  1. We were in my view worth a draw against the 2nd best team in Scotland. Cant declare this as a fact but will raise an eyebrow to anyone that disagrees.

     

     

     

    Get behind the team! Plenty of points to be won, If your wanting glory year in year out head west!

    1st half we we were solid continuing on from good work of the last 2 games but 2nd half we caved in. I have supported the team for over 30years hen! And will support them till I die however basic decision making has been very poor this year. I don't expect glory every year but effort should be a given and the 2nd half we did not show anything!

  2. Dont you have eyes? Do you listen and take things as gospel?

     

    Because this person says it it must be true! How pathetic!

     

    The lad played well, we played well! The only fault was that we had two mistakes that should have been avoided.

     

    The signing of McDonald is a master stroke and I have faith we wont be in the play off position.

     

    As for Ross will beat Accies, well gentlemen guess who we play next week and guess who is the form team!

     

    Get behind the lads great performance, shame errors cost us.

     

    We were playing the 2nd best team in Scotland! We made them look AVERAGE!

     

    In response to Leanne baraclough Wot pish u talking hen?! That 2nd half performance was absolutely shocking. We basically gifted them the game with 2 very soft goals. As for baraclough. Not 1 of his signings have done anything. Skippy and Pearson were not signed by him!!

  3. Inverness showed just how embarrassing it was going to Ibrox in the next round and scudding them 3-0 at a canter.

     

    Agree!

    We lost against rangers b4 the game had even begun.

    McCall spoke down our chances all of that week, even though we were top of the league at the time. That attitude fed into the teams performance(or lack of it) that night.

    We should have had a bit of baws and bit of self belief, arrogance that night and went out and spanked them!

  4. You know what, reading through the last few pages, some of the stuff on here isn't too distant and echo's the woeful displays on the pitch.

     

    Calling for Higginbottom to be retained last season instead of Faddy for example, tell me 1 fan who was unhappy, nay ecstatic we'd retained him. Of course hindsight is a great thing.

     

    Another example is Dan being the key to our season, how many championed him on here, thinking his presence between the sticks was the key to our 6 game run last December and now he's too small and weak.

     

    I've seen Steelboy request McCall resign and it got 4 likes ...... gents have a long hard look at yourselves.

     

    As has been pointed out, cups mean prizes in terms of silverwear and cash while league position counts for something, our form here in the majority of his time in charge is well below average.

     

    Would I like him to give the opposition less credit pre-match? Yes. Do I want him to stop writing us off in advance with visits to Parkhead? Yes. Do I want him chased out my club to be replaced with a Yogi Hughes type journeyman? No.

    I was that 1 fan who wasn't ecstatic at the return of faddy! Very poor decision I thought at the time and still do. Some may argue that he was played out of position but the guy should have been head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch regardless of where he played and he wasn't. Higginbottom was hungry younger alternative and we let our hearts rule out heads on that 1!!

  5. Most of the problems at Motherwell go way beyond individual player performances so to that end I think it is wrong to criticize Dan Twardzik or question a 2 year contract for Keith Lasley.

     

    Motherwell are failing at a strategic level. The signs are there but time and again we do nothing to change it, that is partly down to Stuart McCall but also others in charge at Fir Park. I certainly wouldn't say Stuart McCall is a "poor manager" but in certain regards he has made mistakes and what is infuriating is that he makes the same ones over and over again. We do not seem to be able to learn or adapt.

     

    We've had some short term success but what have we actually gained from it as a club except huge debts?

     

    Spot on with all of this! Everything is focused on short term at the club. From bringing faddy in for a year rather than keeping (younger better and probably cheaper option in my opinion) higginbottom.

    The average age of the team is slowly creeping up, the pace has slowly went out the team as well which was one of our strengths.

    Striker and centre half on loan from somewhere please!!

  6. we don't offer long enough contracts or tie people down to the club, soon as we have a player who looks to have bags of potential say hutch for example or ojamaa we should be ramming 4 year contracts down their throats and talk them up to be world beaters after every game, then knock back some offers and let everyone know we have, could have easily fetched a good few million for them two if we'd had some balls

    Absol fucking utely! The failure to do this lies mainly with former general manager and board. I really think the success on field has masked major flaws off field. Have our attendances went up? Got large transfer fees for players? Signed up our best players on long term deals? Struck better sponsorship deals? I would say no!

  7. The botom line is the team was not prepared enough, the number of games played before this tie was never going to get the team match fit.

     

    The club allowing players to leave for zip also is coming home to roost as SM has no funds to adequately replace outgoing players.

     

     

    I have been taken to task, even abused personally, for stating this previously by other SMol posters but facts are facts, no club can keep allowing players to leave for o return.

     

    Totally agree with comment on letting players go for free. Something wrong with how we deal with contracts at fir park. Hibs got millions for players few years ago and United are now following suit yet we have better team than both yet we can't seem to get anything for anyone!!

  8. That was probably the best and most disciplined tactical performance I've seen under Mccall.

     

    Absolutely spot on. McCall deserves massive credit for tactics 2day. Stuck to the game plan and got a wee break at the end. Mcinnes going ballistic at ref at end of game was hilarious!!
