  1. We all know unless SK walks away he's in charge for the rest of the season. From being in a decent position before Christmas it all went wrong since then, yes there are mitigating factors re injuries etc, but SK needs to stop the rot very soon as we are only 6 off the playoff spot now. It's not going to happen next week against Celtic but we need to find a settled shape and style soon, making 4 or 5 subs every game hoping something will happen is bullshit. I'm not 100% certain SK will manage it and there are signs he may be losing the dressing room but where we are just now 2 or 3 wins will make all the difference so here's hoping he can sort it. As ever its where you end up in May that matters so with 14 games left to play, 42 points on offer, this could still end up a decent season.
  2. Nah that was done on Wednesday, probably the union bears training for another rampage in Manchester last night, Scotlands shame.
  3. The SFA are shitebags, they won't want to upset FIFA and UEFA by binning VAR in case they lose their cushy committe postings and freebie trips. I would love it to be binned, it's ruining the game, but I can't see it happening, unless the ugly sisters want it dumped, then the SFA would join in.
  4. Good article about max Johnson Johnston's rapid rise from Cove to Champions League - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c3d5k83ml25o
  5. Maybe not explosive, but it was an honest assessment of how much of a shambles we were on Saturday.
  6. A Football managers job is results driven, you could be the nicest man on the planet, all the players, fans, board etc think you are wonderful but if you don't get the results you will be unemployed. Yes there are mitigating factors, re injuries etc that hamper his team selection but he has shown no sign of learning from his mistakes, changing the way we play to suit the players we have available, and basically competing in games. Yesterday was a shambles from the kick off, no shape to the team, no desire to compete and get forward, no leadership against a team who to be honest are brutal, hardly scoring goals, and who had not won in 9 previous games. SK has shown he is not able to respond in a game, change the tactics, play players in their best positions, etc, we need a manager who can.
  7. I thought that as well, and cut him some slack re injuries etc but not any more. We have no shape, no discernable style of play, just players booting the ball long and hoping something will happen, but it never does. For me SK has run his race, and it's time for him to go, I know it won't happen the board and the WS need to grow a set 1st but we will be bottom 6 soon, can't see us getting relegated but that's about all, even avoiding the playoff spot is not guaranteed.
  8. Did you ever go on any of the European adventures Athens for the champions league, Katowice, Dortmund, Nancy were 4 of the great ones that will be long remembered, so much better an experience than a predictable loss to either of the ugly sisters in a final.
  9. I've criticised you frequently for wanting him out, and up till now I was cutting him some slack, with all the injuries we have etc but after today no more we were brutal, big support up and we shat the nest big time. So for me his time is up, he needs to go.
  10. We might not have consistency on the park, but we do in our signing policy, McGhee should fit in nicely.
  11. No, we had the once in a career season from Bair, paid nothing for him and Robbed Auxerre of £1.6 million selling him on
  12. Three words describe Motherwell this season, Sugar or Shite, not consistently bad or good for any sustained period. Considering the injuries weve had so far, SK has never had the luxury of a full squad to select from, but as we are only 6 points off 3rd place, 4 clear of 7th, 16 clear of the relegation spot, 8 clear of the playoff place we have done ok so far. A bit more consistency, a few weeks of just sugar and this could be a very good season.
  13. It certainly won't be the SFA or the SPFL pulling the strings, they are just talking shops , quite happy to take all the freebies and trips abroad, but will do nothing to actually improve the game for the better in Scotland.
  14. Archie Mair announced loan till end of the season https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Val51TH5fM5Z6mVIMS2p/371
  15. That's the problem, Gordon jumped but the Killie player made no attempt to get the ball by simply bending over and " making a back " as you put it he effectively brought Gordon down hard, on his head/ neck so for me it's a foul for us and a yellow card, every time, maybe even borderline Red depending on what mood VAR are in for endangering an opponent.
  16. MJC finds it easy enough, it's a defeat every week from him.
  17. Dont flatter yourself , your obsession with SK became boring a long time ago.
  18. Indeed as usual whenever we are looking for a new manager Valakari will be the first name quoted, I'm glad we ignored him.
  19. Wellfan must be having a lie in or back to work I'm sure the posts will appear at some point.
  20. The only relevant stat you need to worry about is Motherwell 2 - Aberdeen 0, the rest is meaningless drivel.
  21. I agree but it should have been a lot more comfortable, Nicholson's miss was a shocker, as always we defended too deep, but the shot off the bar apart we seen the game out well.
  22. Only 18, listed as a forward / central mid, current Welsh u19 international, I'd be happier with a more experienced player but he's at an English championship club so he must have something about him.
  23. There was nothing wrong with Hearts goal, Oxborough made a complete mess of it, came to claim it from the corner and missed, then tried again and flapped at it again getting nowhere near the ball before it dropped to the Hearts player.
  24. Craig Gordon not making a fantastic save at the death would have seen us taking a point we really never deserved, 94 mins of shite from us.
  25. Good shout, thanks id forgotten about the Tram 👍
