Just spent an hour looking through St Mirren Hibs Aberdeen St Johnstone threads and if you think the negativity in here is bad you should look through the ones above. They all want their managers sacked as well funnily enough. A bit of luck today with the Livi penalty claim as it could easily have been given considering the amount of decisions that went against us during the game. Given and it would have been goodnight Vienna but we must have been due a break from a referee at some point. I'm happy to see what transpires during the close season and reserve judgement until then. Hopefully he realises that winning games is important but you've got to have the fans on board with you as well.

A good friend and neighbour of mine. I'm gutted and my heart goes out to his family.

Lot of new chat on the St Midden forums on P&B that he's in line for the CEO/COO post there. Started a while ago when he was seen round their park and explained away by the fact he was watching his boy who plays in their youth system but has grown arms and legs since then.

You just need to look at the dogs abuse he was getting from his own fans on the long walk up the stairs of the South Stand on Saturday. Lots of unhappy bunnies in Paisley. (Sorry about the animal references).

Think that was a bit of satire on your username rather than a personal dig.

They'll do a high press, high tempo in your face game like they usually do at home on their shit surface so we have to match that.

Can I make my mind up on that at 4.59pm tomorrow.

Think you're right on that but regardless, I just find the timing of it all a bit strange. Maybe nothing in it other than the press getting hold of the story via the players agent or something like that. Have the 2 clubs mentioned anything officially?

Heard he told GA his tactics were shite (or words to that effect)

Agree, you just need to look at the players faces during a game when they're looking over at the dugout, thinking "whit the fuck are ye daein".

Just for once I'd like us to start a game full thunder and try to get the first goal and put pressure on the opposition to open up a bit and make the game at least mildly entertaining for the fans.

The papers are waxing lyrical about how competitive the League is outside the Old Firm whereas I look at it as "fear football" with teams set up not to lose rather than try to win games which is not conducive to silky football. Yes it's competitive with no meaningless games but by Christ it's mind numbingly boring and looks like continuing in that vein for the foreseeable future.

I kinda left the game thinking at least we got a point which isn't really what you want to be saying to yourself after a home game against Dundee. If we had won I probably wouldn't even be thinking about the game. BUT I've been watching Motherwell for 50 odd years now and I can't remember ever looking for excuses not to go to a game but the current tactics are severely testing my resolve (and my neck muscles). Don't think it's just a Motherwell thing tbh as most teams are serving up the same kind of dross in their own style but the standard of football in general in the SPL is absolutely dire at the moment.

It's in the teams own hands. 2 winnable games at home with the crowd and a decent result behind them. Confidence must be high in the dressing room. They won't have a better chance to get a top six finish so time to show us what they're made of. COYW

Considering it had been pissing down most of the week and the groundstaff would have been mostly keeping off the surface to protect it and most likely weren't able to use the usual maintenance machinery, I thought it was in great condition given it had just passed a 10am inspection.

He at least looks interested and wants to take a man on and have a shot at goal even if it doesn't always come off.

If you look on other teams forums, notably Hibs and Aberdeen most recently but every other team outside the old firm at some point this season, they're all pretty much having the same issues and discussions that we're talking about so it's just not us. This is the poorest quality of League I can remember for a long while

Shuggie Shuggie Swing on the bar. Happy days

6'4". Hard as f**k That'll do for me

Heard we're looking at someone from exactly that place called Andy Zoff A real speed merchant apparently who can play across the front 3

Think we're missing big Bevis's height at the back as well. Big centre winning a lot of balls.

Well your view must have been different from mine but at the end of the day I think we can agree that we have an element in our support we would be better off without especially at away games.

Spot on Was sitting in the front row at the time when it whizzed past my left ear.

A 400 mile round trip ending in disappointment. Will give the team the benefit of the doubt and put it down to a bit of ring rustiness but I hope 50 yard diagonal punts to Woolery is not going to be a regular feature. Apparently 180 seats destroyed by Celtic fans was the reason we weren't in our normal spot behind the goals.

Totally agree. Haven't seen a player yet with a poor first touch that's gone on to develop one. That's the 4th time I've seen him this season and sorry, not a player I would spend transfer money on. If we got him on a PCA and squad wages(assuming we were still interested) then fine but otherwise nah.
