Our fan own club is in the hands of our fan owned board with the tail wagging the dog from the club board. If and a big if we are insured for such a pandemic situation we are presently in then obviously no need to furlough staff. However that is a big if and clarity wouldn’t go a miss especially when the club and society are first to put their hands out with a begging bowl to the same core group of supporters for money when times are tough. Why on earth would the club not take advantage of the furlough scheme and only keep a handful of people on the books just now ? If Mr Burrows and the board were to clarify they might see an increase in season ticket sales. I just hope we aren’t pissing money down the drain after all the years of hard work. Possibly the biggest financial decision ever during fan ownership and the silence is deafening.

Only the manager can pick the midfield 3 - not the fans and not the players . He is also the one who has signed the players he did in the summer . He must have known we were short in there and he is the one that is trying to shoe horn a 3rd pick 2nd rate centre half come right back in there

The result today was more or less predictable and isn’t going to be the one that makes or breaks our season but Livi last week is the kind of match and result that will. The sad and alarming thing for me is that Robbo seems hell bent on a pedestrianised, defensive midfield 3 with absolutely no pace and no guile - the 3 players he picked in there last week were bossed at Livi and had no creativity so no surprise the same happened today. I actually felt sorry for them. They all tried hard and stuck at it but the balance and mix isn’t right and neither is the mix around about them . 2-1 down at half time and very much in the match despite the aforentioned issues and a lack of cover in the wide areas so rather than see the problem and fix it he fucks a straight swap in with winger who can’t defend to replace a winger who can’t defend. Thats my issue with Robbo once he has a system he’s no idea how to change it during the game . Polworth looks a player as is Gallagher and possibly Hylton - the rest have a look to prove in the weeks and months ahead. As I said at the start of the post today’s result won’t detemine the season but no plan b and no actual style of play will . If you play with two wingers then get the ball to them. Special mention today to 6 of strathclydes finest who managed to completely shit themselves outside the ground today and actually deal with a group of Celtic fans causing a bit of hassle with verbals and pisisng in the middle of the road. All 6 shat themselves and did fuck about it and then turned on me for questioning them . Jobsworth arseholes who take money for nothing and think they are above th law .

How long before Burrows and the board grow themselves a set of balls and get rid ? Today showed yet again how tactically naive this footballing dinosaur is. Effectively played with 4 centre half’s ( included McHugh) from the start and hoofed it route one to two midgets against 4 giants. His tactics are dross, his signings are the same and our season is over bar a relegation fight . Based on today the players either don’t want to play for him, are all shite or didn’t know what the were meant to be doing. I believe we have 7 or 8 players good enough to do well in this league but not under his stewardship . If burrows persists with him the latest dwindling crowds will dwindle further - no cup runs to hide behind . what did he work on in Tenerife other than head tennis ? Fucking clueless

So Robbo puts on a good training session at dalziel and Burrows gets fans free pies after they get knocked out their hands in the warm up so they deserve to keep their jobs!! Lets forget the facts that after these great training sessions we play route one football and most of our squad can’t pass the ball 10 yards in front of their team mates and less than 10% of our players can beat their man in a one on one . Also forget the fact we are shite to watch , results are shite and entertainment value is zero . Combine that with the standard of player we have signed and the performances we have served up in the league this season and last . Robbo and Burrows are steering a sinking ship and the old pals act board need to act quickly. Problem is there’s far too much conflict of interest between the society board and the club board which keeps getting swept under the carpet- appointments by appointment by mates under a supposedly fan owned regime . We stick with Robbo and there will be more than him looking for a new job - his mistakes are putting many people who work for the club livelihoods at stake . Merry xmas and I look forward to my pie from burrows - that will make all the difference After another defeat .

Burrows is as much to blame for this as Robbo but he keeps getting an easy ride as he’s a fan and some of our fickle happy crappy support are mates with him and wouldn’t dare let the facts get in the way of their mate who gives them a response on twitter. The truth is robbo has signed a squad of duds and burrows has signed off on it and wasted precious money on absolute shite . It’s an old pals act though and they are sadly untouchable . Our tactics are from the stone age and the entertainment value is zero. How long canRobbo and flow hide behind two cup finals that we reached and then never turned up in. And the sooner people realise the spin doctor shite about our profit and turnover is down to two big transfer fees and has fuck all to do with Robbos ability as a manager or burrows as a chief executive . If any of the two of them were decent our bank balance would be much better than it is right now . We need shot of both of them now before we hit rock bottom . Worst motherwell team in my lifetime and it’s not even worth watching anymore . Will burrows sack him to save his own job !!!!!or maybe he can fall back to his photography role he’s qualified for .

