Absolutely. We’re not a ‘darling club’ of the Scottish media like Celtic, Aberdeen or Dundee Utd so we’re always going to attract negative press from those who see us doing well as being upstarts who are daring to do better than we should be. And the fact that we’ve got an outsider leading us and making it all happen compounds it for them.

Was a tough watch but absolutely delighted with that win. That’s all that matters at the end of the day.

If we had a goalscorer we would be top of the league right now.

TJ is going to be a massive loss the next few weeks. We’re pretty toothless when he’s playing but he’s the one who can produce something.

But therein lies the problem. Too many people in this part of the world can’t handle alcohol but that never causes them to desist.

Perhaps but I would gladly trade all of them for two leave cup triumphs in the last 13 years.

On a serious note I just can’t help but grin with a smug satisfaction about this. I had nothing against Stuart Kettlewell when he was with us but I thought he had well and truly run his course by the time he left. And had he left it at that then there probably wouldn’t even have been half the bad feeling towards him. It was a case of he did his time, did some good things and plenty of bad things but it clearly wasn’t working anymore and we go our separate ways. But he just couldn’t resist engaging victim mode rather than just going quietly and unfortunately it was compounded by his pals in the media, our social media and some of our depressingly gullible fans who helped pedal that narrative. And so he went to Kilmarnock where he failed and had their fans calling him out for the exact same issues that ours did. He has been well and truly found out.

No. It’s aimed at the poster who said that after Kettlewell left us and did his “boo-hoo the Motherwell fans said some hurty words about me” act.

Some Motherwell fans really are deplorable human beings 🤔

It helps when the clearly superior opposition has shot themselves in the foot repeatedly with bad decisions on and off the park relating to managers and player recruitment. We’ve never got that slice of fortune whenever we’ve faced Celtic in cup finals in recent times. Obviously that was outwith our control but as I said I still wouldn’t have backed us to beat this particular Celtic side in a Cup final had it been us playing them today.

I hope a bigger club does take him away from St.Mirren now. I hate St.Mirren with a passion. Robinson is a decent guy who did well with us and unfortunately much better with them.

That’s what guts me. Robinson got us to two cup finals and we never laid a glove on them. Circumstances have obviously worked in St.Mirrens favour this year with Celtic being in turmoil but even if that had been us playing that Celtic team today we would still have ended up losing. We are not nearly clinical and streetwise enough as a team to win games like these. I never ever thought I would be so annoyed to see Celtic lose a cup final but I am honestly fucking pig sick seeing St.Mirren win that.

I am truly sickened about that. I’m giving up football for the foreseeable.

But if Aberdeen sack Thelin then would they come looking at JBA??

Another draw I’m afraid. 1-1

Disappointed not to win that but happy enough not to lose and preserve our unbeaten and clean sheet run. Again that game highlights our weakness up front but we undoubtedly are more than decent elsewhere on the park. Hopefully results like today and the other draws we’ve had won’t come back to haunt us but you’ve got to say we are in with a big shout of top six this season.

Think we’ll take it 2-1.

St.Mirren are going to win the League Cup next week aren’t they?

Delighted with that. Three clean sheets in a row too!

Beautiful goal from Watt. We need another though.

We’ll pump them. 4-1

Fancy us to win this 2-0 tonight. Albeit the loss of Watt can’t be understated.

Could have been worse, could have been better. We should win but I will never fully trust us to win a Cup tie against anyone.

It’s all about progression so the weakest side at home to give us the best possible chance is what we need.

Christ no! That would have disaster of all disasters written all over it.
