Ya Bezzer!

I always remember Jim Hamilton's first match back at Fir Park and virtually on the refs whistle he absolutely smashed Stevie Craigan in the face with an elbow and just flatten him. Of course if you do that sort of thing in the 1st minute it's the rules that you just get a talking too.

I think that story has grown legs over the years. As I understand it Solskjaer did his national service and when he came out the army his agent basically contacted every British football club in the telephone directory...

Some people are being harsh on Shivute. Not saying he was a Motherwell great but there have been a lot worse players wore a Motherwell shirt. He came to us from Aachen in Germany, I remember because my grandfather was shot down there during the war!

Money in the bank just in time for hyper inflation to roll on through!

Was having a look at our goals this season and previous to last night's 92nd minute equalizer the latest goal we'd scored was 80 minutes. Bit surprising given how many goals are scored late in games.

As a statto with a spreadsheet I can't express how much I'm against all these additional substitutions. Back to two on the bench like the old days!

Exactly. We were dismal latterly under Robinson. I've consistently said for a long time that the standard of the league has nosediving and I'm afraid we are where we are in that regard. Were Hearts, Hibs or St Mirren playing scintillating football over the last couple of weeks? The standard of player just isn't there across a league where at least half the teams have a lot more money than we do. The financial situation at the club and across the league is pretty much 'make a purse from a pigs ear'. Even Rangers and Celtic are grinding out 1-0s. And the winter break also has a big effect as it essentially kills the players fitness stone dead right in the middle of the season and has a big influence on the quality of the football even within an already substandard context. Covid justifies the break this year but under 'normal' circumstances I'm very much against it. Also why do some Motherwell fans think we should just turn up at St Mirren and win? We don't have a right to take a single point against any team.

As I understand it if one team has a concussion sub the other team can make an additional substitution. Therefore if Shaw went off with a concussion St Mirren would then be able to make an additional substitution out with the three stoppages.

If anyone lives on Fir Park Street can you tell us if the lights are on?

Not the best start to the second half of the league but I think if you look at the individual results there is nothing catastrophic there. Hearts are by some distance 3rd best in the league and Ross County are in form right now. The worrying thing is we've not scored in 90 minutes in 3 out of 4 matches since the season restart and it's glaringly obvious that we need a striker in. I've generally been a supporter of Alexander but I feel like this might be a moment where he needs to make the right decision about bringing a player in or else risk the good work he's done so far.

To be fair he said he said he wasn't given team sheets at the beginning of the match.

Ref having a stormer so far.

Tynecastle is very enclosed so perhaps the wind won't be as bad.

As long as they keep Liam Boyce on penalties we should be OK!

We'll judge him when we see him. Scott McDonald had no track record and he ended up being one of our top post war goalscorers.

He's from Gwinnett County, Georgia. Everyone knows you have to be Gwinnett to win it.

Went for Johansen.

I thought Shields and Roberts were fine on Saturday but they needed someone between them. Tonight they had a striker between them but they were both poor. Given the general inconstancy of our players it's going to take more than two matches to find out what our best line up is post Watt. I think we do need to bring someone in though because without van Veen we don't really have anyone you'd be comfortable with through the middle.

Yep for some reason I 'remembered' a win at Easter Road. Was that last season then? Anyway the games against Hibs have been pretty tight. If anyone deserved to win tonight it was us but the Donnelly red card pretty much put an end to that. I'm not a big fan of the midwinter break in general, the Covid situation probably justified it this season, but you can see we are off the pace and Hibs were even worse. I thought we were better than against Morton in terms of tempo but it's going to take probably four or five matches to get back to December levels.

The minute I stepped out the door and almost got blown across the road I had an inkling this one might be a 0-0 draw. Obviously terrible conditions and a terrible game. We were slightly better than a very poor Hibs team but going down to 10 men meant despite the booing from the crowd we had to make a tactical change. Unfortunate for Tierney but I can understand the manager's thought process. Donnelly has no excuse two bookable challenges and to make the second one when he knew he was already booked was frankly. well, dumb as fuck. Overall a point from the match and 4 points from 9 against Hibs is a reasonable result. But it won't be remembered for any silky soccer. One too consign to 'Forget ASAP'.

Shame Falkirk are an absolute disaster these days or it could have 'been in the stars'.

After the Celtic game (I think).

Alfredo Agyeman also played.

I was thinking 'What age must Adam Cummins be now? Must be getting on a bit!' He's still in his 20s! Although only just.

No one really stood out.....in a good way. A few stood out in a bad way! For me some players put in a shift and that was about it. Van Veen made an impact coming off the bench. Shields, Roberts worked tirelessly. I'll go Van Veen.
