It's funny how difficult it is to play against 10 men, noticed that time and time again. It took Hibs until 88 minutes to finally break down Aberdeen today (eventually scoring twice in the last five minutes including injury time) and they had been playing against 9 men for almost half-an-hour (10 for much of the second half).

Got to be absolutely delighted with a vital 3 points today. And another league clean-sheet. We are now top of that particular table now, six clean sheets in 10 league games, six in the last 8. And we sit fourth, if it's a draw tomorrow we are just three points off second with just one game left of the first third pre-split games. We were always going to get games like during th eweek, it'll happen again this season. Important thing is how you react - we reacted superbly today.

If anyone can't make this game, it's being shown in it's entirety on BBC Alba that same evening. As well as that, the Lanarkshire Derby on 2nd January 2010 at Fir Park is also on BBC Alba.

Voted Bob McHugh. Thought when he came on their defence actually began to look worried.

22nd August, 1981. Scottish League Cup Preliminary Round Group 4. Motherwell 0 Partick Thistle 1 Alan Rough saved a Brian McLaughlin penalty as we lost narrowly. Went to the game as a neutral, came away a Motherwell fan and have been since!

We'll save you the bother and finish the game off inside the full 90 then....

0-0 would mean extra-time and the penalties. One way or another, there has to be a winner on Tuesday night!

Two hours!?!? Bit stupid having Rangers and Saint Mirren both at home and major roadworks in operation at the same time on the only real arterial route to both!! Could've easily had this or the game at Greyskull tomorrow to ease the problems. Once again, shi* planning.

Saw that. Hoped it wasn't true but sadly it is. Still, long way to go in the season.

Got to be delighted that, at the end of October, we are still unbeaten away from home. That's remarkable. I recall one or two folk slating Gannon for getting it wrong tactically earlier in the season, certainly got it spot-on today and wasn't afraid to change again when it wasn't going right. Tuesday's result will be important but not as crucial as a point today, however, you'd have to say we have the edge having fought back being 1-3 down.

Brilliant stuff!!!! Sounds like quite a game, there for the taking now.

That's simply shii*e. After defending so well recently we all but gift three goals. Very disappointing indeed. You don't mind losing so much at times, it's the manner of it after such a good showing a week ago that's the thing for me. I guess it's now more importan thow we react to this and get it out of our system as quickly as possible. Still, now 2-3 so COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gallagher makes a great save to deny Jutkewitcz apparently. Gotta keep plugging away, something will happen.

It's always amusing to find folk who support other teams spending more time on here than on their own boards.........

RRRRRRRRRRRRRrroscoe!!!!!!!!!!!

That really pissed me off did that. Shellic had better face facts, they are pish and the English Premier League might well invite them and Rangers down now to give the big boys a couple of teams to royally hump every week.

Meant to say no-score draw. Nah, honest, honest..............!

After the 5-6 defeat to the Sheepymehs, we went to Tannadiche and then visited Shellic recording successive wins, 2-0 and 1-0. Sure that Saturday there was our first shut-out against Shellic for exactly 10 years!!!! I've searched away back to the early 30s and can't find such a run of games. Impressive stuff indeed.

This p*sh on the BBC website is shocking but no surprise. The video in the middle is a 10-minute resume of the week-end matches, and our game is on about 7 minutes or so in. Only thing is, all we get is a mention about the fact Shellic were playing Motherwell. No action of ours to speak of (we had 5 shots on target), just mention after mention from a certain Silly Dodds about Shellic's inability to see off a wee diddy team. *rses! Beeb

Pretty sure I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. The bit that gets me is the apparent clause in our Manager's contract. How would they know what that contract contains? Bulls*it, or is it possible???? Crewe

I still shudder at that game, how on Earth we managed to concede six goals to that just a few days after they'd been humped 7-0 at Shellic park (who we beat twice in the next half-dozen games!!). After it went 5-6, you'd have thought we'd have went for it but it wasn't like that sadly.

I'd gone for Reynolds. Superb at marshalling the defence and looks every bit the player we know he is.

Heard the under 19s lost 0-1 at home to Falkirk today. That, apparently, barely told the story as Motherwell missed a penalty, their keeper had the game of his life, and Jamie Pollock was sent off in a late, late mass rammy!

Done! One other thing I recall from yesterday was big Yass's reaction to the sung being sung about him. Think he likes it!

Rickoza, mate. If you need to be added as a friend, make the request and it's done!
