A decent enough game. The quality of our ball in the final 3rd was what stopped us getting 3 points. To slow getting forward to support some great position out wide forcing our players to check back and dither on the ball. Great goal from Manwanhise. Said off the scale frustrating today, great build up play but caught in possession far to often. We didn't win as many second balls as I would have liked. Longello a shadow of the player we had in first 6/7 games. Just was outstanding as was McGinn. A point a Easter Road is never to be sniffed at.

Aberdeen can sniff all they like. Surely Welsh justs says nope not going there.
Aberdeen trying to be relevant. Basket case of a club. They spend plenty with no real planning or style.
Why do football fans suspend employment reality when it comes to players. Doesn't matter a fuck if Aberdeen don't have a manager or whether or not he flops. If someone offers you a 3 year contract on 10 grand a week you won't worry about fuck all else. This fanciful notion that players are motivated by places in the league, chance of European football really is suspending reality. Look at Jake Hastie took the chance was utter shite from the minute he left us but laughing all the way to the bank on the back of a 3 year contract with Rangers.. If Aberdeen want him and they are bidding with us it's extremely unlikely he would choose us. Happy to eat humble pie if Welsh is the first player in 20 years to take lower wages just cos he likes where he is.

Exactly - so the non-native speakers have to try and translate their half baked questions.
There are no foreigners who speak English would ever dream of saying

Unlike those in this country who get a decent free education and don't see anything wrong with those grammatical howlers. If you are Kris Boyd you can add "Rangersies" to that glorious list, e.g. "Rangersies troubles began" instead of "Rangers troubles began". It is even worse from him as he is getting paid good money to sound like an illiterate buffoon.

I sort of think this could be the toughest game of the season tomorrow. Hibs aren’t a bad side and they are performing quite well at the moment. There’s no way we’ll do what we did to them at first park and with a full house it’ll be a tough gig especially without Watt.
id be happy getting a draw tomorrow as I think that’d be a great result.
if however, we come away with a win….. I think this could persuade me we do have a chance of winning this league…. No harm in me dreaming
I agree his will be very tough. However I'm reassured by the fact absolutely no team has dominated us this season in the league home or away. Our record of late at Easter Road is none too shabby. If Watt doesn't make it, as expected, this could be pivotal. Had he been available I'd go into this game with a degree of confidence without being cocky.
-
McCalls a cock and the fact he misrepresented what Askou said led to a pile of from other pundit dumbfucks. All Askou said was we played a game to stop Hibs creative players getting forward forcing Hanley to play a game that's not his natural game. He never said Hanley was pish, we just made him play a game that's not his normal role. It was media nonsence.

I wasn't quite sure what to make of his presser. Some positive comments and he's happy with us but no clear denial of interest. Maybe just me.
Every manager and player could end speculation instantly if they had no interest in another job offer. They just offer bland word salad and that's what Jens did on that question
Folk who read anything into the I'm happy here comment ask yourself the question would any manager / player ever say they didn't like their current employer ? No they wouldn't so anyone looking for reassurance that he's staying you are onto plums.
Doesn't mean he's going , doesn't mean Aberdeen or Celtic will make an approach but you can rest assured if they did he'd go and listen to what they have to say ,as is his employment rights.

STV news reporting tonight that JBA is allegedly the bookies favourite for the Aberdeen job 😱, so flow might have been on the phone.
Bookies odds mean nothing other than punters taking a flier. They are rarely indicative of anything based on fact. Although I'd be amazed if that diehard Motherwell fan Burrows hasn't been on the phone to screw us over.
-
I doubt Celtic will rush an appointment, I think they will bring ONeill back to see them until the seasons end. If JBA leaves us it will not be mid season.

And I'm discussing the fact that lots of people on here and over at P&B have our manager and half the team out the door already.
No they haven't, wild exaggeration

Sometimes it feels like our fans are more keen for our managers and players to leave us than even the OF slanted media.
last time I looked its a discussion forum to discuss football topics and Aberdeen punting their manager is a topic that would generate discussion , particularly when the media are already mentioning our manager. For the life of me I cannot see any posts on this discussion reflecting a desire for our players or manager to leave .

