Sorry Ya Bezzer But you said something that really annoys me. It's commentator speak " defended well enough to just about get over the line". We didn't defend well enough to just get over the line, we got over the line. It bugs me every time I here that rubbish spouted on TV, now were getting it on our forum.

The only plus about this is that if that twat Thompson is refereeing a Motherwell game, we can all make some money with the bookies, betting on a red card and sending off.

I think most people can see where the problem is, it's up front. Some games they have not got great service , but when they have, Main couldn't hit a barn door from 3ft, and his pathetic free header against St Mirren just sums it up for me. He should be rested for the next three months.

All the previous posters who mention the fact we have nothing up front are 100% right, that will be one thing that will keep us down where we are. We cannot rely on getting our goals from midfielders or defenders. Yes we will get some as young David Turnbull has proved, but not enough to win us every game. Curtis Main and Ryan Bowman work hard, but they don't have the composure or belief to score goals at present. It's also my understanding that David Turnbulls' contract is up next May, so the priority at present should be to get him tied up for the next three or four years.

Isn't McHugh suspended?

You can't blame Bigi, when 90% of the time the ball was flying over his head. So gave him man of the match. 5 out of 10. the rest, especially Main, were pretty hopeless.

I'm sorry but Main is absolute dross at the minute. Hasn't shown anything in the games I've watched, and needs to be binned.

At least we didn't sell him to a rival club, and we knew he would go at some point. So a good bit of business all round.

I thought the team as whole played well, with one exception. Carl McHugh is trying, but he doesn't think quickly enough, and then rushes passes to the opposition. I would give the guy a rest in next game, as he won't be in the one after that.

Sorry but Mr Dallas Jnr is a person who, because of his families support of Motherwell, bends over backwards not to appear biased towards Motherwell, and ends up being a total arsehole, by giving Motherwell no leeway whatsoever, whereas, as has been pointed out, didn't't book Lafferty, or send of No 66 for a two footed tackle near the end of the game, but books two Motherwell players for their first tackles. You imagine him chalking off the first goal, if it had been Sevco or Celtic. No chance! I will be happy if he never referees a Motherwell game again.

Don't even know why we have guys on here saying £325k and he'll be away. I know the player would want a big pay day, but we have the trump cards in this situation. The player has 2 1/2 years of a contract to run. We don't need to sell at this point. There's only 24 hours left in the transfer window. So tell Celtic it's £1m and if they don't want to pay that. Fuck off! I would be extremely disappointed in Alan Burrows and the board if they were contemplating letting him go for anything less, and I would seriously consider getting rid of my shares and my Well Society membership.

Tell Celtic to F*ck off unless they offer £1m +. They suck the life out of other teams in the same league, and then complain about the lack of competition. They are scum of the lowest order.

The seats in the East stand are for Motherwell supporters, so surely they can sit where they like within that area.

What we need is the team to be set up correctly in the first half, and not at half time. The number of games where we have been poor in the first half of the game and gone behind, only to come out in the second half with substitutions and been a whole lot better is quite astonishing.

I have to be honest and say that the weakest link in the defence is the left back. That has been obvious for months, his distribution is poor, and any right winger who cuts inside him will get past him. So OK he has a bit more pace than Steve Hammill, but Hammell is a much better passer of the ball, and has a great deal more experience. If it were me I'd be looking to give Stevie a run out, can't be any worse.

The one thing we have to do against Celtic, is be right in their faces from the kick off, same as we did to Aberdeen in the quarter final. If we allow them space and time there will be only one outcome. So lets intimidate them from kick off. COYW.

I think we have to drop our captain. In the games I've seen, he wants too much time on the ball, and try's too many fancy passes across field. He need to get back to basics, and look for the easy pass. The number of times he tries passes that never come off, is ridiculous.

I was fortunate to watch one of the best Motherwell teams to win nothing" The Ancell Babes", and Bert McCann was one of that famous half back line Aitken Martis McCann, and in later years played golf with Bert. McCann, when the former players played at Wishaw. A really lovely articulate gentleman. RIP.

No use in getting lots of crosses into the box, when virtually everyone of them was either overhit or underhit. It was shocking the number of wasted opportunities, when nobody was wide at the back post, to pick up one of the crosses.

I'm in the opposite camp regards the hooped socks. I think there horrible, would rather have plain colour, otherwise the strips look OK.

I'm sorry, but the points that guy has lost us, could get us relegated. We can point the finger at the defence as well, but if your a defender and you know your keeper is not coming off his line for anything, even in the 6 yard box, you have to go for it, hence why we have individual errors being made, and we have a lot of scrambled goals against us. As someone else commented, the other goalkeepers must be rank rotten.

Question....Have we played the same eleven players twice? Seems to me we have never settled on the same team selection since the start of the season.

Goalscorers at any level, are at a premium. Nothing less than £2m or they can go and take a hike!

I thought for his first game Campbell was excellent.

The problem for me is, if we put up season ticket prices, as far as I can see, it will only make some people think twice about buying one, and once they decide to not buy, the chances of them coming back are pretty slim. So this just makes the problem worst. To survive the club have to either put up prices again or offer less salaries for players. It would be nice to think, that they could reduce prices by 5% and gain 10% more punters, but I won't hold my breath.
