St Johnstone v Motherwell 28/10/2026
FirParkCornerExile replied to SteelmaninOZ's topic in Club Chat
Correct. We stopped playing when we scored and reverted to the kind of shite we watched under Kettlewell. Boot it long constantly and lose possession constantly. Our defence is not good enough to soak up pressure from a boys brigade team. -

Sadly we all wont live to be a 150 and a chance of seeing it happen again. -
On this day in 1950: Motherwell 3 Hibs 0, League Cup final

76 years since we achieved that, it actually should be a source of embarrassment as well as pride in the actual achievement on the day. -
I'm merely reflecting the figures that have been reported online and in the media. I realise the accuracy may end up wide of the mark but we most certainly invested more money than we've done for years , even if it was £300,000 we aint getting value for money so far. However as you say the club accounts will confirm

Far too soon to say "We signed some decent players over the summer" I think the Jurys still out on that one. The only one who consistently convinces is Lowry.

St Johnstone v Motherwell 28/10/2026

Yep afraid I cant see us getting anything , our defence is shocking and you'd be better with me up front. Our record of 9 defeats on the stoat is looming large. I only think it may turn around once we get Priestman and McGinn back , until then its "bombscare are us". -
My mate and I were saying in January we should have punted him. Even during his hot streak there were questions for us about his game but anytime anything was said about selling him in January was met with howls of derision. Next to no Motherwell fan wanted him punted in January so its kinda hard to now say the board dropped the ball.

I actually think the players are every bit as culpable as the manager and the recruitment team. We have spent £2million on players that couldn't lace the boots of the ones we've lost. The recruitment for me has been poor. Who the fuck looked at Girdwood-Reich and Mooreman and thought there is a mobile pairing for the centre of a defence that wants to play a high pressing game.. I think the manager wants to play the style we played last year but we've recruited players who can't do it. Everything we do is slow and laboured and most of them want to play it safe and play it back . The movement off the ball going forward is also suspect as is the final ball . The quicker we get Preistman and McGinn back in the team the better That said I did see an improvement today, albeit with our customary gifts. Longello and Said were very good esp 2nd half. McGhee looked solid and could potentially be a very good asset along side Preistman. What Maswanhise has done to get back into the team is fucking baffling. However whilst I see improvement I'm prepared to give AJ the benefit of the doubt for the time being. However improvement has got to deliver results and if they don't come in the next 3 games there is only one outcome. I'm not even sure a new manager would get a tune out of a few of those players we have, too many flatter to deceive. The defence is a fucking shambles and we will need to recruit AGAIN in January as sure as night follows day. A crowd of 9912 but I think many season ticket holders stayed away but were counted cos no way did that crowd look a baw hair off 10,000

Correct if ever there was a game to win dirty / lucky its today.
-
Fans will watch a winning / entertaining team , they will leave in numbers if its shite and the team are losing. Its always been the case with every team. We are facing the latter sadly. However I'm going to attach a small glimmer of hope for today in that the first half against Kilmarnock was actually the best we'd played in weeks. If we could finish we could have buried Kilmarnock in the first half. It may well turn out to be a false dawn and if I'm a betting man it probably will be. There will be no decision on the manager until end of December if a decision is being forced upon the club.

Id never miss the opportunity to see us turn over the Jambos in person. My favourite game of every season.
-
Yes
-
The fact its live on TV will make a lot of folk avoid the conditions.
-
Correct and with the game being Live on TV neither the Hibs v Celtic games or the Motherwell v Hearts games will be postponed because of wind. Conditions are better rain wise and no worse than yesterday wind wise when a full card went ahead.. The SPFL couldn't give two fucks if fans are inconvenienced or the game ruined by the wind. We've all been going long enough to know that corporate money is the deciding factor 9 times out of 10.
-
it really isn't at kick off time.
-
Same as yesterday and the full SPFL card went ahead as did the Championship. It would be strange to cancel todays card for same wind but less rain.
-
They went against it yesterday with the St Mirren game
-
The weather today is no different from the conditions that the St Mirren game when ahead in yesterday except there was more torrential rain yesterday. Ill be surprised if the game is called off. I'm hoping it is because theres no enjoyment playing a game in these winds.
-
I'm not convinced we could take a weakened Hearts team. Look what Kilmarnock got today, humped , they are pish one of the worst teams Ive seen and they stuck 3 past us, Lost 3 to St Mirren Lost 4 to Aberdeen Lost 3 to Kilmarnock Thats 3 rank teams and we've conceded 10 goals to them. A weakened Hearts team is still better than those 3. I suspect our utterly inept results will continue tomorrow.
-
The rain is due to ease off from the torrential stuff today and the wind will help ensure the park is not flooded . I think the game will go ahead but will be ruined by the wind.
-
I think our bad run will continue because we are weak all over the park.
-
Hope so, a game in gale force winds is just a lottery
-
Is East Kilbride overseas 🤔
-
ma tits are bigger 🤣

Think he meant Sunday cos thats the day of the 49 mph winds.
