The ref didn't give Aberdeen a goal he gave them a corner. Doesn't matter how good or bad the decision was Motherwell had a chance to defend the corner & see the ball up the park or safely out of play. Not trying to excuse the decision but we lost a goal due to our inability to defend a corner.

With Lasley out i think most people expect to see Humphrey start but i wouldn't be surprised to see McCall go for Daley instead he seems to favour him. Looking at our recent games at Celtic we were poor only having 2 shots the whole match. At Dunfermline we were pish for the first half & against the sheep we were pish for 70 odd mins. Maybe having to bring in a few fringe players is not such a bad thing might freshen things up a bit.

Right there is the all the proof you need to see how the old firm have carved the pot to suit themselves. They know they are going to finish 1st & 2nd and thereby only having a 2% difference in their prize money but then it drops a massive 5.5% for finishing 3rd. How can they justify such a difference between 2nd & 3rd when the rest of the league has no more than a 2% difference. You can guarantee if one of them was finishing 3rd regularly that 5.5% difference wouldn't be long in being abolished. Then they bitch & complain that there is no competition in Scottish football :wank: Just on a side note what part of the above table supports the view that we need a strong old firm for Scottish football to survive?

Maybe not if Rangers newco gets punted to the 3rd division it will be up for grabs every year until we get demoted back down to one CL place.

Not sure what the April 8th is all about but the March 31st was the date they had to be out of administration if im right & they have more or less chucked in the towel on that now Finishing 4th for Motherwell would be an achievement few would have predicted at the start of the season but how gutted will everyone be now if we don't finish 3rd & get CL football at Fir Park.

This being the case should it not be St Johnstone & Killie who end up only getting 18 home games as they are the ones who finished different than predicted? If you are expected to finish in one half of the split & you do end up finishing there then would seem a bit unfair that you are punished due to other teams performing better/worse than predicted.

Would LOVE a ojama hat trick coz i remember auld broon saying he wasn't good enough for Aberdeen that they were looking fo a better quality striker. Shove a quality hat trick right down his fat face.

Read my post correctly you will see i said warrant an offer over 300k i believe blackpool offered 250k so what part of that is wrong?

Facts for what? That he's a passenger in the old firm games? In at least the last 2 seasons he has done the grand sum of hee haw against both halves of the old firm. McCall often hooks him when he remebers he's actually on the park. That's my facts now can you provide me with facts that he does anything against the old firm?

Any English clubs looking to buy him will judge him on his performances against the bigger teams (old firm) & unfortunately in these games it's easier to find Shergar than Murphy. Needs to stand up & be counted more in the big games to warrant anything over 300k to be a valuable asset to a Championship team.

And one at home to Inverness

No one predicting a Craigan OG on his return?

Notice St.Johnstone & Dundee Utd players in the paper today saying they are aiming to overtake us & clinch 3rd. With the possibility of 3rd this year getting you into the Champions League depending on the Rangers situation then if you are ever gonna finish 3rd then this is the season to do it. Massive game against Dunfermline where 3 points are a must just to get back on track & to let the teams below us know that we aren't giving up 3rd place easily & with games running out they can fight each other for 4th.

I would rest Lasley as he's a stick on to get booked & be suspended again. I would also just be happy to see the team give it a right good go the fans to sing their hearts out but hopefully no Union Jacks

Don't disagree with this im just stunned that Hibs fans still think their team is quality and people would jump at the chance to play for them if asked.

Taken from the Hibs forum: Just Back from Motherwell - My Thoughts 1. Thought Griffiths was our best player by a mile - I simply couldn't believe when Fenlon took him off 2. Overall I thought Motherwell looked physically stronger than us and slightly sharper/fitter 3. Noticed that we never had a man on the back post for corners against - that will come back to haunt us some time soon! 4. Sproule - very very poor 5. O'Connor - started off OK but fell away badly 6. The first goal we lost just after half time - absoloute joke from Doherty (I think) and did Stack need to come charging off his line (yes he DID come off his line!) and foul the guy ? 7. Higdon for them was really good- a handful both in the air and with his hold up play (not to mention his overhead kick) - reminded me a bit of of Mixu in his prime - we should try and sign him for next season (IF we stay up) 8. Their keeper (Randolph) made great save at 1-1 - we should try and sign him for next season (IF we stay up) 9. Fenlon - craz subs in my opinion - why did he take Griffiths off and not bring Doyle on ?!?!? Im sure they would give up Europa/Champions League football to play for a pishy Hibs side.

Having been a season ticket holder for more years than i care to remember there's nothing i miss more than going to see the boys do their stuff on the park but missing 90mins a week is a small proce to pay for spending the rest of the week with a much better lifestyle than i could ever have hoped for back in Lanarkshire.

I think he means that the tie could go to a replay. Not very likely but it is Motherwell so nothing is impossible.

Working outside in a brilliant sunny day or standing in the dole queue in the pishing rain. Hmmm what was that about the wrong country?

Deflect deflect deflect. Take the pressure of Humphrey by pointing out that Murphy has been playing at where's Wally for most of the season.

We don't any money for new signings all our budget is being used up on win bonuses

So good i had 2 say it twice. Funny how you can edit your post but you cant delete it when the computer stuffs up

We'll win the away games & struggle with the home games. Higgy will get dogs abuse we'll be told to keep the high balls low & get it up the park asap but keep it on the deck & take your time. Maybe we should wear the unbeaten silver strips at home & confuse the "fans" just there to abuse anyone in claret & amber.

But im still hopeful of a Gunning og

Best we can hope for is a draw coz they will park the bus & we are powder puff upfront at home.
