Stopped watching Sportscne years ago for the same reason I stopped buying newspapers: old Squirm bias, and whoever are their lovvies at the time.

What a performance, man of the match from Josh law. Marvin Johnson a close second.
FFS, are you trying to get barred from this site !!

I was fortunate enough to be growing up at a time when Joe played his football with us, and as has been mentioned already, the word legend hardly seems enough for a guy who lived and breathed the club, and a truly nice guy. Each generation has its favourites, and for my generation, Joe Wark is right up there.
He was quite simply the best left back I've seen at FP, and never got the recognition he deserved because he didn't play with one of the media darlings.
Yet another Dosser taken before he should have - RIP sir

I have not watched any of the game and will not be watching it but I find this concerning to hear. I think there are two things we are much better at under Baraclough than we were under McCall. They are passing and fitness. Sadly when I look at the last few games, our players (especially defenders) have got lazy and rather than passing the ball they are treating the ball like a hot potato and walloping it as hard as they can. If we trust in our ability to play out, we may lose some daft looking goals but we'll be under less pressure and lose less goals like the one it sounds we lost on Saturday.
I agree that when we pass the ball, we look like a decent team, but we seem to resort to the hump up the park way too often - I couldn't believe it when we were doing the same when Skippy came on against Accies - the big centre half hardly lost a ball in the air in the 2nd half, so how on earth did we expect Skippy to beat him in the air and create anything.

Luke Watt wont be appearing in the first team for a while
1st half against Accies, I thought Barra got it right - he changed our set up and we managed to nullify the threat of Ali Crawford - something we haven't done for seasons. However, our widemen didn't track back enough and there were several times where their full backs were in acres of space - there is no surprise that's where the goal came from, however it should still have been avoided.
I still feel Law is getting more and more stick than he deserves. There were many times where our widemen are not tracking back, he needs to leave his man to close another player down - Accies were clever and exploited it. Everyone has a job to do, and if someone doesn't do it - there is a knock on effect somewhere in the chain
I liked the look of Grimshaw again - willing to get stuck in and looks as if he can make a pass - however, to do this, he needs to have options - players need to want to take the ball.
We can't go for wholesale changes from Saturday and we need to go with a strong team - we had chances on Saturday, if we could've taken one - the score could've been so different. East Fife proved we need to be on our game. Morton won't be pushovers and certainly will be fitter and not run out of steam
Wouldn't disagree with most of that, though the 2nd half was poor - stopping a punt up the park to the 1 striker would be a bonus as well.
Hat off to you sir - I'm definitley NOT going - home games only for me from now on - shelled out enough to other clubs, only to be served crap, by my own, as an end product.
Shocked and stunned ! You'll change your mind as it gets closer as you'll just swear and curse at the radio instead

Yet another hard luck story, the 6 goals we have lost so far this season have been an absolute joke.
Not outplayed today but we really need to stop shipping such god awful soft goals.
Hell of a lot of unforced errors putting ourselves under unneccary pressure. To watch us having a free kick in their half ending up in a goal to them was soul destroying.
Really likes the look of Moult.
Completely agree !
Another game where the opposition have plenty of the ball, but don't look like doing much that we can't cope with, until we give away another two comedy goals - The build up to Hearts 2nd goal aside, the goals lost would be criticised at amateur level, never mind professional.
It appears to me that our style of play this season is to let the opposition have the ball and they have to work hard to score - downside is we keep gifting fecking goals.
Thought Moult had a pretty good game, and Skippy was much more effective in a more advanced role, but there's no getting away from the fact that we lack something creative in the middle of the park
Not overly worried yet, but we need another win soon.

Not a thumping, because until the penalty it was difficult to see where either team were going to conjure up a goal. Even up to their second the game was there for the taking and we did engineer a few flurries towards their goal - though I doubt Alexander has had a quieter night than he did last night. I think what is disappointing to most is the lack of the 'pressing game' which featured so prominently in the destruction of Rangers and which Hearts deployed so effectively against us last night. The time and space afforded to Hearts players all over the park was criminal. Hearts players clearly had been instructed to put pressure on us immediately, which in turn led to a succession of misplaced, hurried passes, surrendering possession cheaply to them. Mirror that when they had the ball.
I have to admit there not as good a team as the media and Hertz fans would have you believe, but they are competent, something we have to strive to achieve in the coming weeks.
Why they quite had to resort to time-wasting tactics as soon as they went in front beggars belief. Callum Paterson is a f....g w..k and their number 18 is crap - happier now I've got that off my chest.
Can't disagree with much of that !
Thought we were very poor, with Hearts looking no more than average, although they didn't have to be much better last night. And agreed, until the penalty, I couldn't see us lose a goal.
As poor as we were, we did create a few good breaks, but the final ball never seemed to delivered or the right option. Skippy will do a job for us, but not in our half, he badly needs to be pushed up the park. He's not started the season particularly well, but I'm sure he knows that more than we do.
If Fletcher isn't ready for Saturday, I'd be tempted to go with Skippy and Clarkson as the attacking options - nothing against Moult so far, but he looks lost trying to play a lone striker role.
And keep it narrow when defending by all means, but the wide men disappeared last night, save for the odd occasion. We used the width to good effect in Inverness (wasn't at Utd game !), but we failed to stretch their defence too often.
Dare say I could through the team and pick faults, but at this stage, it's one bad performance, so lets see if we make a better fist of things on Saturday

How much are tickets? each.
If it's only the top tier that's left, it's £24 - even my Jambo mates reckon it's a pip off, but that's what it is !

