Don’t see us winning unfortunately. A narrow loss in normal time or else on penalties. Either way this is as far as we’ll go in the Cup this season.

Our favourite referee, Colin Steven, had no hesitation in spotting that dive tonight. Guarantee he will be the referee these days next time we play Hibs.

It was a stonewaller. Dry your eyes.

Even our own pitch has been looking worse for wear lately, there’s no question the recent weather has played a part in that. But this game surely should have been called off earlier? 9am this morning at the latest I would have said. The forecast was well known for the last few days yet it’s left to a 2.30pm inspection the inevitable result of which isn’t confirmed until about ten to four. That’s poor stuff yet again.

And it took them an hour and a half to come to that conclusion? Shambles

0-0 draw

Great first half and the job was done by half time. Still unbeaten in that light blue Steelworks kit too

We do love a 2-0 win don’t we?

Brilliant stuff. We genuinely are a proper No.9 type goalscorer away from being genuine league contenders this season. Mental to even say that but it’s true.

You get away with a lot more if you are actually delivering results on the park. Jens has us playing the best football since McGhee’s first season and he’s getting results from it. Alexander on the other hand was making unnecessary changes week after week and the football was awful but benefited from a huge slice of luck with other teams cutting their own throats.

Fancy us to dish out another pumping here inspite of that shitter of a pitch. 1-4 away win and our unbeaten run in our Light Blue away kit to continue

Tremendous second half performance. Arrogance and swagger personified.

Two cracking goals. That’s all that matters so far.

Big let off there by the looks of it.

I can see today being a frustrating struggle for some reason. Either 1-1 or a 1-2 loss

Absolute nightmare draw

It certainly wasn’t great and the team selection was questionable but Ross County were always coming here to make things as difficult as possible for us and spoil the game to their own advantage. They managed that to a point but fortunately we had the quality in our best player to undo their efforts. We won and we’re in the next round so how it looked to the paying punter or as a spectacle is irrelevant. Cup ties are all about winning and we did that today.

On a sour note I’m hearing rumours of a ‘Well fan kicking a Greggs sausage roll right of of a pal of Kettlewell’s neighbours wee boy’s hand before the game. Some Motherwell fans really are awful people. ☹️ ☹️ ☹️

Job done and well done. Hopefully a good draw in the next round and please…strongest eleven selected regardless of who it’s against.

Who Fucking Else!?!? TJ our talisman!!!

Starting to get the fear now. We need to score asap in the second half.

As long as we win and progress then it won’t matter a jot, indeed it will look like a shrewd move by Jens. But we’ve been here before with Cup ties and this one will be a tough battle which we will need to negotiate properly. We should have enough quality in that starting lineup to win but you just never know.

After you

Six changes! We better win.

I sincerely hope not, we have been stung in the past by not playing our strongest starting 11 in Cup ties, the man in the other dugout today was guilty of it amongst others but hopefully Jens doesn’t do the same. We have injuries but other than them our best available players need to start this game because if they don’t and we don’t win this tie then it’s a black mark against the manager.
