Don't like getting beat but can take it if we a least have a go. Out of the last 3 games I have watched and going by the radio tonight our players just don't give a shit.

We are making a shite team look good. FFS 0-2 to this mob

How many times?

Funny how we all see the same game in a different way. I thought it was a yellow for McDonald he wins the ball first and then followed through it took no time for the Ref to go to his top pocket right in front of the Rangers dug out. If McDonalds is a red then Rangers should be down to 9 men for the tackle before. This mob are shite, Mon the well

They are shite Yoshi and we are just giving them all the time in the world and making them look good. No second half for me I've seen enough. Well fans at that game have been fleeced and I really feel for them

This is gut renching to watch. We are just watching them make passes FFS show some fight because this is pathetic so far. Rangers are shite and we are making them look good

Like we don't have enough twats already

If this is who Flow's talking about

Daily Record reporting this: I thought we had no sell on clause Johnson joined the Steelmen in 2015 for £25,000, but included in the deal was a 10% sell-on clause for Johnson. Therefore, Motherwell will not pocket all the money from tonight’s transfer.

And?

Someone on the twitter reporting Luca Belic from West Ham to us on loan?

Just listened to this as well. IF true Marv must have one squeaky bum right about now, how much of a fool he will look if we get to midnight and he's still our player. My only worry is from our point of view he looks like a huffy big shite and he might spit the dummy rather than getting his head down. Like most fans I come from the school of if you don't want to play for Motherwell then there's the door thanks for coming. The club have handled this perfectly so far after tonight what and how you deal with a distraction like this as a squad would be interesting to see. How today should pan out.......... 500k+ for Marv, nobody in give the youth a chance and fix the Tannoy thanks. (that's why I'm not in football management tho)

Met him in once in Hamilton and he was a total gent as a life long well fan he made my day , my week , my year. RIP Phil you will never be forgotten.

Well done Sir wee tear in my eye but exactly how he should be remembered.

Cheers dixie1886 this has fair made my day, absolutely brilliant!

Ladbrokes Malky Mackay Motherwell Next Permanent Manager 8/1 Surely not but very short odds from Ladbrokes, might just be that someone has put load on this as most other bookies have him at 20's+. Don't shoot the messenger just thought it looked very interesting compared to other bookies.

I understand that David, was only going on what had be said so far. As for being a Well fan right now we are making ourselves easy targets, flares on Sat now the game being stopped for fighting. We don't need another fine, bad enough we are now out of the cup to cut our bank we don't need to add insult to injury. We also don't need a reputation at away games thats all was was saying. If it was the so called security being too heavy handed then we should as a club get ripped right in to them. Trying to get fans to the football these days is hard enough but the high viz jacket mob having a wee bit of power and chasing fans away from the game, this needs stamped out and pronto. Anyway maybe on the wrong thread for this, and might be more important to listen to the people who were at the game when they get back.

If we are fighting amongst ourselves this is a total embarrassment and I'm ashamed to call myself a Motherwell supporter. We deserve to out of the cup and as a club to a man we need to have a very long hard look at ourselves. Shocking way to behave.

Come back Agent McCall. Your mission is complete.

