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.

Nah. You beat them with movement and passes. Don't want to get dragged down to their level – just give Said the ball and leave him to it.

Go, as they say, figure.

Not to derail the thread, but the most confusing one for me at work was when they talk about "tabling" something. Instead of meaning "to put something in front of someone for discussion" it means the exact opposite - to put something away and maybe talk about it later. I feel the need for some pudding now,

You're right. In fact I just checked the UEFA website, and apparently you can register 2 in that window as long as you maintain the minimum quota of 8 "locally trained players".

That was just Messi.

Aberdeen certainly staying true to Robinson's principles so far in the Hearts game.

I gave up watching the Falkirk game after the first half and went to buy some booze. Watched the end of the Tranmere v Rochdale Carabao Cup match when I came back. Went to penalties, which Rochdale won 2 - 1. The commentator said "I've seen a lot of poor penalties in my time, and most of them have been in this shootout"
