What a desperate game, 2 teams that dont look very good and both look knackered!! I hate harping on about Craigan but we always look like we'll lose goals with him playing, he's been all over the place, he let Maloney in for his 1st chance and his positioning and distribution is dire!! And i wish i had a wee clicky thing to check how many times he balloons the ball out of play, every f*king game, no-one near him yet he pings it right into the crowd...it would be laughable if it wasn't so annoying!!

Why the Fuck is Blackman not playing? and Sutton is in!! sutton never scores against better teams!! Blackman has pace and can damage that defence, he was unfortunate with his chances the other night!! i think Brown's hogging our midfield and it'll be a negative performance!! we should be having a go at Celtic today!!

Excellent!! But Dont even get me started on KevinTwaddle!!

haha, this is only my opinion!! and i've never been near anyones crack pipe!!!

Randolph was at fault with the 1st goal, inswinging crosses into the box he cant deal with!! Rooted to his goal line!! Craigan is way too slow and his distribution is god awful........How bad are Northern Irish centre halfs if he's still their top choice!! 2nd goal was embarrassing!! Midfield needs fixed badly, way too slow!! ok Humphreys is quick but so is usain bolt, i'm guessing he cant cross a ball either!! Lasley.....too slow, no vision...tries hard tho Jennings........too slow, creates nothing!! Hateley.....been to the gym too much, has got slower!! plus side, we're still in the tie, and odense aren't that good apart from djemba dude and utaka who will cause us problems due to our frailties above!!

jennings has been shit anyway...created nothing all night and was a yard slow for everything!!

Craigan looked like a pensioner there!! pish!! 2 defensive errors!!! very poor as they aren't any better than us!!

What's happened to him? I know he had a bad injury last season but as far as i'm aware he's over it now and fully recovered. Does Craig Brown not rate him? When he broke through last year he was immense, in my 30yrs of watching Motherwell i haven't seen as much potential in any young defender we've had!! that's including the Likes of Boyd, McCart, Wishart, McMillan etc. I really hope the lad gets back in the 1st team cos in my opinion he was a class act, and way better than the likes of Craigan.

If we weren't good enough to qualify off our own backs we dont deserve to be in the Europa Cup. Hope County Stuff 'em!! Hate United!!

Alan Irvine (Sheffield Wed) sitting next to Reynolds Dad in the Main Stand last night!! Surely he'd go somewhere at least at Championship Level?

i know it was a national final, delighted to get there etc, but it goes down as my most deflating day supporting Motherwell!!! To perform the way we did in a final against an average h*n team was horrendous!! Also we had a squad of young h**s pissed in front of us who the polis wouldn't eject!! terrible day!!

Really disappointed he's left, i felt he was a breath of fresh air for our club, someone who wasn't afraid to bed in young players, didn't take any crap from the media or referees. And did his own thing when it came to the team....what a proper manager should be like!! i for one wasn't arsed how he supposedly treated established players, most of them weren't that great anyway and their better days were behind them!!(craigan/Lasley/Mcgarry etc etc etc) i think he will become a very good manager and it's a shame we'll not see it at Fir Park. Lets hope the young players aren't affected too much and still get their chance, he's brought in Forbes,McHugh, Hutchy and Slane albeit not often due to his injuries!! i doubt any other manager would've gave them a chance!! i for one wish Gannon all the best, his single minded honest approach was far too much for some people to deal with, especially in our "dont like to rock the boat" country!!

Thanks mate, nice one!

i cant make it today and i dont have access to sky, does anyone know if you can watch this on the web? I'm sure there's an Al-Queda TV station or something!! Dont know if Bin Laden is commentating tho!! any links or help appreciated!!

Craigan Dropped!!! not even on bench.....Good shout i think!!

