The useless cunt went off injured against County...so I'm assuming he is still injured unless Barraclough has already figured out that he is hopeless

Absolutely honking today, but I'll take results like that from now until the end of the season. Having Stevie Hammell back was a huge plus, but having 5 right backs on the pitch at the once was strange.

You're absolutely shite at trying to be a smart arse.....absolutely shite

They cannae even 'sell-out' when they give freebies away

I don't think anyone has singled Sutton out as our only problem Grew....along with probably another 5 or 6 others he's one of a group of players who I would get rid of at the 1st available opportunity and allow the manager the task of replacing him, granted when he's scoring he is doing his job for us, but when isn't he offers absolutely nothing.

His distribution was verging on hopeless, but as far as actual defending goes I went for O'Brien.

Surely we have that in Carswell and Lasley, but Vigurs is still totally ineffective...he dilly-dallies on the ball more often than not and creates hee-haw. I think most will disagree with me on Twardzik, but I want my goalkeeper to be commanding....he most certainly isn't.

Kenny Black is utterly clueless....I had a good feeling about the game today before it started, I thought we'd maybe see a couple of positive changes, but Black went with the same players and formation that has served us so poorly for the whole of this season. His substitutions had me utterly baffled as well, and we seemed to fall further and further back as the 2nd half wore on... Sutton - I've never been a huge fan of his, but you can't argue with his goal scoring ratio last season in particular - but the man can not play up front on his todd, he has no pace, no movement and very limited ability. Angol - I have no idea what this boy is, left back, left-mid....he's equally inept in both positions. Vigurs - what is the point in this guy? People keep telling me he's creative and shouldn't be expected to track back, but all I see is a lazy bastard who thinks he's better than he is, he creates very little as far as I can see Twardzik - I'll get it in the neck for this yin BUT....he won't come off his line, you can be the best shot-stopper on the planet, but if the defence have no confidence in you coming to take a cross, then they will defend deeper and deeper and deeper - which is ultimately what happened AGAIN this afternoon

Welcome Aboard Mr Baraclough....when I heard it was between Ian and van der Gaag, I was happy enough with either of them for different reasons. Going on that interview though, I'm very impressed by his energy and positiveness....the aim this season is to stay in this league with the players at his disposal, followed by a big rebuild in the Summer..... Best of luck to the new gaffer

I think The Infamous Wee Grafter will have a higher personal wealth than Les Hutchison if Baraclough is indeed the man

Mad rumour you say???? Fucking hell man....keep them to Yersel fae now on.....jeeeessssus
