I prefer to keep it in my pants to be honest, that way I don’t run the risk of being arrested for indecent exposure and all that. 👍

Thank you.

We could play until this time tomorrow and not score.

I know it’s not a popular opinion but we miss Slattery.

It’s been depressingly predictable so far. After beating Rangers at Ibrox the other week following that up with a dismal performance and a loss at home to a poor Aberdeen side was always on the cards.

No wonder. One of the best things about games was celebrating when your team scored. But now you can’t fully celebrate just in case a player who put a cross ins big toe was offside.

Get VAR so far to fuck. It is absolutely ruining football.

Deservedly behind. Been 2nd best and dreadful defending for that goal.

Really pleased for him.

It appears that I and I dare say very few Motherwell fans are surprised to hear this.

Hope we win but can’t see it. This has all the hallmarks of a defeat. (Big win at Ibrox, on paper this fixture should be ‘easier’). 0-1 Aberdeen

No player is bigger than the club. It doesn’t matter how well they have done for us or how ‘pally’ they are with some supporters, at the end of the day players will come and go but the club will always be here. If KvV, Blair Spittal or whoever decide to move on after a good season with us then good luck to them, as long as we as a club do okay from the deal.

We got the best of Kevin van Veen, especially in the last few months of his time with us. He was confident, fit and scoring regularly. He was always going to leave last summer when his stock was at its peak and him and his agent were seeing £££ signs. Had he stayed here I don’t think he would have been anywhere near 29 goals this season.

It would be the most ‘Motherwell’ thing ever if we follow up a win against Rangers at Ibrox with a home defeat to a struggling Aberdeen next week.

A thoroughly uninspiring signing who looked thoroughly uninspiring for his first few months or so. But his workrate was never in question and he has been without doubt a much improved player since mid to late December and has clearly grown in confidence and is now a key part of the team that we wouldn’t want to be without. I like him.

I’ll look forward to seeing those posts then. I don’t think it’ll be representative of the whole Hearts support but it’ll be interesting to see posts like that nonetheless. I don’t have any kind of ‘hard-on’ for Hearts or any other club other than Motherwell. As I’ve said before, I respect Hearts as a club and admire their support and their fans loyalty to their club. There’s not many, if any, clubs in Scotland have as passionate and loyal support as Hearts do. We won, that is the main thing and you’re right about that. And each to their own. For me though, while winning at Ibrox at last was special and nothing else that happened this weekend could top that, Celtic and Rodgers losing to Hearts and thereby squandering their chance to go back to the top of the league is an extra and we’ll appreciated bonus. 👍

Yes if you want. As I said I’m not trying to be awkward here, I’m genuinely interested. If you have seen posts by Hearts fans on social media and can show me those posts then fair enough. I would have to disagree though that they have a leaning in one particular direction. Most Hearts fans I know, in fact, ANY Hearts fan that I’ve ever known has only ever had a leaning towards Hearts and no one else. I’ve said this before on these forums, Hearts fans support their club through thick and thin and tend not to care what any one else thinks of them. And as for that ‘Billy Boys’ chant. That used to be quite common place at Fir Park back in the late 80s/early 90s. It’s not now thankfully as I wouldn’t want that to be something which was sung at our ground. It’s not a very nice song, to put it lightly. But I still don’t think that the Motherwell fans who sang that back in the day had ‘Rangers preferences’. They might have been a bit misguided and ignorant (to put it mildly) but I don’t question their support for Motherwell FC. And I think the same goes for those in the Hearts support who did/do the same. I think the best way to go about things is to just support your own club in your own way and not to give to shits about either Celtic or Rangers.

Do you have any evidence of Hearts fans posting stuff like that? I’m not being awkward or argumentative btw, it’s a genuine question. I can’t speak for anyone else but any Hearts fan I’ve ever known has only ever been interested in what is best for their club and they certainly don’t have any preference or leaning towards either OF club.

And Brendan is raging. Dribbling on about VAR and referee decisions. Even better! After the way he was all smug and condescending about us rightly being aggrieved about the decisions in the 2017 League Cup Final and the game at Fir Park the following Wednesday I will never, ever tire of seeing this arsehole being gutted and getting a taste of his own medicine. Choke on it Rodgers.

And Celtic bottle it against Hearts at Tynecastle. Could this weekend get any better? As the Tynecastle sound system is now blaring out #Oh, ho, ho it’s Magic You know oh ho# Get it right up them, their odious fans and that prick Rodgers.

It was a Coyle double at Ibrox in May ‘97. Second one was a late penalty. Mickey Weir scored in a 2-0 win away to Celtic later the same year but the following season. Coyle did score that day too.

No longer the last Motherwell player to score a league winner against Rangers. About time too!

I’m sure most thought the same and when they equalised today I certainly expected only one outcome. And plenty of Motherwell teams over the past two decades would have crumbled and lost at that point so huge credit to this group and the manager for never mind not losing but actually going on to get the win!

Plenty of it.

And the change kit which is much maligned by some will forever be associated with winning at Ibrox. You think the Pony all white kit and think of Owen Coyle day The fluorescent kit and Eliphas Shivute at Ibrox in a 2-2 draw and Willie Falconer covered in mud after scoring the winner at Fir Park And this seasons will be remembered for Theo Bair and Dan Casey turning Rangers over.
