No been a drop of rain down there all day, game wil be fine.

We signed Bob Malcolm who carried more baggage than Heathrow handlers and he got far less bad time on here. Give the guy a chance, if we sign him he should get the backing any Motherwell player deserves.

Eremenko's no a happy bunny. Still, not as if it's something we don't know about them from Ibrox...... Kilmarnock midfielder Alexei Eremenko claims he spends his time in Scottish football trying to avoid getting his leg broken by hatchet men - and singled out Rangers as being particularly brutal. The talented Finland international has found himself the subject of some harsh treatment since arriving on loan from Metalist Kharkiv last summer. Eremenko, 27, came in for some particularly close attention in the 3-0 Scottish Cup defeat by the Light Blues at Ibrox last month when Steven Davis and Steven Naismith both picked up yellow cards for fouls on him. His frustration boiled over against Dundee United at Rugby Park almost a fortnight ago when he was shown a straight red card for his reaction to a foul by Scott Robertson. The former FC Saturn playmaker, who returned from suspension for Wednesday's 1-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park, moaned about his visit to Govan as he revealed his strategy for preventing serious injury. "In Scotland it is physical and they like playing hard and I have nothing against playing hard," he said. "But it's crazy to think there are people who would try to injure you or break somebody's leg. Against Rangers I felt the tackles were pretty bad, some of them were really, really shocking. "I remember taking the ball to the corner and they just smashed me. I think about trying to avoid the dangerous tackles and I've been good at that. People think I jump because I'm trying to get a free-kick but I'm jumping to protect myself. "If I stay on the ground when someone is going to tackle me then they are going to break my leg. There are nutcases in every country and I don't think they are going out to deliberately hurt me although maybe managers are telling them to play hard with me. Maybe they want me to lose my temper but we are all human."

Gavin Gunning has never played first-team football for Blackburn Rovers.

MyPa 0 Motherwell 2. He was, honestly, oustanding that day. That was it unfortunately.

Andy Roddie. The original one-game wonder......

I suspect these stats regarding percentage posession is based on the last five minutes when you look at it. They did have most of the ball in the last five minutes as they were attempting to waste as much of it as possible.

Terrific performance from everyone today, on and off the park. On both counts, the best team lost. Can't understand the serious anti-Craigan stuff which is going on, aye he lost Naismith for the goal but the cross shouldn't have been allowed to come in. Players should take all the many positives onwards, get through Saturday and a favourable draw and you have another semi to get it right. Well done Motherwell, players, staff and fans alike.

Far as I am aware, it's 24 hours before the game. That's mean 3pm today I'd have thought.

Guys back in action today....and a great result. Saint Mirren 0 Motherwell 2

Saint Mirren fans probably felt they were getting gubbed in the final last season. Only some shambolick decisions by Gus McPherson cost them the cup in the end. It's a game of football, form goes out the window. We can win it, of course we can.

Highlighs look like only one team in it - and they got beat. As has been said, if that was a penalty, then I look forward to seeing at least half-a-dozen a side in each SPL game for the rest of the season.

Doesn't help when the BBC do this......... Idiots

F*ck. Ah well, bring on Sunday.

Did you have to say that? 1-1 in Paisley!

Great save from Randy apparently there.

Somebody called Blackman scored at Inverness. Need to get a win, come on Motherwell.

I hope they aint surprised.....

Forum I know it's fans forum, but they seem to think it won't be moved. And as three games are already selected for live TV, unlikely to b.

Ra morra mate!

Soudnds like some game. Player to watch would be Armand One, former Partick man. Pretty sure they were relegated from the 2nd Division last time we faced them, but were a much better side than they are now..... Scottish FA Cup - Round 5 - KO 15:00 Stranraer 0 (0) - 4 (1) Motherwell Wright 31 (og) McFadden 54 Adams 59 Lehmann 87 on 22-03-2003 Stranraer: Hillcoat, Gaughan, Wingate, Farrell, Wright, Aitken (Curran, 80 ) , Jenkins, Moore (Kerr, 78 ) , Hodge (Kane, 58 ) , Finlayson, Harty Subs not used: Fallon,McCulloch, Motherwell: Dubourdeau, Corrigan, Partridge ( Cowan, 67 ) , Vaughan, Adams, Leitch ( Fagan, 80 ) , Lasley, Pearson, Hammell, McFadden ( Clarkson, 84 ) , Lehmann Subs not used: Craig, Woods, Bookings: None Attendance: 4500 Referee: Douglas McDonald (Scotland)

Gathering Pace......

In their face from start to finsh. That's how to beat them.

And instead of the usual getting tore into the club, should the SPL not get the blame?

I'd agree. And I think a few who doubted his signing would do too surely.
