Just watched the highlights and it looked as bad as the score line suggests it was, we were feckin awful, not sure we could have done a lot for their 4th christies finish was top class, and i am not convinced the 5th was a pen minimal contact at best. But the other 5 goals oh dear what a feckin shambles defence wise, the only happy moment i took from watching was the comedy gold moment supplied by Lasley, our resident geriatric midfielder...WTF was he trying to do there

Wring yer knickers out, yes we got well and truly pumped by a much better team than us, but we will not get relegated for as strange as it sounds there are worse team than us in the league, and for all of McGhee's issues he will keep us up. People need to start getting real regarding just what they expect from Motherwell, and the budget we are operating with, Top 6 / mid table mediocrity is what we should be aiming for, a decent cup run would be a bonus. We all enjoyed the 6 or 7 seasons when we were up there finishing 2nd and 3rd with a European adventure thrown in, it gave me one of my proudest moments as a well fan in Athens watching the team run out to play in a champions league qualifier, but that was a unique set of players, circumstances and basically spending money we did not have that got us there but no more, its time to wake up and smell the coffee.

why all this worry about what an ex shite player said who gives a feck, lets worry about the players we still have.

He gets stick because he's lost what pace he had and is now constantly chasing games and as a result our midfield constantly suffers. He is done but until McGhee sorts it out the and gets a replacement in then we need to put up with it.

All this comparison of individual tackles is begining to degenerate into classic old firm whataboutery, we know scottish refereeing standards are shite, we know complaning to the SFA or adopting the Celtic stategy of "seeking clarification" is a waste of time but we done it any way, so lets move on and start worrying about the footie again.

So he can be a great player for us only going forward into space on the right wing and nothing else....aye hes a real asset to the team, and you wonder why he hardly gets a game, sums him up to a tee.

Two of them on the park would still be well off the pace and chasing the game for 90 mins. Its time we replaced him he is done.

Do you think now hes signed for a new club he can afford to buy trainers that match

Just another glaring example of how much of an incompetent tosser Dallas is as a referee.

The only error Mcghee made today was starting Ainsworth he never looks interested and contributes feck all to the team he can GTF any time for me. The rest of the team looked ok but all i would say is that when Lucas and Pearson came on we looked a different team the midfield actually started to compete so heres hoping they will start every week.

Crap he fucked up big time watch the replay on Tv McHugh wins the ball as clean as you like, arguably a booking for the follow through but never a red card.

stats for cross balls..FFS you need to get a life or get out more.

Just make them watch the video of this game,12 years ago today thats all the incentive they need, happy days. @spfl: ⚽ | #OnThisDay 12 years ago @MotherwellFC beat @JamTarts 3-2 (AET) in the League Cup semi, Marc Fitzpatrick with the 120th minute winner!

2-1 Louis Moult get in there

I have seen a few different angles for Skippys challenge on Miller and its at worst a yellow not as bad as Kiernans but with collum in charge we knew what was coming. As for the sectarianism i agree its a horrible atmosphere when either of the ugly sisters are at Fir park but we can complain all we like the SFA will take no notice and do feck all as they are shit scared of upsetting Rangers or celtic.

If you are going for one of the young ones in defence i would pick Vivian he would add a bit of fight into them

I see Theo Robinson scored for Lincoln today against Brighton to put them in the last 16 of the FA cup.

Samson for me, thought he had a good game and some fine 2nd half saves to keep it respectable

So given the fact that the club has no money who should we be signing ? We would all love to be reading that Motherwell have submitted a 5 or 10 million pound bid for a top player but thats not the world we opetate in. The English and Scottish lower and non league sides are our market so we need to try to find another Moult or Johnson

Its a great idea and should have happened before now, Lasley is done and when he plays he ends up constantly chasing the game the same goes for Hammell both of them have had their day.

WTF has McGhees commute to work got to do with the players stammina are you suggesting that the dont try at training unless he is there? And bringing on Mcmillan never killed the game our midfield being utter pish and the rest of the team sitting back and letting Rangers pass us of the park killed the game.

Agreed we sat back and let them come at us which was only ever going to have one outcome. Miller is Rangers only threat and time after time he was not picked up so it was no surprise he scored. But that said Rangers were the better side from the point skippy got sent off we were all over the place so as much as it pains me to say it they deserved the 3 points.

Fair point we have been unlucky with McHugh he got a bad injury but i am still to be convinced by Clay seems he has more bad games than good and as for Lucas he seems to be permanently injured. with McHugh back things might get better but only if Clay steps up to partner him.

Said it many times Lasley is done but successive managers have failed to see that we desparately need to strenghthen the midfield so until we do he plays and more often than not the team suffers for it, the same us true for Hammell at left back.
