Sheer greed. Edit - just noticed as well that our designated singing section is in the North; so miles away from the core of our support.

Typical Stuart McCall performance. He knows how to gets us going when it really matters. Full credit to every player who gave it everything. A memorable Fir Park evening.

Would have thought the East and West would have been closed in an attempt to try and generate a wee bit of atmosphere towards the players. Going by the pricing structure, the North & South will be sparsely populated.

Easter Road would have been dynamite. I adore Hampden but a cracking atmosphere at a tight ground would make for a much better atmosphere.

Delighted to see Murphy back. Probably his best performance since Tynecastle. Jeffers, the player we were crying out for since Juke left. Intelligent footballer with great composure and touch and is therefore tremendous at holding the ball up and bringing the midfield into play. Masterstroke from McCall. MOTM for me though was Gunning. Clears his lines tremendously, likes the ball at his feet, good in the air and regularly helps out Hutchinson. The boy is going to make mistakes along the way but he is a proper talent.

Crowd looked about right to me last night, I'd say the Dundee United support was just approaching 3000. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere last night and it shows the impact reduced prices can make for non-TV games. However there was a lot at stake last night. Same prices next week and you would struggle to break the 5,000 barrier.

I assumed that would be the route we would go down. Surely a blue strip would be the away strip? Wouldn't be surprised though if we end up with a similar effort to the silver Sheff Wed strip provided by Puma.

Injuries permitting, same starting XI that done Celtic. 'Mon the 'Well...

Wee bit worried about our preperation with Randolph and Craigan being absent for the build-up however I'm interested to see how Dundee United perform when they don't have their manager in the week running up to the game. Our biggest game since Odense came to FP. Hopefully get a decent crowd.

I would never invest directly in the club as it would be pished away and I couldn't be bothered running it but I would offer to buy a few players from time to time that I could potentially sell on for a profit.

Page is never a fullback.

Many folk in the same boat I imagine.

Agreed. Such an initiative is always asking for trouble, particularly when you are at a club that loses it's fair share of the case. I'm all for getting an insight into the thoughts of our manager but a game by game review is far from healthy.

Gets a fair hand from the Refs I reckon. Really good footballer and offers qualities that are very much of a dying breed. Type of player that should have been made captain and it would have been wonderful for us to build the team around him. Since he signed a new 1 year deal last summer there was little doubt in my mind that he would move south this summer. Interested to see where he ends up. Think it is important for his own progression that he joins a club where he continues to be an integral part of the team.

Never seen the game but the form of Murphy has been a concern for months. The boy needs a proper rest. And not just on the bench for a few weeks, he arguably needs a break away from training. The consequences of playing in European Preliminary games during the summer as opposed to getting a standard break between seasons has inevitably caught up with him.

Of course we need to strengthen but it is never going to happen. Even if we sell Randolph for a decent price in the summer, little will be reinvested in the squad.

If there was any such conspiracy I'm sure Goodwillie would be in the squad in order for Houston to keep an eye on him. Not to mention the prospect of adding a few quid onto his price tag.

Recently cancelled ESPN when the SPL10 chat commenced. Could head to the pub to watch it, but the Spurs West Ham game is far more appealing.

So why is the game not on the 22nd? I'm sure Randolph and Craigan could join up on International duty the following day. Is the pitch the problem?

Fear Motherwell may have made a balls-up here. Not convinced that the prospect of a replay came into full consideration when re-seeding the pitch.

If Craigan gets called up to the Northern Ireland squad to place in A Euro qualifier, surely the game can't go ahead on the 29th? I assume the reason the game isn't on next week is because of Houston heading away for the Scotland get-together?

Cracking game of football with just about everybody putting in a good shift for us. Jeffers a class apart. Can't help but fear though that we will look back on today as missed opportunity. By the time the replay comes round, Dundee United will have had time to rest and the likes of Conway and Swanson will be approaching full fitness.

As I said before the Celtic game, I'm quite happy to sacrifice consistency in exchange for some big results (Old Firm, Scottish Cup etc). It appears you can't have both at our level.

Absolute nap we would get beat today. Who gives a fuck in truth? Roll on Tannadice...

Gannon found his best position I reckon.
