Sitting 2nd in the league going into 2014, unbelievable considering the money other teams have spent and the players we have lost!! Well done to the players and staff in 2013!! a few blips along the way but yet again we're punching well above our weight!! If this is "shocking stuff" as some posters put it, then i'll take this every day of the week. 'Mon The 'Well

I'd go with this as well, I actually think our Defence could be pretty decent given a run of games, I think Gunner is a good keeper who's not yet settled in, McManus and Hutch are good defenders and Ramsden is a way better fullback than Hateley!! Worry slightly about Hammy as his age is catching up with him but my god we've seen a lot worse defences than that watching Motherwell.

Really good win in difficult conditions at a ground where points are hard to come by. After a truly awful couple of weeks a good result to get us back on track!! Utd will finish 2nd as they are better than the rest, think we could fight for 3rd if we can get ourselves together.

Unbelievably Bad!! Up there with one of the worst performances/results i've witnessed in 40yrs!! Deservedly beaten by a bunch of part time players who worked their arses off. To be beaten shows a total lack of professionalism and hunger by the players to do well for themselves or the club, they should be ashamed of their performance today!! People are skint just now, coming up to xmas where the average guy in the stand has to fork out when they don't have it. I don't want to be disrespectful of anyone never mind our players but these guys cannot understand or comprehend how much they are earning, compared to the average hard working guy in the street and how fortunate they are to do something they supposedly love!! What I witnessed today were a bunch of players who do not love their job or profession. I wish they could get a dose of reality and get up in the morning and humph their arses to a dead end job without any plaudits or bonuses. A lot of them think they are so hard done to as well, happily mentioning to the press of them "taking a drop in wages" to come here etc etc , 80% of them would be very lucky to get a job in MacDonalds if it wasn't for their so called ability!! The Scottish Cup is our only real chance of proper glory in a season and a potential saviour of our club moneywise, peoples backsides should be getting properly booted over the next weeks or so......shocking stuff and a very bad day for our club!!

"Chance of a Lifetime for Pettigrew" Couldn't beat Arthur Montford for Drama, you can shove your Sky Sports polished announcers, that's proper commentary!! also, Bobby Graham, what a player, one of our finest!!

Pretty Rank game but its a good win and 3 points, years gone by we would be creaming ourselves with a win against Hibs. We've been so spoiled over the past 10yrs, that when we have a few dodgy performances, its like an assault on everyone who hasn't given their peak performance!! Yet again we've lost our best players at the start of the season (for the 5th year running) and we're sitting 2nd top after the first quarter. McCall, the club and the players deserve a fucking medal!! Get Real, bunch of moany James Hunt's!!

Honking performance today, No passmarks for anyone in my opinion. However, No point in slaughtering individuals when everyone was so poor!! Every team in the SPL are capable of this type of display, so best Putting it to bed and concentrating on Wednesday!!

Excellent performance by Nielson, long may his reign as No 1 continue!!

Would love to see big Neilson get his chance tomorrow in goal, he's a far better goalkeeper than Hollis and I think it's time he's brought in. Fair play to McCall for giving Hollis a chance but I think the Loyalty card he's been playing under has now expired!! His Superman impression at the first goal against Celtic should be the end. Neilson coming in could make our defence really solid this season..........purely my opinion!!

Think we should just save our money and cancel the charter flight!! Disappointing stuff but the better team won. Faster, sharper and better players!! Don't care what anyone says here but they were a decent team, look organised and will do ok in the Europa League sections when they get there. McFadden tried to do too much tonight, a few really good flashes but still looks off the pace, as did the majority of the team. Not their fault, the seasons not even started. Think we have a player in Vigurs tho, not scared to get on the ball and have a go. Cant watch Sutton up there himself......torture !!

Inspirational Stuff......Very Shanklyesque!! Maybe when the players and staff arrive for training tomorrow you could set yourself alight in front of them to make a statement!! We are Motherwell, a small provincial team with a small support and no real money.....we are not Barcelona!! We have been punching above our weight for years and sitting in the top half of the league with only 1 league defeat this season is pretty good going!! Time to get a fucking grip!!

Vic Davidson, Brian McLaughlin, Joe McBride, Paul Lambert Paul Slane......oops

Cos McCall's his daddys pal!! Its easy to see young Kerr is a much stronger full back so he needs to accomodate him somewhere or Attilla will shout at him!!

