so there are 1000 tickets available for pay at the gate customers?
that'll do me, i've not managed to get over to FP

reid and ainsworth frustrated the life out of me - professional footballers who cant use both feet to pass a ball 10yards is a joke
we played a possesion game, but most if not all of reid's passes were to mcmanus - on all but one occasion he cut back on to his right foot, slowing the game down and giving the saints a chance to get back into position - the one time he went outside, he put a decent ball into the box and gave us a chance. ainsworth the exact same.....but i dont know if baraclough looked at ferguson and thought law would offer more protection than lionel due to his lack of tracking back and helping out defensively
law is winning me round, i think its time he gets a run at right back
sutton - im a fan of his, and i think he gets harshly treated on here however, if he is going to play in the team - we MUST play to his strengths otherwise he offers little. Higdon was the same. get to the byline, fire the ball across the box - he will score! he's proven it time and time again
someone mentioned hammell being away, i think as a player he is slowing down - however i dont think his contribution can be under estimated. when he doesnt play, we miss him and his experience badly. we need to find a left footed left back who can replace time longer term - no one currently at the club is the answer

450 - that's crap, henry schivute gets 450 million listens on soundcloud alone

mcbookie are now 4/5, but barraclough is 10/11 on same site

It was no surprise because Motherwell FC in their infinite wisdom took it off the season ticket and asked people to pay £15 on a Saturday in the run up to Christmas.
the club were losing money on this as we need to give the away team half the money of the attendance......but we werent charging everyone a fee to attend, so it was a decision made to plug a hole - anyway, this part doesnt bother me - what bothers me here is the SFA - they made the decision to amend the football calendar, they have ultimately affected and dented the finances of all their member clubs - the attendance at every game other than Tynecastle was terrible - SORT IT OUT SFA or at least the clubs should be telling the SFA this needs to change
The fans are voting with their feet. We've been bludgeoned into submission with the continual dross that's been served up starting with the Stjarnan debacle and continued unrelenting to today. Each pass game only seems to accelerate the downward decline. 3 wins in 17?!?! 8 defeats out the last 9?!?! The players and management should be fucking ashamed of themselves for the incompetence shown. It's beyond anger now, it's now apathy, and that's far more dangerous.
I've become the guy I said I never would be, or the guy I thought I'd be. I'm the guy that's stopped going to the football. Worse still, I don't even miss it, and I don't know when or if I'll be back.
I'm not saying I'm "Mr Motherwell" or anything like that but when fans who have been going solid home and away for decades become so disillusioned that they pretty suddenly stop going then the club should be very worried. I dare say say I'm not the only one.
This is currently how i feel
Cant be bothered reading the negative crap from some on , here we are in a sticky spot so get out and support the team £15 and £5 to get in was a bargin and if you cant be arsed forking that out and the crowd looks pathetic is it a surprise that the players cant be arsed either . I know they get paid for it but they need our support as well
every player in the first team squad is handsomely paid - waaaay waaaaay above average earnings - yes, yesterday prices were reduced - but i'd struggle to agree it was a bargain.
maybe the players should take a bit of responsibility upon themselves and give the fans something to cheer them up - they can forego a weeks wages and pay for the fans to go to an away game, I was going to suggest Accies on New Years day, but we'll travel in numbers for that game anyway, so as an early Xmas present they can pay for the fans to go to Paisley
a massive game - a real 6 pointer, and they get a proper backing by a vocal support and before people suggest, they've got bills too, yeah I agree, but they're still getting their appearance fee and they'll potentially get a win bonus too - i dont get extra money for turning up to work every day! And I dont get extra money for doing what I am paid to do either! (which in their case is to win football games, if I performed how they have been this season, I wouldnt have a job anymore)
it works both ways, yes we as supporters should be supporting the team and encouraging them, but they need to also give us something to cheer - its the festive season afterall and its the season of giving!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is he meant to do? Just call Strachan and say not coming in this week?? That's just not going to happen. And if you think it is, then you are ridiculously naive. Yes, things are not looking good. I'm not entirely happy he won't be here to rally the troops. Everything that has went in our favour the last few years... Pen decisions, injuries, suspensions etc, has went against us this season. McCall won't be here next season. Whether we stay up or go down. So the decision the board need to make is...... Does he go now and let someone come in, to oversee the squad and give them a chance to do something in the jan transfer window. Or do we ride it out and see if someone comes in and we get compensation for him. As someone else mentioned, county have strengthened last few jan windows. There's nothing to suggest they won't do again.

