With them to face at Easter Road I think we need 8/9 ahead at the split to be sure. They've got Kilmarnock and Aberdeen and we have Falkirk and Hearts. I suspect the gap will be less than 6 going into the split.

Really piss poor from both teams , draw was about right, better point for us than for them. Only highlight we didnt get beat.

🤣 Think we might be related today

Oh so do I but it would be just so Motherwell to play the best Football any of us have seen in 60 years and end up 5th.

Yip 🤣

Being Motherwell and the fact a win would very near nail 4th place I fully expect us to play well ..........and lose.

Exactly his stock and that of the players ae sky high, that is why they will be taken from us. Any notion that we can hold on to players playing as they are and the manager are fanciful. At the very most JBA will be with us one more season. The only way he wouldn't leave in year two would be if we were pish at which point interest in his would drop.

Because as much as Tommy McLeans achievement was outstanding fort much of his 10 year spell were were poor relegation / bottom half fodder. It was only in the later part of his rein that the team turned into anything. special. Therefore for much of his 10 years no one was desperate to get him as their manager nor sign most of our players. The minute he did achieve he moved on and the team was broken up. Tommy McLean completely endorses my point. Tommy McLeans Team positions from 82/83 82/83 8th 83/84 10th Relegated 84/85 Relegated in 1st Division 85/86 9th 86/87 8th 87/88 8th 88/89 9th 89/90 6th 90/91 6th 91/92 10th 92/93 9th 93/94 3rd Tommy McLean left for Hearts June 1994

No other result other than a defeat is coming in this game.

You are being ultra optimistic. Clubs like us are rarely allowed to maintain success because the minute we are successful our players and managers are taken from us so just like every other season we will be faced with a rebuild. So any notion that we will build upon success year after year if quite frankly unlikely for a club of our size. The ambitions are laudable but the chances of it building into a trophy wining team are remote.

success in terms of silverware will always be a longshot because as soon as clubs like us get success the manager and players ae taken from us. That is why its so infuriating when we fuck up when a tournament opens up for us. Rangers and Celtic will never both be as bad in the same season for many years to come. So therefore Id bite your hand off for just one more success before I die and if that trade off if eye bleeding shite for a season I'd take it. That is not to say I don't support and enjoy what were are doing . The question of "what would you take .a great season or relegation and a cup win.." was always a hypothetical , its never an offer that will ever be presented to us.

Yeah but the damage has been undone , Silverware is permanent form and status are fluid.

We need to be up for it to keep Hibs at bay. They play Livingston while we play Celtic so we are realistically going into a head to head with Hibs with only 4 points between us.

Ive never been in the camp that we could win the league , you just needed to look at our remaining fixtures before today and we' realistically needed to win 9 of our remaining 10 games. That meant winning at Celtic Park, Tynecastle , Ibrox , Easter Road and Celtic and Hearts at Fir Park , In no world was that EVER going to happen.

as I said a view that suggests any team that doesn't win deserves to lose and I just don't accept that. We will just need to agree to differ.

So by that theory every game you don't win you deserve to lose? don't agree. Dundee didn't deserve to win today.

Silverware is permanent , form and league status are transient.

We were a bit off it today but fort the life of me I cant believe folk saying Dundee deserved to win. They had two efforts on goal and scored with both. One being an absolute gift. By any measure of all statistics today we didnt deserve to lose even as below par as we were.

Correct it wont change , just a pipe dream. I don't do quirky 😆I prefer symmetrical stadiums that don't look like they have a different style stand for each day of the week, like Fir Park and Pittodrie.

For me Its an eyesore and completely out of sync with the rest of the ground. Same as Pittodrie's beach end. If we are going to develop the ground lets make it look like a decent venue.

Good update from Kyrk Macmillan. If I had free reign and limitless money to upgrade Fir Park, I'd fill in the corners , remove the top tier of that South Stand Monstrosity, New Main Stand and new roof on the East Stand. The filled corners could compensate for the loss of the top tier of the South Stand

Motherwell are a business, its not their responsibility to ensure local pubs remain profitable and stay open. Motherwell need to look after their own finances. I take the point on transport.

We should be incorporating better bars into any new stadium so folk don't need to walk from a pub and not putting that valuable money into the club. Anything has got to be better than the piss poor Cooper Bar that currently operates a one in one out policy if you don't arrive 2 hours before kick off.

Just looked at the Dundee ticket sales for the away end, it's looking good, think this will be an impressive away support. For anyone who hasn't been in a while beware the peaking restrictions. https://share.google/JbPt9BoP15hhagOEc

I agree Fir Park is a money pit and anything that lessens the money we have to pay for ground maintenance is welcome , as is the chance to have very good corporate facilities and avenues for raising more money 7 days a week, something for which Fir Park seems limited.
