Very interesting that 4 of the subs that came on got a MOM nomination. I would start all 4 on Sunday

I don’t like it when MJC predicts a win for us, so I’m quite happy to see him predict defeat

Negativity to the dark side leads, listen not to the dark lord MJC belive in the force that is Motherwell.

Ba boom tish 🎵

Hopefully yes then come Sunday when the game is we will be ready 🤣

Does anyone know if Motherwell TV is showing this on Sunday? It says international only? im not sure if Red Tv is showing it either but I don’t really want to give them the money.

Tam Sparrow - good energy, set up our goal and stopped a certain goal after we fannied about in our box

The problem is its an uphill task and the whole event is weighted against St Mirren. From Celtic having their own end and dressing room at an apparently neutral statium. You will probably also see comments in the press from Celtic spokespersons about St Mirren's approach in the lead up, trying to put the refs under pressure. Maybe less so now Rodgers is away, but its all in the play-book. We've seen this all first hand against us.

They got rid of the problem last week. They still have top quality players and by the Final date I fully expect them to be back in top form,not that I give a shit tho. I don't think I would have been looking forward to meeting them in another final and getting humped. Happy to leave that pleasure to the Saints.

Had we got Celtic in the final Id have been more confident than any other time we faced them in a final. Celtic are a shadow of the team the were and were fortunate to beat a 10 man Rangers team. Sure they will be favourites against St Mirren but St Mirren will not face a weaker Celtic team ever again.

I was thinking that as well maybe a few of our fans should think before they speak.

St Midden have as much chance of beating Celik in a final at Hampden as we would if we had got there. That's no chance at all .

I think they stand a decent chance to beat Celtic , Celtic are a shadow of the team theyve been in recent years.

Ahhh I misread original post, sorry bud

I don't envy them either. Think O Neil has galvanised them too. I would have been more confident facing Rogers team.

Yes he has 2. Next one will be third. I think Alex McLeish lost 4 finals

I think we are all acknowledging it was a bad day and hopefully we respond in positive manner. I am quite sure players hurting as a huge missed opportunity for them. COYW

Yes and No. However the kinda of fuck up we did against a very average St Mirren side (enough of this tactical genius pish by Robinson,) we did against Hearts, Celtic, Kilmarnock and Falkirk. We gift goals like its going out of fashion. I fancy us to beat ourselves again on Saturday.

I'm thinking along similar lines. Robinson and his squad for me are more streetwise, been kicking around long enough and more accustomed to these types of big events. I'm a huge fan of our gaffer , squad and everything we're trying to do but I do feel the occasion overwhelmed the team . Fair play to StMirren they executed their plan ruthlessly. Overall it became a non event all too quickly and I just hope we can bounce back and put some results together. It could easily become a tipping point , it's essential that we come through the next few games with wins.

Only shining light is 'Andy a Well fan' just beat Roger Hannah on beat the pundit on Clyde 2. Nice one

Diddy cup anyway

I don't really envy a 4th consecutive cup final v Celtic tbh. St Mirren likely on a hiding to nothing. 1/5 of the stadium Their players will no doubt be be getting immediate bookings while Maeda runs around carte-blanche fouling as usual

Dont think Welsh, Longelo, Maswanse or Slattery are 100% fit atm, and i doubt if our AP is either. But were kg trying to manage their playing time hence the shuffling of the team.

Mind Welsh was taken off at It'd game , not 100% fit i suspect. He would be the managers first name on the sheet in defence if fit.

We can question team selection etc all day, but to me, it felt like the magnitude of the occasion really got to the players as a group. We've seen plenty of examples of how 'risk and reward football' can go either way, but if you're too scared to take any risks, the outcome is almost inevitable.
