And Brendan is raging. Dribbling on about VAR and referee decisions. Even better! After the way he was all smug and condescending about us rightly being aggrieved about the decisions in the 2017 League Cup Final and the game at Fir Park the following Wednesday I will never, ever tire of seeing this arsehole being gutted and getting a taste of his own medicine. Choke on it Rodgers.

The Aberdeen result was pretty hilarious too.

And they have had 14 pens this season!!!. Aye conspiracy theory.....good boy Brendan....move on 😜😜

Sorry that is just not true. EVERY football club in Scotland has passionate and loyal supporters. Hearts being from a large City and being fairly successful just have more of them than say Partick, Kilmarnock, Motherwell etc etc etc. In the same way that the Old Firm have more fans than Hearts. Even that pair have passionate and loyal fans amongst their numbers. And that will be the same Hearts fans that were booing the team and Naismith all match long not that long ago. And in no small numbers.

I just love Faddy ( don't tell Mrs Grizzly). He defends our team to the limit and you can see how much the well means to him

It has been brilliant and love fact old firm never lose a game fairly, always hard done by. Brings back memories of growing up in Hamilton. "So..if rangers played Celtic who would you support?". No one....I am a well fan. "Aye but if you had to pick a team".....,no one....I am a well fan. "Aye...but who who would you want to win?......NO ONE!!!!! I AM A WELL FAN!!!!!!!!! 😜😜

Rodgers is an odious prick. Get it right up him.

Aberdeen are giving off a “too good to go down” Hibs under Butcher, vibe. We need to add to their pain in 2 weeks time.

Hearts / Hibs is the same sad sectarian shite we get in the West but on a much smaller scale the bigotry and bile is still there. Rangers. fans portray themselves as the sons of William, the Gorgie hoardes are the cousins of William. The Edinburgh backside is not as big as the Glasgow one but two cheeks just the same.

Certainly a much better pundit than Neil McCann, his classic yesterday was "The result at Tynecastle tomorrow will go a long way to deciding who is top of the League come Monday" Sherlock + Shit + no, please rearrange into a coherent sentence.

Classic Faddy last night on sportscene as he scored winner on boxing day 2002, last time we had beaten them in league..."I've lost my hair since then......twice" 😅😅

Just in from a gig tonight in a local boozer and watching the highlights. Every bit as good watching it again. Only one tune you can play to kick off a pub gig tonight. Twist and Shout ! Some punters didn't like it. I was delighted 😄

You have the option to put him on ignore if you so wish. If not, then leave him be. If he oversteps the line the admin will deal with him.

I’m delighted that Kettlewell is the one that gets the biggest of monkey’s off our backs and secures his place in Motherwell history. In some respects, today didn’t come as a huge surprise to me as Kettlewell has shown time and time again that he can set up a team to compete with Rangers and Celtic and today he got his just rewards. The fact we’ve done it against an ‘in-form’ and slightly cocky Rangers makes it all the sweeter. He’s not had his challenges to seek this season and having battled his way through the budget constraints, the injuries, the loan-recalls and the off-field uncertainty, I get the impression that he could go on to do well at a higher level. Whilst he came in for understandable criticism between Oct-Dec, the players never looked like chucking it. I think that speaks volumes for his credentials and I think that run itself will stand him in good stead for the future. In the meantime, he and his players have delivered the result I’ve wanted more than any other over the last 20 years.

We certainly weren’t today, anything but. After 21 years of failing to beat Rangers in the league, almost 27 years without a league win at Ibrox and over six years since we last beat them in the LCSF I genuinely believed that we would never beat them, or Celtic, ever again. I dare say I wasn’t alone in that. But today we have and it was absolutely epic. After all the years of “they’re there for the taking” and “it’s the worst Rangers side since bla, bla, bla we’ll never have a better chance” and us always falling short plus the hard luck stories of last minute missed penalties, goals wrongly chalked off, cue the patronising and self assurance that we played well but were so unlucky etc, we have FINALLY taken three points and left them with nothing. Today was a long, long time coming and I hope that every Motherwell fan is thoroughly enjoying their night tonight.

Loves Hearts, wants Rangers to win the league, talks down Motherwell at every opportunity. Burn the witch !!

Nobody cares. But you do seem to get off lauding them at any opportunity. (You also know their victory song)

Followed by which school did u go to ?

I particularly remember him snidely scoffing at Alan Burrows showing footage on his laptop to the press of McGregor artfully hooking his leg around our player (can't remember who for the moment) to get a last-minute penalty to scrape a draw against us, a re-run of their pen today against Hearts. Oily, smug and insincere are the nicest things I can say about him and a guy who couldn't get down the M74 fast enough when Leicester came calling. Gerrard was the same but both sets of their fans think their team is the pinnacle of football and should get absolute loyalty. Looking furrit to the match with The Sheep. I heard a podcast this afternoon from an irate Dons fan demanding Warnock be sacked and Neil Lennon installed right now. Let's hope they don't because, whatever you think of him, he might just do enough to pull them away from the danger zone.