The only good thing to come out of our euro adventure this season. Amazing. Well done
-
Plus wear a suit ffm rather than being a full kit wanker!
is that going to make him make better decisions?
Just clocked an interesting stat on Twitter.
"Motherwell have been knocked out in the first possible round in 8 of the last 9 cup competitions they have been involved in"
if that stat is true - then that is absolutely honking
As for the result , im sure the players and manager will be gutted , lessons will be learned and god help whoever we draw next time as the boys will be out to put it right, again.
they were gutted at losing to Albion Rovers / Stjarnan - it is not improving, cup games are one offs - you need to lift it, you need to fight for it, you need to match the opposition - we are not doing that!!
god help whoever we draw next time? are you for real? teams will want to play us
-
Ojamma hasn't had a lot of game time.
why?? did he pick up a knock or is he not doing it in training?
he came here because he wasnt getting game time in poland, i expected way more from him
without a doubt, if he plays like we know he can, he is the most talented player in that team- he is the one who CAN cause opposing teams problems with his running, closing down and ultimately some goals
bring back the old Henrik - the guy who was causing havoc amongst these defenders and making them look stupid
-
no one stood out for me - bad night all round, didnt feel we wanted it as much as them, and often felt we were second to every ball - they harrassed us when we did have it, and more often than not, lost the ball or made mistakes
25 mins against 10 men and we cant do the basics
no one should get this vote!!
-
i'm pretty sure Josh Law scored on his debut for us!!
whilst i'm not happy with the performance of anyone last night, i think its unfair to critisise or single out one player.
he may not have set the heather on fire this season - but he is far from being the worst offender.
we cant compare him to faddy - that too is unfair
another who has not impressed me since his return is Henrik, much like Vigurs - wants too much time, tries to do too much nad ends up getting caught in possesion and losing the ball
-
Sorry JG!! I was meaning an imminent departure or not. Or maybe even January. But his contract is up at end of season. And his will be the same as departed players. Comprende amigo??
-
not sure when he will leave, whether that be now or near future - one thing is for sure though, he wont be here next season - that much is pretty guranteed
-
to take anything from this we will have to hopefully still be in the game at 60 mins then anything can happen. a wonder how much motherwell fans will make the trip, £29 for an adult to get treated like shit, a cant see much folk paying that
118 at dingwall last week - i cant see more than that
-
Not at all sadly. We have been overrun and out played in the majority of games so far this season and we've been extremely fortunate to have only escaped from some games with 2-0 defeats. We are due a severe pasting and if Celtic really fancy it then they will take anything between 3 and 8 goals off us on Saturday.
whilst i agree that we have been overrun and outplayed this season
you think 8-0 on saturday? what about the real game on sunday?
3 or 4-1 is my prediction -
^ Good post, I think that it's time for us to develop from within both in terms of youth players and coaching staff too. We should be getting the likes of Keef and Hammy doing their coaching badges with solid job offers upon completion. It's a shame that Craggs didn't stay on as a coach, I see he's with the N.I.Youths now and he could have been good for us too.
I'm sure Las and Hammy have done/are doing their badges, im sure I read that somewhere........and as for Craggs, he left and never stayed in football because there was more money in what he is doing now.
I think we all need to remember that for alot of the players, one of the main reasons they are here is Stuart McCall - they might not take to someone else and that will only lead to disaster.
If the story is true, to me its a smart move by Palace - getting a well thought of manager who knows the Scottish game inside out, can take a few gems down south for peanuts are sell them on for a very healthy profit. Its a man Warnock obviously trusts and can get him to do alot of his day to day running.
Again, all hypothetical - I'd be sad to see him go, however, its a move that he totally deserves after what he has achieved with ourselves
-
Not saying yes or no but it's a wee bit of balance and stability down the left side (among other things) that we need is it?
it is yes, but AFAIK, since he left us he's been plying his trade as a central midfielder - however, if he can improve what we currently have, which I thnk he can, then i'd take him - as much as i still hate the fact he paraded himself in those green n white hoops
-
i think this is a great idea and something i might now take up. i dont have a ST and at these prices, it is defo something that appeals to me
i have only been to the Stjarnan game and Killie away - and it is looking very likely that the next game i will go to will be Accies away
-
21/10 with bet365 for an away win
IMO - thats a fantatsic price considering how we are playing just now

A league match or not, someone at the club has to come out in the build up to what could be a potentially big match, in shaping how we move forward, and inject a bit of impetuous, desire and drive into the support and everyone around the club.
I won't hold my breath...
thats good to know - because you would be waiting a while