Alex McLeish? Derek McInnes?
There could be some gentleman's agreement in place for all we know.
All that said, he may not be interested at all.
The fact that clubs chose to let an approach take place doesn't mean they have to and in cases with our managers and the contracts we have all the refusal does it prevent the manager leaving mid season, any departure would merely be delayed 6 months and that's what we should do should an approach be made.

No-one should be shocked at Thelin being sacked. After yesterday's result it was odds on. Have they/will they approach JBA? Who knows. Will he approach them ? Again who knows. If there is interest from either side then our Board will have no say in the matter. Thats not to say he would be interested, but money talks and he could double or treble his salary with them.
Time will tell. The first test of his mettle.
Anyways he can't leave for both Celtic and Aberdeen.
If it came to that which I don't think it will the club most certainly can do something about it. They can refuse permission to speak to the manager .

I'm sure he is on a 1 year rolling contract
Correct. JBA won't be leaving mid season. Could I see him leaving in the summer? Most certainly if we continue going as we are. Whether that would be Aberdeen is debatable.

Rumours on P & B that Callum Hendry has picked up a serious injury; hence his absence from today's squad. Add to that Stama being on the bench and Sule's return to WBA, and you do get the feeling that moves are afoot to bring in another striker.
Even if we didn't have those issues I'd have been amazed if we are not looking to bring one maybe two strikers in because when the manager would rather play with no strikers than the two we have tells you all we need to know. Henry and Stama are not the answer.

That's a noisy rumour to have got to Oz
Our players will be interesting many clubs , its the nature of the game but the Daily Ranger and The Sun need to build it up into something it isn't to appeal to their base customers..

On a totally unrelated matter. Has anyone else noticed the improvements in the Fir park floodlights. Night games shown on TV used to have dark spots all over the pitch but now its really bright and clear. They must have upgraded them.

Strikers are more expensive. So at least £5 million. He has pace which is a big bonus in modern football.
No way hes in a £5 million bracket. If we were offered £2 million that would a good offer.

They announced it as 800 odd I think, about 6,950 'Well fans which is quite astonishing but totally deserved given what we are witnessing on the park.
7934 crowd, 800 Saints fans , 7134 Home fans truly incredible when you consider how stagnant our crowds have been for years. Average home attendance for the season now 7989.

Our home crowds are increasing for the first time since the 1990s as far as I can see!
It’s great to see and appears that us playing attractive football and winning matches regularly does help.
They make me eat my words every week. I said last week we wouldn't get over 7000 home fans this season and there you go 7100 home fans. Absolutely incredible to think the last time we had these crowds was when John Boyle took over and was throwing cash about like a man with no arms and the catastrophic consequences that has.
Thoroughly enjoyed that game again today but it still rattles my chops that that pile of shite won a trophy this season. They are garbage and there was no more a Robbo masterclass as there was in the semi final.

Wednesdays attendance was 11435, 4500 away fans, hospitality hoching with them but I’d reckon 6000+ Well fans.
home support on Tuesday was 6635. The away stand holds 4800, there are Motherwell fans in hospitality too.

I think he only did a job on us because of that first goal they got (which they shouldn;t have because the free kick that led to it wasn't a free kick and was also taken from the wrong place). After their opener, we had to chase and that gave him the chance to do stuff he couldn't have done if it was still 0-0 and we had to leave ourselves a bit more exposed in search of the equaliser, which kinda made it easy for them. I think people give too much credit for their 'tactics' in that game. Their tactics are just what they normally are, batter the ball up at two big guys and hope it sticks or you win a second ball. If the dubious opener hadn't been allowed, his tactics would never have been discussed. Cunts ! I will never give them credit for anything !
100% correct. Robbos such a master tactician if we win on Saturday they are 18 points behind us.

Need to disagree I thought he was one of our weakest players. I'm not saying he was dreadful but a shadow of the player we saw at the start of the season
