Correct, I hear so much pish about that semi final, the Robbo Masterclass, St Mirren playing us off the park. Its bollocks. The only people who beat us at the semi final was ourselves. St Mirren played as they always do nothing special. As bad as we were we just didn't turn up but we still had more of the game than them and created as many chances and fluffed them.
If both teams play to their potential we will win because we are a better team than Dundee in all departments. The level of consistency shown by Motherwell this season is off the scale and I have never witnessed it before.
Thats why the fatalist in me approaches every game thinking "we must fuck it up and play pish this time" and the fact we are at game 24 and it still hasn't happened is truly remarkable.
Even the Aberdeen game I can't get the thought of "we will make an arse of it" out my head and I get annoyed at myself because Aberdeen are fucking honking and again by any measure we should take care of them on Saturday.
The conditioning Motherwell does to your brain over 50 years would baffle any psychologists. 😂
The first half yesterday just oozed class. We were exceptional. 5/6 up would not have flattered us. Second half we became a bit more erratic without being poor. Our passing accuracy rate noticeably dipped in the second half however we were never in any danger at any point after the first 2 mins.
The usual suspects outstanding again, Just, McGinn, SOD, Said, Fadinger, Sparrow of special note however no failures anywhere. Very enjoyable day in East Lothian... Onwards to Dundee 👊
Expect a tough game on a horrible surface. A relegated team invariably gets one shock result a season just hope it's not us tomorrow. Based on both teams season so far it should be a straightforward win but being a Motherwell fan I never discount any situation. Just had a look at the ground map and looks like we are taking a really good crowd .
Not for me, he was bang on, these fuds ask the same pathetic questions every week and one thing is I don't think he suffers fools gladly and quite right the Scottish media are full of shit stirring zoomers
Motherwell are the best team in the league, no one absolutely no one will convince we aren't. No team has dominated us in the league and no one has deserved to beat us. However sadly too many draws have killed us for the League title. Even the semi final I don't buy this pish it was a Robinson masterclass. St Mirren were just St Mirren they had 4 efforts on goal and scored all 4 we had 4 and scored with one. Even then we dominated possession and killed ourselves more than anything St Mirren did. We gifted them a 3rd that killed us otherwise they were sweating with 15 mins to go - inc extra time It could have been quite a landmark season but for a wee rub of the green.
In the mix I think is highly unlikely but I think if we won our next 4, which I also think is unrealistic, we certainly would be in the mix.

I think it comes down to the offer. If it was £2 million. Could we possibly make that with Europe and a good cup run, yes possibly so it's worth knocking back. If the bid was £4 million would we be likely to make that with a cup run and European Football? Highly unlikely so that offer becomes worth it.
Football doesn't work like that, say he takes a wage cut, highly unlikely, gets a serious injury with us, career ruined. What then for him?
Players cannot play fast and loose with a short career. Imagine Jake Hastie had stayed with us and became the pish he is. He wouldn't have had a 3 year contract on 5 grand a week to soften the blow. As it is he should be comfortably off even though his career came to fuck all. Players have to live for the moment.
