Toulouse beaten 2-0 at home by Lyon tonight in their opening fixture. That Askou didn’t know how lucky he was at the ‘Well. they did play reasonably well right enough by all accounts.

Nobody will convince me Vogt is a player, out of all players mentioned above, Higdon, moult, Cowan etc etc ….. they’d all proved themselves prior to coming to us. I’d never boo any of our players though, absolutely never. I will however put my head in my hands and say nothing or mutter quietly to myself “for fks sake”!!! I would love it if he proved my initial take as wrong but I do see Willy moving on loan as soon as we get players back fit or another attacking player is added. and I think the players don’t rate him either…. The general looks and moaning at him when he’s on doesn’t fill me with our players having much confidence in him.

Even if we can pay a portion of his weekly earnings (a small portion) it should benefit him and also back in the Scotland shop window with the new manager. I’m sure he’s still only 25/26? as mentioned though, being injured so often has stalled his career. We don’t need another one in the treatment table.

I see Turnbull on the bench again today, didn’t come on as a sub last week either. Cardiff have bought a new midfielder for millions who plays in the same position. And he’s only had a few mins throughout pre season games. obviously we can’t buy him or afford his wages but surely a loan wouldn’t be out the question? Could be that midfielder to get us goals and create a bit in the final third.

All I saw was groups of Freiburg fans who consisted mainly of da’s wife’s and weans…. The guy at the front was in a wheelchair? If you saw them launching bottles fair enough but on the footage I saw everything on their pointed at well fans being the more aggressive. If it was mainly Freiburg fans causing issues tho I’m happier with that take.

Just watching some of the social media footage from last night. Looks like there was a bit of a skirmish in the town centre as a few of our Motherwell stone island throbbers took exception to the Freiburg fans march to the ground. Some of these wee tools are an embarrassment. hope this doesn’t have a negative impact on the Well fans going and doing the same in Freiburg.

Really pleased to see SODs back and when he came on his enthusiasm and energy sparked a bit of determination….. I also liked how the first thing he did was berate WV for standing on the touchline not moving and staring at the sky. And btw the players are getting fed up of WV as well, I saw a few shout at him with their arms out as if to say “wtf are you doing” as soon as players are fit he’ll be sent out on loan, guaranteed

I thought JGR was outstanding, him and Moorman were my picks (Moorman would have got it pre red card) and a mention to young JKL and Hodge, who I thought did very well.

Not long in and calmed down slightly…. Really gutted to lose that 3rd goal, but there was no disgrace in that tonight. Played a good side who are wise in winning European games. Players worked their arses off.

Hope it’s not the Bentley hotel….. I wouldn’t even wish that on Celtic fans

This boy looks a potential star. Certainly a coup if we can pick him up.

His grip on the language is extraordinary. It’s better than Jens and certainly a million times on from Wimmer. hes really clear as well with what is going on. I really like the guy and considering our horrific injury situation and the players leaving, he’s doing brilliant in my view. im over the whole league cup exit, i do get the annoyance from the fans to an extent but the whole “it’s so important and a chance to win a cup” stuff is the same every fkn year. We haven’t won that cup in over 75yrs…. What’s another year. I’m just not a fan of the Nancy cup anyway.

We have a full squad of first team players crocked. I’ve never seen it as bad in 50 years watching Motherwell.

Rumour going about that Sparrow broke a bone in his spine. how worse is this injury situation going to get.

Agree totally. itd be nice to keep the score respectable over the two legs and give a good account of ourselves both on and off the park. i do have hope that because Freiburg are at the end of their pre season they may take this game as a pre season friendly and we might catch them off guard at fir park but they are German at the end of the day… as professionals go, you don’t get better.
