He certainly looked that way tonight. Absolutely strolled through that and a fine goal into the bargain. We’ve potentially got an absolute gem on our hands here.

Lowry and Levitt look the absolute real deal! No doubt Dundee Utd will whinge and whimper about the red card but we have seen many a Motherwell side fail to take advantage of a side down to ten men in the past. That’s not our problem, we had to beat the team in front of us and we did that very professionally and comfortably in the end. Absolutely delighted with that tonight.

Absolutely BRILLIANT night and result under the lights. Our biggest home win against Dundee Utd since the Scottish Cup replay in 2011 too! Even Jens couldn’t beat Utd by three clear goals

I would have thought bringing in another goalkeeper would be something we’d look at before the window closes. We’re surely not simply going to go with Connolly as the main backup?

Really chuffed with Levitt signing, as long as he stays injury free he’ll be a great addition. I don’t see us getting through the window unscathed without losing one or more key player unfortunately with Fadinger and Longelo being the most obvious ones but will be will be. Maswanhise hasn’t kicked his own backside since February so if we get a decent bid in for him then we’ll have done well out of that one.

You know what’s worse than a troll? Them who keep feeding them. Anyway, more important things to talk about on this match thread.

I like the away jersey but it would be better with the white shorts from the home kit and vice-versa. I do agree that it’s pointless as a ‘change’ kit because the sides we would normally change against we can’t really wear it. I would expect us to wear our first kit away against Aberdeen and Hearts but I’ve seen us wear our claret away kits against Dundee Utd in the past. We do have the option of the anniversary kit though.

I said that we wouldn’t have won the game when a poster said at half time to wait and see where we were at the end of the game. And I was right about that. Artichoke Cholmondeley…. I was right

Plenty. Almost as much as I do on here to be honest. It’s a pity I’m not a troll because I would be pretty good at it going by the amount of bites I get from people who would try and pretend that they don’t care. I’ve almost got celebrity status on here come to think of it.

That’s the best we’ll get. I don’t see where our next win is coming from. 0-0

I was right though. 🤷‍♂️ A draw was a good result given how the game went and a last minute leveller sickened the St.Mirren fans so that is a positive. Questions need to be asked over the way we surrendered a 2-0 lead within minutes at the end of the first half to go in behind at the interval. I’m happy with the draw given the context of the game.

Here’s a wee spoiler…we won’t have won

To be 2-0 up six minutes from half time and to go in 2-2 is a major failure. To go in 2-3 behind is completely unprofessional and incompetent.

Unprofessional. But hey, at least we pocketed millions from our Euro tie eh?

Bottled a 2-0 lead within minutes. Pathetic

Yeah it’s hard to see where goals will come from in that starting lineup but Maswanhise is always a potential threat for us.

Our ex manager Robinson’s mob beaten by Del’s Rangers with an exquisite penalty from Lawrence Shankland. The funniest thing about the whole game was Aberdeen having a late equaliser correctly ruled out by VAR for a two handed shove by Nisbet and their whinging, odious fans screaming blue murder about it.

2-1 home win. Don’t fancy us atall today.

Looks like the new away kit will be making its debut today.

I actually liked their old stadium at Love Street. Was a proper old ground and made for a great away day if going in by train. Their fans are arseholes mind you.

There probably is a degree of sarcasm with his use of “wee diddy team” but it still doesn’t look or sound good. However there was absolutely no sarcasm from him when he went straight on the radio after we’d just beaten Celtic and played them off the park and the first thing he said was “you’ve got tae wonder how long we’ll be able to keep that manager, be lucky if he’s not gone before the end of the season” or words to that effect. Nothing about the result, nothing about the performance, just doom and gloom and pouring cold water on a great night for us.

He’s a moron with a big mouth and a big platform to air his ramblings. And when he’s on national radio telling everyone that we are this cuddly wee diddy team and practically begging clubs to sign our best players then that’s the image people get of the club. Oh aye, and he also said on radio that Sam Nicholson definitely handled the ball when the rest of the footballing world was ridiculing that call and calling it out for the absolute nonsense that it was.

I don’t think so. As I’ve already said we were simply beaten over two legs by a much stronger side, there’s no shame in that. Had we got a more favourable draw we might have stood a chance of getting to the group stages but we would have been cannon fodder if we had. Hearts are a far bigger club than us with far greater resources, but they will likely be the whipping boys in the conference league group stages. It was good for the club that we got there and we certainly did give it a go this time around. It was certainly a lot better than any of our recent ‘euro tours’ which have yielded nothing but embarrassment for us. Finally, Tam Cowan comes out with that nonsense (wee diddy club)in relation to us in the domestic game and if we had managed to make it to the group stages he would be straight on his radio platform to tell all and sundry that it would only be a matter of time before AJ is poached and “come on big clubs, sign half our team” bla bla bla. But of course he cares more about his own reputation and taking photos of his fish suppers than Motherwell FC.

I thought I was being quite positive about our efforts. I acknowledged that we were beaten by a far superior side and that it was good for the club that we reached this stage. I also mentioned that I was pleased for the travelling support that they got something to cheer about with the goal to make it 1-1. Europe is not our level. It just isn’t. But the domestic game and competitions are because we stand a(n albeit outside) chance of actually going all the way and winning the entire thing. For that reason I would much rather we focused our attentions on domestic fixtures like the League cup than some ‘glamour’ Euro tie that we have no chance of winning.
