And your still posting pish

Not quite. We can have all the full backs, wingers and playmakers in the world. Means nothing when we have possibly the worst strikeforce Ive ever seen at Fir Park. Jan Shopping List - 1 Lb, 1 Am, 1 St. No point in a winger when we play 3-5-2, we have Hastie coming back if we do need a winger for the odd game

I guess it was only a matter of time before the burrows chat started. I think the fact that he is a fan, and that he came from/started these here boards has a few folks thinking that they might be equally qualified. He has also chosen to put himself out there on social media, which many of us appreciate. Otherwise most folk probably wouldn’t even know who the CEO was. The facts are that he worked his way up through the ranks, and has been highly regarded by his peers for some time and multiple execs, owners, managers, board(s) have been happy with his ascent through the club structure. I don’t know what he did professionally before he joined the club, and neither does most folk on here, but it doesn’t matter. As for his current performance, we have made significant improvements to the pitch, facilities, and “matchday experience”, season tickets are up, revenue is up, we’re knocking off sizeable chunks of the club debt, the commercial arm of the club has seen huge improvements, our media team is excellent, and we succeeded in being selected for project brave (let’s not kid ourselves on, this place would have been at him with pitch forks if we hadn’t qualified for that). All this without a rich owner. You may not want to give him a knighthood, but to suggest he should be fired is ridiculous. He recruited the manager (I’m assuming some of the board and les were involved too) and robinson has been responsible for two cup finals. I’m kind of sick of people dismissing that fact, we don’t get many finals and both were great days with great build up. No one complained about our football in those cup runs. Who was the last manager to do that? He also gets the plaudits for signing kipre (if he gets the stick for the shite ones too). So regardless of how Robinson is doing now, if you think the chief exec should go because he signed Robinson, you’re an idiot. The alternative is hardly setting the heather alight in his new job either. We have shown that as a club we have prioritized stability and paying down debt, and won’t make knee jerk decisions. Unfortunately that may be to the short term detriment on the playing side, but it is the right thing to do, that’s how we all budget in real life and the club should be no different. We don’t have individual board members paying players wages like the Dempster / McCall regime had. We’re fan owned whether you like it or not, and whether the club likes it or not, as the fact is that no one has wanted to buy the club since Boyle put it up for sale all those years ago. I don’t think anyone likes our current style of football, I personally hate it , and there is fair debate over whether a new manager could do a better job, but let’s take a breath - this is far from a crisis.

People have very short memories of Motherwell teams of the past. Anybody thinking Saturdays performance was the worst Motherwell performance ever , has not been a Motherwell fan for long. I have watched many very poor Motherwell displays under pretty much every manager we have ever had. Since McLean's time, McLeish, Kampman, Davis, Butcher, Malpas, Gannon, McGhee, Brown, McCall, Baraclough, (who have I missed), I have watched some turgid dross. Some of the players these managers have signed have been as poor as any we have now (the two Irish boys Keegan and who was the other one, McLeish bringing in Andy Roddie and my personal favourite Estaban Casagolda). The list goes on. We have had our moments under some of these managers too. McLeish's first six months, McGhee's first season, the second place under Stuart McCall being amongst the highlights. However the succcess was temporary with all these managers. McLeish managed to spoil one of the best Motherwell teams in my lifetime. McGhee's second season was painful to watch and McCall benefited from being manager at a time when the standard of the SPL was at an all time low. His teams blew up after 75 minutes because they were not fit enough. Could you imagine Robinson committing that crime? However if you really want to remember the dark days, thing back to the Malpas era. If ever there was a man that was able to suck the life out of a club, Malpas was that man. Weeyin did a very good analysis of McLean's time a few months back. His time at the club was far from rosy and it was only latterly, after he had been given the time to build it, that the Cup winning team came into being. I remember being up at Dalziel Park many years ago and I happened to catch a Billy Davis training session. It was embarrassingly poor. The players could hardly do 5 press ups between them and most of the session was spent lying on the ground pretending to stretch. Watch a Stephen Robinson training session by comparison. There is no comparison. The level of athleticism and professionalism is night and day. I find the clamber to sack managers at the best of times distasteful but at Christmas time in particular it is worth while remembering that we are talking about an honest professionals livelihood. Robinson has a very difficult job as ever Motherwell manager before him has proved. We have no God given right to beat the likes of St Mirren, Accies, Dundee etc. People wanting to take on that attitude would be better served following the Old Firm. I wish Stevie Robinson all the best and hope that things fall into place soon. Merry Christmas.

