We are going to Hampden nah nah

Wish I'd had the option of a semi on my stag do.

And on a big Hampden pitch it hopefully suits us

Stam is who we have, and until Hendry, Robinson, Sule and Stuparevic come back from injury or the transfer window opens, we might as well accept his good points and hope he clicks in front of goal. Our other option is shoehorning wingers into the 9 position, which just won't work. It was an excellent win and a guttsy performance with some of our best players missing, so maybe we shouldn't dwell on the negatives.

Another win against the Dons? Always a wee worry when you beat a team in a cup game and play that team next in the league. Will Stama score in this one? COYW

So close to punching that ball into his own net, he then feigned an injury out of embarrassment. It is a tad concerning anyway…. That’s enough of me moaning…. Delighted we are at Hampden again, I can’t see JBA shitt1in the nest like kettlebell did last year.

Osong's a youngster who has only had a handful of first team appearances in the lower leagues. I'd have been more surprised if he had a seamless transition into the first team. He may or may not be any good, but I'd imagine it will be easier to judge later in the season. (Can you spend 8 years coming through the ranks at a team like Nottingham Forest while being shite?) Good to see we are writing players off after a handful of minutes though. It's a fine Motherwell tradition.

Still need a keeper imo, ward is not the long term solution

Put the two together and you still wouldn't have a footballer. They are both shite.

I think his link up play was good, still flying the AP flag

I'd have ten AP Stams over Osong who is actually shite

Good summary and I think it’s a good sign that we managed to still play decent against a team who obviously done their homework and set up to not allow us to play but yet we still managed to play our game. I think we are only going to get better the more games we play and when we get to full strength.

Nice wee boost to the coffers as well getting to Hampden.

Fadi/watt were excellent again, and RCC got stuck in and has some of the cynical side that we need at times. Thought the defence was solid enough, with the framework not putting a foot wrong. I went with Said. I had him down as a tricky unpredictable winger, but he put in a great shift in midfield, and is so good at taking the ball in and opening up some space.

Just seen the score and stats. Brilliant result. Only 41% possession. Is that right? Also Aberdeen 16 fouls, 2 booked to our 6 fouls and 3 booked. Ref at it? Given our increasing injury list that is a good result, with clean sheet. Confidence can only grow. Now we need to batter them at Fir Park.

Was always going to be a tough cup tie, but despite the fact we should have killed it off by half time, it was - like any victory in a cup tie - a great win.

Brilliant result, thought it was the poorest we’ve played but still created chances and still deserved to win! What a goal to win it as well. Stama should have put the game to bed before that last 10/15 mins.

He 100% did, i Believe it was to me on the Dundee game boards 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He must be ragin Mon the Well!!!!!!!!!!!

At the moment Hibs would be equally as difficult as Rangers, especially given their fans aren't turning up.

I really wish Stama had scored with the header. That would have been icing on the cake. What a ball from JT, put it right on his head, he has to start scoring those chances.

We're just a one-nil-away-from-home-in-the-Premier-Sports-Cup kinda team. Take your pick...

Struggled a bit because of how Aberdeen sat high, but sat off to try and avoid us playing through. Would have probably been easier with Just who is quite dynamic, but we figured it after about 24 mins. More than enough chances to win. Welsh is very good. Ap Stam good at hold up etc, but needs to score again today. RCC coming on to a game. O'Donnell was perfectly good again.

I’d prefer Partick Thistle. 😉 This could genuinely be our best chance to win the League Cup. Celtic are way below par, Hearts already out, Hibs (hopefully) out against Rangers tonight and (if not) Rangers in absolute disarray. And we owe St.Mirren big time in a knockout cup tie!

I thought we played fairly well. Better than the first couple of league games anyway and probably better than last week. Really enjoyed it. Viva the JBA revolution!

Considering our injury list that is a great result. Decent performance, wee bit luck in defence, missed too many chances to kill them off. Nice football in patches. So…………………. WE ARE IN THE SEMI FINAL
