John Beaton the ref 😭

Hopefully we win and Falkirk batter Hearts by an even bigger margin.

Dunfermline fans are absolutely raging with us about that! 😜😜😜

Absolutely 💯 yes

Sorry Dougie, as far as I'm concerned, I hope we get it right up you and Celtic on Wednesday. Motherwell great or not.

Just has been targeted for a while now yet, despite looking like a frail teenager, he gets up and gets on with it, to his credit. The game today doesn't have a giant like "Tiny" Wharton who would have sorted out a team like Hearts who simply and cynically shared out the fouls on Elijah to stifle him yesterday. As Grumpy hints, I doubt this treatment would be tolerated if he played for either of the OF, just another hurdle a team like Motherwell have to cope with in the Scottish game. I'm going to go full Kevin Keegan now and say I would love it, really love it if we beat the Seat-Smashers on Wednesday, mainly because they seem to think both JBA and Just will inevitably end up at Celtic Park next year. Their sense of entitlement really gets on my nazzums.

True yes , the man will always be a legend to me regardless of any headlines . The Hammer of the Old Firm and he definitely was

An epic night last night. Our largest crowd for 21 years; an imaginative display by Block E; and a fantastic atmosphere. Even heard singing in the POD! More of all that next season please. Over the piece, a draw was the correct result. Hearts got in our faces and dictated the nature of the game. For our part not our best display but not bad and we displayed resilience and durability in spades. Before kick off I had decided that I wanted Hearts to win the league title but on leaving the ground, I had altered my opinion. They were cynical and targeted Just from the kick off. Very much Alex Ferguson/Matt Busby tactics "win at all costs" . Simple management from Derek McInnes just do it and don't get caught. Years ago, after several bad fouls on target player a ref like Tiny Wharton would march over threateningly to the captain of the guilty side, grab him by the throat and tell him to gather his charges around and spell out to them that no further such fouls would be tolerated. Make no mistake those fouls on Just weren't random they were orchestrated pre match, by Mr McInnes. A enthralling tense match but a bit short on quality. Our midfield allowed Hearts just too much space. Up front, I felt really sorry for TJ who had little chance of beating Hearts', defensive leviathans in the air. Oh how we miss a big striker!! SOD and Longelo were my top picks. What a goal saving clerance from SOD. I don't think its unfair to suggest that Callum Ward could have done better at their goal. Steven MacLean made a lot of minor errors but got the major ones right. Shankland's push on Welsh at their goal - very soft but I wouldn't have given it. Longelo's arm ball in the box - 100% a penalty but rightly chalked off for the push on Priestman beforehand. Kyziridis's claim? Very soft but right decision see Stephen Welsh's claim. A well earned point that helps us in our quest for 4th place. We may have to rely on Sevco though.

We may get away with a weakened defence against Celtic as they're not the biggest team in the world. With a bit of luck Fadinger may be back to add some stainless steel to the midfield.

It will be interesting to see if he gets more protection in a Celtic strip* than he does now, some of those challenges yesterday should have resulted in an arrest. *(In case anyone is offended, I hope he doesn't go to Celtic ,)

🤣🤣Would have won league weeks ago 🤣🤣

The worst thing about that article is the headline. I'm a Motherwell great who tormented Celtic but I'm desperate for Martin O'Neill to bury Fir Park demons I know it's the way headlines are written these days, but they are constructed to make it look like a quote when he actually didn't say any of that.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/im-motherwell-great-who-put-37137011 Aw naw Dougie naw, this man was class and always will be always. If he supports Celtic which I heard years ago fine by me Wasnt expecting him to phone in though

But how would we have done with a good goalie in place? Only joking.

Those three defeats to Falkirk will go down as one of life's great mysteries and I suspect JBA still loses sleep over it. I suppose it could be explained by concluding that the spawny, diving Bairns got every refereeing decision in their favour and we got hee-haw but I'm not really qualified to judge 🤣.

That is class from Skippy A professional guy who was just doing his job that day, on the subject of that day I had no idea up til about a year ago Rab Douglas in goals that day is a big Motherwell fan. He mentioned in an interview with Tam Cowan

Believe it or not I was in having a few pints before the game yesterday, I bumped into a Rangers fan. Known the guy for years and a really nice guy He wanted to ask me a serious question which was why do Motherwell fans hate Rangers so much? We dont see this same level of hatred with Celtic. I said just try going to a Motherwell v Celtic game and you might think different but didnt seem to believe me. He also suggested we dont give Rangers the whole of the South Stand any longer and why is this? I corrected him as of course , both Rangers, Celtic and Hearts have sold out this stand . There is a definete paranoia thing here I was thinking but we left it at that. Decent bloke like I say . Anyway moving on to Wednesday's game I find it quite comical now that Martin O'Neill lost a league title at Fir Park in 2005 and potentially lose another one should things go according to plan. Hopefully no 98th minute winners, or wrecking off the Seats

Exactly, pumped sellik 2-0 In December , won 3-2 at ibrox. Drew with hearts 3 times. We go for it every game...well apart from lieing doon against Falkirk 🤣🤣

I watched an old interview with Skippy recently, and you can see he was still annoyed about Celtic fans asking him why he scored and celebrated on Skippy Sunday. As he pointed out, he's a professional footballer playing for his team and his team mates (and his win bonus that paid for his summer holiday at that time). And went on to say the Celtic fans shouldn't have been asking him why he did his job, they should have been asking the Celtic players why they didn't do their's. The same goes for whoever finishes second this season. Should have done a better job.

This is desperate, desperate stuff, intit? The Celtic "fairy dust" isn't as strong as their deluded fans imagine. I remember Tommy Coyne telling them where they could go when they came sniffing around him again during his long, hot spell at Fir Park (wottaguy!). All our boys will be out for the three points on Wednesday so COYW!

Funniest scenario would be if JBA gives Halliday a 3 minute "goodbye" cameo at the end of the match and he concedes a pen that leads to a Celtic win. The OF conspiracy nuts would be trying to work that one out until this time next year.

Obviously Watt will try as he’s off to Rangers, Just probably not since he’s Celtic bound. Surely it depends if JBA has said to Slats and Faddy there’s a place for them in the East End with him next season 😜

All four of Celtic backline were booked in today’s game showing they can be got at and panic. Definitely think we’re getting something out of this. And as good as Maeda’s overhead was today he missed two easier chances. Gordon and SODs will have him/them in pocket anyway 😊

They're basically accusing our players of cheating. I can't imagine any professional not playing to win, especially when we still haven't guaranteed our European spot. Can you imagine guys like Watt, Just, Fadinger and Slattery thinking "Aye, let's lose this one"?

One or two Jambos spouting the same pish on Pie & Bovril. Welsh cant play, McGinn is said to be injured, which leaves SOD as the only identifiable "Sellic Man" in our team, and I think he has done enough in his time here to prove that lying down is not in his make up.