Burrows , the Board and indeed the well society have been very quiet this season in the media and seem to hope the Robinson problem will just go away . They are all to blame for the shambles that was our signing policy in the summer. They do however have a chance to redeem themselves by doing something about it. Sometimes it takes a bigger man to admit he was wrong ..... I just wonder how much money has been wasted this summer on wages of players who have made no difference.

Anyone with any basic knowledge of football could see that after ten minutes rangers newco were ripping us down our left hand side and Tait had two men running at him constantly as no one was playing left midfield and main/bowman weren’t interested in tracking Taveneir. Robbo did nothing to counteract this and just hoped for the best . The reason for this is he doesn’t know what to do. The reason we have no one to play here is because Robbo never signed anyone to play here despite all his summer signings. For those suggesting people are on for a moan Are deluded . We are pish to watch and are the poorest Motherwell team in years. Results prove that . We have no match winners in our team And no guile or flair . St Mirren and Dundee results merely papered over the cracks and prolonged the pain of this man being in charge.

Burrows won’t get rid of Robbo and will hang onto him until the bitter end - getting rid would show his failings by appointing him via the back door in the first place and then giving him a blank cheque to squander the small amount of money the club and ultimately the well society had on utter dross over the summer . The squad is unbalanced and poor without a goal scorer or wide players . Other than dunne our defence can’t run . Special mentions to Hartley and Aldred - love to talk a good game , talk themselves up as hard men and they go on the pitch and are slower than John Sutton and both are soft as shite. I still don’t think we will finish bottom and I accept we have no Devine right to be in the top 6 but I do expect as a supporter and a paying customer to watch professionals on the pitch and get entertained from time to time . That has happened this season and won’t under Robbo . He’s a dinosaur when it comes to set up and tactics with his long ball punt and the players he has bought have simply been bought to follow that ethos . Our support is small but loyal but it will dwindle if we need to put up with this guy for much longer .

If McManus is in the running for any part of the 1st team managerial set up I would rather we stuck with Robbo . Mr Teflon shouldn’t be near it . It’s team unity we need not a big headed back stabbber I would give it to Lasley and allow him the choice of a right hand man which won’t be McManus but problem is Robbo has blown the budget on dross and we now have an over inflated squad of players with no room to bring anyone in . I do however believe we have enough in the squad to stay up if set up the correct way with someone putting square pegs in square holes.

Didn’t go to killie last week but that performance today was a continuation of the 2nd half at Tynecastle in the cup. - same 352 that doesn’t work with the players we have. - hoofball - no guile or creativity - no leaders on the park - no attacking threat whatsoever - glaringly office that we are set up not to concede hence never committing players forward. - Tait wasted out of position - no youth - a team that’s actually worse to watch than last years despite all the new signings and an increased wage bill - players huffing and puffing on the pitch and starting to argue with each other more and more I do believe we have enough with what we’ve got to be safe come April next year but not with Robbo in charge . This is now his Oldham part 2. Time for him to go and someone to take over who can simply man manage and get guys like Tait Campbell Hartley and Cadden playing the way they are capable of playing. Whoever has overseen these deals and signings close season along with the increased playing budget also has to have a long hard look at themselves tonight . We’ve still got time to get out this mess but let’s hope the old pals act doesn’t stand in the way of what’s best for our club - over to you Mr Burrows et al. Hopefully for the good of the club that was Robbos last game today

2nd best again 2nite. No youth been given a chance and summer signings simply nowhere near good enough. Donnelly looks like a poor mans Kevin Christie . Full backs/wings backs clearly instructed not to get tight to their man and let crosses come into the box . 2nd best all night and got what we deserved. give Robbo time tho to sign more dross in another window and persist with long ball tactics and the rest of the team 40 yards behind the strikers - utter utter shite to follow

Would be very surprised if the game goes ahead on Sunday . The pitch will be fine but would take some effort to get the surrounding areas , stands and walkways ready for Sunday . I would imagine a decision will be made as late as possible.

Undoubtedly a great point today against a team on a great run but by fuck its not pleasant to watch. Saw more football played at my sons game this morning . Perfectly clear to see that we are going route one for the rest of the season and the game plan is to score from set pieces. The absence of tanner from the starting line up tells you what Robbos plans are and they dont involve playing football : If we keep it up for the rest of the season and steal points like today and manage to avoid a relegation dogfight he will be regarded a hero but its going to be a hard hard watch. Hearts dominated today down the left side of our team and there was a clear reason for this. I wonder if thats why we are signing a journeyman left midfielder next week !!!!!