Not been to Ipox in years due to feeling dirty and ill whilst inside that midden but i feel i have to go to this one, the thought of us beating them and not being there is too much to bare!! This whole intimidation thing is total nonsense, if anything it'll be more funny than intimidating!! To us older fans who were stuck in the old east stand shed in the 80s with bile pelting us with pies, coins and spit from both sides it'll be a walk in the park!! Bring it On, what they going to do? Boo at us? oh the intimidation!!

Probably the most Un-Spanish team i've ever seen!! they were there for the taking tonight but a complete off night from our players (and manager) made it impossible....too many bad performances to mention, Randolph did well and maybe one or 2 others but just a stinkin night, thoroughly disappointing!! No Passion or fight!!

Definately count me in on a bit of that action!! Out of my hard earned wage doing a job i fuckin hate for an employer who are c*nts for which i support my Children, Mortgage, Bills,petrol costs, Childcare, season ticket, kids strips and a wife who spends money like a drunken sailor(with the looks to match) i'd love to financially support a journeyman player who doesnt particularly give 100% every week and doesnt really want to play for Motherwell and is just killing time til he signs for a League One team!! Sounds a great idea +1 for me!!

Champions Leage is a Mickey Mouse Trophy anyway!! Europa is where it's at

At least the BBC mentioned it, STV didnt utter a word on Wednesday nights program...not 1 word!! I was so disgusted i went on a rant to STV enquiries line, My long winded email was replied to today saying that "The reason we didn't cover it last night was that we didn't have access to any footage for the match and as far as we are aware it wasn't filmed. As such we felt from an editorial point of view that we couldn't cover the story. Ive once again written a pissed off response to this and i think i might have mentioned Rahman's Celtic Bias......ooops i'm getting a bit carried away!!

My apologies, i'll have to get my son to buy me the UEFA Guidlines manual 2011/12 version for my Christmas and brush up on the rules....sounds a crackin read!! Although it may be dangerous as it contains paper.......ooooo paper!!!

I'm an old codger who sits in the Main Stand and i'm usually the first to criticise Motherwell fans for being a pain in the arse but i thought the brigade in the east stand were fantastic last night and added to a great atmosphere, they didnt shut up all game and they are worth their weight in gold for the team!! Now lets get this straight, they threw paper on the park.....Paper?? why is there such a fuss? we were playing Greeks, they get scudded on a weekly basis with lighters, coins, flares and at times bricks..........Surely a few sheets of A4 Fullscrap is not something anyone should be concerned about? The only danger would be if the players lifted it up and got a nasty paper cut!! Hope all this fuss doesn't prevent these fans coming back as the club needs them!!

Delighted to see Law in the middle with Lasley, the talk of Hateley sitting in the midfield scared me!! Good overall performance, Humphrey excellent as was Law and the young boys did ok, Kerr looks a good young player and Hollis is a perfectly good 2nd keeper!! Couldnt really fault anyone today apart from Daley whos contribution is to moan and cry at everyone whilst flattering to decieve at the same time. Everton are a far better team than Panathaniakos so you just never know!!

Think we'll be scrapping it out in the bottom half this year but we're better than at least 4 other sides so we should be safe. A good run in both cups and not to be humiliated in Europe that is all

Results against Ayr are important, to get pumped 4-0 against a lower league team at the same stage of pre-season as us (i'm guessing they didnt go to the Algarve or wherever the f*k we went on on ours) is embarrassing!! i hope McCall goes through them!! Far too much Rangers mourning from our back room staff over the past few weeks...they need to get on with it, biggest game our clubs ever had coming up in a few weeks time, a result like this does not help in any form regardless of a friendly or not!!

We're going to have at least 2 full houses for the European games this season, that'll more than cover the alledged 10,000 honkin h*n tickets sold!! Send them down!! There shouldnt even be a vote, they are a defunct team!! Bye bye!!

Crackin team that was!! Always thought Bobby Russell didnt get the credit he deserved, got it in the neck from the boo boys time and time again!! Him and Cooper were great to watch together!! I still think that team along with the Dortmund Team were the best sides ive watched at 'Well !! Always a buzz going to the games as on our game we could beat anybody!! Happy Days!!
