Neither comes out of it well, but what happened at the end of the game was Celtic fans fault because they instigated the entire thing by invading the park. Anyone who believes, or pretends to believe otherwise is deluding themselves and enabling Celtic and the control they have over football, the authorities and large parts of society in general.

Celtic have previous for this as we saw at Fir Park a few years back. Hundreds of their fans jumping on the park, confronting stewards and players. They are out of control and can basically do what they like because the authorities are terrified of them and their club. But it’s the easier and ‘safer’ option to just blame Rangers, even when all the evidence points to who really is to blame.

But there were considerably less Celtic fans in the ground than Rangers fans. So it was surely to be expected that more Rangers fans would come on the park in the event of a pitch invasion? And “a good number of them masked” in reference to the Rangers fans who ran on the pitch? So we just going to ignore that the majority of the Celtic fans who invaded the park were also covering their faces? Check the footage on STV/youtube and Twitter if you want. I’m not going to say much more. Other than…”Hello there, Hello!” to anyone who blindly and blissfully subscribes to the idea that “Rangers get everything”. Hiya, hiya pal (to needs to hear this the most!)

If the narrative set by the media is that it’s mainly one set of supporters that caused the problem and someone speaks up to suggest that there were faults on both sides then what’s the problem? As you said, two groups, so why should only one particular group be focussed on more than the other?

Mainly Rangers fans in what way? That there were more Rangers fans in the ground so it was kind of inevitable that if fans ended up on the park then it would mostly be Rangers fans?? Or should we just ignore that it was Celtic fans who went on the park first and had they not gone on the park then the Rangers fans most likely wouldn’t reacted and went on? Neither set of fans comes out of it looking good but to suggest that it was mostly Rangers fans and only some Celtic fans is just a nonsense. Because if the Celtic fans don’t go on the park in the first place the neither do the Rangers fans. Hiya Spiderpig, hiya pal 👋 😂

We’ll get pumped by at least three. Bubble status: Burst

This is the most sensible post that’s been posted on here today and it resonates completely. This season has been very good for us and we have played some brilliant football throughout which have helped bring about some great results. But ultimately it’s yet another very good Motherwell side who will have nothing to show for it come the end of the season. And this year it feels even more of a missed opportunity given that we had the team to achieve something while both Old Firm teams have had their worst seasons in decades at the same time. We will be waiting a long, long time before that happens again. And before anyone asks the question “ahh but would you swap our season of great football for St.Mirren’s season, however that ends up for them in the league”? then yes, you better believe I would because they won silverware and have tangible success to point to from this season while we, yet again, have none.

Been a bad day all round by the looks of it. It happens but it’s a sore one to take regardless.

No one has said we are rotten again or anything of the sort. The flip side of your claim is “here we go again, fans rightly criticise a poor performance and they’re wetting their pants and calling us rotten, according to some”. That was a dreadful first half and the comments on it have reflected that. It’s as simple as that.

I think we’ll beat Dundee on Saturday. But to add some negative realism to the matter I don’t think we have any change of winning the league as we are too far behind Hearts and don’t see us getting anything away against Celtic on the 14th.

A comfortable 3-0 win

Tam Cowan is one of the worst culprits of this and he’s a Motherwell fan. He spent the entire month of January on the radio basically trying to sell Maswanhise and just about every week states that he hopes Jens is “as far away from Scottish fitbaaawww as he can get” come the start of next season. Just shut up and enjoy it while we’ve got it ffs.

Ross County in 2022, KvV hat trick. One of the few bright spots in Hammell’s tenure.

Motherwell 1-2 Dundee United Just be typical of us to lose especially against this mob.

Superb performance tonight. What a way to bounce back

Arrogance Swagger Pomp Defiance Brilliant stuff Motherwell

This is insane. Brilliant goal from Bjorgolfsson.

When we’re good fuck me we are good! Total domination tonight.

Just like that eh? Tidy finish

Pretty much as you’d expect tonight with the strongest team starting.

Getting beat 2-1 at HT now too. Not that I take any pleasure from that as it’s just another reminder that they are fucking rotten and we blew it in true Motherwell Cup tie fashion the other night.

There is absolutely zero chance of us winning the league this season. Let’s be clear on that to start with. Apart from us being ten points behind the current leaders Hearts (who won’t win it) and eight behind 2nd place Rangers, we just do not have that killer touch, that clinical streak in us that we would need to be considered as serious contenders. Our away form isn’t that good and certainly not the standard of a side who are truly in a title race. We have lost at Ibrox, Parkhead and chucked away a 3-0 lead in less than half an hour at Tynecastle so far this season, add to that we have failed to win away in the league at Pittodrie, Easter Road, Falkirk, Dens Park and Tannadice. We will be nowhere near the title come the end of the season. As for your point about those clubs I mentioned spending time in the lower leagues. Yes they have, but they can all point to tangible success which we have failed to match despite not playing outwith the top flight during the same period. I don’t know about anyone else but I would take that over 40 odd years (or 22 for the “only saved by technicality” pedants) of top flight football and zero trophies.

You’re right! Thank you for only solidifying my point that losing to them was a major boot in the stones and that they were a side we really should have been beating.

It has been yes and it has been absolutely brilliant so see. But at the same time it is tainted with that frustration that we saved our worst two performances of the season for two massive Cup ties and lost both. A scenario we have seen all too often with various Motherwell sides under various managers and with various players. Since we last lifted silverware 35 years ago this May, Dundee Utd have managed it twice…St.Mirren have managed it twice, St.Johnstone have done it three times, Kilmarnock have done it twice and even Livingston, ICT, Raith Rovers and Ross County have managed it once. That is a hard one to take.

Maybe on paper it isn’t, if you look at the difference in budgets and size of both clubs as I know is something of a favourite go-to for us and some of our fans. But that Aberdeen team really aren’t anything special. They are nine points and thirteen goals behind us in the league and we have a game in hand. We have beaten them in three out of the last four meetings before last night and they are also managerless. As for the mentality side of things. When Motherwell FC start showing that they can win big games in Cup ties (and let me be as clear as I possibly can here, I am not talking about us actually going the distance and winning the competitions, just not losing to poor sides in the early rounds four years in a row) then I might change my position on our mentality.
