The BBC commentary are absolutely damning in their assessment of us. They are actually struggling not to say Mugabi is shite. The most damning comment " Motherwell are at their worst when under no pressure"

Well we have done but we do tend to lose these types more than we win them.

Why when we take big crowds do we always fuck up. Early days in the game but St Mirren are a hard nut to crack down there. I'd take a draw and penalties now. 🫣

I think if we score first we could rattle them. We have a piss poor cup record against them that said our home record against Hibs was piss poor until Saturday. I get the nagging feeling St Mirren flatter to deceive. All the team need to be on their toes but if we score first I think we could give them a hard time. Fingers crossed.

If he'd been in 90 mins I'd consider him but a 90 minute performance it's Slattery for me. For a twenty minute performance it's Biereth.

Anyone else think Biereth playing style looks like Henrik OJama

I don't agree , first half we didn't do much but we were never in any bother. Second half we played better and controlled the game and played some neat football at times. Hibs first effort on goal was on 90 minutes , if that's us not playing well I'll take it.

How thick do our fans need to be that they need told every time he speaks.

Defensively they are. Suspect.

My thoughts exactly , Hibs will need to score in Switzerland because it's not beyond them to put two past Hibs. Hibs are bang average but our defence need to be on their game.

See Dundee are interested in signing Sean Goss.

Is anyone else bored to tears with the poverty line .. we fuckin know. can he just not say no more at the moment ffs.

We have a dreadful record against Hibs at Motherwell in the last 5/6 seasons. I got a feeling another draw on the cards. We have lost 5 of our last 9 at home to Hibs and only beat them twice.

Very Harsh. , We were worth our point , one bit of slack defending cost us. Bair did a decent job, thought Slattery was excellent. Mugabi unusually never put a foot wrong. If anyone thinks we were piss poor you are in for a hell of a season cos we will play alot worse than we did today

Of course that arent, that was my entire point. There was nothing to suggest Dan Casey would turn out as well as it did so the pile on and condemnation of Theo Bair by many of our supporters is rather strange. I could agree perhaps a two year contract is generous but can you imagine if he turns out as well as Casey and and we'd signed him on a year deal only the bitching would be off the scale. Bottom line is doesnt matter a fuck what any players history is when the come to us, their history is no guarantee, of failure or success, we take our chance and hope for the best.

Dan Casey ; "He had played nearly 100 games in the Irish league by the age of 23. In his second season, he was part of a team that finished 3rd in the league. He also represented Ireland at youth level." I stand by my assertion Casey has done next to fuck all when we signed him. Tons of guys represent their country at youth level and turn out pish and are never seen again. Also depends how highly you rate the Irish League and how highly you rate the USL Championship, second Tier of US football. He wasn't on his 5th club by the age of 25 because he was a sure bet. We will just need to agree to differ.

Can you tell us a signing we have made in the last three years that has enthused you ... 99% of the time we know fuck all about our signings because that's the market we operate in. When we signed Casey from America he had done fuck all of note now he's the people's hero. We signed Tierney under the banner of one of the Irish Leagues best young prospects and he's rampantly average. We signed Stuart McKinstry and half our support were wetting themselves with excitement and he was bang average at best. We signed Moult and again half the fans were creaming their pants, he wasn't worth a fuck. So the moral of all of this. Getting excited about a signing is pointless because they could turn out to be shite. Equally there is no point getting depressed as they could turn out to be decent.

Imagine you are 23 years old 3000 miles from home and you get a new job and everyone connected to the new company goes on social media to say you are shite....give guy a break for fuck sake. SK has said he needs developed and at 23 years old he sees something he can develop. Let's also be realistic how difficult would it be to shine / perform in the St Johnstone team of the last two years.

If you read their social media threads St Mirren fans are supremely confident of disposing of us. Id love to know what their arrogance is based on.

https://www.sportspayouts.com/football/scottish-premiership-clubs-wage-bills/ Not exactly the picture the club always paints. We are as competitive as nearly half the league in wages. To listen to the club you'd think we paid Championship levels.

Well I'd think Mugabi and Lammies days are numbered maybe even moving on, so why not.

Yes and no , the next progression from the 90s would be to win the league and that would never happen. So from that high plateau we had to regress when we became a fan owned club with a piss poor support. However when you measure how much we have regressed compared to everyone outside the OF , Aberdeen and Hearts in the 21st century our regression has been remarkably tame. Yes Hearts have been relegated in that time and Aberdeen bottom six however their overall average over the period has been pretty steady. The biggest problem has been in the last 5 years where we have taken in plenty in transfer money but have wasted alot of money on seriously piss poor managerial appointments. However because of that success in the transfer market these costly decisions have not been as fatal as they could have been. Frustrating that the money wasn't used to strengthen us on the field of play but to offset poor appointments.

I don't buy this "how poor our budget is compared to others". Our wages bill has been greater than Kilmarnock, Ross County , St Mirren and Livi. All of us very rarely spend a transfer fee so we must be competing with them on that side of things. In January we were told there was no money to change much..... we then signed 9 players. We plead the same poverty line all the time , every year and ever transfer window and I always think they over egg it. Sure we lost a million quid last year but the other clubs lost money too. We have also taken in more than those other teams in transfer fees over the last 5 or 6 seasons by some measure. I'm not inferring we are awash with cash and dont need to keep an eye on the budget but frankly some of the stuff is over the top.

I didn't think we did much wrong today. We beat what was in front of us quite comfortably. I've seen us play a hell of a lot worse.

Not for me , did nothing that would make me think he'd improve us. Again another one who'd have stared more games if he'd performed. Their arse doesn't warm the subs bench because they are indispensable.
