Ya Bezzer!

I wasn't on his back. I was criticising the team selection for the match.

I just got home from a walk and I don't even think I'll turn the radio on. But Donnelly should never have played in this game. He's slow and he gives the ball away all the time. So why would you play him on a big pitch against pacey players when we aren't going to have much possession? Put out a team for the conditions and not just the same old faces. Playing Donnelly in this match was basically raising a white flag at kick off.

St Mirren have 5 away matches from 7 including Rangers, Celtic and us.

And St Mirren losing at home for the first time since October. Do they have a new manager or something?

I don't think it's quite as stark as that. After this match we have a great run of fixtures for this stage in the season. If you'd handpicked the fixtures they couldn't be any better. Of course we have to get points out of them but they are there to be won.

I'd only keep O'Hara unless someone else can present evidence for a new contract between now and the end of the season.

People persisting with the 4-3-3 doesn't work when we are going into the final straight to the split in the Top 6 and with a better record than any other non city club over the last season and a half, playing 4-3-3 virtually the entire time. What would we have had to do playing 4-3-3 for it to have been deemed to work?

I thought we dominated the match but when it came to picking out a man of the match I was struggling a bit. I thought Shields and O'Hara worked their socks off and O'Hara got the goal so that's where my vote goes.

Absolutely. It might be mostly covered in grass but it's what you might call topographically interesting!

Enjoyable game although it was blood and snotters over quality which was lacking. Probably deserved to win the match but even before Aberdeen scored you had one of those feelings it was going to be one of those days where it just wouldn't go in so happy enough with a point. Really need to sort out our corner kicks. I could take better corners in a pair of ice skates than we managed today! Overall you couldn't fault our effort and we defended well enough in the 2nd half but a wee bit more quality and better decision taking and we'd be picking up more points. Ref had a shocker today. Might as well have a guy rolling dice to make the decisions.

He's definitely the most mobile midfielder we have.

With the league getting more compact by the week and us not having a league win in 6 matches that definitely shouldn't be happening.

I was just saying the other day to someone we should bring him back just to take corners.

He also played in Iran. Place your own Shi'ite joke here.

Maybe at this stage but I always think you are better off playing the OF in a semi final than the final if you have real aspirations to actually win the trophy.

Falconer, Mickey Weir and the lucky 'Dortmund' strip.

All I know is Van Veen will get booked.

I thought the atmosphere at the match was quite good today but it's a little disappointing that there was less than 4,000 Motherwell fans at home in a Scottish Cup tie against Aberdeen.

Went for KVV. Nice to see a striker absolutely bully the opposition although he was skating on thin ice a couple times after his booking. Was a good all round performance for the most part.

Didn't have a good angle for the disallowed goal will be interesting to see the TV pictures. Thought we were still thinking about that when Aberdeen scored. Good header but I thought at the time maybe Kelly could have been more authoritative might be wrong but that was my impression. Were pretty ropey for 10 minutes or so with Ojala having a nightmare. After that though Aberdeen disappeared out the game and we got goals at important times. First half was enjoyable without being a technical spectacle but thought 2nd half we actually played quite well. Someone else mentioned the front three, thought they did very well today and we defended so much better after those shaky early moments. Deserved winners. Concerns about some of our fan behaviour thought....

Ha! Craig Samson could make a Fir Park return today!

No McGinley. Don't get why Donnelly is there though.

That 2-1 was Raith Rovers in the League Cup. I wouldn't exactly say I'm very confident but we shouldn't be losing these matches. We need to step up today and next week and get the season back on track.

That McLeish side was very poor.....yet it had some excellent players in it. Essentially it underperformed because the manager made poor decisions. This team just doesn't have any good players. Outside of Kelly I don't think we have a player who could step up a level. I'm sure we'd all be more enthusiastic about going to the football if Dougie Arnott, Tommy Coyne and Brian Martin were playing. The worst football in my opinion that I've ever seen at Fir Park was the post Moult, pre Turnbull era under Robinson. I made my feeling clear at the time and a lot of people fell out with me but we were DIRE.

Ok this is what we are up against. Aberdeen's away record this season. League first, blank is today's match, then cup.
