Just again for me hope we keep him a bit longer

You’re our AI mate 😉

I took a couple of Falkirk fans in before that game. No issues whatsoever. In fact there were a good few in there. Last few games the place has been packed, with queues waiting to get in as folk leave. Probably because the place across the road shut down. So if you go, get there early.

Watched incident again. Shocking refereeing looked like both players tussle in box. Happens at most corner kicks and free kicks. Scottish referees bias. Abysmal standards. That's why I don't go to games against OF.

I don't think they're strict about away fans

It was a judo move from Maeda which made Longelo land on top of him, foul to Motherwell!

I'd make a few changes here Ward Sparrow Welsh McGinn O'Donnell Watt Fadinger Just Maswanhise Norwegian Guy McFadden Slattery and Said - I'm choosing to drop out, for a few reasons.

They literally kicked him off the park.

Ba dum tssssss

I thought Hibs fans preferred Spoons.

Are hibs fans allowed in cooper suite before game? One of my work colleagues coming through from Edinburgh with his daughters and friends. Was going to meet for pre match pint

I would go same team. Sparrow only in due to longelo and Johnny K being unavailable

Anyways My team v Hibs would be Ward SOD McGinn Welsh Sparrow Watt Fadinger Maswanhise Slattery Just Bjorgolfsson Said needs dropped he's been poor last few games I'd of dropped Sparrow as well but he's played LB the most of the players available so he needs to play.

I’m hoping our players can perform at the top of their game for the remainder of the season. Said and JT struggling a wee bit so be interesting to see if JBA perseveres with them or tries something different and how he deals with left back situation.

I'm going to enjoy the football on show for the rest of the season but I fully expect for the manager and the squad to get picked apart in the summer. Slattery is OOC. Welsh goes back to Celtic. Maswanhise will be sold. Just and Watt will have suitors and I'm doubtful we'll be blocking moves for them given we market ourselves as a place where you can earn a move. I suspect we'll be another new look Motherwell team next season and we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Of course we can build. JBA has been revolutionary for us, but the style he plays is very common across most European leagues with teams big and small. The fact that it's unusual in Scotland speaks volumes about our approach to the game, but there is no reason we can't find a replacement who adopts a similar style. As I have said before, you only need to watch the "wee" teams who regularly beat Scottish sides in the European qualifying rounds to see how common our style is. In fact, I predict 2 or 3 other Scottish sides will be recruiting to copy us next season.

I am not convinced Jens will be away. I think a 2nd season for him builds his CV even more. As I said yesterday cash in on Maswanhise and use some money to build and make us even stronger. Hope we get good crowd in Saturday. 4th the priority so we need everyone on board. COYW

I don't think we'll get the opportunity to build our gaffer will be off and unless your giving the job to his rookie assistant manager there's not going to be much continuity. Your also going to have to trust the recruitment to get it spot on again to replace Maswanhise, Slattery, Welsh etc which we all know at clubs our size is hit and miss. I'm not trying to be negative that's just the reality of clubs like ourselves. I have enjoyed this season but can't help but feel it's an opportunity to win something that's been passed up again. The only 2 other recent-ish seasons i've felt similar was the McCall 12/13 team and the Robinson 17/18 team.

My experience of AI too. I'm finding it harder than expected to find the teams for that game but there is a photo here of the players in the bath after the game apparently and Billy is to the left of Davie Whiteford with Willie McCallum left of Billy. He's also in the squad colour foatie for that season: https://x.com/SteelmenHistory/status/1724107481775772032

Elijah Just. Given the treatment that he got from Celtic throughout the game his performance was magnificent. Full of energy, full of running, great out ball and lovely finish for his goal (Im not having it that he didnt strike it cleanly). He is the difference maker in our team and the one player we cant do without.

Especially considering we had a complete overhaul of our style and tactics at the start of the season. Earlier in the week JBA and SOD talked about "the journey" from where we were in our draw against Clyde and narrow win at Stenhousemuir. To come from that to (semi) serious title chat has been far more rapid progress than most of us could have hoped for. The next test is how do we sustain and build.

Thought he did reasonably well when he came on. St Mirren look a shadow of the team they were in the league cup though.

AI is great until you ask it a question on a topic where you have some knowledge. Then you quickly realise it's just a fancy google with a chatty interface. When I bought a new phone last year, I couldn't find a setting I was looking for. I asked ChatGPT and the response was "that model has not been released yet". I replied that it was released 3 months ago, and the next response was "You are correct", and then gave me the answer I needed about the setting. I certainly wouldn't trust it for anything critical.

I agree. Using the above logic our season has been over in January for the last 4 years as we have never thought winning the league was possible. Whether you believe we had any chance of winning the league this year or not, just having a conversation about it was something new. This season wont be over for me until the last ball is kicked and we see how high up the league (or otherwise) we finish. I think 4th and European football would be a very good return on top of the entertainment we have enjoyed this season.
