Just as Falkirk have our number, some teams are a good match up for us. Hearts seem to be one of them. Im expecting a good performance and at least a point from the game. Be a big noisy away support, so would be good to keep our numbers up and finish with a couple of big attendances and push the points over the line for Europe....

Hendry has been out injured for a lengthy period and his lack of match fitness really showed today. He isnt ready to start a game.......

The Forth 😜

I always thought Robinson wasted too much time wrestling with 6ft plus defenders he was never going to get the better of. It seemed utterly pointless as he did appear to have a good first touch and a bit of pace to get in behind. Of course, that could have been down to instruction from Kettlewell. So, I would also be interested to see if he had anything to offer in a Jens team before we just send him on his way.

Was a bit slow getting on today to get my ticket for the Hibs game and they had sold out. I guess we will just need to get used to the stampede for tickets for away games. One of the few downsides to our relative success. I wonder if we are entering the realms of the club starting a ballot or points system, or whether the supposed new league regulations for minimum numbers next season will make that redundant? Edit: Just realised this is the Falkirk thread, so maybe not the most appropriate place for that discussion.....

If the tabloids are to be believed, maybe Jens is taking him to Celtic when he goes! 😜😜😜

Be really disappointed to see Slattery go. He has been a real favourite of mine since he arrived. Such a technically gifted footballer. So glad he got the chance to shine in a team (and with a manager) that he could really flourish with. He has had his difficult times with the injury and obviously with his mum passing, but the fact he has turned it around twice and hit the heights again, speaks a lot for his character. I hope he gets the send off he deserves and wish him well for the future. He has earned it.

It was quite surrreal to be the only Motherwell fan in a bar with a fair few Celtic & Rangers fans and the odd Jambo and be the only one trying not to know the score, but failing miserably as one side or the other would give the game away as their phones vibrated to reveal the latest score update! Thankfully it went the right way and my evening ended up being a very pleasurable one!

Finally getting the chance to visit the Falkirk Stadium, so hoping for a positive result. Falkirk are the only team that seem to have had our number this season, despite not being wildly better than us in any of the games. Pretty sure Jens will want to right that, so hoping for a tactical switch that will blow even John McGlynn's brain!

Was away in Mull all weekend so didnt see any of the game bar the limited SPFL highlights on Youtube. Felt sure we had blown it again when we surrendered another 2 goal lead so was ecstatic to get notification of an injury time winner! Great to put an end to the losing streak and to do it there is particularly pleasing! Hoping Welsh's injury isnt too serious. He didnt appear to be in too much pain during the post goal / post match celebrations!

Seems like 4 decent candidates. Dont know any of them, but Im sure that whoever is elected will do a good job. Best of luck to everyone.

I love Wee Al, but regardless of his fitness, he doesnt fit our signing model any more. We want younger guys we can develop and sell on for a profit. Given he has already been away and done that, I dont think thats happening for him again. I guess you could argue that he would fit the McGinn / O'Donnell mould of experienced guys who get the club, but both of them are gonna be here next season. Do we really need another one?

Not saying we will get £4-5m for Maswanhise, but we certainly wont get his true value if we go into any negotiations with a negative mindset. JT's form might have dropped off a little, but his numbers havent gone down. 22 goals for a guy who isnt an out and out striker is pretty impressive. Also, he has something a lot of other strikers dont have and thats pace. I fancy he will get 1 or 2 more goals before the end of the season, and I trust Brian Caldwell to get the best deal possible for us. Anyone who can get us £1.8m for Theo Bair knows how to negotiate.

Is it the boy Lissah that dives? The reason I ask, is that he was the one that went down when he was wrestling with Said to "earn" his penalty at Fir Park......

There will be no points deductions as it happened in a Scottish Cup game. Banning them both from next seasons Scottish Cup would be a laugh! Id settle for their fans being banned from next seasons Scottish Cup though. Before anyone says it. I know neither are going to happen!

There isnt really a lot wrong with VAR. Yes we got the "Poundshop" version, but I presume that decision was made in conjunction with the clubs around what they were prepared to spend on it. Of course more cameras would give better angles to viee incidents from, and ultimately provide more accurate lines for offside decisions. However, the 2 main issues with our VAR are...... 1. The officials making the decisions are incompetent. 2. Due to their incompetence, they take way to long to come to a decision. Unfortunately, we can have all the cameras in the world, but if those 2 things dont change, the matchday experience will never improve.....

He is paid to be straight talking and a little bit controversial. But tbf its his personality anyway, so he embraces it! I dont have any issues with it. Better than the usual OF arse kissers.

Its a very bad look for the SFA. Banning someone like Mikey Stewart when all he is doing is saying publicly what most fans are feeling in relation to VAR does them no favours. Better to invite critical parties on board in the close season to discuss how to improve the system and how it impacts on the product on the park. This is a huge step backwards.

I think, ironically, Eythor & Stama whould work well as a double act. Eythor has the physicality to hold the ball up and provide assists. Stama would run in behind and feed off those. However, I dont think we are liable to play with 2 up top very often, so probably a moot point.

Longelo v Livingston for me. Great team goal with just about everyone in the team getting a touch. If Brazil 1970 had scored it, folk would still be raving about it.....

Putting McEntee on his arse was delightful! If only he had finished it, I might have had a dilemma for goal of the season!

Seriously dude? 🫣🫣🫣

The Well Society ran a poll on VAR earlier in the season. Not sure if any other clubs have done similar, but there have certainly been similar from other fan organisations. Just needs someone to pull it all together and take it forward. If the SPFL is indeed there to facilitate the clubs, then they would have to listen. No point complaining about it if we dont try to effect change. Im sure the Well Society are well aware of and share the view of most fans.

Best for both parties. A bit like Stama, just hasnt worked out. Also too injury prone to be serviceable for us. If the Saintees want him we should facilitate this.

Im under no illusion of my importance, or lack of, to the SPFL. But I would hope my club views it differently and makes representation to the authorities in conjuction with all the other clubs to try and sort this. As you say, football is an entertainment industry. In a season where we have enjoyed the best football many of us can remember, and attendances are up, we should be taking this one up on behalf of all supporters to improve the experience. It would be an act of utter self harm if fans are driven away from the game due to poor officiating....
