Absolutely feeling the sentiment of all. Get this offer thrown into the fucking sea where it belongs.
And hopefully the offer takes McMahon & Dickie with it.

I don't know about this particular case, but if we don't attract some additional investment from some source then this will become increasingly common. The likes of Ross County and St Johnstone and maybe even Dunfermline and Falkirk will be pipping us to signing targets.
Absolute balderdash.

We are still short of another main striker.
This worries me too, I don’t see the rest of the team contributing enough to compensate for Watts goals. I don’t think Shields is the answer through the middle. Has Woolery had a shot in the no9 position yet?

Although wasn’t O’Donnell already on a yellow by that time?
I don’t recall O’Donnell being booked?

I had actually forgot about it at the time but Maguire put in an epic challenge near the end of the game on Wednesday night. Demetri Mitchell was showing how fast he was as he tore up the wing past Slattery, but just before he nipped by someone else Barry came roaring in with a lovely robust challenge and Mitchell felt some flying that he wouldn't have experienced before. Perfectly fair challenge, I'll give credit to the Hibs guy for getting straight back up as his team mates Macey and Bushiri were quite cringeworthy with their antics.
That someone else was our esteemed captain who shit himself from putting Mitchell in the stand.

Nolan done a great job to be fair. The East Stand looks splendid these days!

I confidently predict that we will have a full crowd for the start of the Scottish Cup campaign. If not wee Krankie should resign forthwith, listening to her yesterday bumbling on for about 20 mins, constantly looking at her watch before getting to the point in hand is like watching paint dry. Cmon woman either lead or resign. I can go to a crowded pub, have about 5 thousand sloping about inside the likes of Silverburn but only 500 in an open air stadium!!!!!, was going to say you couldn't make it up but they obviously have. As previously said, the vaccine works or doesn't, let the people live their lives and stop blaming FOOTBALL for every dam rise in cases!!!!!!.
Horrendous patter.

If the Queen is announced as pan bread this week it'll be off.
Tough one. Hopefully she can hold off until we’ve got a horrendous injury list / suspensions.
On the subject of suspensions, is KVV not due a match ban due to his accumulation of yella cards?

We certainly have a big squad this year.
Tierney, Slattery, Maguire, O’Hara, Donnelly, Goss, Crawford and Grimshaw for centre mid.
Bevis, Lamie, Sol, Ojala and O’Connor for centre half.
You’d think/hope we get one or two out the door in January.
I liked what I seen of O’Connor during the league cup games, but it’s clear that Solholm & Ojala are the first choice centre halves so will be hard to break through. Bevis & Lamie have been solid back ups too. Lamie has had some very good performances this year. Seems a different player to the bombscare we had last season.Midfielde wise, I think (and hope) we will see the end of Crawford’s Motherwell stint. You have forgotten to mention Cornelius whom I think is injured at the moment? I suspect we may try to get shot of Donnelly in January too. Doesn’t seem to have gotten over his injury from last season.

Very happy with an unexpected win, but those stats don’t make good reading again.
Stats mean sweet FA when you get the 3 points. Enjoy the win and enjoy yer morning.

Maurice Ross back in the coaching game after being appointed manager of Cowdenbeath. God help them.

Has Roberts done enough to even merit us talking about taking him permanently? I was happy to see him back on loan to see what more he had to offer but I think a few have jumped the gun a bit with him after his short spell last year.

He could easily have picked up 3 bookings yesterday …… why he was not booked for the deliberate handball only Clancy knows.
As for his absolute brain fart leading to their winning goal only McGinley knows what he was trying to do
Hense why I said bar his performance yesterday. I don’t recall a time he has let us down this season.

He got ripped apart against Celtic and kept his place.
He got ripped apart against Celtic as those in front of him showed no support whatsoever. I think if we stick with the 4-3-3 and Carroll takes McGinley’s place then the formers poor defending will be worse for us and see us exposed even more down that side. For me Carroll should only come in we move to a 3-5-2.
Bar his display yesterday I think McGinley has done a reasonable job in the back 4 but he’s an easy target for criticism.

