there is no excuses for the performance and tactics against st johnstone but im not going to let that cloud my judgement on this game too much as we will make changes and play a formation that suits us best against aberdeen.mccall obviously seen this game as the priority rather than the st johnstone game so he should have the players fired right up but with no old firm left in the cup and a home tie in the quarters thats all the motivation our guys should need

with st johnstones problems in central defence we should have been gone there and having a real go at them especially with 2nd place up for grabs,so for mccall to pick a team that had no width,pace or movement in it is baffling.serious improvement needed for midweek or we can forget it

bop have you guys got any displays planned maybe the aberdeen cup game perhaps

good move for both parties imo our youth setup is needing a bit of a shakeup and a new face will hopefully provide that and gordon gets a new challenge elsewhere,best of luck at your new club gordon

even though were at home aberdeen are the team that i wanted to avoid but having said that were more than capable of beating them provided the players turn up which was sadly lacking the last 2 home cup ties against them.a big cup tie under the lights at fir park is always something to look forward too and if its priced correctly then we should see a big crowd on the night

i think we should keep it as simple as possible and play cummins at right back along with the rest of the team that started against killie

you need a ticket to get into the stadium mate due to the turnstyles they have there,if your going just buy your ticket when you get there thats what most folk do anyway if i mind right they start selling them about 1 oclcok

i remember leaving east end park that night thinking we were certs for the drop,that was probably the worst performance ive ever seen from a motherwell team and the whole time malpas was leaning on the side of the dugout not having a scobby what to do.i remember skippy getting sent off im pretty sure reynolds got sent off too

there does seem to be a stagnant feeling surrounding our youth system right now

there was actually quite a lot of folk in the east stand singing hollis name towards the end of the game which was good too hear

he's super quick according to mccall so thats a positive start,we should now see faddy move into a more advanced role which is the biggest bonus of the lot

as it'll be midweek i hope we get a draw thats fairly close by so livi or accies away would be ideal or falkirk at a push

to be fair though mate we were in a winning position against aberdeen until a defence howler,i agree about the lack of attacking force which is a big problem for us right now

let faddy off the leash and lets fucking have them

i thought it was a stick on penalty at the time but seeing that it is indeed a stonewaller,you really wonder about referees at times we dont get a penalty for that but aberdeen got one against us for fuck all

we were ropey as fuck at the back again today another couple of cheap goals given away especially there first,hollis is being hung out to dry a bit by the experience defenders in front of him

thats the problem playing faddy at right midfield he is having to try and do too much like beating 2 or 3 men before he can get himself into a dangerous area,right now he doesnt have the fitness to be trying to beat players everytime he has the ball.id have faddy and vigurs playing right in behind anier for this game and go with a midfield 3 of lawson,lasley and carswell.weve got a good record up there but i would be more than happy with a point from this game

i heard there was a bit of bother before the game but nothing about anybody being stabbed

i dont know what started it but there was a couple of guys having a go at each other it was more handbags than anything else and it was over in seconds when they stewards stept in

quality pics best fans in the country by a fucking mile

hollis kerr hutchy mcmanus hammell lawson lasley faddy vigurs mchugh sutton ive nothing against ramsden but id like to see kerr in at right back he would give us something more going forward especially in that formation ive picked.mchugh helped change the game for us last time at easter road id go with him over anier,playing faddy and vigurs close to each other could be dynamite for us

for a one off game like that id gladly pay £65 to watch real madrid at fir park

fernando ricksen and a dodgy old transit van it could only be carnage

well said grievesie hopefully as many fans as possible come out and support the club financially on the night as well as giving the players our backing,if you have any mates or family members that you could convince to come then do your best to do so.on the football side im quite confident we will get a positive result in this game

im confident the east,cooper and main stands will all be sold out for this game and hopefully prices are decent enough for the demand to be there to open the south
