It's looking like a draw. Aberdeen too good for Thier poor run to continue.
Falkirk on 18th October looks our best chance of getting a win. If we don't have league win by then it's a worry.
Aberdeen at this moment in time are pish. Utterly dreadful. We should be looking to heap more misery on them. Their defending against Dundee Utd was fuckin dreadful and if we had our shooting boots on last Saturday we would have beat them 3 or 4 -1. If we lose on Saturday it will be because we didn't perform not because Aberdeen suddenly become good.

Jeez not exactly cheap prices plus the £20 for bus is steep. Will still be there though
With the OF playing in the other semi final and the gate money pooled it was never going to be cheap.

Just watched it and thought they all came across very well. Was curious what the infrastructure developments the chairman was referring to. Said more details would be released as soon as definite developments. Anyone any idea what they are.

Welsh and Said.

Before the transfer window I fancied us in both games against Aberdeen because I thought Aberdeen were pish.
On paper I thought they'd strengthened significantly in the window. So my natural slant towards pessimism I thought the cup tie would be a step to much for us. Thankfully it didn't turn out that way.
I was always more hopeful for the home league game. If we can play as we can , and to be fair that's better than we played on Saturday, we should be able to get 3 points.

Indeed, I get no satisfaction whatsoever seeing other provincial clubs doing well, it just annoys me that it isn’t us.
On a completely different note, should we manage to win the league cup (a very, very tall order I know) we can do so in the knowledge that we don’t get European qualification as a result. For me personally and from what I’ve seen from your posts that is a big positive! We win a big shiny domestic trophy and we are spared the embarrassment/damp squib that the European ‘award’ would inevitably bring.
Happy days eh! 🏆
You are correct mate European Football leaves me completely cold.
Couldn't care if I never saw another European game ever again. Although I accept if we have a great season, which Id always want , that comes as part of it. Id never spend a single penny going abroad to watch a European game again Seen it done it , the novelty's past and our efforts in general have been dismal in our 38 outings.
Happy to say I was fortunate to watch our best performance away (Dortmund) but all the rest, other that Odense and Nancy, have been a whole lot of nothing in my view. The money is a bonus I know but I never started supporting Motherwell to watch a balance sheet. I watch for excitement , drama and decent football and European football , for us, has produced very little of that.
I don't expect anyone else to agree its just a personal opinion. For others who love it, great lap it up, if it arrives.

Speak for yourself.
If St.Mirren are in the final I certainly won’t be cheering them on.
If we can’t have our ‘day in the sun(even though it will be mid-winter)’ then I don’t want any non OF club to have theirs.
Completely agree imagine if St Mirren win 2 major trophies in the last 15 years No way would I want that. A team we wouldn't have seen in our way over the last 30 years. Ours will be a real hard tie to win St Mirren are no mugs

With the quality we have in the team and a little bit of luck I could see us winning the cup. The OF are as poor as I can remember and realistically no team to fear. I'm not saying it's likely but it's certainly possible and I really don't care who we get in the semi final, id rather face the OF in a semi than in a final tbh.
Re needing other strikers , this is where we all see the game differently. We have more than enough forward players in our ranks. As for AP I don't think he's playing poorly, I more see a guy who's lost confidence. He did well yesterday to square it for RCC and had a very good then a very poor header.
He just needs a couple of goals to get going. He also needs better service. Appreciate not everyone see's it this way but that's the beauty of football and these forums.Whilst I think its extremely unlikely, what you can say is that from St Johnstone and Aberdeen in the Cup and 5 league games we have been the better team in every game. I can't remember a time where I could say that about a Motherwell team facing hard opponents.

Wish I'd had the option of a semi on my stag do.
😂😂 Me and my mate got a two hour dispensation to watch the game. If you could have seen the looks of folk when me and him jumping about the pub like 5 year olds singing "oh Motherwell, oh Motherwell is wonderful.." Perfect start, now for day two and a liver transplant tomorrow...
OH MOTHERWELL, OH MOTHERWELL..... IS WONDERFUL.

If I'm hones I just never saw that coming. I couldn't be more delighted, the project remains on track a big crowd guarenteed and we really should have won that 4-1 even though probably one of our poorer game. Take nothing away from Motherwell but Aberdeen are absolute push. To think how they were creaming their pants over their their transfer window activity.

What kind of stag weekend are you going to? 🤣🤣
One that will test my falling capacity for Alcohol
One that proves I cant hit a golf ball
One that proves I've got double vision on a pool table
One that proves I have some of the best mates in the world
And hopefully one that sees my team going to a semi final 🤣

Our recent great play has to bear its rewards at some point so hopefully we get a repeat of the 1st 62 mins of the Hearts game, but not the ending and we book ourselves another day out at Hampden. I'm going for a win for the Mighty Well a semi final at Hampden and edging Thelin closer to the exit door at Pittodrie. ( no alcohol was consumed in making this post).
I hope you are right. Got a stag weekend in Glasgow this weekend , me and one of my mates have been given a 2 hour pass to watch the game hopefully I won't have my face up my arse for the rest of the weekend. 🤞🤞🤞😂

After hearing JBA’s pre-match presser, I’ve got a feeling it’ll be a tactical deadlock and end 0-0 after 90 mins. I imagine Aberdeen fans will be thinking the same given their start to the season.
I'd quite happily take our chances in a penalty shoot out if offered now. I just have a horrible feeling that because Aberdeen cannae score in a barrel of fannies they might get two or god forbid three against us.

