Imagine spending your hard earned cash looking for some entertainment and having the gall to enjoy it. Outrageous.

I hadn't really thought about it, but they mentioned on the commentary at the weekend that Alfred isn't our youngest ever manager. Billy Davies had just turned 34 when took over as player/coach at Fir Park.

They must be worried about us.

This is a recent trend, and it's pretty laughable. I've lost count of the times the corner taker and the linesman have a discussion about exactly where the ball is placed and then... ... kick doesn't make it past the first man.

That was from the Sky commentary.

This time last season, we would probably have drawn (or even lost) this game. The fact that we found a way to win is a good sign.

Hope he does well there as he deserves a break, but history suggests he'll be crocked by the end of September.

Time to beat the jinx, but with a potentially tough game in Finland I'll be happy not to lose. Hopefully we'll have another addition or two in the squad by then.

Paulsen also caught some crosses, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on the second has hit collided with his own player. I'm not sure we would have been punished on another day any more than any other keeper mistake over the years. However, as I mentioned elsewhere on here, I'm not sure why a new keeper receives more criticism for a mistake or two while settling in compared to new outfield players. In the second HB game, established players made a few bad mistakes (like a backpass that sent the HB forward clean through on goal), and barely a comment made.

I don't know what was more pleasing. Scoring that excellent, one touch passing, winning goal or listening to the commentator calling it "classic Motherwell".

Is he fit?

A toss up for me between Said and Moorman, but gave it to Said for the goal.

I've read a few reports talking about our two "goal line clearances". Which is certainly true, but makes it a sound a lot more dramatic than it looked when I was watching it. Thought they were both pretty comfortable.

100% that was going to happen today.

If he can add some more goal scoring to his game he'll be worth more than Just. Great 3 points considering the circumstances, and always nice to get the first league win under your belt. Takes a lot of pressure off the new manager and new players.

Still got it. Take your pick...

Hibs are scared to press us in case we break through them. We still look like a team with players getting to know each other, but improved as the half wore on. Moorman's cross field Hollywood pass the highlight for me.

I was going to say Mulligan had been doing a good job shutting down a lot of our moves. Then he does that.

Are we playing a false 9 or is Said just too deep?

That’s being generous.

True. This game in particular has the feel of a Friday night Championship game.

I wish we were up against that Kilmarnock defence today.

Fair to say the defences have not been on top in the 2nd half. Also funny/annoying listening to the commentator trying to pronounce "McDiarmid Park"

System? Sounds more like a guess. And they want us to use AI assisted VAR.

All this weekend's (and Monday's game) on Paramount. So you get to choose which commentator you want for ours.
