Even better if they sell Calvin Ramsay by then. He's been one of their best players any time I've seen him play.
They have been utter garbage tonight

Just watching St Mirren v Aberdeen and Rob Mclean salivating how well Aberdeen started 2nd half (still pish) St Mirren have just scored 1-0 St Mirren . we shouldnt fear that pile of pish in the cup

No way we getting into Europe with a midfield of Goss / Donnelly / Maguire
Maguire doesnt do it for me , donnelly Im 50/50 about and I think Goss will be worth it alongside Tierney and Slattery

A football manager talking nonsense - shocker. That said, from his point of view, his game plan almost worked. He wanted to flood the midfield, frustrate us, and either snatch one on the break or take it to penalties, hence his opinion. Most Motherwell fans probably thought we were awful (I certainly did) because our expectation was that we would be "up for it", create loads of chances, and take some. Did we deserve to win? Possibly not. Did we deserve to lose? Definitely not.
I suspect a neutral watching the game would think that Motherwell dominated, but lacked both urgency and that bit of class required to unlock a stuffy opposition, they would be unlikely to think that "the best team lost".
Spot on, Imrie talking utter shite. mind you GA analysis was shite IMO too. Morton had one effort and scored. Sadly we have always been a team that the oppositions possession and chances created are immaterial as all it often takes is one chance. Teams don't need lots of chances to score against us. However on this occasion we turned it around and in the Cup if you play pish all the way to the final no one complains, mind you I'm not suggesting that's what we will do, if only.

That was one of the best games at Fir Park in the last decade, right up there with the playoff 2nd leg for enjoyment and overall satisfaction. The scenes when Moult buried the third were priceless.
That season though was very much the exception to the rule for us against top flight sides in the Cups, as outwith that season and the LC16 tie against Livingston the following year, we have not beaten a fellow top flight side in either Cup since the 2011 SCSF against St.Johnstone.
did we not beat Rangers in a semi final in 2017

There is nothing to fear from playing aberdeen,that's just a fact.
out with the OF we are capable of beating any other team in the SPFL. That said our record in the cup in the early rounds against SPFL team is not good but we will need to be a millions miles better to put Aberdeen out.

I’m of the opinion no one has been excellent
I dont see it with Maguire I think Slattery is more effective,

Bayern pumped Stuttgart 4-0 with 10 men, it happens when you make basic errors and think you have the game won no matter how many men on the park.
Bayern Munich or Ross County no much difference LOL

Except when it doesn't... The psychology of playing ten men haunts most teams.
Im struggling to think the last team to get humped 3-1 by 10 men. However im sure someone will rhyme off hundreds. I cant remember the last time we had 10 men and beat a team 3-1. Struggling to actually think last time we had 10 men and won however again Im sure someone will rhyme of plenty occasions.

Same here Dave, he is not a happy man is he, big chance to open a bigger gap on Untd and Aberdeen thrown away tonight.
he should know that is Motherwell for you they've been doing it for the 40 years I've watched them. Any time it looks easier to win we find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot. They struggle with expectation and the minute you think we can do something it invariably blows up in our face

Do we have any subs?! Been crying out for fresh legs in the middle of the park.
why would fresh legs in the middle of the park have helped all they did was hoof it long and miss the midfield all night. Back to same mind numbing shite that we watched up to November with the exception we didnt grind out a result.

Tony Watt is no longer a well player.....end of. We move on
be interesting to see if Alan Burrows appears on twitter fulsome in his praise of TW and wishing him well...

Why do clubs always say for an undisclosed fee these days. When they are up against it they are never slow to tell the fans how much debt there is.

I know what you mean there but you could say the same for any other top flight side were we to face them in a penalty shootout. We would lose.
Our record in penalty shootouts is shocking and I believe it is the case that we have NEVER beaten a top flight side in a penalty shootout.
im more suggesting TW scores the winning penalty ..lol

Disappointed he is away now tbh. Not because I'd want him playing for us, but because it will undoubtedly strengthen Dundee Utd who are a few places behind us. I just hope we got a decent fee for him.
I see Roberts as a replacement for Watt more than Shields, who has done well out wide but is more suited to through the middle imo.
Edit - re the discussion above about wingers and forwards, I thought Watt and Woolery played more as wingers than forwards, they did a power of tracking back.
I hope we don't face Dundee Utd in a Scottish Cup Penalty shoot out , you just know what would happen.

That's the Watt deal done according to the BBC a fee has been agreed and he's off as of today
Tony Watt: Dundee United move close as Motherwell agree fee - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60025140
Good best for all concerned. Still can quite fathom what value there is for Dundee Utd to pay probably in the region of £750,000 over 3 years to win exactly the same as us. Especially for a club with hefty debt and being bailed out by fans pretty regularly.

One tame effort on goal. Ran about a lot. Everyone has bad games, but he looked very similar to Jordan White and we know how that turned out for us.
The Gaffer and Las were there I believe so hopefully that may make them rethink. Supposedly there were 8 or 9 clubs watching the game last night and interested. Would imagine that number is a lot lower now.
I very much doubt any of the clubs looking are basing their assessment on one game.

I think rudden would be worth a gamble if we could get him on a pre contract,I'm not sure about us spending money on him this month if watt moves on though.if watt leaves and we can get a half decent replacement,I can see us having a good second half of the season.
alot will also depend how much the opposing teams have managed to strengthen or not too

Faissal el Bakhtaoui looked an absolute standout at East End but failed to make the grade at a higher level with Dundee. Quite a few promising players in the Championship fail to make the step up to the Premiership. Potential isn't always realised.
and lots of times it is.

We should just be thankful it’s not us that gave him the long term contract on big money that some wanted.
very true

Is it £5k a week? So £1M over 4 years in his early 20s. He could buy a house then start a window cleaning outfit while he plays for the wee Rovers. Set up for life.
on the back of 9/10 games, great if you can get it.

Just now, weeyin said:
Talking of which, I see Dundee Utd are about to sell Kerr Smith to Aston Villa for £800k plus add-ons. Smith has made 12 first team appearances.
That might give them some spare cash to pay for Watt's early move.
Hope so we need to end the TW drama and move him on now.

We really miss Tony Watt and his name is writ large on every Dundee Utd performance.
