Lets hope Kenny Shiels signing a family member works as well as when Billy Davies tried it.

All stems back to the Rangers game for me. Poor team selection got us a doing when we were on a good run and should have been looking to keep the momentum up. We've never recovered from that and have chopped and changed personnel since then. I really hope Stuart McCall knows what he's doing but I must admit I'm fearing the final as much as I'm looking forward to it.

After that performance yesterday I can't say I'm looking forward to the Scottish cup final too much any more. We've imporoved a lot over the last couple of months but I'm disappointed to see we've still got that level of inept performance in us.

Why were we just looking to keep fit and avoid injuries rather than give our chances of qualifying for Europe a massive boost? Why go hell for leather last week and then come out with a weakened team full of non triers this week? The cup final is 3 weeks away FFS. You seem to have totally missed the point with every post you have made on this subject. Are you saying we can expect performances like this for the rest of the season?

Hutchinson and Hately in would be a good start after today.

I can't undersand why people are trying to play this result down so much and saying it doesn't really matter. If Celtic win the league we qualify for Europe whether we win or lose in the Scottish Cup final so this should have been our most competetive game in the top 6. We should have had our strongest team on the pitch and every player should have been up for it. I'm not saying we should be trying to do Celtic any favours, I'm saying we should be trying our utmost to take something from todays game and unfortunately we weren't. Is it the case that some players care more about the cup final than they do about Europe or league placing because they won't be here next season anyway? Possible even subconsciously?

Sums it up for me. Taking anything from todays game would have gone a long way to securing European football for next season so I can't understand why the strongest team didn't start. Plenty of time to rest players after todays game. McCall has had the team playing really well and fighting for everything recently but in my opinion he has undone a lot of his good work today. I'm totally pissed off by that performance. It was played like a meaningless end of season game but it was anything but.

Should have had a penalty, should have had a free kick in the build-up to rangers goal and Lafferty should have had a second yellow for playing on after the whistle had gone. Could have been a totally different game if the referee had the balls to do his job properly. Having said that it's been a totally lacklustre, end of season type performance which wasn't helped by dropping Hutchy and Hately. Can't see us getting European football unless we win the cup now and if we play like that we've got no chance. Just seen the 5th going in. Total fucking embarrassment and they should all hang their heads in shame.

This is a huge game for us. Win it and we've got 1 foot in Europe.

I'm sure Maurice was also quoted at the weekend as saying he had moved about too much in his career and he felt it was now time to put some roots down. Typical lazy Evening Times journalism.

Who were they fighting with? Or was it more vandalism than actual fighting? Either way they're a bunch of fuds who obviously have no idea how ridiculous they look. Half of them are fat middle aged thugs who look as if they've found their clothes in a skip and sewed a stone island badge on and the other half are playing at it like extras from a Danny Dyer film and probably hide when the trouble starts. Sounds similar to what the Dundee United fans did in the Fir Park Club and rightly got slated for.

Top 6 confirmed for Motherwell. Boos ringing out on full-time at Pittodrie. It's been a good day.

Looks to be a good addition. Aquitted himself well today and I imagine he'll get better as his fitness improves.

As much of a tit as Gerry McNee was he saw through Craig Brown years ago and I can't believe what an easy ride he continues to get from the media. Craig Brown has had several slurs on his character over the years and he seems to come throught them all with his self-proclaimed "dignity" intact. He was a Judas to his wife, a Judas to his Scotland backroom team and a Judas to Motherwell. If he had any dirt to dish on Motherwell I'm pretty sure he would have at least alluded to it when he left to join Aberdeen. He is a shaky voiced little worm of a man and the sooner he gets what he deserves the better. Well done to John Boyle for winding the wee prick up to the extent that he he shows his true colours again.

I'll take Franny Jeffers over Alan Gow or Nick Blackman any day of the week.