due to lot of unforseen circumstances in recent games our starting 11 is changed every week. we are not great but i honestly dont think we are that far off. our midfield looked weak today and we have no threat. as robinson has daid a couple of wide players would change our options immensely. grimshaw was gd when on and i thought tait done great at cb. i was also glad fans showed appreciation at end as whilst we didnt deserve loads the team really dug in 2nd half.us well fans need to all stick together and the continuos moaning does no good. we could all be pep guardiola sometimes but theres a reason we are not. usually down to alcohol and more usually not knowing enough about football. lets dust ourselves down and have a great day and victory over there on saturday.COYW

Not really. All they have to do is to instruct fans to sit in their correct seats and enforce it. No exceptions. It isn't difficult.

Picked this up from STV https://stv.tv/sport/football/1434092-stephen-robinson-ill-disciplined-main-let-motherwell-down/?fbclid=IwAR1EyCYMvDmN8p7cFjlSSWpmOzY1eP6gNegZ4sfHMIy4dlp0iwkjNJ_rDmU Hopefully gives us some cash to bring a couple of players in.

He's an absolute bog standard Bottom 6, fringe level wide player but he IS a wide player. Playing him at least gives you an option we don't normally have. Not that I think Frear is a great player, see above, but I have said at various times I think we play better as a team with him starting matches. If we can bring in more/better wide players during the window, great, but at present, if you want to give us some width he's really the only option.

Tuned in around the 25 minute mark. Firstly hope all the boys who were injured today are okay, some really really nasty ones by the looks of it. Good to hear we started with something different and obviously really frustrating to have no subs in the 2nd half but we coped fairly well with it. I thought Grimshaw and ATS did well, as did Bigi. I would like to see Frear given a run of games with ATS behind him as, despite his final ball being poor, he was creative and probably our most dangerous player. Grimshaw had a few marauding runs and overall the effort and application was there for all to see. Not sure what the double booking was for for the sending off. Main was naive at best and downright fucking idiotic at worst to lift his hands, although Stewart should be ashamed of himself for his reaction. I feel for Main, he runs his heart out and he probably came up here with the mindset of putting himself in the shop window with a view to a Championship/top League One club coming in for him around about now. He started off well but this season it just isn't happening for him. He is much better than Bowman and Sammon so I am happy enough for us to stick with him for now. I think we'll steer well clear of relegation this year, and hopefully we can clear out some of the dead wood and recruit a bit better than we did the summer just past. I still have faith in Robinson, but we must recruit better. Big game against Hamilton coming up this weekend! Edit - once again those two on the commentary were an utter cringefest. Their levels of bias make CelticTV look good. Get them to fuck ASAP.

Dont think the "Big Man" was on our side today. All those injuries? Pen decision? Sending off? I think he is in the huff with us for some reason!

This is getting really boring. We wanted a change of selection today. We got it. We wanted a reaction from the players after the St Mirren game. We got it. But for a series of circumstances the manager had absolutely no control over, we may have got a result today. Even with everything we had to contend with we were still in a game against the new "cuddly toy" of Scottish football, right up to the final whistle. Nothing has changed. Robinson will be given this transfer window to sort the squad out. If he does and we get a decent cup run and improve our league performances, he stays. If he doesnt, he may get his jotters in the summer. Until we are actually dragged back into the relegation equation the board wont act.