If Sutton isn't scoring goals then he brings nothing else to the table. Nothing.
whilst i agree with that, he was the same before he went to Hearts and Higdon was the same - im sure the shout was something like, "jump / run ya big lazy bastard"
these guys have proved they can score, its up to him to get in the positions and the rest of the team to provide the chances - he has not recieved any service, therefore he is not going to score any goals - it really is that simple. Higgy or Sutton were/are not flashy players, give them the service and they will score
to me, it looked as if we were playing a 4132, with lasley sitting deep and 3 centre midfielders of Law, Vigurs and Leitch - none of whom impressed me at all. Carswell at left back - nightmare, everytime the ball came to him, he is cutting inside, slowing the play down and heading into trouble. there was NO width whatsoever
something needs to change, we need more balance in the team
and whilst i would not call Vigurs an imposter, his talent is clear - he can not play the role asked of him saturday past - if he does, then IMO he IS a waste of a jersey - failing to track back when he lost the ball, blowing out of his arse after half an hour - that isnt good enough. A few nice passes here or there does not counter his lack of work ethic
St J are a very well organised team - i fear for saturday, especially if we have Hammell, Ramsden, Kerr, McManus all missing
-
That gets mentioned all the time...the guy couldn't wait to get out the door when he was here the first time!
Im sure he'd choose to stay at Arnold Clark than come back up here!
VVVVVVVVVVVVV
I think it's slightly tongue in cheek on the most part.
this man is correct - however he has been the only one who has given the youngsters their chance, we were once the team reknown for given them a chance - that is fading away now
Nothing against Carswell but I think our central midfield two should be Lasley and Vigurs. I'd play Ojamma on the left and play Erwin up front with Sutton.
It's not ideal and doesn't accentuate everyone's strong points but in an unbalanced squad I think its the best we can do.
i normally agree with alot of what you say but for me, if you play Henrik on one side and Ainsworth on the other, you cannot afford to play Vigurs in the middle - IMO, way too many attack minded players and not enough defensive cover, especially if we dont have a natural left back - we are always way too exposed on that side
For playing Kilmarnock? Probably not, but Vigurs is our only fit left sided player so I'd want him wide.
I'm not sure Lasley has had enough bad games to deserve to be dropped, and I'm not sure Leitch has had enough good games to merit starting over him, but I do think a midfield duo of Leitch and Carswell could be our best option at some point.
I think for next week with our makeshift defence, Lasley's experience would be beneficial. Central midfield isn't a problem in my eyes though. It's the wide areas that are of concern, although that's been mainly down to injuries and Ainsworth's lack of form. I'll be more inclined to judge us once we've had our strongest XI on the field.
is Vigurs fully fit though?
and im not sure i like him out wide.........he has great technique, and his delivery into the box is fantastic, for me, he just lacks the legs both going forward and also covering his defensive duties, i'd like to see him played inside a little bit but that would mean a change to our system, which at the moment may not be a bad thing (but not a 352!!!!!)
and i do think that if we can get Leitch and Carsy playing more often they could either be there for a long time or potentially getting us some much needed transfer money - the potential is there, i think they both still need nurtured, game time and can also still benefit from Lasleys experience
-
Young boy named McMillan replaced him.
studs back in a motherwell strip - nice
happy with that!! solid pro
-
problem with that squad is Cummins and McHugh aren't fancied by mcCall, moore is injured until Dec/Jan at least, Henrick is away in Jan and Neill, Cadden, Leitch, Erwin, and thomas are all untested over a whole season. Obrien could be good, could be pi$h time will tell.
I agree that the players you listed are untested over the course of a season. Here's an idea. Let's test them over the course of this season. One criticism levelled at McCall, possibly fairly, is his perceived lack of faith in our young players. Can't criticise him for that if we're not willing to place our own faith in them...
100% this. If there was ever a time to give them a chance, it's this season. Let's hope the fans give them the same chance.
We definitely need to blood some youngsters this season to give them SPFL experience.
I don't see Las / Sutton / McManus / Hammell lasting much longer (Or taking longer to recover from injuries) due to their age.
I would rather has some youngsters replacing / Learning from them rather than some journey man who we can't sell on for profit
If he was watching the St Mirren game, he might have noticed Fraser Kerr has the potential to be that player. An opportunity to develop one of our own into either a solid SPL player or a sellable asset. Which will be lost if O'Brien takes his place. And what will that say to our other young players...?

apparently there is a player in our squad, who has very rarely featured, who is paid more on a weekly basis than his free scoring highland counterpart
i was utterly astonished when i heard this - fair play to the player for getting such a contract, but someone at Motherwell mustve been on a crack offering those terms
