All Activity

I thought he was much improved last night, probably a combination of not being played through the middle as he was in Helsinki and on Sunday, and also, as Ya Bezzer says, his fitness level is improving. He had one effort cutting in from the left (which the keeper turned away for a goal kick) and he got on the end of a through ball from Lowry which the keeper did well to block. A goal or two to give him some confidence and I'm hoping we will see someone close to last season's form.

There was still a guy next to me in east stand moaning in first half I dint know if its nerves but bloody he'll, give your head a wobble . Longelo was getting it for missing a chance in first half. I get they pay their money but nerves/ negativity transmit onto the park I moved for 2nd half and it all worked out

I think it is an average of anyone who votes on the BBC website. I suspect his granny gave him a 10 and no-one else voted, average vote then is 10. My advice would be treat it as you should all BBC reporting, eg ignore it. Given that the second word in the match report from the first leg was "Celtic" then they don't deserve our attention.

Alot of chat about resting players for this game. Last season the chat was how it appeared we did not take cup games seriously by playing weakened teams. We cant afford to take Stenny lightly they appear to have started their season well. Play our strongest team, win the game early if possible and then withdraw players for rest. Every game we play brings more understandings and relationships between players, which improves the team structure and unity. Something that improves our chances against an up comming top side.

Its gonna be some occasion this is the most excited ive been for a tie in all my time supporting the well. I never thought id see us get a big tie in europe like this i feel for me and my generation this will be our dortmund or nance started going in 2014/15 regularly

I think it could be a big problem for the club. 1st game of the season in the new seat and I was on Amazon looking for a cushion. It made the 1st European tie much more comfortable as others were complaining about space and being scratched by the plastic. In my mind thats why the club reduced ticket prices in the POD to match elsewhere. The POD stand was always considered to be a premium product but clearly not anymore. One slight change to this policy appears to be when we play the old firm tickets are £5 dearer than the other home stands. Probably to justify charging the away support more.

He's behind most of the team in terms of match fitness which is plainly evident. He's also a striker and needs an open play goal for the confidence boost.

We all love a wee stat. Motherwell have won more European matches in their last 4 matches than Rangers have in their last 15 matches.

Big away support for this cup game

Still buzzing!!, one of the best nights at Fir Park in the 49 years I have been attending matches. The feelgood factor is amazing and when you consider we lost 4 first team regulars plus Welsh on loan it's remarkable that most replacements have hit the ground running. Only Vogt has struggled a bit but the lad needs time to settle. Midfield is looking so strong now with Hodge arriving and Olly Whyte who I think could make a big impact. Maswanhise a concern as just not the same player. If he wants a move he aint exactly helping his chances but I feel if we can get a centre forward then he moves out wide which will suit him better. Ahhhhh happy Friday folks

There was also a through pass that split the centre backs and just eluded two players bursting in behind. Given time those attackers will know what he is capable of and react a split second earlier and so make the most of his vision.

His cross to pick out Maswanhise in the six yard box was outstanding. I know what you mean about the misplaced passes but, to be fair, they weren't necessarily the wrong pass. There was one that he played out to the right wing that would have taken out a couple of defenders but Johnny checked back rather than make the run. Went out for a throw, so looked like a bad pass. The players will get to know what he is capable of over the season.

Sounds a nightmare for folk in the POD just now. I can imagine when we start "STAND UP AND SING FOR MOTHERWELLLLLLLL", the response is........."We can't.......we're stuck!!"

A good travelling support seems to be building.

Yup , I have been really impressed with JGR, also slotted in easily at right back so another option there

Some night was up til 2am and delighted to say me and my friend are going to freiberg

There is a feeling that something great is being built, but we need to realise that it is very early days and could easily be derailed. We all need to stick by the team when we inevitably hit a bump in the road. Undoubtedly, there is an upward trajectory and it feels great, but it'll be a bit of a rollercoaster as we, hopefully, build something memorable, long-lasting and ultimately successful.

I would hope not, myriad reasons for the turnaround since we brought in Wimmer

Hilarious last night at end of game. Guy in front of me on stairs was carrying his seat and handed it into the Director's box on way out. From what I saw it was held in place by one giant screw which had come loose. Maybe we should all try that. Never got a chance to ask him what the reaction was.

Someone is going to have to have a wee word with AJ. This cautious, patient approach to signings is not the Motherwell way. Does he not know, that each season, we sign 15+ loan signings, who fall into one of three categories: signed while injured, injured during first appearance or injured during training session. This sensible approach is worrying ...

Said over on P&B, we seem a far more credible club now from top to bottom. Slowly eroding the 'plucky wee club' culture to become a more serious outfit. Is there any going back now?

So many great performances tonight. Special mention to Lowry, who really came good and put in tremendous effort. No doubting his commitment and attitude tonight, both were excellent. I realise that Said will take the plaudits for his game changing contributions, but for me Moorman is class. He completely controlled the backline and his passing through the lines is reminiscent of Watt. What a player he could be for us this season. Moorman for me.

Knees killing me after jumping up twice for two outstanding goals. Banging them on seat back in front , take that every game if we play like that. Should be a rule you don't leave til the passage way is clear. 🤣 Ok when every one has a t shirt on the now , but Jan and Feb when its two jackets and layers time will be a right laugh, passing each other. 😃
