Technological change and inovation is only effective when it improves the user experience, makes life easier, better,more convenient etc. I'm not convinced this ticket process meets any of those criteria for every supporter.

I see the club have announced that the game tomorrow will be available to watch on pay per view for £11.99. A great option for overseas fans etc but its hardly encouraging fans to attend matches, pay say £50 for a ticket, travel and food etc or £11.99 to sit in the comfort of your own home, aye a tough choice.

He's not managed for years , the Celtic squad is collapsing around him, Schmeichel, McGregor and Tierney are probably the only quality players he has, its a joke hes even getting involved at 73. If we are going to win a trophy again this season is our best opportunity for a long time, so Saturday is massive for the club.

Hearts have previous for choking on a title challenge, one of the ugly sisters will win the league as usual. No reason why we cant take both cups though 😀

Var has no place in the modern game, all this clear and obvious error pish they keep spouting is nonsense. The ref last Saturday saw nothing wrong in the lead up to Saids goal, he was a few yards away with a great view so no clear or obvious error so why were VAR even involved ffs. They are actively looking for reasons to disallow goals, how Far do you go back in a passage of play etc. As for the offside yesterday no lines shown due to the bargin basement system we have in Scotland, so they basically guessed it was offside, with no conclusive proof. The whole system needs binned ASAP, but if the clubs dont stand up and start complaining nothing will change.

Our current midfield is the best we've had in a good few years, not sure Spittal would fit in. If we are spending money then its a striker we need in January as we are lightweight up front.

100% this it needs binned ASAP

its the key match incident review panel, the people that tell the VAR teams that they are feckin hopeless and keep making a James Hunt of it.

Scotland's Euro coefficient is falling faster than Prince Andrews reputation, in a couple of seasons the Scottish teams will be starting at round 1 of every Euro competition in with the real diddy teams.

My thoughts as well, he was very ill advised to move to Derby, continuing down the path taken by Turnbull, and Hastie and lots of others before him.

Stop talking nonsense, for a club like Motherwell getting to a major final is massive. Yes every one we have contested since 91 has been against the ugly sisters both of which had teams far superior to the teams they have now. So yes if we make the final it will be against one of them but given the way they are both playing currently we have nothing to fear, especially from the blue uglies.

Its a doctor you need , the attempts at humour are getting worse 🤦‍♂️

Individual errors and ineffective game management as well, that's what we need to improve on, manager and players alike, learn when to go forward and when not to, if we get that balance right we will be in very good shape.

I'll never understand why the sections with the best views etc don't get sold first, the whole set up with Hampden is a shambles. Plus its only going to get worse if we make the final and have to make do with what's left after the blue or green uglies and all the corporate freeloaders have been accommodated.

I agree, but for me 3 points is the only result, we have thrown away too many points so far, its a bad habit that needs to stop.

You rattled MJC,s cage and he stood up to defend his big team.

Given the position we have been in some games and not seen them out to collect 3 points , yes I think our overall form has been poor in those games.

Calm doon and wring yer pants oot, if we are in the same position with 8 games to go it might be a relegation battle but now its just poor early season form.

Not losing goals is the secret to winning games, we have been scoring but our defence, and goal keeping have let us down.

Correct right from the start of the 2nd half they were pressing higher up the pitch and in our faces quicker that said we should be coping with that as every team we play will do the same so we need to defend better. As I said in an earlier post its about getting the balance right, ie knowing when to play out from the back and when to take the long ball option and clear your lines.

Spot on Dave, the main criteria for any team is winning games, you get no prizes for playing entertaining total football, and losing, if we had shitfest our way to a 1-0 win yesterday the vast majority of our fans would have went home happy. The new style JBA introduced is a welcome change from what weve had in recent seasons, its good to watch, creating chances etc, but unless we take those chances and then know how to protect a lead effectively etc etc, its all for nothing. At the moment we are not getting the balance right, the midfield is doing its job but defensive errors and limited firepower up front are starting to cost us, so I hope JBA can get it sorted, if he can we can then enjoy the great football and a winning team.

It was bad today, but a defeat 8 games in is disappointing its not relegation form.

That was a feckin disgrace today, 1-0 up at half time when it should have been at least 3 and we turn out a feckin brutal 2nd half performance and gave 3 points to a team that done feck all and never looked like scoring. A shocker of a performance, we are weak in midfield when Slattery is out and still lightweight up front.

If the money had been spent on Hampden for a proper upgrade, ie bringing the west and east terraces closer to the pitch to improve the view then yes it would be worthy. But as the SFA have been a shambles for years, too busy making sure their own interests and expense paid jaunts all over the world are sorted first nothing ever gets done. So year after year thousands of fans are paying for a ticket at the front of the east or West stands to get a severely restricted view if at all of the game.

There is no real need for the semi finals to be at a neutral venue, just play them like any other round of the cup, and keep Hampden for finals only.