Maybe my memory of the play is clouded in the run up to ICT putting the ball out for the throw in to allow the sub on , but play did go on for a few minutes with the players off the park, and I didn't see them in a rush to play the ball out when they were going forward. Normal sequence of events is to wait on a natural break in the game to allow the sub to be made.
Sorry, but in my eyes, doing what ICT did was schoolboy stuff, and they should have paid the price with Marv scoring

As much as Dan's physical stature isn't akin to what most would like between the sticks, he had as many gaff's per game as the larger Long and also wasn't helped by a constantly changing/keystone cop defence during McCall's reign.
I'm happy to bash him if his reputation and ability are beyond saving however his attitude and endeavour were not mirrored by those on more money and with more experience last season.
I would like to see a new keeper but I also feel we have a very capable understudy in Dan and if we are facing a month with him as the only option until deadline day then it's not the biggest of our problems.
Shitey, snide remarks on here add nothing.
Spot on

Livinston designer outlet is the multistorey carpark but you can also park on the right hand side of the road behind the majestic wine shop and walk down the steps and over the burn.
If you are going remember it is 7pmKO. I arrived at 3:20 last Saturday and had to convince a woman in the main entrance to let me in as all the turnstile operators had f****d off just after 3pm.
Wasn't that bad, you got to sit with the prawn sannie brigade

Was through and paid for my season last Saturday, and as long as I get the book before the season starts, I'll be happy !

Oh god please
Rennie, Watson, Wark, Goodwin, McLaren, Millar, Graham, Pettigrew, McIlwraith, Taylor and Goldthorpe. Think that was the team that day - Willie really led big Roddy 'The Proddy' a merry dance lol
Reckon that team could hold its own even now.
Cracking team that was ! Willie P and Bobby Graham were a partnership made in heaven.
And still smile when I think of Jim McIlwraith - if I remember correctly, he used to wear his shorts way down his legs compared to everyone else.
Surprised we're changing the strip after a year, but if it's not the band, I'll happily go with a diagonal.

Just finished McLean's autobiography and found it (as a Dosser) a great read.
He covers all his professional career, but a surprising amount of the book covers his time at the Well: shouldn't be surprising given the number of years with us, but he obviously has taken the club to heart.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed the pre and post Well parts of the book as well.

Thought season ticket seats were held until today?
If any season ticket reserve isn't taken up by close of play today, it's up for grabs tomorrow.
Assume the jist is all tickets other than season tickets for the East have gone.

Shuts at 3.30pm today and is open from 10am tomorrow, not sure when it shuts though.
I managed to get out yesterday afternoon, but the above info is correct and I think they said closing at 14.00 on Saturday.
They said the East stand is as good as sold out with not much left in the Cooper ! I got my own seat, but my lad could only get one of the few seats in Row A of the East

They are siding with Motherwell. Had 5 different messages of good luck from the dons fans i have as mates.
Despite what happened in May last year - they don't really mind us and they absolutely hate the vermin!
A couple of Edinburgh based Dons fans are desperate for us to win this - can't hide the fact that if the Sheep were playing the Bigots, I'd also be firmly in the Sheep's corner for 2 games

If I mind rightly it's one of those automated turnstiles that require you to scan a ticket, so you'll need to either get one at Fir Park or from the wee window in the away stand.
Once you're in I think it's a case of pick your seat, or at least I don't ever remember being told sit in allocated seat.
Was curious on this as well.
Either last season or tail end of one before, we took a big support down and pretty much filled our end - a large number of folk were buying their ticket at the wee office, and grabbed a seat wherever they could - there were a number of fans who'd obviously got their tickets from Motherwell and were far from happy at getting the dregs of the seats rather than the seat on the ticket - plenty of noise made about it, but no one was moving.
Expect the same, so get there early !

I've nothing personal against Long, and I can't see IB dropping him, but for me, the lad looks the part, but just hasn't delivered - for a tall lad, he just doesn't command his area and by me reckoning, Dan is the better of the two. Long may well mature into a right good keeper, but he's not there yet !
Hopefully Johnstone will be fit, but either way, we have to play on the deck and through the midfield - there are times when a long punt may be the right ball, but resorting to this as a regular tactic is for me self defeating.
We play and apply ourselves as we can, we win - if we don't, we better hope County have a real off day, cos we'll more than likely toil.
Thinking positive.

Like Weeyin, I'm not happy at what's been on offer this season, but I've followed my team for near 50 years, and yes there have been periods when it's been torture, but I will be at the home games, and very probably the Midden, that are left, and regardless of what division we end up in, I'll be there next year as well. I've no doubt I'll be pulling out the little hair I have left, I could well be frustrated as hell, but I'll still give what backing I can.
Each to their own when it comes to making their decision, but there I'll be.

Hearts V Motherwell Sat 16 January

I was gutted at the result, but not being at the game, it's surprising how quickly I've got over it - like others, the loss of Las and Grimshaw concerned me, and I've no doubt the Boss got his team selection wrong, but hey ho !
It's how we respond next week that will tell a bigger story - psychotic maybe, but looking forward to it.
