MelvinBragg Posted August 17, 2024 Report Share Posted August 17, 2024 Just a question.. In the group stages, games go straight to penalties. Does the same apply tomorrow in the case of a draw or are we back to thirty minutes extra time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 Extra Time today if level at 90 mins, it’s only the group stages that goes straight to penalties. Expect it to go all the way today with the boot in the balls at the end with a penalty shootout loss to ensure maximum agony for us. Apart from us being weak as piss up front and unable to score goals, these types of games are usually the type that Motherwell just do not win….a Cup game against a Premiership side. Our record in such ties is dismal and I think our Scottish Cup 5th Round win over Aberdeen a few years back is our only win against a top flight side in our last TEN. It does not bode well for today. And on a separate note, can Tony Watt actually play for us today? As in it is known 100% that if we do select him we aren’t breaking any Cup tied rules??

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 This isn't a football match It's a science experiment entitled 'What happens in a footballing vacuum'. And the answer is of course, absolutely fuck all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 Stuparevic's goal against Clyde was the last time a Motherwell player scored. We are rank rotten and relying on Halliday, McGinn and O'Donnell to make forward runs. Robinson is Bob McHugh standard and is never a player at this level. We got our business done early though..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can just improve a little and add some threat up front it will be a good season. Hopefully when we get SK’s first choice selections available we will look much better but going by the quoted length of injury recovery times we can’t afford to wait for that moment in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Dundee clubs, St.Mirren and Killie are better than we are. And then of course you’ve got the bigger clubs like Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs. We are a poor, poor side with a manager who is out of his depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 The club know our support is full of tinks that throw their litter on the park every week so why not have someone out there to pick it up. It looks terrible with the players having to deal with all the shite lying on the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen scraped by QP with stoppage time goal. Hearts got beat by falkirk, hibs are struggling. The only one I’d say is Dundee. They seem to be able to score goals just now. But agree that we are a poor side at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
