Your "mate" is charging an entrance fee 😘

I'm thoroughly enjoying this conversation, especially the insight provided by yourself Mr G&F, kudos to you for this 👌 My personal preference would be to remain at Fir Park, and I don't necessarily see this as a sticking plaster, but it absolutely have to be "done right" or it would rapidly turn into a disaster. It's surely possible to build something to be proud of in the footprint of the existing POd, encompassing the necessary corporate facilities and the other value-adding amenities discussed throughout this thread. Likewise the John Hunter. Whilst this currently has a very tight footprint, much of the land behind already belongs to the club (apologies if I'm talking bollocks), the problem lies with the school grounds... A school which is roughly 120 years old and surely due a massive refit/rebuild/relocation(!) which takes me to the local authority. I'd *love* to think that a fan-owned Community Club would matter a lot to the local authority and that the 2 would work collectively towards the same goal. A successful football club brings money into the area and helps put the place on the map, so positive collaboration should be a no-brainer. However, unless things have changed dramatically in the past decade or so, I think MFC is way down the list of any focus and/or priority of NLC. Moving elsewhere, and I can't think of anywhere other than Ravenscraig, will mean not only dealing with NLC, but (as other's have said) many others into the bargain... This gives me the absolute fear. It's also hard to imagine us getting anything other than a St Mirren Park affair stuck in the middle of a brownfield site where the existing amenities already seem dated. It also feels like 5-7 years away even if papers were signed today. One thing's certain, we need a decision a plan, and good communication of both in the very near future.

I heard the smallest of whispers that there were "technical difficulties" with the audio during *that* VAR review... But I'm sure that's nonsense 🫣

And it's an absolute belter.

See you next season, enjoy your extended break. What an absurd take on things.

Does anyone know if the Centenary has a walk-up bar these days, or is it Hospitality only?

An excellent point... Ya smart arse. 😜

Has anyone had any difficulties purchasing online tickets for this game? Tried 3 different browsers on 2 different phones, but couldn't get to the "basket" to complete the purchase. Gave up and bought a good old paper ticket... Something to treasure in the future as part of my "memories of the '25 Cup Win" 🙏

A very poor first half, helped along by a referee who thinks every fall is a foul... and we (Slattery) is every bit as guilty as Utd. Hopefully a HT shake-up, coz that ain't winning any game.

I came across this analysis on X by @johnwalker_1986 and was going to share on the Hibs thread, but this seems a more appropriate place given it shows how much of a transformation has taken place in such a short period of time. Frankly, it's astonishing; < Motherwell: Dominating Without the Ball A lot of praise has rightly went to Motherwell & Jens Berthel Askou for their work "With the Ball" but last night was a clinic on how to control a game "Without the Ball". Hibs Analysis > Wing-Backs High & Wide to Deliver > Hanley "Limited" Distribution Quality > Barlaser Key in Building Through Lines Motherwell Press: > Leave Hanley Spare > Front 2 Pressing Outside CB's > Just Blocking Barlaser > Triggers to Jump on Hanley After Bushiri Pass inside > Frustrates Wing-Backs to Drop Deeper & Deeper Just Intelligence & Scanning Elijah Just is one of the signings of the season, he has absolutely everything but last night his intelligence and technical ability without the ball was exceptional: > Regularity of Scanning for Barlaser > Blocks Barlaser & Creates Chances to Jump > Wins Penalty & Scores off the Back of that work Work-Rate When Broken Albeit happened only once in the 30mins the game was 11v11, it helps when players work-rate is at such a high intensity when Hibs did break through, Motherwell got back behind the ball & forced an error. Best Coached Side in the Country Currently 👌 >

Yeah, agree. I think the editing process will generally mean we don't get to see the real us. Highlights tend to focus on the lead-up to shots on goal / goals, but a lot of our intricate passes (lovely to watch as it is) doesn't actually lead to that.

Whilst I agree with your statement, I absolutely do not believe the technology used in Scotland can prove this beyond doubt.

Well he does bring a certain pedigree chum, wouldn't you agree?

He looked like a man, whom never having played football, drunkenly agreed to play with his mates. Waking up with a dreadful hangover, and struggling to understand why the fuck he had agreed to something so silly, he didn't want to let his mates down. So, despite his reservations, he put his dad's old Samba's on and did his best to impersonate a footballer. And fooled no one. Onwards to Wednesday!

Elihah Just... A diamond in steaming pile of dug meat.

This is now a must win game... As in, at least someone must win. Everything to come together and comfortable win for the good guys.

"I don't think any players will improve if I only talk in clichés and headlines". 👌 This is getting into marriage proposal territory.

Is every cunt ok?

927 apparently. Hopefully take a bumper crowd up to Perth next week and exercise last seasons demons.

Continuing to play Watt as a lone striker is absurd, even at this stage of the season, and especially in a dead-rubber... And that's not intended as a slight on the player. Glad that this will be the last time I watch this particular flavour of The Well, onwards to the next.

Is every cunt ok?

Peter Zeidler. 62 year old German, formerly of Bochum and St Gallen amongst various others. Likes to wear a black skip cap to hide a big nose, but leaves his largish ears exposed (no offence intended Herr Zee). Known to enjoy sitting in the cauld, might also enjoy managing Motherwell.

Sadly, it's not just today.

I don't post much, but just wanted to check that every cunt is ok? Viva Motherwell

I've no idea how anyone can think that depriving the team of your support, whilst giving those at the root of your grievance a significantly easier day at the office, is a particularly effective protest. Then again, I've no idea why anyone can think stealing a drum from someone makes them a football fan.
