Before the game is the only time you seem to be able to get a pie these days, Kiosk in main stand ran out of hot water FFS !! so no Bovril. In house catering seems to be run by a bunch of amateurs

Never mind the Bad referee and Hatley's shit penalty we got the tactics wrong from the start, Why was Forbes on the pitch for 90 mins, he contributed nothing ? We would have been far more effective with Gow, Jennings and Humphrey in the middle with sutton in front of them and Blackman and McHugh up front a sort of 4-3-1-2 formation. Everybody in the ground could see Forbes was worse than a man short so why did Broonie and Knox not see it. Every time the ball went forward nothing stuck, Sutton is as slow as a week in the jail but he wins the ball in the air, and that's what we were missing.

Agree 100% it's about time we pumped this mob, bring it on

No surprise there then, the whole world knew on Wednesday night what the draw would be, "the old firm kept apart" again, you could'nt make it up, there are dark forces at work here

very sad news, i am old enough to remember him playing he is a true well legend

5th Feb 2011 is Scottish cup R5, and 12th march 2011 is Scottish Cup R6, 26th March will probably be the CIS cup final, which hopefully we will be in.

Dont know what instructions the East stand stewards had on Tuesday night but i saw them confiscating the beach ball FFS !!! Since the club outsourced the stewarding we seem to have nothing but Jobsworth fuds on duty. I have E-mailed fir Park about them, particularly after the Celtic league game, but i am still waiting for a reply . Maybe we should be raising a complaint to the supporters trust and let them raise it with the club

If Jennings is out along with Lasley we will be a bit light in midfield, but i still think we will be strong enough to beat Accies, our recent record against them is good especially at Fir park. If Murphy is out it might be the time to give mcHugh ar start as he has a bit more pace up front than Sutton. The midfield could then be Humphrey, Hatley, and Gow, with Sutton playing in front of them, for an unconventional 4-3-1-2 formation

No i thinks its Rangers turn, we had Celtic in the 2006 Semi

We all know what the draw will be anyway its the " keep the old firm apart routine " so i predict we will get Rangers.

Dundee untd were very poor over the 2 games, nowhere near the side they were last year, and as for goodwillie he is a whinging little W**K who you would not get tired slapping

We missed Murphy's pace up front when he went off, Sutton is ok in the Air but he is as slow as a week in the jail so hope he recovers quickly. On the same note we are missing Lasley in midfield as well, so i hope he gets fit quickly

I believe that i was the guy you are referring to, Houston deserved all he got, it says a lot about the state of our national team when all the assistant coach has to offer is kick the ball as hard as you can up the park and everybody chase it, him and levein are a pair of Fuds

Taking at least 50% or more of the points on offer for each of the 3 sets of 11 games will put you in with a decent shout for a European place, 3 games to go in this round and i am expecting a minimum of 7 point from 9. That would give us 20 points so repeating that form each set of 11 and its the Europa league again

If its true then i think its a great move for Motherwell, nice new Oval stadium no big empty corners please, a proper footie venue. The ravenscraig Arena !!

Been looking at various posts on this thread and i have never heard so much sh*** in my life. I am all for having a good atmoshpere at games and supporting the team win or lose, but do these immature wee arseholes really think that setting off flares and smoke bombs makes the atmoshpere any better ? All it does is get the stewards and police on your case and means that every where we go after that we will be treated like shit. We are Motherwell a provincial club in Scotland with an average gate of under 5,000 its not Galatasary, Panathinaikos, AC Milan, etc etc so 10 or 20 people with a flare just looks ridiculous. Get behind the team sing, shout, wave your flags etc but feck off with the flares etc and respect the right of the vast majority of the well fans who dont agree with them.

What the team is crying out for is a strong midfield player, time after time Celtic just ran through our midfield yesterday. Jennings, Hatley and lasley are all defensive mid, we need to get someone in who can win the ball and get forward to create chances for the forwards.

I cant believe how many people seem to think that standing at games is a good idea. I am old enough to remember some of the Sh**e holes i used to go to to see motherwell,some of the grounds were downright dangerous. Does anyone really want to go back to those conditions ? If Hillsborough had never happened then we would still be turning up to Fir Park to stand on the Red ash terracing, old railway sleepers holding it up, brick enclosures with no roof as a toilet, etc but still paying todays prices. Lets be honest about the atmosphere at Fir Park, its no different to any other ground in Scotland or England for that matter, listen to the crowds at Old Trafford , Stamford bridge, Anfield, or Ibrox or parkhead and the vast majority of the time its all very subdued. The large crowds only make it sound a lot better. Scottish football fans don't have a great tradition of creating hostile environments at matches ( we used to specialise in creating hostile atmospheres out side grounds ) on the scale of the Greek, Italian or Turkish clubs fans. So trying to suggest that everyone standing and singing etc to create a better atmosphere would have helped the team last night is nonsense. We were beaten because we are lightweight up front and dont take chances.

We dont want to get back to the days of spending more than we can afford on past their best players. We need to build a team and i think that given some time CB and AK will deliver a good side. That said there needs to be some investment in the team, a few well placed experienced players to back up young team ie Murphy, Forbes, Saunders, McHugh, etc. If we can get some good loan deals or unearth some good talent from lower leagues, ie Randolph then we will do ok. I have to agree though that if we still had , Coke, JOB, Jutkewitz, etc then we would have gone through last night.

Brown and Knox have been great for motherwell, great bit of business by john Boyle getting them onboard. They are respected by the press, fellow managers and coaches not just in Scotland but in Europe as well, they get respect from the dressing room so all told it can only be good for the club. We will make the leap forward in Europe one day, hopefully before i am too old to enjoy the trip I hope we can now build on the Euro campaign this year and have another good season, and another shot at the Europa league next year.

I have never heard so much shite in my life, " no singing or passion from the POD stand " had nothing to do with the result last night. We are out because we could not convert loads of good chances against an average team, and missing penalties against 9 men !! Jumping up and down and acting like a dick wont help the team, i am a season ticket holder in the POD stand and there is no lack of passion at any game, so stop making ridiculous posts blaming other well fans for the result last night.

Judging by most of the posts on this topic, 50% of the Well fans must stay in all night watching Gok Wan on telly What a load of Crap, does it matter what you wear to the footie, all that counts is that you are supporting the team. Although if all the well fans looked like and wore colours like Rosie from Corrie then supporting the Well would be great

Football is expensive to follow and not everyone can afford to go to matches but i still think a season book at Fir park is a good deal. If you go to every home game then you are actually saving money buying one. You only need to look at the ticket prices in England and at Celtic and rangers to appreciate how reasonable the prices at Motherwell are. Granted the product on offer is not as good but the simple fact is that sucess costs more. If the Well do the business tonight and get through to the group stages then you can be certain that the prices will go up, big name team at Fir park, more demand for tickets etc etc.

Has anyone managed to locate an Off sales selling cheap drink in Odense, its nearly 2 hrs on the train back to copenhaged

Its usually only open on Sat and Sunday mornings on Matchdays so you might be struggling. Plus most of the staff will be away in Denmark, so it might be closed till Monday
