Brazilian

Never noticed but yes he is meant to be there with some others

I'll take some more of this,

and why would that have any relevance?

I don't know, I've seen them both over a similar number of games and they've performed to a similar level. so if you're saying Dan is worth a contract then, yes, so is Lee, I don't care for the past history of players, like you do with Hollis, if I did, then Dan would never get a look in at Motherwell either, or have you failed to check his history Oh but wait that would mean Gunnar would be a star....... suppose what I'm saying is on a night after a game, that the Keeper made no errors of significance in, but in reality kept us in it a few times. much like the previous game I'd choose not to make my only comments in the match thread be about needing a keeper

Hollis made more crucial stops today than Dan had to make in his six games

Skys Mark Benstead, tweeting, on review, its looks like officials got it correct

just checked an added the DOBs , young yes, but they're old enough to be making the breakthrough, shame they've not got more game time, we're gonna need a lot of them pretty soon

disappointed to read a thread on a boycott but cant believe a few hypocrites , knocking those who will not spend their money visiting a stadium where they feel its not worth the £22/£12 for whatever reason. saying that, maybe I'm wrong , and, I can look forward to all these great supporters showing up at Celtic Park, because the team needs you and that's all that matters should be a what 7-800, maybe a thousand given its close proximity. if anyone chooses not to go because they feel Hibs , are in the wrong, fine by me, same if its because its £22 a head or because the scheduled date changed with only 2 weeks notice. probably only a handful of fans on a full set of games this season, most everyone makes choices, nae drum at one ground but its welcome at another and you have to make a choice between them, then its a perfectly valid factor for some.

No argument here weeyin, I was still tracking it, like may others would've been also , securing top six is a significant achievement in it's own right, for all the reasons you mention. I've found it interesting to watch the meltdown around the social media sites from our supporters who over the last month, whilst barely even acknowledging the achievement of securing top six. Even the club no longer mention it as a goal achieved? Too right it is an achievement, just how much will probably only be measured when the spend of all the teams for the campaign is revealed in a year.

Our top six berth was confirmed weeks ago, guess its a sign of expectations that there is no running commentary on it, in here, any more. I'm thinking Terry will have them battling again by next week, might not be pretty , but am hopeful that we can take something

Enjoyable match yesterday, quite taken aback, by just how great some are describing it, compared to the two before it was a massive improvement, but not the best of the season. every team we have played were better than Hearts showed yesterday, so it was pleasing that with the changes that were needed (and gratefully happened at last) we did the professional job with a some flair thrown in. the only real disappointment was set pieces, at both ends. wasteful in attack and still very shaky in defence. Delighted the three lads go their game time, Euan Murray was really thrown a challenge in at left back (mental that McCall wouldn't use him on his good foot prior) and Cadden got a lift from his cameo, exactly what's needed to keep the boys interested, teammates from past and present all involved in the congratulations for all the lads. created quite a buzz amongst them. Jack had a great game, quite why some have to name him as Carswells replacement I'm not sure, I'd happily see them together, in a Motherwell team some time in the future

Irony........

See I actually kind of agree with this, bar the fact that the season is not over so I don't think its correct to say it definitively. when the accounts figures come out in a year, and we can judge the cuts that happened and we can see where we finished in the league it could ring true or a more modest measure may be that it was a good league campaign for what we had in the team. the measure of the cup defeats isn't in question but its unfair to declare the league campaign as over.

I was going to give a more detailed response in some sort of discussion,the basis of which being based around: We cannot even put eleven fit players on the park at present, Tiny squad reduced budget yet again league positions decided over a season, look a the opposition and realistically consider clubs capability and achievements. top six secured for another season. a few bad results, confidence shot etc but I think the fact that worrying about holding onto 3rd place is the root of your question, there really is nothing to worry about EDIT: PS I'm not happy at losing, I do think things could be better in areas of the team and subs etc, it was a long drive home on Friday, I'm gutted I'm not there tonight making an even more painful journey home, but 14 or so weeks ago we were in a much worse position, the main worry for me is the horrendous run in, we have heading to the split, the squad is on its knees, with many playing through injuries, putting their selves out there. Lets hope their efforts are worth it, what can we do to help? maybe just keep stum would help in some cases

Fans over reacting and not even looking at the situation realistically? no, haud oan, SNAFU

I'll settle for Ainsworth continuing his awesome run of goals and assists and Vigurs continuing from a good first 45 on Saturday hopefully keeping it going a bit longer this evening although you're team looks decent enough hopefully they'll all make it

I worked in the South East of Ireland (where is southern Ireland?) and I can assure you they have very long memories on these subjects , they might currently be distracted by being turned over by those that raped the Celtic Tiger, but the politics will remain as they have for many centuries yet when they get back on their feet. just mention the name Cromwell and enjoy the history lesson. as for the plastic Irishmen from the East-end, blame their poorly educated parent or grandparents for their confused identity, and some very smart instigators who live off the bile

Motherwell FC as sponsored by Commsworld would seem to disagree with that argument.

Not sure how many made it along Dave, I'm still interested in purchasing some shares if you hear of any on option ? The redistribution was for one season, taken from 2nd spot and given to 3rd-12th Going forward It has not been published afaik , with only speculation which itself would only see benefit for us in a relegation situation.

Some good performances , even if most of them looked rusty and off form. if Las played a chunk of the match with ligament damage he's made of tough stuff Big Mick's goal put him in contention, but I'd go with Faddy, not for 90minutes of excellence but he lit the touch paper and instilled belief that we could take the points

I reckon it'll be at our request to delay it until 1pm, since the SPFL called it for earlier give the pitch every minute extra it can have, they'll also probably steer the ref through the good areas first. Maybe if we had another couple hundred grand in the club reserves from society investment we wouldn't be gambling a pitch to get what £15k? - £25k? cash into club

from the match preview email sent out to real fans or everyone on the clubs email register....

Entrance price for all U16's home or visiting fans on Saturday has been dropped to £5 http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2014/02/10/kids-tickets-reduced-to-just-5/ seems last minute, as a promotion, but fair to do it with Thistle who laid down similar terms before season kicked off for everyone Guess the message is, if you know, even one kid or juvenile, who might be tempted more often let them know or bring them along

The last of the '52 Legends, making it to '91 is a decent life for his generation, but still sad sad news RIP Andy
