Ya Bezzer! Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 thats pish we also hadent played for a few weeks and the only reason ict didnt play on sat was there game was postponed Yeah but we played on Saturday and Inverness didn't. So we've played 2 games in 3 matches and Inverness have played 1. So obviously Inverness we going to have more in the tank than we would. It was a poor result but given the circumstances I'll let it ride, fitness won't be an excuse on Saturday because the players will have had 5 days to prepare.

nethertonwellfan Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 all im saying is we have only played one more game than them in the last few weeks so there shouldnt have been that much difference between both teams But we still played 2 days ago. They didn't. Not an excuse for me but you can't hide from the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan29 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Right, What? suppose i better rephrase that post we cant use the fact that ict havent played for a few weeks an excuse for losing tonight as have only played once this month just unfortunate it was on sat so really shouldnt be too much of a difference in fitness between both teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 "Always next year" my fucking hole. I can't say I'm surprised but it still pisses me off. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Motherwell should just withdraw from all cup competitions as our record is fucking embarrassing. Every single year we go out to entirely beatable opposition with a whimper. Every fucking year. That's ICT twice in recent times, Ayr Utd, Dundee, St Johnstone, St Mirren countless times. Every year bar 2003 and 1992 when we at least went out fighting our cup record since winning it is fucking shocking. That said, playing on a Monday and a Saturday is a joke.

nethertonwellfan Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Anyway I have the 1991 final on the noo. Alex McLeish and Ally McCoist in the studio for the build up. Psycho's goal never gets old fashioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah but we played on Saturday and Inverness didn't. So we've played 2 games in 3 matches and Inverness have played 1. So obviously Inverness we going to have more in the tank than we would. It was a poor result but given the circumstances I'll let it ride, fitness won't be an excuse on Saturday because the players will have had 5 days to prepare. AGREED. I love the cup but the omens were not good. ICT away on a Monday night after 2 postponements. Of course they would be fresher than us. Just heard from a mate on the road back down. We had approx 150-200 fans - lucky if there were more than 1500 at the match - no atmosphere - sounds like it was a training match. You know our players are used to a red hot atmosphere We would likely have gone to Killie with a big crowd and got papped out anyhoo - this way we have saved £30. OK I am clutching at straws but the league is our bread and butter. We are still in the mix for the top 6 and if two of the top 4 get to the final then 5th will get a place in Europe. We live in hope We now need to kick St Mirren in the goolies - they are LONG overdue a defeat at our hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, playing on a Monday and a Saturday is a joke. i know 2 games in 2 days isnt ideal (anyone notice both old firm teams get 2 full days between games ) but surely if we could run about a park playing for 5 6 hours every night when we where younger then growen men can do it twice for 90 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 That said, playing on a Monday and a Saturday is a joke. Or... maybe we had an advantage because we were match sharp? Given the time our players had off, playing on a saturday and a monday is no excuse for defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the original fixture went ahead how many fans do you think we would have had there compared to tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themighty Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Really disappointing! I said this at the weekend even after we won. I don't see the return of Lasley & Craigan to the first 11 as a positive move. I'm not blaming them for the defeat. I didn't see the game. It's just when I look at the line up I'm not filled with confidence. I had hoped for a few changes in Jan with a few heading out the door. Sadly I'm not so sure that's on the cards now. Same old same old. 4 -5 - 1 also seems a bit negative. Why didn't we stick to the same formation as Saturday? Just disappointed, especially when I think about the money a wee cup run would have brought in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Whit is it way the bastarding English brigade on here? Who gives a fuck ?

wellfan29 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 There's something called punctuation. You should use it sometime. this is a fans forum no a fuckin higher english exam get a grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the population of this shire don't speak proper English why should we care if people TYPE it or no ? Have you just decided to moan at anything and everything tonight? I don't think who ever pointed out the lack of punctuation is expecting folk to compose posts in the Queen's English and perfectly spell every word, but there's also no need to post a stream of conciousness that can be difficult to understand simply because you can't be arsed throwing in a comma or a full stop here and there.

GazzyB Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 We weren't the best tonight!! Humphrey did nothing at all, JOB showed glimpses of quality but no end ball. Giles Coke was decent I thought and Murphy did really well when he came on. We just couldn't break them down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the same if the guy posts an argument that is difficult to understand he becomes a laughing stock and his argument becomes null and void. His fault. The reason I moaned was I have had a couple of my own posts shown up for poor grammar or bad spelling. Is it really that important on a fitba forum ? And to answer your first question.....NO. I am in a stinker though i'll give you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Must've been about 2 to 300 or so, not too bad all things considered! Another thing, big Lucas took a knock early doors, after about 2 minutes, and was fucked. He stuck it out til about half time, but by about 60 minutes he could barely run. By about 80 minutes he could quite literally barely move, and still we left him on the park. Fair enough we had no subbies, but for fuck sake the guy couldn't even walk properly!
