underboyleheating Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Tough, tough game next Saturday. On their day both Motherwell or St.Johnstone have enough quality to make it through to the final. I’m hoping the same strength that got us a top six place will be enough to beat Stuart Cosgrove’s beloved team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkySuperSub Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Fuck it, I'm still confident... We will win by two goals... Let's do this!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 i think the pace of murphy and humphreys will be key for us if we can exploit the space on the hampden pitch then i think were in with a good shout of getting the right result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MearnsWell Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Can't believe I'm saying this, but... if ever a thread needed an MJC post, this is it. We never, ever win a game unless MJC predicts a defeat, fact. However, doesny necessarily fill me with confidence, can see a victory by the odd goal in a 2-1, or 1-0, in a nerve jangling, nail shredding match. Hopefully its gonny be us.....

Stu Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I just think people are building themselves up a little too much... There's nothing wrong with optimism and believing we will win. I'd rather that than believe we're going to be shite every game. However, I can't believe people think this is going to be a cakewalk. Pride comes before a fall.

coylealan Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Whenever I think we can win a game we don't and whenever I think we have no chance we get a positive result I think we'll win the Semi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 On paper, Motherwell should have no problems beating a St Johnstone who are struggling to score goals. I will not be in any way suprised if the game goes to a reply. However i think we will just edge past them. 2-1 'Well. Don't care who scores.

underboyleheating Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 The semi finals are played to a finish .Extra time and penalties if needed . It’s about time we went back to the old days when you played at least three replays to decide the winner. A time when the majority of players had second jobs working in the steelworks or down the coal mine. Footballers today, I ask you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 They only got rid of the semi replays a few years ago after the Hibs v Dunfermline shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Last time we played St Johnstone in a semi, i think, was in the League Cup in 1970. Result St Johnstone 2 0 Well. Let that be a warning. There's no reason for us to feel pessimistic but there's no place for overconfidence either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I seem to remember that big nosed chunt Henry Hall scored in the 1970 match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Anyone who is extemely confident has probably not been a Motherwell fan for very long. I have lost count of the amount of games where we were favourites (even slight favourites) and came away with nothing. St J have been struggling to score goals and have scored only as many as Hamilton this season at 18, which is half as many as we have scored - 36. Mind you this leads me to think they are likely to ping a couple in from 30 yards+ So I have no expectations other than the hope the team will play as well as they have been of late and if that happens we are in with a decent chance of getting to a Scottish cup final. This will be a long week......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Really looking forward to next Saturday now that yesterdays game is now out the way. Fully hope we can go there, play how we have in the recent few games and we should get the right result. St Johnstone aint going to be any kind of mugs so we will have to be at our best. Really hope the weather next weekend will turn out as good as this weekend has, as much claret and amber colours showing, good match and good party afterwards. Lets just hope all goes to plan for next weekend!! Mon the 'Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couttsy Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 -----------------Jeffers (if fit)----Sutton------------------------ Murphy--------Lasley--------Jennings-----------Humph Gunning--------Craigan-----Hutch-------------Ross (assuming saunders is out) ----------------------------Randy---------------------------------- No Stevie Hammell and no Tom Hately? I think they will both play instead of Ross & Gunning and apart from that you have it spot on, although he could play Ross at RB with Hately in midfield alongside Las & Jenno with Jeffers on the bench if hes not fit or if McCall wants to play it a little tighter.
