From the shortlist of potential managers we had GA was my preference as well, and so far he is doing what he was brought in for, to steady the ship and keep us in the premiership. He had to to work with the players he inherited so we won't really get to see his full impact until he can clear out the deadwood, dross and loan players and rebuild the team in the summer to his own ideas. A good few players will stay but we need to see who he brings in so the summer rebuild and the first few games of next season will give us a better idea of how he works and if his appointment was good or not, so far the evidence is positive and another win or two, will see his 1st objective fulfilled.

Doing the job they are paid for ie upholding the current law would be a start, they are shitebags, if it was 3 drunk fans singing at closing time there would be vans all over the street and 4 polis for each of them

Looks like the marching season has started early, it's a feckin national disgrace that the police are not only allowing that but assisting blatant law breakers with an illegal unsanctioned parade. Others will look at that and say why should I bother with the lockdown rules when that mob don't, lives may be lost due to that shite we have seen today.

The police are standing watching them blatantly breaking current legislation and doing feck all, so no change there its a disgrace. I don't think it will affect the rest of the season, but I am sure UEFA are watching and Scotlands chances of playing in the Euros at home in front of the Tartan army are probably fading fast.

I think killie would suffer more if it happens, Accies are a premiership club in name only, shit stadium, shit pitch, hardly any fans, perennial strugglers, they bring nothing to the top league, so dropping down to the championship would really not bother them.

Kind of thought that as well, probably a lot of Rangers fans made a few quid on the draw or home win.

So much for 8th place, you can rely on Celtic for feck all these days.

1-0 would leave them on the same GD as us-16 Don't know if they go to goals scored etc, but 2-0 puts us above them.

If Celtic win by 2 or more goals tomorrow we go 8th, so your charity might be on a winner

Campbell for me he was brilliant today, never stopped, special mention for Magloire he was solid all game.

He would have been judged on here if he had joined us and rightly slaughtered for 1 point from 6 games I think, a bullet dodged for us.

I would rather have wins for RC and Aberdeen which would isolate the bottom 2 , the fewer plastic pitches in the league the better, plus Dingwall is a good away day

Accies are 1-0 up

In recent games yes they were, we seem to forget how to play in matches against them.

One of the greatest players Scotland has ever produced, and one of our own, local Motherwell boy, same class at school as my mum. Never saw him play as just before my time but a true Motherwell and Scottish legend, sad day for football.

Excellent post, as I have said the whole affair stinks, but Gallagher only has 7 games of his Motherwell career left, and then he is fair game for all the criticism he deserves in the former players thread, I wonder if the opinions of him will change then.

Not so sure about 5th place getting Europe Scotland will now have two sides in the UEFA Champions League Qualifying Rounds. The winners of the Scottish Premiership will enter from the Third Qualifying Round and the second placed team in this season’s Scottish Premiership will enter from the Second Qualifying Round. In the Europa League, there will be one place granted to the winners of the 2020/21 Scottish Cup and the club will enter into the Third Qualifying Round of the competition. The clubs who finish in third and fourth place of the Scottish Premiership will enter into the newly created UEFA Europa Conference League from the Second Qualifying Round. The only way I can see 5th getting Europe is if any of the top 4 win the cup, then 5th might get the cup place, or 3rd gets the cup place and 4th and 5th get the conference league spots, but I can't find any info confirming that.

Their bubble has burst and their season is effectively over, a top six finished secured so no threat of relegation, and they won't get near the European places so nothing left to play so the performance level might drop. All of which should favour us and if we continue playing as we have done the last 2 games then I can see a good win for us.

1- He is out of contract in the summer so we will get nothing for him. 2 - His commitment to the club has to be questioned after whoring himself to other clubs, specifically celtic during the transfer window, 3- I firmly believe there was a extension clause for at least another season after this season, so this seems to have been removed and coincidentally he is fit again and ready to play. 4 - As I say the whole episode stinks, he no longer wants to be at the club, and that's not the kind of player we need right now. He wants to be in the Scotland squad so will he be fully committed to Motherwell throwing himself into tackles etc and risking Injury, I would like to think so but I have major doubts he will be.

According to the BBC gossip page yesterday's appearance triggered his contract extension "till at least the summer " was the phrase used, so either his original contract was only till January or the original extension, for however long was scrapped. The whole episode smells of shite, so for me Gallagher should not be starting games, stick to the players from the last 2 games and use him as a sub if required.

Did you notice the over zealous high viz clad wee jobsworth prick steward in GA's face when he got sent off, wonder when the SFA started employing match stewards as 4th officials

3 points would be great, but would settle for being hard to beat and another point to keep us moving in the right direction.

You get away with being huffy and moaning faced if you score goals, as is the case with Morelos, but continually turning out and contributing next to nothing game after game, your attitude and ability will be questioned.

For me Long is not interested in being at the club, his attitude is questionable every game he plays, as you say he has had plenty of chances to show what he's got, but it never happens.

Are you a part time advisor to the Crown office as that might explain why they are making such a James Hunt of the Alex Salmond conspiracy.
