  1. I don't think we did deserve to lose , we were abysmal but Aberdeen were worse. Our age old failing , teams only need one shot at goal to beat us. All game we boot the ball long then with two mins left of normal time, we decide to play possession football and don't put a single ball into the Aberdeen area. We need a serious clear out if we manage to stay up, this lot will always put us in bother
  2. For every one you can give where we deal with expectations, I can give you three where we didn't. I've watched us for 46 years , dealing with rising expectations is most certainly the exception. Failures in the Cup competitions over than period are utterly littered with defeats to teams from lower divisions defeats to other SPFL teams no better than us when we'd expect to win them.
  3. Watched Aberdeen tonight, my god they are seriously one of the worst teams I've seen in years. I'd dearly love to think we could handle expectation on Saturday but I've supported us too long not to see a potential banana skin.
  4. It's definitely still on but for it to happen we need to win 3 or 4 of our next 4 games and we've only won 7 all season. So it unlikely, add to that that it would be so typically Motherwell to beat Rangers and lose to the worst Aberdeen team you will ever see. Aberdeen were utterly shocking tonight and if we have anything about us on Saturday we should be able to beat them. However all my Motherwell supporting life the one this we consistently can't do is deal with rising expectations in the stands. That said it would make for some real excitement in the stands for a change if we took it right down to the Hibs game. I still says the odds are against us.
  5. I never doubted him , I just didn't join the Wikipedia fed "he's shite" before I saw him play. Same with Jack Vale both have turned out better than I could have hoped for. I don't know if these sites are anywhere near accurate if they are we have work to do on his current wages never mind extending his contract. https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/motherwell/
  6. Probably also much needed resource when Vale goes back down south in the summer. It's a bit worrying none of our fans have been on saying he's shite
  7. I'd love us to get Vale on an extended loan for next season but like Bair others will be watching.
  8. Fans basically know fuck all about football. Supporting a team is 95% emotion 5% rational constructive thought. Wherever there is emotion there is irrational thought . It was the same when Vale signed, fans couldn't wait to put his Wiki stats up and moan like fuck that he was useless.
  9. Just for a bit of fun. If we took 9 points from the next 4 games , beating Dundee and Hibs in those 4 games we'd be on 41 points 13/3 Dundee V Aberdeen. Aberdeen win .. Dundee on 33 points Ross County v Hibs .. Draw - Hibs on 35 points 16/03 Hibs v Livingston .. Hibs win, Hibs on 38 points Motherwell v Aberdeen , Motherwell win , Motherwell on 35 points 17/03 Dundee v Rangers .. Rangers Win , Dundee on 33 points 30/03 Rangers v Hibs .. Rangers win , Hibs on 38 points St Johnstone v Dundee , Dundee win , Dundee on 36 points Motherwell v St Mirren , St Mirren win, Motherwell on 35 points 06/04 Dundee V Motherwell , Motherwell win Motherwell on 38 points Hibs v St Johnstone , Hibs win , Hibs on 41 points 13/04 Aberdeen v Dundee, Dundee win, Dundee on 39 points Motherwell v Hibs, Motherwell win, Motherwell on 41 points That would see Motherwell and Hibs finish on 41 points. 6th place would go down to goal difference. However predicting Hibs drop two points RC and Aberdeen win at Dens Park is probably being over optimistic. Of course if we won all four, which borders on the impossible, 6th place would almost certainly be ours. I think Hibs will get it when all said and done.
  10. If Aberdeen draw or beat Dundee and Ross County beat or draw with Hibs in midweek a top six place then becomes in our own hands but realistically we need to beats Hibs and Dundee and one of Aberdeen or St Mirren to end up in the top 6. For me it's still an outside bet but the fact we've put ourselves in that position is pretty incredible.
  11. Ah I don't feel so bad , I thought he had scored with the penalty he won. Don't feel quite so doo lally , I knew he was in it somewhere.
  12. i could have sworn micky weir scored in that game.. The curse of advancing years ...
  13. To anyone who is 35 , enjoy that win because if we go the same distance again you will be 62 like me before it happens again. That's how incredible that result was today. If someone had told me the day Owen Coyle and Mickey Weir scored to beat them 2-0 I'd be 62 before it happened again I'd have ordered a straight jacket for them. Better Motherwell teams than this one haven't sniffed a win at Ibrox so everyone at the club should saviour every minute . I know the fans will.
  14. There was a time where we went 4/ 5 seasons and Celtic only beat us 3 times.