I think 352 is the only way to go. Lamie or Donnelly weren’t on the bench yesterday so can’t see them being in the starting 11.
If it’s 3-5-2 the change will probably be Solholm for Woolery and potentially O’Hara for Grimshaw.
I would be excited to see Watt & Van Veen as a front two instead of one of them pushed wide as part of a three although KVV has done absolutely nothing of late so if he does go for the two up top Alexander could opt for Woolery’s pace along with Watt. Woolery does seem to be his first pick every week.

I’ve always thought McGinlay gets a bad time of it from our fans unfairly. Not just on here, but on social media and in the stands too. Criticism was justified today though as he was honking. The full back on the other side though? Deserves any criticism he gets. Not fit to wear the shirt.
Not going to repeat what many others have said about the midfield but I feel our midfield has got much worse without O’Hara being in it the past couple of games.
Still not overly concerned though, if we pick up the three points on Wednesday night we will be in the top 6 after the first round of fixtures. I think we would all be delighted with that at the end of the season considering how dismal it was last year.

To be honest I'm more concerned about our form than Dundee United. Started the season well but we've gone into a wee dip in the last few games and it's important we don't let that continue, especially since we haven't scored in the last two.
How many points were you expecting against unbeaten Hearts at Tynecastle & at home to one half of the Old Firm?!

Dundee United going about their business very quietly. I’ll be delighted with a point. As for the team, who knows? Do we move Grimshaw to right back and bring in Donnelly? Not sure if I’m comfortable with Mugabi at right back although he was a solid 6/10 when he was out there. O’Donnell’s performances haven’t been good enough but I think we sometimes forget he barely had a pre season with his Scotland duty plus injury afterwards.
-
Result was deserved after two moments of madness from Kelly. I wasn’t sold that it was a penalty at the time, the linesman surely had the clearest view of it but did the referee even go over to consult him? I’ve not seen it back yet but many have said it was a penalty so no complaints. 2nd pen I can’t comment on as it was obviously to far away to make judgment on it.
Plenty of positives to take though. I thought Woolery was good, albeit he should have buried his chance straight after the penalty save which would have seen us back in the mix. He just doesn’t seem to be able to strike a ball properly. Mugabi was solid at the back too. On a different day we could have came home with a point.
Criticism for me though has to goto our international experienced esteemed captain. Absolutely rotten. McGinley on the opposite flank wasn’t much better, fairly solid defensively but going forward offered very little. Swapping him for Carroll would have been my first change early in the second half when we had to go for it.
Losing at Tynecastle in the manner we did yesterday was nothing to be ashamed about. Onto the next one.

Would we be having this discussion if it was KVV tweeting about whatever Dutch team he supported as a boy, or Ojala about his favourite team or even Lawless tweeting about Partick Thistle or any other team , I think not.
But because its a tweet about the ugly sisters winning / losing etc every one is all over it, some people really need to get a life and leave all the who tweeted what shite to the blue and green morons who thrive on all that crap.
That’s nonsense. If Van Veen or Ojala wanted to tweet about teams from their homeland then fair enough. The team that employs them are not in direct competition with these sides.
Domestically though, I think it should be a case of doing your job and keeping your mouth shut. Especially on a platform that is so public. We all know Tony Watt supports Celtic but does he bang on about it? Hardly.
Dom Thomas was also guilty of it, which caused him not to be endeared by many.

So he a Rangers fan who feckin cares what team he supports, we should be calling out the no life arseholes that trawl social media looking for any comments like that and reposting them .
Motherwell player tweets support for the team he has probably supported all his life...aye OK nothing to see here.
Is there though? It’s a complete lack of unprofessionalism for me. Just about every place of work now has a social media policy on the go. See if his Twitter profile was private and limited to those who he is friends with etc then fair enough. He can tweet what he wants, but it isn’t. His Twitter profile is available to all including those who essentially pay for him to live a cushty life whilst not bothering his arse about trying to get into the team.
I can’t see him sticking around and suspect he will be Partick Thistle’s problem come January. Even they are above his level though. The guy is crap.
Could it have turned out differently for him though if he scored the penalty at Easter Road?

Fingers crossed we can start talking about Steven Lawless soon in this thread.

Do you reckon we’re going to turn into prime Barcelona after Barmacks initial 300k? Wake up.
The club has been directionless because of one man. Jim McMahon.
I was going to say he single-handedly held the club back for years, but his cronies Feely & Dickie have had a say in things too.
