I think Falkirk fans are so far up themselves .

Apart from 15/20 mins in second half we dominated the game, played some nice stuff again and at times when required went long rather than risk it. I thought there was more variation in our game tonight. Scored two really good goals . Manwanhise should have had another and Hendry was unlucky to be cleared off the line. Not a bad attendance considering a midweek game and fans forking out alot of money last weekend and next.

Don't know about being arrogant but they do love a good boo, and have done for years. .

As someone who has defended Stama on here quite considerably, I felt the drop off after Hendry went off was quite significant. Not sure what was wrong with Stama tonight, but he was second to every ball and ended up going off injured. Beginning to suspect he is made of glass......

Y Looked slow n unfit to me.

Thought Callum Hendry did well too. Unlucky not to score. Won a few free kicks and first touch was good.

Speaking of kicking, I hope we have a better ref for the semi than the one tonight. Utd just kicked lumps out of us from start to finish and it didn’t seem to bother the ref.

I actually thought Cookie had a good game, better than Maswanhise first half certainly. But TJ got his goal and put a shift in second half despite clearly having been crocked scoring.

I think he played well enough but at times seemed a bit timid. I remember him being more direct and running right at defenders but that could be JBA tightening the reins a wee bit to retain ball possession in attacking areas so as not to loose possession and expose us light in defence

Callum Ward looked solid. Played well. Passing good and he elected to kick long at times when under pressure

Slide tackle to block a shot. Got up holding his thigh. Hopefully just a precaution. Wasnt mentioned in post match interviews.

Is that from JBA? What happened to Welsh?

The amount of hospitality that is consumed at some games we're lucky they picked a 'Well player.

Sorry, but it really isnt a difficult choice tonight. Slattery, Fadinger, RCC, Koutroumbis all had good games, but Elliot Watt was an absolute stand out tonight. One of the most complete midfield performances Ive seen from a Motherwell player in a long time and a fantastic goal to put the icing on the cake.

Watt for me. Been outstanding season so far but Fadinger, longelo and Said done well.

Thoroughly enjoyed that tonight for a a number of reasons. Firstly we absolutely dominated the first half with 72% possession of the ball having made 5 (five) changes to the starting line up. United had 1 shot on target in 45 minutes and that was the free kick which Ward dealt with comfortably. Second half we coped well with Goodwin going man for man to try and close us down and still managed to find ways around them. We did cough up a few chances, but we made far more ourselves proving that we can actually be a very effective counter attacking team if we need to be. We scored 2 fantastic goals, kept a clean sheet and finished strongly despite having made 5 substitutions. All in all, a very good nights work and 3 points to keep the momentum going into Saturday. Fingers crossed the injuries aren't serious and we have as strong a starting 11 and bench as we had tonight.

The Well Society email today said if you don't see the ticket in the app by 10am on Thursday then call the office.

Far from perfect, but two great goals and a noticeably more pragmatic approach. Plenty of positives to take as we look to Saturday.

Only if my ticket actually appears in the app!

Welsh a big blow, Shame for SOD but Johnny K done well and we have Sparrow also

A thoroughly professional display. Other than the post scare we completely dominated a United side that has started the season well. I was right behind Watt's strike. What a thing of beauty it was. Well done lads. Naturally it's the O'Neill show on BBC Scotland. Shock

I think i'm correct in saying, we haven't lost a semi to a non OF team since Airdrie. Is that right ? One bad omen is that I've never seen my team (ok Scotland, not Motherwell) win from that end of Hampden. Excited for the semi obviously, but shitting it too. Got a wedding in Blantyre thursday, a gig in Tarbert Friday and the semi on Sat. Three whole days off the rock for me !

Looks like O’Donnell and Welsh will miss Saturday …

I thought I posted at half time but apparently not. We totally dominated possession in the first half but I honestly thought it was a snooze fest. Luckily we got the goal just before HT. Longelo coming a few minutes before gave us so much more attacking impetus. Second half was much more enjoyable even though Dundee Utd put us under pressure at times. The game opened up and we had the space to play into and sudden we looked a lot more threatening even though our dominance of the ball was gone. Thought we defended well tonight, although we got a stroke of luck when Dundee Utd hit the post when they should have scored. Thought going into these two games we needed 4 points just to steady us a bit and we've taken 6 so that's great. We've also kept a clean sheet and extended our lead in the second half when earlier in the season teams we're pegging us back. Pretty happy.

Very difficult choice between Slattery, Fadinger and Watt. Went for Slattery in the end.