I just can’t see JBA’s Winless Wonders breaking the duck at Pittodrie in a knockout cup tie. If we are going to win either of the Aberdeen double header then it will be next week at Fir Park.
Nice to see the light blue ‘Craig kit will be getting an airing tomorrow though.
I have to say on this one I share your likely outcome. The very fact Aberdeen haven't scored a goal in 5 league games gives me the fear. I still bear the scars when Aberdeen came to Fir Park having lost their opening 7 games of the season had scored one goal and beat us 6-5. Probably the only highlight of the Aberdeen fans season where they finished in the play off spot.

This post unfairly singles me out. Since our last proper interaction on 30 March 2024, when you sent unsolicited private messages that I ignored, I haven’t engaged with you in any meaningful way. Referencing me here now is misleading and inaccurate. It’s also concerning that you keep dragging me into posts without reason. Frankly, I'm pissed off that your nonsense post has forced me to directly engage with you again.
For the record, on 30 March 2024, here and here, we had a bit of a public back-and-forth, after which you sent two private messages. I ignored them and have deliberately avoided debating you since.
Your forum behaviour follows a clear pattern. Personal experiences and private matters are brought into football discussions as a defence whenever someone disagrees with you and then the unsolicited private messages start.
Stop involving me or making false accusations in future posts.
I put this lady on block a year ago because I was fed up with the constant victimhood when things don't go her way. She chips away at people opinions like picking a sore and if the discussion gets to the stage where someone is giving as good as they get, and she has no answer, the tears and snotters and victim card are played with relentless monotony.
So far easier for me to put on block , she could do likewise to people she doesn't like or agree with or as has been suggested, if abusive, report. But no we get the full on drama and flouncing away , no doubt to return in a couple of weeks . I would also respectfully suggest if you cannot handle other people opinions and some rather robust opinions a football fan forum is not the place to be.
Anyone may call me anything they like , I might not like it , I might not agree with it but I'll forever defend your right to say it.

Ive had a look on the club website and I dont see anywhere that this information is listed.
Its been a frustration for sometime and not something we have been very good at since Flow left.
I get that some of it is private medical information and thats down to the player themselves, but I dont think it would be breaching any confidences to state the basic nature of the injury and timeframe for return.
Of course it could be down to managers not wanting to give opponents too much information in a bid to keep them guessing.
From what little I know or can glean from other sources the list looks like this....
Robinson - Achilles - October
Stuparevic - Knee - Long term
Nicholson - knee - unknown
Sule - unknown - unknown
Sparrow - muscle - unknown
McGhee - thigh - unknown
McGinn - unknown - unknown
Stamatelopoulos - shoulder - unknown
Slattery - unknown - 5/6 weeks
Hendry - unknown - unknown
For a club our size, thats a lot to contend with......
McGhee has picked up another injury that requires surgery and won't be back until next year.

Hope you ok Well girl. I'm saddened to see that affect on anyone. Maybe you could get help if your struggling. I respect you and think your posts are decent. I hope you don't let anyone get you down to extent it looks like it has. As you said. You don't know them , and they don't really know you. It's easier for people to be more extreme in conversation when they are anonymous to extent. Keep spirits up.
It's also easy just to block people that irritate you.

One worrying thing for me is that two managers, McInnes and Presley have changed things at half time and we have struggled. After the first round of games all managers will have had a close look at us. Let's hope JBA is able to adjust our way of playing if the opposition has sussed us out.
The Hearts game I'd agree but even then they'd have lost if it wasn't for two glaring keeper errors. . Dundee not so much. Sure after the break Dundee had a 15 min spell where they dominated but we took control again and Manwanhise and AP should have scored after that slight Dundee resurgence. Dundee had no possession / attacks of note after that post half time 15 minute burst.

I dont think he has had a real run of games until this season. Last season he came in with no pre season, got injured twice then broke his wrist.
We have what we have until January. If his record doesnt improve by then, I will maybe concede he needs moved on. Until then we need him to contribute until Hendry, Osong etc are fit enough to push him for a starting spot.
Im happy enough that Maswanhise will get us enough goals to keep us out of trouble, but we need someone to lead the line and at the moment Stama is it.
We do need to stop shipping gsoft goals though. Its great that we do that mostly by just keeping the ball, butnit would be great if we didnt concede pretty much every time we give away cheap possession!
I actually thought our style of play of playing it our from the back would result in a few more silly goals but it hasn't. The goals we are losing has nothing to do with our style of playing out from the back it just rank bad defending and goalkeeping.

My take on yesterday is that the road infrastructure around the "Queensferry Crossing" is a total cluster f**k.
Left home at 1.15 had only reached the outer appraches of the bridge at 2.30, turned around and came home.
F**k you road planners.
Its was shocking and the road works into Dundee were horrendous. Traffics at a standstill . Those parking restrictions round the ground are a pain in the arse too. I left East Kilbride at 12.00 to try and avoid the nightmare parking and got to Dundee at 2.15. A journey that normally takes me 1.30 taking 2.15 .

Enjoyed that again tonight, just proves with the style we play patience is a virtue. Thought Aberdeen had best chances first half but thought we dominated the second half. Anyone hear what the crowd wad tonight.