Give him the window and money to spend based on his previous signings then we will be in real shite. Give someone else the window to bring in some players and get a togetherness back in the squad

5 points out of 33 would see anyone sacked unless you are Burrows chum. Worse than our present record tho is the fact that people think we should give Robbo more money to bring in more new players to simply replace the dross he signed in the summer . Fisher , Dunne, Demi, Griffiths resigned, Demi, Bigi, Rose ( who up until Hearts game I thought had done ok) Plummer - all utter dross and how much money has been wasted on them . Robbos managerial record pre getting appointed with us was extremely poor and its heading that way again. No man management skills and thats now shinning bright with the players attitudes and performances who he ha singled out. A one trick pony who has run out of ideas . I know theres no chance he will go anywhere with our weak board who would need to admit they were wrong if they sack him but what will it take - one new striker isnt going to save this season from being another dog fight

Just back in from Ibrox - as I expected utter utter dross to watch with no creativity in the team and Tanner our only slight chance of creating something. We could have played until next year and not score . It would appear that the only true leader in our team is a player on loan which says it all. It can be glossed up anyway people want under the Robbo appreciation society but 5 points from 30 with a team devoid of creativity and spark and being sent out week after week to be cautious and simply have a target of stopping the opposition playing isnt good enough . I at least expect us to be challenging for top 6 and at least attack teams and be positive - that has completely disappeared from our way of playing . Robbo has signed or reigned a lot of mediocre shite and its all too evident to see . His plan A isnt working and he doesnt have a plan B. Results ultimately will determine how long he will continue in his role but if performances dont improve along with his approach to the way he sets the team up how long can he be untouchable for . 5 points from 30 would have seen McGhee and co hounded out but I suppose when youre in with the bricks its a different story. Cue the we got to a cup final and have injuries excuses to defend him. Selling Moult could be the difference between us fighting for top 6 or fighting relegation.

Manager to blame for this with the wrong line up and wrong tactics just like Tynecastle on Saturday. Even with the injuries we have we still should have more than enough to beat the poorest thistle team I have seen in years . Players didnt seem up for the fight tonight and were bullied . 2nd half better but too little to late . Manager has rightly taken the plaudits to date this season but he needs to have a long hard look at himself as Parkhead, Tynecastle and tonight he picked the wrong team. Tanner was our only player on Saturday yet he doesnt pick him tonight / he more than proved a point when he came on tonight. Tait and Dunne appear undropable. Everybody happy to make Mchugh and Rose the fall guys of late yet Tait escapes criticism on a weekly basis despite playing hoof ball with no intention of passing the ball on the deck to the player playing in front of him. Next two games are now massive - lets hope our manager has a plan B !!!!

circa 7k tickets sold - decent against our average home support but in some ways a bit disappointing

It's a long way around him to avoid him especially in that Matalan suit. Don't see many other 'chief executives' badgering their players on the park at the end of a game at any level

Thought we played well today and were unlucky not to get at least a point. They refs decisions in general were baffling at times. I think Louis moult is a cracking player but some people need to take the rose tinted specs off - he was generally ineffective today , gave away needless fouls, missed a sitter by trying to score a Charlie big time finish rather than just put the ball in the net, yet Bowman and Fisher get the criticism. If we play like that every week we will win more than we lose. Was impressed with Kipre and Tanner and thought Rose came into the game as it went on . Cadden, Tait and Heneghan all played well. Dunne is a bomb-scare can't cross, can't pass and even managed a Zac Jules moment .

Robinson has won one game since his kid on official appointment . There's no hiding that's relegation form. He has inherited a poor squad but hasn't helped himself with poor tactics, starting line ups and a team that based on today's performance isn't busting a gut for him . McManus in the dug out today beside him stinks further of jobs for the boys or maybe he was just returning the favour to his big mate for getting him back to Fir Park. The thought of him in charge next season in either league gives me the fear. The completely wrong appointment for so many reasons - thanks Mr Burrows and the board

Poor line up again today with the manager insisting with square pegs in round holes. I thought McHugh and Campbell were decent and tried hard and Lasley and Hammell at least tried hard but both are done. The least said about the rest the better , even Moults level dropped today to mediocre and he looked unfit . The lack of fight passion and togetherness was alarming but not unexpected . Bringing on clay in front of Faddy In those circumstances just beggars belief. Must beat Accies next week or it's the play offs at very best

Go watch some re runs of his games for us and watch him closely - as sleekit on the pitch as you get. Fails on occasion after occasion to cover in behind the other centre half who is challenging for the ball. More individual errors than Samson. Only interested in making himself look good . It's sunny today so you better keep the rose tinted specs on