Embarrassing stuff!! i think Mcghee was deserved of getting abuse, as someone put earlier, he has acted like a prostitute and mercenary...however paedo and f****n i find an utter disgrace.....if anything f****n is worse to me as it is a chant that belongs on the terraces of Ibrox. I have supported Motherwell all my life along with my father and brothers and i am a catholic as is my son (who is also Motherwell daft) and i detest both Rangers and Celtic!! I believe 90% of our fans are great and support our club exemplary but there is an element of our support that does have the "h*n without the bus fare" tag, which infuriates me!! i myself have also been told that i'm a h*n!! i just laugh it off but with reports of this at aberdeen we are just setting ourselves up to deserve this tag!! i do think year after year this sectarian element is dying out at Fir Park, not quick enough tho in my opinion!! We have started the season off brilliantly and we have a manager who is better in my opinion than McGhee!! Can we not just get behind the team & club and leave the sectarian crap to the old firm!!

have to say that song sucks baws!! i dont mind if they play any song when we score even that one, but blasting it out at the start when the players come on to the park is " a rid neck" Get a Stone Roses track.....This is the One......now that'd be the baws!!

Hutchinson for me although i did think O'Brien was excellent today as well, tough call!! i've watched Motherwell for nearly 30 yrs and i cant remember seeing such potential in a young defender, i think he could be exceptional!! Hard , good in the air, a good footballer and how many centre halfs do you see finish like today....class act!!

i actually played against Roddie a few times when he was at Aberdeen in BP games etc and he was a great young player, he just didn't develop. he was so f*kin fast you would not believe, and a decent crosser and finisher!! its funny how much fans slate players but dont realise that to get to play at that grade and become a professional you have to be talented. Remember it would have been Alex Ferguson who'd have signed him as a boy at Aberdeen.....he must have seen ability in him, and i'm guessing he'll know a tad more about the game than most of us!! anyway.....Roddie WAS shite for us!!

This rule was brought in i'm sure due to idiot supporters who take offence at players celebrations, and scream at police to arrest them for inciting trouble!! total bolloks!! same with opposing players shouting at our crowd or giving us the V sign or something, i just find that funny!! i for one am not arsed if opposing teams celebrate, it does p1ss you off but deal with it, if our playeres do it then whats the problem!! PC gone mad

You gotta love big Hutchi's Celebration!! thats how you want to see our players carry on after they score......bookings for that are a farce!! Legend in the making!!!

A Real class act as a player, he was one of my heros as a kid. i'll never forget the cup game against Aberdeen at fir park when we were in the 1st Division and Aberdeen were one of the best teams in Britain, we got beat 1-0 with a goal scored after 9 seconds and Brian McLaughlin was excellent, but got sent off due to that cheating wee wean Strachan..........i do recall McLaughlin did knock him about 12 foot in the air tho!! RIP Brian, always remembered fondly by Motherwell fans.Legend

its' got to be Davie Hay. Season 81/82 was unbelievable, we pished almost every game!! Great team, brilliant season!!

I'm not a huge fan of Quinn either but i can see why bigger clubs were looking at him, i think Quinn has more raw potential than Reynolds (as a defender) as he is naturally quite hard and isn't afraid to dig, that along with his height, the fact he is ok in the air, reasonably fast, i can see him becoming a good defender with proper coaching, as long as he loses the ned in him!! I dont want to get too down on Reynolds cos i think he seems a decent lad, i'm just not sure of him as a player. The fact Gannon hasn't made any great noises about him either is not a good sign, i think if a bid comes in he'll be off!!

Looking for honest views on Mark Reynolds!! Now i like the fact he's a local lad, motherwell fan etc etc therefore he'll never really get that hard a time off me.....however, totally contradicting myself here, i think he is possibly the most overrated defender in the country, ok he's athletic, reasonably quick....but he cant tackle, cant head the ball, charges up the park aimlessly continually giving the ball away and is out of position a lot!! and when he plays against "proper forwards" he never shines and looks totally out his depth.(i also thought he was at fault more than Hutchison at the headed goal against Steau) i'm not sure he could even cope as a full back and i doubt if he could be a midfielder.....i cant help think Gannon thinks he's not a central defender either!! Now he keeps mentioning in papers interviews that his goal is to play in the premiership, i cant blame him for that, but i dont think he's anywhere near that standard. i think we bombed when we didnt accept £1m from the h**s for him!! or am i being harsh and talking shite?? i know what loads of you are like so i'm preparing for the "f**k off you're talking shite" ha, but there you go...devil may care!!