The patter in the dressing room from him should be interesting on Monday. Not sure we could get him permanently as he's quite highly thought of at Ibrox apparently and probably on a decent wedge but you never know, they might look to put him out on loan again and the prospect of first team football is a strong attraction (unless he's out of contract??)

Delighted that hearts won today as well, really p1ss off both sets of their fans. It’s the only thing negative about beating one of them is that you get messages from the other set of people expressing their delight and how you’ve “done them a favour” It’s always spinned around that us beating one of them is for their benefit. I can’t stand it. it’s always about them. It’s nice to go into work on a Monday with the two of them beelin and how a conspiracy of referees has done them over. two cheeks of the same ar5e!!!

I feel exactly the same, I like Kettlewell, ok his interviews are a bit turgid and buzzwordy but I feel like that when I hear anyone under the age of 40 in a management position. i think he’s getting the best out of a bunch of average players. He’s also improving them as players and importantly, it’s obvious to see that they are working their ar5es off every week and not hiding. I’ll always forgive players limitations when I see that. (It’s also obvious SK works his ar5e off too and wants to succeed) i think back on our so called better managers and they all had better players to deal with, more money to spend and I’m pretty certain none of them would have been able to get a tune out of this group of players. Yet under SK we still have a big chance of making the top 6 and at times playing some really good stuff. I’m sure at some point it might all come crashing down as it does with every single other manager, but at the moment he deserves a bit of credit. Good luck to him.

I was firmly in the 'keep him' camp, partly because of the way he got us playing last season, which looked like carrying on after the back to back wins against Hearts and Hibs. The St Mirren Cup game we were awful. Losing to Rangers and Celtic were both sore ones because we played really well and the league loss to St Mirren after playing them off the park and the loss to Livi when Miller got sent off just seemed to flatten the teams confidence. The bad run then just went on and on, but I think it was obvious that the players were still trying and working hard and there was absolutely zero sign of people 'downing tools' and all these draws (i understand a lot of them were games we'd think we should be winning) are ultimately what kept us out of the proper shit. These periods we were picking up 4 points and the likes of county were picking up 1. I'm delighted for Ketts and the players that we seem to be coming out the other side of it all now. I'm old and have seen many many bad runs with Motherwell teams over the decades. This one just seemed different, basically because we didn't have players walking about heads down and shrugging shoulders and clearly not caring. Onwards and upwards......

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.

We'll never know how good Kettlewell could be unless we stick with him. We'll never know how good a new manager could be unless we sack him. Nobody has a crystal ball, but I'm for giving him the chance to make mistakes and learn, because I don't see where changing managers every season has got us, or anyone else.

That wouldn’t have been very hard would it.

That comment about his hair, was superb. Had a right "belly laugh" at it.

Any Motherwell Manager who has us better than 9th, has the team playing for them and has some form of long term plan should be considered a good manager. Played 51 games under SK now win rate is 40% draw 30% losses 30% Fair to say most if not all Motherwell mgrs will lose 1/3 of games over their tenure. Appreciate we had a very poor run but no different to many other recent mgrs. Hammell, Alexander, Robinson, McGhee. I'm a firm believer that we need to get back to having stability with managers with a long term plan who we stick with, avoiding knee jerk decisions.

Turning over Rangers at Ibrox wearing a kit with a sash has a certain ironic appeal, I feel that I can now get behind! 😉

The guy’s been on good form the last week, told his co commentator to shut it when he suggested Rangers or Celtic should sign Lennon Miller last Sunday, said on Wednesday that he should be left to continue his development at Motherwell for the next 15 seasons and topped it off tonight saying he had lost his hair twice since Motherwell last beat Rangers in the league Also, he’s had more faith in the manager and squad than most of us on here this season.

James McFadden. That's the post.

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.

I take back everything I said about you ! I love all Motherwell fans !!!!! 😍

Well, NAE BOTTLE, AYE THAT'S RIGHT. Wonder what the doom snd gloomers will say COYW

No matter what the final result is or what the usual suspects say, we have played bloody great today.

I'm glad he has pulled us through that bad run and proved many of us wrong. I wasn't calling for his head but I wouldn't have complained if we had sacked him. For a club like ours, we can find our success by bringing people in and making them better, and that should include coaches and managers. Unfortunately that means we have to deal with the mistakes. Results shouldn't be the only metric we measure a managers success on, and as someone said above, results and performances need to be taken in context. At no point have I got the impression that the players weren't playing for SK, or that there was unrest in the dressing room, outside of having cage matches in training. There also wasn't that funk that sometimes kicks in (a la livingston) where they just accept losing. This summer is going to be massive. SK has made his mistakes in recruitment, which he has hopefully learned from, and he has now got the squad to a place where he can really put his stamp on it in the next window.
