Ya Bezzer!

You'll have Falkirk, QoS, St. Mirren, Hibs and Motherwell or Rangers just for a start. So 50% good enough for the Premiership. Then you have clubs a little bit below that like Raith Rovers, maybe Morton and Livingston ended the season strongly. Only really lower level clubs will be Dumbarton (minus Murray) and Alloa.

Not much difference between most of the top level and most of the level below it.

Piteous dregs of society IMO.

All due respect but you sound like one of those blathering idiots in films that the hero grabs and slaps around the chops to knock them out of their hysteria. This is a 50/50 match. We might lose but we might win. It's there for us if we approach it properly and ditch all the Private Frazer stuff. Imagine what a boast it would be if we could get a couple of supports out for these matches that actually got behind the team and backed it for 90 minutes instead of grumbling, sitting silently, howling abuse at their own players etc, etc. It's two games. Give yourself an optimism injection.

I like to watch the players training especially shooting practice and Moore strikes the ball quite well and has one of the more accurate shots in the squad. After Ainsworth, Sutton and McDonald, he seems to hit the target more than most but I've not really been impressed with his play whenever I've seen him.

Those four matches you have mentioned were very much the highlights in a full match season. We had an 11 and then a 9 winless streak that season. That's two winless streaks worse than our worst run this season which is 8.

Have you been following Joe Hart's career at all?

I think Ruddy wasn't especially good in his second loan spell, as good as he was in the first. For me, he dipped quite a wee bit in the second half of the season. Randolph was also here for 3 years whereas Ruddy was only here for 1. Randolph's level of performance and the consistency of performance over that length of time I think puts him ahead of anyone else in my time.

I've been saying it since about October. If we escape relegation this season it's been a success. If it goes to the last minute of a two legged play off, so be it. As for this guilty chat, a lot of the players in that squad this season have contributed significantly to almost a decade of unparalleled league finishes. This season has been very poor but the key part of that phrase is "this season". Fans need longer memories before they start going around looking to scapegoat players, especially guys that have done a lot for this club down the years.

Twardzik.

Dead rubber match that was totally insignificant and it showed. Does Moore offer anything more than McHugh? Clean through twice today and didn't have the pace to even make it to the 18 yard line. Agree Watt showed a little something. When these guys get a starting chance they have to stand out a bit and Watt did that. Twardzik showed he's better than Long though. Should start next week but probably won't.

Rangers are stinking. Hibs are stinking. If we get relegated this season Baraclough needs to be fired.....out a catapult.

In my opinion we don't want to lose our good record at home. Need to keep the impetus up and not have players going down a gear. We shouldn't need to rest players with the format of the play offs. Our biggest worry about putting out more or less a first team is player discipline which has been absolutely shocking and something that has to be addressed big time.

According to BBC he is "now expected to join a Premier League side". Best goalkeeper we've had in all the time I've been watching us. Randolph would have won us about 10-15 pts at least on his own this season!

To be fair though Willie Collum has not had a match yet in the play offs!

Except they have been playing Alloa, Cowdenbeath, Livingston, Dumbarton, Raith Rovers....

The ironic thing is if our squad really didn't give a fuck we'd have probably been a lot better this season.

Rangers have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 19 matches. You WILL be jumping out your seat a couple of times at the very least.

We shouldn't go to Ibrox and sit back. We can't defend. But neither can Rangers. Vuckic is involved in about 90% of Rangers good play, eliminate him and we have a pretty good chance of getting at least a draw. Usually Erwin plays up front with McDonald playing in the hole. Think we just need take the McDonald role and reassign that role to man mark Vuckic. Perhaps Carswell could come in for that role. Keep the two wide players.

The key will be getting a result away from home. If we can get it back to Fir Park we have a very good chance. Rangers are highly dependent of Vuckic. They aren't even a great team with him but without him they are a pretty poor outfit.

Honestly, I doubt the crowd will effect the outcome of the match. We need to get a result away from home first, if that's Rangers, we will have to play in front of nearly 50,000 of them a few days before. I've seen Motherwell beat OF teams in front of full houses at Fir Park and get turned over pretty easy in front of relatively low crowds in recent seasons. If you could say with any certainty that the crowd had a real effect on the outcome of the result, I'd agree with you, but I don't think you can say that with any certainty and as a result we have to try and make as much money out of the tie as possible. Even if Rangers fans are given the normal allocation of the South Stand and part of the POD they shouldn't outnumbered the home support by much, if we manage to get our support out for what is a pretty crucial game.

He's been in and out the Ross County team for the past couple of season. Nay. I'd rather have Jamie McDonald or Derek Gaston than Brown.

I think we need to keep an eye on Mr. Hutchison. He came out with some blatant porkies in the Radio Clyde interview and it seems like some of his responses last night weren't very adequate or led to further questions. Telling fans not to buy a season ticket if they have a price gripe, not allowing Baraclough to take questions, expecting 2,000 WS patrons to pay in every month, picking up at least £1,000,000 debt repayment when he leaves. I'd be would be worried about all of those. I've always been a Saturday fan and not really got involved in the running of the club but I think more and more I feel like I have a duty to protect the club from the people in charge. If Motherwell FC has to find a different level of football with lower budgets I'm happy with that as long as we have a well run club. What I'm not happy about is being constantly emotionally extorted to put more and more money into a club that seems incapable of turning out even accounts, never mind modest profits. I think I speak for many fans by saying that despite not being rich by any matter of means, I put all I can into a club I love, but I cannot put in anymore. Maybe it's this constant grasping for money from a small fan base that has turned so many away. Hutchison says he is going to employ more marketing staff. I'll be interested to see how they are utilised.

Same Sutton that only three players in the league have scored more goals than this season despite only starting 2/3rds of the season? If Sutton has proved anything this season it's that he can score goals in a piss poor team. I'll repeat, the only players in the league who have scored more goals than Sutton this season are two shortlisted PotY candidates (Stewart, Rooney) and a guy that just got called up to the Scotland squad (Griffiths).

Slightly disappointed at the season ticket prices, I felt they could have made a token reduction to make the cheapest adult ticket sub £300 without the early bird discount, given the possibility of relegation, 1 less home match, the whole play off match price saga and the fact that season tickets jumped in price last season by effectively £50 with out much reward for the fans. However if we go down to the Championship we'll still need a Premiership level budget to have any chance of getting back out of it so I wasn't expecting a huge decrease. Will renew of course but it's slightly bizarre that fans will effectively be paying an increase for relegation while it stays the same if we keep a place at a higher level.
