Should be a pretty decent crowd. Our numbers are up this season and Sundays result is bound to put a few on the gate. Hibs are playing well and coming off the back of a derby victory. 3pm k/o. No TV. Hopefully get over the 6k mark. Will be a tough game but hoping the momentum we have built up will see us through. A new baby Moult before Saturday would be a bonus!

That has to be one of the best press conferences by a Motherwell manager ever. Totally owned it from beginning to end. He has me feeling 7 feet tall. No wonder the players love him. Starting to feel a little embarassed about being underwhelmed by his appointment. This guy is the real deal.

Definitely freshen it up and give some guys a chance with the morivation of playing themselves into a cup final place. Sunday will have taken a lot out of our players physically and emotionally. We also have Hibs to play on Saturday. Gonna need to start using our squad wisely.

At least the referee was consistent in his leniency!

I love the fact that he is already talking about beating Celtic in the final. They maybe a bigger club. They maybe able to buy better players than us. If they play to their best they will win. But they are human. Their run WILL end sometime. Why NOT us?

I agree that most who want a ticket will get one. But its a great way to highlight the double your money scheme and incentivise uptake. Every pledge is is money we dont have to pay Les back.

Not on Youtube but Brian Martins goal at Ibrox in the mid 90s was an absolute screamer. We didnt win the game though, so in context Colin O'Neils goal is better. That goal v Thistle is a great team goal. Wasnt at that game so never seen it before. Moults yesterday is up there due to the occasion. The fact we hadnt beat them in a cup game in my lifetime and just the sheer audacity of it!

Colin O'Neills all day long. The quality of the strike, the occasion and importance of it and the score at the time. We also hadnt been in a final in 39 years.

It was a bit like Faddys goal in Paris. Absolute silence for a couple of seconds as the disbelief at what we had just seen passed and everyone looked at the linesman to make sure he wasnt offside. Then absolute mayhem ensued.......

Carson was excellent today. Made some really good saves and caught pretty much everything that came anywhere near him. Bowman put in another fantastic shift. Id need to see the elbow incidents again but I didnt think either of them were deliberate. Pretty solid performances from most of the midfield and thought Bigi did really well when he came on. MoM though is Moult. Quite simply we wouldnt be in the final without his goals. The £900k we will have made along the way if we were to win it more than justifies the decision not to sell him. Hopefully if he is to walk for free on the summer it will be as a Cup Winner!

The Rangers banner seemed to be a direct response to the Bois banner. I think the 27-1 is a reference to League Cup wins. Ironic, given that the tribute act havent actually won any League Cups. Just a Petrofac.....

Guarantee a Cup Final ticket to everyone who joins and pledges between now and Final. Lets get 20k there!

Not the greatest game of football, but given what was at stake for both teams, maybe not that surprising. Thought they probably edged the first half. They had more territory and possession than us, and were winning more of the 2nd balls which surprised me. I would say though that clear cut chances were probably about even. Thought the second half was the reverse of that. We got lucky on a few occasions but we had more control of the game, won more second balls and probably deserved to win in the end. Great to put them out of a cup at last. This team just keeps pushing the boundaries of what we think is possible. Now we have 4 weeks to dream.....

This feels like a Cup Final. I only have a 1/3 win rate. Time to balance the books!

Boom Boom Clap..........

Not the best footage, especially with the rotund one summarising. Doesnt show the tackle on Pettigrew but it catches the dive.....

No requirement for extra reasons to hate The Rangers or indeed to want to pump them on Sunday, but the 1976 chat is hard to resist. Wasnt at the game, I was only 7 but my old man was and I remember him bring raging next day and for some time after it. Pretty sure there is Youtube footage kicking about. Compulsory viewing for every Well fan going on Sunday!

I thoroughly enjoyed them! I feel like Im listening to the radio when I listen to the podcast so caught me totally unawares when you let rip. Very funny and very refreshing!

Quality profanities from Busta this week!

Yes. Very sad. Didnt read how he died but said he had struggled since he came back from Afghanistan due to the things he had seen. RIP Christopher.

C'MON MOTHERWELL!

I would go with the same team again tbh. Only change I would consider is Hammell for Dunne but that might expose us for pace that side. If Frear gets a start surely its Tait that drops out? Id stick with him personally. Lets win our battles and the right to play our football. Having Frear Bigi and Tanner on the bench to bring on as impact players if needed is actually quite comforting!

My point was more about any perceived issues with Madden as referee v Sevco.

Good piece of business. Very impressed with the way club are going about things right now. Planning ahead instead of reacting to circumstances like we have in the past. No guarantee of success but should put us on a firmer footing.

Im not naive enought to think choice of referee cant be important, but Bobby Madden was the referee in the play-off game at Ibrox. I dont recall too many bad decisions that night. We just battered them!
