I think Accies will be more vulnerable in the play off than Inverness. Inverness have had a poor season but they aren't a poor team. There are some very good players in there and they have actually lost fewer games than us or Dundee this season. Accies are really struggling for goals. You have to go back to November to find them scoring two goals in a match without the aid of a penalty. If you look at both Falkirk and Dundee Utd their goal power far exceeds their ability to keep them out. If Accies can't score twice in a match they won't win the play off.

If we got Scougall I'll do a handstand and bellow "yasssshhhhhuurrghhh"

Sadly Ainsworth is just one of those guys with all the talent in the world but what for ever reason just can't tap it on a consistent basis. And I don't think it's right to blame managers or positions he's played. It's him. But even though he was pish 75% of the time I'll still feel a bit sentimental if/when he goes. He's given us some great memories and good luck to him in the future if that's him away.

Are you saying Hammell isn't the best crosser in the team? I just said he doesn't get into advanced positions as much as he used to so obviously there is going to be less assists.
-
Carey is a player with an excellent final ball. Something we lack when Hammell isn't around. And lets face it Hammell doesn't get into advanced positions as much as he once did.

Pretty much this. In fact Strachan said he would have played at international level if he had more pace. I think this says it all Keith Lasley is 38 years old and he's still a first pick midfielder. Even now, when he's not the player he was, he's a much better player than many younger players in our squad. In fact with the ball in front of him I think we'll be lucky to get anyone better. Lasley's problem now is when the ball is behind him he just can't get back anymore. However, he's basically there because he's seen off all challengers for 11 years. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Craigan, Hammell, Lasley - these guys were the very core of one of the most successful periods in the clubs history. Perhaps in hindsight they will be appreciated more than I think they have been by some in the present. Next season - I think Lasley could still be a good player at a lower level if he wanted to continue. He could even be a useful squad player for us. But now is the time to move forward - the squad needs a huge rebuild and now is probably time for Lasley to take that step back. We'll miss him though and when will we see his likes again?

Before last night the last time I missed a home game was in 2010 and we thrashed St. Johnstone 4-0. Maybe I should just stop going! -

Missing my first home match in 7 years tonight. What a one to miss! -
Went for McHugh - thought he showed a bit of calm and composure when others were hacking at it.

Unlike today we'll be up against a couple of rough house strikers who will put themselves about. Not exactly our strong suit. -
Scottish Premiership Hamilton Accies V Motherwell Sat 13 May 15:00

Pretty much. We have a coach who's tactic is 'shitefest to 10th'. Huge game, must win, we did and I'm thankful for that but......there was just so much wrong today. The tactics, the quality, the level of performance, the decision making. We scraped a win against an awful Accies team and still nearly blew it at the end. Hopefully we can get the win midweek, guarentee 10th and just bury this season under 6 feet of earth. Big, big changes required. -
Grant Hanley was signed for £6 million.

How ever has Row L Seat 84 can play left back over either of those two! -
A Scottish Cup win, a Championship title, another Scottish Cup semi final and a League Cup Final and 50% increase in attendances?

It wasn't a disaster. He got us top 6 last season. I wouldn't advise you hold your breath until we are in that position again.

This criticism has always baffled me. What good leader, never mind, football manager doesn't have an ego? Were Alexander the Great, Napolean, Jim McLean or Fergie shy retiring types?
-
It's impossible to say if McGhee would have kept us up but I've said it before and I'll say it again - McGhee is the only manager who has done anything other than scrap along the bottom with Austerity Motherwell. Personally I think he should have been given at least one more game, the match at Kilmarnock, but the supporter reaction to the Dundee match really panicked the club into making the choice that they did. What was that choice? To replace McGhee with a vastly inferior manager. Since then we have dropped to second bottom, our goal difference is worse and our points per match average has basically stayed the same (actually decreased by a very small margin) despite having an easier run of matches. Our performances have been poorer over a more sustained period and in actuality changing the manager hasn't made any positive impact. Given McGhee's record, and the clear lack of potential quality replacements, I think we were a little bit hasty in the decision. However it's also true that McGhee's behaviour had become erratic and bizarre and he seemed to have lost the players. Was it a phase or something more serious? We'll never know because history didn't transpire that way.

It would be absolutely hilarious if Rangers signed Heneghan. It would be absolutely tragic if Rangers signed Moult.

Dundee Utd have been up and down all season but are finishing in decent form. They have more goal power than Falkirk with Murray, Andreu and Mikkelsen. Their achilles heel is they aren't great defensively but neither are Falkirk I still fancy United to get through to the final. All the chat is that the Championship has been fairly weak this season, no great teams. I think any of the Premiership teams will be strong favourites to win.

Cos he's murder? -
I don't mind changing the short colours here and there for variety but basically our colours are amber shirt, claret hoop, white shorts and I think we need to get back to the more traditional strip. Far and away the best strip we've ever had was the one we wore in a friendly against Leeds Utd a few years back. Absolute belter.

Blyth and Bowman have 12 starts 15 subs and 1 goal between them. El Bahktaoui's has 11 starts 15 subs and 3 goals. 3 x as many goals for, presumably half the wage outlay. El Bahktaoui's 3 goals would make him our 3rd top scorer behind Moult and McDonald. And putting aside the stats - he's just a much more capable player than certainly Blyth and probably Bowman as well. 'Making any sort of impact' can sometimes come down to the manager preferring to play a big guy like Haber up front on his own and the style of football employed - which probably hasn't been in El Bahktaoui's favour. -

The sticking plasters over his ears should have given it away. -
Hammell, Lasley, Campbell, or McHugh. McHugh was involved in that calamitous goal although Jules put him right in it, Hammell went off, that leaves Lasley and Campbell and I'll give it to Campbell. He went off as well though although who knows why....

One time I saw Jens Lehmann buying plastic cutlery in the pound shop. Guess that was a sign we were staying up on a technicality.
