The point was if we could finish 6th. If Falkirk get 9 points, Hibs can only get six. We have a better goal difference than Hibs but big score lines allow them to go above us. Hibs beating us 3-0 is a swing of 6.
Knew I was missing something 😳

MicInnes' half time talk must have been "c'mon lads, don't forget Rangers are mince"
Hearts weren't that good, again, but they get the results. Rangers were utterly abysmal.

In theory we could but thats extremely unlikely. For that to happen, Falkirk would need to win their 3 remaining games; we'd need to lose all 3 heavily; and Hibs would need to rack up large wins over us and Sevco.
Its not going to happen.
Falkirk are 8 points behind us if they win their last 3 and we lose our last 3 they are one point ahead of us, why the talk of big scorelines. Am I missing something? Very unlikely but mathematically possible.

We are stumbling towards the finishing line, and I'm not overly bothered how we get there. It would be satisfying to do it under our own steam but I'd be equally happy if Hibs hibs it for us. That said, it would be great to get a point or three in front of our own fans.
A draw between Falkirk and Hibs means Falkirk can't catch us and leaves Hibs 5 behind us. I expect us to lose to Hearts so Hibs face Rangers and we face Celtic with Hibs 5 behind us. If as expected we both lose to the OF we are 5 points ahead of Hibs in the head to head with 4th in the bag. I don't want to go to easter road having to get something.

5 ex and 1 current. Declan Gallagher concedes crucial penalty as SK steers his team to automatic relegation. Uncle Roy won't be happy.
6 managers in two seasons and 40 players on decent money this season. Roy is actually a big part of the problem.

If Jens stays then a good chance we might be able to retain most of squad but I would look to get as much as we can for Maswanhise
Agreed, I think the big Norwegian and McGhee could be big players for us next season

If JBA stays, maybe Slattery does too. And surely the club can now afford to offer him a new deal on improved terms to reflect his importance.
Not if a Championship club or Div one club down south offer his 10 grand a week. Which is very possible.
-
Re Slattery , he used to annoy the hell out of me before his injury I thought he spent too much time getting involved in needless fouls however since coming back from injury he has shown real creative ability and has deservedly had a lot of praise. I think Slattery's departure might see Jordan McGhee nailing down first team starts. I'm interested to see if he was as good as Dundee fans thought he was. Any time he has come on he has looked promising.

stays like this we beat Falkirk next and Hibs lose to Celtic next 4th is pretty much done busted .. fingers crossed. Still cant believe Hearts could win the league I don't rate them.

Well now it’s over, I loved it. Was close to going for a walk and just wait to see final score. My stomach was churning the whole secomd half.
LOL....I switched off when it went to 2-1 . I switched back on in the 88th minute. Timing is everything.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this the first season since 2002/2003 that we have beaten both halves of the Old Firm in the league?
I think you might be correct.
-
What a result, really expected us to fold and at 2-2 thought we were on course to. Needed that with Hibs currently winning.

Dammit
Here we go
It was ever thus. I expect us to lose this now.

Keep playing the same way and keep taking our chances.
You can put your mortgage on Clancy giving them something at some point we need to get more goals to win this.
-
You will just never see a better performance from any Motherwell team at Ibrox in your lifetime. If we continue to dominate them Clancy will get involved and give them an assist. We need a 3rd to see us out but long long way to go.

They wont be sweating at all as they will do feck all, nothing to see here, move along now.
And they wonder why they get critisism.
you are probably right but the club must surely be withing its rights to ask for an explanation why no action is taken.

Why if he was worth that in January he's worth that now. Hibs probably didn't think they were getting 6m for Bowie. Aberdeen got 6M for Miovski and 4M for Ramsey. We can get 4-5M for Maswanhise. He's 23, plays for his National team, scored 17 in the league. We need to get proper value for our players.
Who says he was worth that in January? those figures were media guess work.
Personally I think he is technically suspect but that is just my personal opinion. I just don't buy the hype. He's a good player but for me he's not a £4/5 million pound player. Sure he's scored goals so did KVV and Theo Bair.
"We need to get proper value for our players".... of course we do but we will only get what someone is prepared to pay and for me I just don't see a £4/£5 million pound bid coming for him.
The close season will tell who is right you or me.

Glad too see we're not over reacting to Maswanhise's dip in form. I did say I would have sold in January as that was where he was going to peak valuation wise.As I've already said if Hibs are getting 6m for Bowie who had scored 8 goals we have to at least get 4-5M for a guy who's on 17 league goals and 22 in all comps.
we wont get £4/5 million for Maswanhise.

This should have the SFA sweating. The Falkirk player falls down holding his face with zero contact.

For me we signed Maswanhise and Ward for no fee. If we could get say total of £4 million combined for pair of them then its great business and you give JBA half of that to spend
I think Maswanhises value will have reduced considerably since January. He's was over hyped in January but equally we don't want to over hype the other way with the drop off. If we got a bid of around £1 / £1.5 million for him Id take it.
Sadly I think we will lose one of Watt and Just , possibly even both if the bids were high enough, which would be a real pity. However this gives us a chance to see the managers transfer skills to find players that would fit his style. Thats if he stays of course 😱

He was a one season wonder, that we cashed in on at the right time.
Correct and I'm starting to think we should do the same with Manwanhise
-
See Theo Bair has been loaned out to Swiss Club Lausanne Sport. 6 goals in 13 games a decent start but unsurprisingly he didn't have it for the French top league.

There is a ‘ceiling’ which shows how good we actually are. And we have shown time and time again this season that we aren’t capable of going above that ceiling.
When it has come down to the crunch we have consistently fell short of showing that we can compete with and beat the stronger sides. Obviously that can be countered by pointing to the Celtic game at FP in December, and understandably given the way we dominated them that night. But to counter that Celtic were at their worst point in decades with a manager who was clearly miles out of his depth and who was sacked less than a week after that game. I don’t mean to take anything away from how we played that night but that was clearly a factor.
As it stands heading into the split we are in a good position. We are in the top six and that is something that would have been seen as laughable if anyone had predicted that before the season started. But we can’t just go on what would have been “acceptable” or seen as “beyond our reach back in July/August”. The season develops and perspectives change and we have gone from getting ourselves into a great position in mid February to utterly whimpering our way to 6th place come the end of the season.
And…that does not mean that we have had a bad season or anything of the sort. It’s just that we have had a season which had the potential to be so much better than it has ended up.
It’s more frustrating that disappointing.
I agree with some of that but I do not accept that today Hearts were the better team. Up until the penalty we were in no danger Hearts were creating fuck all while we squandered several decent chances. Over a season any team that ends up above you has been a better team over the season but that doesn't always mean in the head to heads they've performed better than you. People will argue til the cows come home whether it was a penalty or not but had that not been given Hearts were not winning that game today.

I agree with you, but we dont really have a big physical team. So its no real surprise we are shite at set pieces.
Jens isnt obviously sign any hammer throwers, but it would be nice if we could get a couple of signings in close season that could play football, but were 6 foot plus and/or had a bit of bite about them.
Commented at the game today when was the last time we scored from a corner. Our set pieces are very poor. However that is still a hard one to take. We were never in any real danger until the penalty and oh my fuck Maswanhise !! what a fuckin shocker

They needed to win at Tynecastle and they did. They ain't that great but they get results when it matters so afraid I'd disagree on this one.