Just back. Ironically a much better overall performance than StM game. With the forced players on pitch we had to start to pass the ball occasionally. ATS looks much better when trying to pas and move rather than just launching it. Similar with Gorrin, Bigi, Campbell. and Frear The continuing liability that is Carl McHugh would have a straight red for the appalling challenge on Dunne has he been a Killie player.

Scunnered yet again.sometimes you need a wee bit of luck go your way and we never got that today,we were right up against it with having to make 3 substituitions so early on but the bottom line is,there is nothing happening on the pitch,were just a poor poor side that lacks any kind of quality and ideas.im actually glad main won't be playing against accies now as he's absolutely rotten,he would be one of the first players we should be getting shot of in January.

yes but if we bin him,we pay him, if he could give us a break n just walk away ( heez left us with his shite ) but then who gets the gig ? anyway that's not the discussion because heez still here so where do we go ? I hope someone better then me can sort this dug shite out, ps don't want to hear the all the sob storys after todays game, cause this has been dug shite all season, have I told you how dug shite we have been ??????????

He's been absolute crap this season. Couldn't score in a proverbial barrel of

Main has sold the jerseys today but is utter garbage anyway. One of the worst number 9’s we’ve ever had.

This thread is full of people that are glass half empty and glass half full personalities. I suppose that is no surprise as it probably represents life in general and most fans of football clubs. So you get an overly negative post and someone from the glass half full side comes into defend Robinson and Burrows and vice versa. I am a realist. I look at the situation and think should we be in this position and where should we be based on the money and resources we have at our disposal. There is no doubt that the football being played at the moment is not pretty to watch. There is no doubt that some of the players are not playing to their abilities and some of the summer signings have not come good (yet) as the Manager would have hoped. There is no doubt that the Manager tactics are a little agricultural and some formations and substitutes have proved to be mistakes. But the reality is that we are almost exactly where we ought to be in the league based on our budget. So however you look at it he is NOT failing in that respect. To dismiss as many do the cup results is just bizarre and to any rationale person fundamentally unfair on Robinson. Only twice in our 130 yr history have we reached 2 cup finals and that is not worthy of praise or recognition. In the finals we played a team with 20+ times our budget and were not humiliated in either. We had great semi finals, again beating teams with much larger resources and playing squads. Even this season we get to a quarter final. I remember many Well teams not getting through the 1st round of cup fixtures v lesser opposition. To dismiss that imho shows that your views are glass half empty in the extreme and that quite frankly regardless how we perform you will never be happy.... Short of getting Steve Clarke I am not sure what replacing Robbo would achieve. We could have a better brand of football but lose even more games. I personally hope he can keep us clear of the 2 relegation places and maybe another run in the cup if we are lucky with the draw. If he does that he deserves to stay on as Manager. If he does not and we lose to Ross C and slide back into 11th or 12th then I am sure the club will act and I would agree with that.

In Robinson’s interview today he said we’re a good bit down the line with a couple of signings, highlighting that we need pace and width, so it will be interesting to see what central midfielder we sign [emoji1] Also said that a couple will probably go out. I wonder if we will see some more of the reserves move out on loan for the second half of the season too.

So Robbo puts on a good training session at dalziel and Burrows gets fans free pies after they get knocked out their hands in the warm up so they deserve to keep their jobs!! Lets forget the facts that after these great training sessions we play route one football and most of our squad can’t pass the ball 10 yards in front of their team mates and less than 10% of our players can beat their man in a one on one . Also forget the fact we are shite to watch , results are shite and entertainment value is zero . Combine that with the standard of player we have signed and the performances we have served up in the league this season and last . Robbo and Burrows are steering a sinking ship and the old pals act board need to act quickly. Problem is there’s far too much conflict of interest between the society board and the club board which keeps getting swept under the carpet- appointments by appointment by mates under a supposedly fan owned regime . We stick with Robbo and there will be more than him looking for a new job - his mistakes are putting many people who work for the club livelihoods at stake . Merry xmas and I look forward to my pie from burrows - that will make all the difference After another defeat .

Just s thought but wondering if a wee whip round of sorts would be in order to help the Bois sort out replacement materials and drum?
