First, long time away, so I hope my quote has worked.
Next, I have seen very little of Motherwell recently; the home playoff game against Sevco, then, before that the first two European home games in 2010.
At risk of taking the thread off topic, my observations on the Sevco game were that we were far better than them on the day. So, I am not surprised what happened to them last week, given that they have just had one season in the top tier.
However, I am now living in Liverpool, and, have been to a few AFC Marine games, though, still a lot of working overseas. There's very little difference between Marine (England Level 7) and the recent Motherwell Youtube offerings. For comparison, Barrow are Level 5. So, am I surprised losing away to both Gateshead and Barrow? Not at all.
In my opinion, unless Regan gets punted, the standard of Scottish football will continue to decline. Partly due to economics, and partly apathy.
Again OT, dreadfully difficult posting this with a brilliant network speed, so many requests to third party servers, ads, I guess, so you won't see much from myself unless this improves. Possibly a funding issue, possibly bandwidth, as hundreds want to simultaneously post the reaction after the game against mighty Barrow.....
EDIT: Quote hasn't worked. It was meant to be Ya Beezer's on page 9.....
