Never thought of that......wunderbar!!!

A positive balance sheet allows us to invest in the team and infrastructure in a way that a league Cup trophy never will

Why?? let’s be honest it would be a huge result to beat Freiburg but not surprising to beat a team from Faroe Islands or Finland ur bang on with regards to getting the right players in but were terrible attacking wise just now, should have been identified by now reckon the boy hodges on paper looks a decent signing, tidy enough at points today but if we’re spending money for me there’s other areas that are much more important hopefully today identified it needs addressed, it’s another year of getting knocked out the cup when we should be doing better so the frustrations real 😂

The injury situation is quite ridiculous.

I would rather wait until we get the right players that fit the system. Unfortunately we've been dealt a really bad injury list too which has meant we have had to throw in young guys who aren't really ready yet. I'm sure AJ knows they aren't ready yet but he can hardly come out and say this in public when he knows he has to rely on them in order to rest the first eleven when he needs to. If the rumours about Priestman being out for a while too are right then thats another hammer blow but may have been due to how many games hes had to play so early in the season.

As I've said i don't support Motherwell to look at the balance sheet. You are right no one knows how games would pan out but Id still rather be in with a chance of winning some silverware than getting papped out of Europe by Freiburg... so shoot me because the balance sheet is not what I prioritise over possible silverware.

What if the choice was £1.2 million from 3 rounds in Europe or losing a League Cup quarter-final to Hearts? There are a lot of people assuming we'll definitely lose to Freiburg, but we would have had a real chance to win the League Cup. It doesn't always work that way.

The next two Thursdays are probably a bit of a surprise.

Yes it would, we have a massive game on the horizon...players have been run into the ground in certain positions, while others have only just returned from injury and their load needs managed

whats happened over the last 18 months would not be affected in anyway shape or form by us treating the League Cup more seriously today.

Artificial playing surfaces have no place in professional football and the clubs who have them are lower league part-time semi-professional. I think the Scottish League and the SFA need to have a complete re-think on their use in cup competitions. If a team with such a pitch is drawn at home they should have two options: 1. Find an alternative venue with a grass pitch; or 2. Forfeit home advantage. If the latter, they could be compensated financially by the home team, say based upon their average home gate.

The club is in the best place its ever been...Id take everything thats happened over the past 18months or so, over winning the league cup, without question

How much for maswanise now?

The German sense of humour is pish , so you could probably get a gig over to help you with your fare.🤣

It’s not scapegoating youngsters to say there not ready for this level…. reality is defensively we’re very decent & attack we’re terrible how is it stenhousemuir are able to pass the ball with a purpose but we’re passing the ball for the sake of it with no intent…. today booth, vogt, Maswanise were absolutely hiding when the going got tough Should have had the players in by now, the schedules not a shock

Would it, cos we'd have been Rangers number in the draw had we gone through so wed have got Celtic.

Agree. The load on faddinger priestman is massive Lowry hodge just in the door Williams is out. SOD McGinn out need a fresh MM for Thursday. We haven’t been able to really work on patterns of play due to the weekend and mid-week games. Could we have performed better? Yes but with the psychology of Thursday we have lost today. Learn from it. First loss of the season. Now we need a performance on Thursday. The team owe us. The team need us. we knew there would be a drop from last year with the players we lost we are still in the process of rebuilding, let’s see where we are at the end of the window.

I don't think that the schedule has anything to do with it, at least regarding Williams; he only played a few games before getting crocked. I hadn't heard the Priestman news, what happened there?

Makes it more annoying now that old firm drawn against each other. Would have been great chance to get to semi

And more damaged seats than the POD stand 🤣🤣

We'd have been number 6 had we got through we'd have got Celtic at Fir Park

Nae c**t

Matty for at least getting us to extra time and trying to play out quickly while they had players in our box - unfortunately the rest of the team were happy to try the slow build up.

Hindsight is wonderful, sods law.