Before speaking to anyone else, I would like to send my final correspondence as Motherwell manager directly to the most important people, you, the supporters. It’s fair to say that the last 24 hours or so have been incredibly difficult and emotional for me personally. However, it has also given me time to reflect on what has been a wonderful four years. I’ve enjoyed terrific highs throughout – my first season we beat Celtic, turned in excellent Scottish Cup Quarter and Semi Final performances before getting to Hampden. Seeing what getting to a National Final meant to the fans, but also the town itself is something that will live with me forever. I think back to the night we beat Hearts to qualify for the Champions League then the atmosphere at Fir Park for that game against Panathinaikos. For a lot of our players, that was the highlight of their career playing at that level. We’ve managed to beat Celtic three times at Fir Park, including back-to-back wins. I remember coming back from 2-0 down at Easter Road to win and no one will ever forget that game at Pittodrie in the last game of the campaign. That will go down as one of the best days I’ve ever had in football. You think back to those games and others with real enjoyment and satisfaction, but not just for ourselves, for what it did for you as supports and the highs they brought. We scored over 120 league goals in the last two seasons, so there have been plenty of positives. Don’t get me wrong, managers always hold on defeats longer than victories and I acknowledge there have been some hugelydisappointing lows. I suppose, in hindsight, I wish I had enjoyed the victories more at the time, but I was always too focused on the next game. I just hope the amount of highs cancel out some of the disappointments when people look back at what we’ve achieved here. We then come to this season, which has been a huge disappointment and my ultimate decision to step down yesterday. After the win at Ross County and the performance at Celtic Park, there was a real belief that we could get our confidence back and kick on, but the defeat at Hamilton in the Cup, and in particular, the manner of it, really knocked the stuffing out of us. I struggled to sleep after Friday’s game with St Johnstone then woke up again during the night Saturday into Sunday, thinking about the Dundee United game and I just couldn’t come up with any answers. I felt that with the International break coming up, now would be a good time to step aside to allow the club time. I have a hope that with a fresh voice and maybe some new ideas, it will give the players that little boost they need. I felt that if I didn’t have the same hunger or desire, if I was deflated, then the players would sense that and that’s not what they, or the club, needs at this point. I remember saying at Bradford prior to leaving that I take defeats really badly and carry it with me for a long time. This season has been difficult and when you become apprehensive about the next game, that’s your body’s way of telling you that maybe things have come to an end. Both as a player and manager, you should work all week and really look forward to matches, but if you have that negativity in your head, it’s difficult and I don’t want that to make our situation any worse. I care too much about the place and the people who work here. I would like to finish by thanking some people who have been invaluable to me. First, to the board – Derek Weir and others – who gave me a chance to manage this fantastic football club. They have all been hugely supportive through both good and bad times. To all the staff I’ve worked beside: Kenny Black, Gordon Marshall, Jonatan Johansson, Adam Stokes, John Porteous and latterly Aileen Anderson, Alan MacDonald, Bobby Jenks, Scott Leitch, and before him Gordon Young. We’ve been a really close-knit, tight unit who has worked hard through it all and I want to put on record my thanks for all their terrific work and effort. To the players, both current and past, who have represented themselves and the club so fantastically and achieved so much. You can talk all you like about tactics, formations and shape, but it’s footballers that win you games and they have been outstanding. I would also like to acknowledge all the superbly dedicated and hard-working staff that work at the club. Alan Burrows, who has been a great help to me throughout my whole time in both his roles, and the two guys in media, Ross Clarkson and Ally Reilly, who have contributed more than anyone will know to the success of this club in recent times. Karen Paterson, the football administrator, has been a huge source of advice and guidance too over the years. To Elaine and all the groundstaff, the kitchen and office staff – each one of them have been a pleasure to work beside and made coming in to Fir Park so enjoyable. I will miss them all. And finally to you, the supporters. I’ve enjoyed an excellent rapport with you all and I hope some of the great days and nights we’ve had together over the last four years have made supporting this football club an enjoyable experience. The group of young guys in the corner has given home matches a heart, a soul and an atmosphere and it’s fair to say Motherwell FC is certainly a club that gets under your skin. I would ask you all to rally around the club and the players in the next few weeks and months. We’ve achievedeverything with hard work, dedication and a real togetherness and that’s particularly the case when things aren’t going right. Nothing would give more pleasure if I am back up the road next May with my Claret and Amber scarf, with the team having picked up in the league, watching ‘Well at the Scottish Cup Final once again. It’s been a pleasure. Thanks for the memories. So long and farewell. Stuart McCall

Bit of a shocker that! Nice touch again from the club if the young guys went to visit. Get well soon Psycho

Motherwell FC 11/05/2014 Jim Bett Dick Donald Joe Harper Fred Martin Ally Shewan Teddy Scott Neil Simpson Eddie Turnbull Willie Miller Mark McGoo Craig Brown John Hewitt Drew Jarvie Jim Leighton Stewart Milne Derek McInnes we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all. Willie Miller, can you hear me? Stewart Milne your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating! This was about all that was missing from the commentary yesterday when that goal went in. Still can't get the smile off my face! Great day to be a Well fan, just like every other only sweeter.

Forget the rights and wrongs of the goal. Why did the Dons players stop playing?? I was told at under 10's that you play the whistle. They just stood and watched like dicks and can be seen shouting at the ref when the ball is still in play Feels great to be on the other side of one of those ref calls for a change

Just the best Motherwell.
