‘Europe’ for us is great on paper but in reality it is us playing two glorified friendlies which either end in anti-climax or utter humiliation. Give me the league cup group stages over that any day of the week.
Winning a trophy, Scottish Cup or the League Cup would be the ultimate achievement for us. We’re never going to win the League title obviously but the Cups give you that outside chance of tangible success and that for me would piss all over any ‘European tour’ and all that crap.
I've great memories of going on the European tours but it was mainly because I was seeing places and grounds I'd never been to rather than "being in Europe".
I've had just as good memories from going to places like Stranraer and Elgin that I'd never visited.
A cup win would supercede anything else for me and to get the chance to re live 1991 again would be the icing on the cake.

Always a risk when you appoint a foreign manager or sign a foreign player especially if they've got a wife and young family who haven't moved with them.
At the end of the day family always comes first second and last.

The only thing I would even consider keeping VAR for is to make CLEAR offside calls ie clear daylight between attacker and defender.
Everything else can get in the bin.

With the Cup Final not until next week, I'd have expected the contracts to run past that point. So they may still be deciding who they are keeping..
But I hope not!!
Heard from a reasonably good scource that he was telling the players today who he wants to keep and those not being offered new terms.

Maybe a farewell appearance to say thank you, means we don't risk an injury to ox also
Hope its that and Ox's finger hasn't been giving him bother.

To be fair he's not had many starts lately has he?
Which makes me think he's perhaps not on Wimmers "must sign" list.

Well done to the two people elected - but only 15 per cent of well society members voted.
Think that's more testament to end of season apathy in general.
Disappointing nonetheless.

If ever a game had 0-0 written all over its this one.
That's an improvement from your usual prediction.
Feeling OK?

I think sometimes the quality of the football on display makes it feel like we are worse than our league position reflects.
I thought weplayed some decent stuff in spells yesterday.
I think it's more of a problem with the quality of the league as a whole rather than Motherwell as a team. Its becoming a bore fest punctuated by the odd moment of brilliance and made worse by VAR.
If you read some of the other teams forums their fans are all saying exactly the same things we are and it'll probably be exactly the same next season and the season after that and the season................
Hopefully Wimmer can bring in some magic fairy dust in the close season.

When I saw the post I honestly couldn't initially remember who Calum Ward was which kinda sums up a mental season on the signings front.
Pleased about Halliday though.

In general, I agree with you. However would insurance not cover at least some of the wage costs of injured players? As for loan players, who pays their wages if they return to their parent club eg Vale & now Kaleta.
I've wondered about this as well.
I remember reading something ages ago that the insurance policy to cover this eventuality was administered by the SPL/SPFL and covered every club for a set premium each year.
Not sure if that's still the case (probably not) as I would imagine if one club makes multiple claims the other clubs with less claims could in theory end up picking up the tab.
If its the case that each club have their own individual policy then our premiums will be astronomical at the next renewal date.
Or such a thing might not even exist.
Maybe a question for the Well Society?

I predict MJC will predict 2 0 Dundee and predict we wont win another game this season and predict that we end up in the play off spot.

Copied from St Johnstone fan over on P&B.
Make of it what you will.
I don't think theres much chance we'll keep any clean sheets now tbh.
Technically only one fit CB now, whos a 19yo loanee right back. Only playable CB is trying to get used to playing with a mask due to a broken nose, then the only other defender is a left back who can't run, cant last more than an hour, and had an absolute horror show to the point we might play a right winger at left back against you.

Annan are only part time, so I presume he trains with us the rest of the week, which is good for him and us. Means he is never out of sight out of mind. Hope he has filled out a bit. I liked what I saw of him in the league cup, but it was clear he was still a boy.
All our young boys out on loan are a bit lightweight and in this league lightweights get eaten alive even if they're good technically and have a football brain. Unortunate but that's the way things are going in the SPL, brawn before brain.

We all know how St Johnstone will play. High intensity pressing game with nothing to lose as a draw doesn't help them.
Up to us to match that intensity. Whether we can is a different matter. If we can't raise our game for this then somethings far wrong.

FFS wind your neck in!
I started the topic by posing what I considered to be a very relevant and legitimate question, i.e. in the event we were to be relegated would the manager stay. I did not question his integrity or his ability. However a few of the usual twats on here jump in and put their own spin on things.Not getting at you personally mate so don't take it so hard.
Like you say it's the usual suspects I was more having a dig at who can't help turning a perfectly reasonable question into another moan fest.

It's threads like this that give ammunition to the posters over on P&B who like to look in here occasionally then point and laugh at how wild SO is.

What we need is a couple of Kurt Panzers.
The older ones who used to read the Sun will know who I'm talking about.

Sparrow just extended his contract to 2027 with the option of another year
Not bad for a player some Accies fans said was the worst player they'd ever seen play for them.

Night and day from the old regime and kudos to the WS board for all their efforts in promoting the society and club into the wider community with efforts like last night.
The icing on the cake of course would be an announcement of some major inward investment that would give us the transformation that we all want.

For as long as I can remember there's always been one player who gets singled out by an element of our support for special treatment so SOD is just the latest in a long line.
He's certainly not the player he once was but he's far from being done and I'm happy to see him in the squad as a senior figure.

On a cheerier note it was good to see quite a few German guys over watching us.
Couldn't understand why they couldn't take their drinks into their seats and had to finish them there and then😁.

Robbo complaining about shouts from the stand. Ring any bells?
Sounds like him and Ketts might have had a wee phone call to each other on the Friday night.
I love a good conspiracy theory🤔

Maybe there should be a pool of 6 managers that the Diddy teams just swap with each other every 2 seasons.
Wimmer was our chance to break the mould, hopefully we get someone in the same vein.
