Yes, and gracious thanks to them for that, but where are the Scottish TV highlights? It seems only The Uglies are worthy of notice by the cameras. At least Peter Martin on PLZ gave us a glowing report, so well done to him.

Everyone was a 7/10 or above tonight so feels kinda unfair to single anyone out. The entire backline were magnificent. Oscar and Faddy did Oscar and Faddy things. Lowry showed his range of passing is gonna be up there this season and a special mention for Olly Whyte who put in a real shift when he came on and showed he is someone we could be getting excited about very soon. MOTM though is SAID. He is box office every week, but those 2 goals are ridiculous! Ifbhe keeps that up another club record transfer fee will be incoming!

I was always confident there were plenty of ball playing central defenders out there to replace Welsh, but credit to the recruitment team to come up with one that is so good.

Dont want to get carried away, but..... That was magnificent. Certainly the best European performance Ive seen at Fir Park and as dominant a display as I think Ive seen in any game. Helsinki barely had a shot on goal all night and we could have easily scored 5 or 6. They could barely get the ball off us until we shut up shop and went 5 at the back. Is this how football is supposed to be? Great credit to the manager and the players for hitting the ground running. Im sure most of us had the fear that we had seen the last of performances like that when Jens and our 3 best players left in the summer. Its testament to them and the recruitment team that a seemless transition is well underway. Bravo Motherwell! 🧡❤️🧡

So many to choose from but went for JGR. Solid defensively when in the centre then remarkably the out ball / furthest forward multiple times from Poulsen when HJK were throwing everything at us.

just curiosity on my part - but did the Physio's have a night off tonight, can't recall any injury stoppages that required attention.

That was a European night to remember. The atmosphere was electric. It is great to see Fir Park rocking. No failures on the pitch for Motherwell. Star man for me tonight was Moorman, he was superb in that defence. Lowry looks to be fitting in nicely. Fadinger and Priestman were imperious in the midfield. Said is adding scoring to his game, which is great to see. Olly Whyte looks every bit a first team player. I'm sure that he'll get plenty of game time this season. A great time to be a Well fan. Who's off to Freiburg. See you there. COYW!

Here are the highlights on YouTube courtesy of HJK TV.

I thought we played, I didnt like the fact it was the same tactics hjk used and we didnt pick up on it. 1 player going short and the other going long then a long ball over the top. cacile for them number seven has some decent pace and ability and also mero on the other side id defo inquiry about them. And this time pukki didnt get a proper sniff at goal. But overall we played and beat another seeded team

Said the hero but I went for Moormann, jeez!! What a find he has been

Just in from pub, how good was that? Absolutely buzzing. First half i was saying we desperately need a striker ( which we still do), said magnificent 2nd half as were all the lads. Having lost 5 players we have sure replaced them, Moormann looks a great find and I think JGR looks a great signing . Atmosphere immense and lets bring on the germans and give it our best but pressure off as we are massive underdogs COYW

Really? If so that’s even more confusing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brilliant night. Football was a joy to watch. Went with my 14 year old son and his mate. His mate supports one if old firm but was amazed at atmosphere and football. Some of the passing was sublime. Poetry in motion.

You may be right but €1.1M isn't too shabby although we'll all be looking to qualify for the group stage.

That was absolutely magnificent tonight. They started quite well in terms of possession, and we looked a bit nervous for 15 minutes, but gradually we took control and a very enjoyable evening ensued. We have replaced our outgoing players very sensibly so far, although another signing or two wouldn't go amiss and although there were a few slack passes and some dubious decisions from the ref, at no time did I feel worried that they would put us under any real pressure, This time last year all the short passes in the 18 yard box scared me Sh*tless but now it is just amusing to watch the opposition run sideways like headless chickens. Add in that AJ is an absolute pleasure to listen to, and I think this year could be even better than last year. What a great time to be a 'Well fan.

With the hint of a good old fashioned quick toe poke before the keeper could set

Oh he wasnt perfect he was just streets ahead of the shite we suffer every week

Suprised JT never got it...

Only 2 * €175k, surely? Two qualifying rounds, then one playoff round...

It's a public vote.

Did not think he was that great. Seem to favour the visitors and gave alot of very soft fouls, especially 1st half. He improved slightly in 2nd half. In saying that you are correct to say he was streets ahead of the scottish officials! Standards are declining even with all the tv recordings they need to study, learn and improve.

According to the wiki page it's a bit better than that at Second qualifying round elimination: €350,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played Third qualifying round elimination: €550,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played Play-off round elimination: €750,000 + €175,000 per qualifying round played In addition to the €750,00 there is also €175,000 per qual round so 3 x €175,000 is €525,000 so a total of €1,275,000 which is quite a bit of money even accounting for the additional expense. Plus of course over €3M if we qualify for the group stages although I'd imagine the €1.275M will be deducted.

I’m sure JBA will be watching from afar and feel so proud [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need to comment on the Referee. In the two European ties the referees have been streets ahead of the utter shite that passes for refereeing in Scotland. Let the game flow. Compare it to that fud who refereed the Falkirk game. Most Scottish games the chat after the game revolves around the referees incompetence. Two European ties and no such discussions.

The MOTM on the BBC match reports is an average of the accumulated fan votes on the website. Nothing to do with what the reporters or pundits think. Been that way for many years.
