You got inside info on the semi final result?

We were consistently out numbered down that flank. He needed some help.

He finished the game and seemed to be running fine in the last few mins.

Agree that he’s top class but he needs to be more aware of his options, at one point he beat 3 of their players, Stam started a run only for Said to double back to try and beat the united players again, a through ball was the better option. It’s the one thing I find infuriating about him.

I saw that. Hopefully there isn't hundreds of folk with the same issue.

The gaffer said

Pretty much how I saw it. Koutrombis worries me for the final, he has no pace and gets skinned too often for my liking.

A thoroughly deserved victory tonight against less than ideal opponents and an invaluable 3 points. We played very well in spells but looked vulnerable down our right side in the second half. Watt's goal was an absolute peach. United played a physical game just as I thought they would an despite 21 fouls being awarded against them wer elucky to have a lenient ref. Highlight/lowlight of that was the United player being told to go back at throw ins twice and still ignore the ref. Why no yellow card? A good midweek crowd too. Only concerns from me were possible injuries but glad to hear that JBA is not "overly concerned". Some looked more precautionary i.e Welsh.

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.
