Were you at the game today Steelboy? The whole team were shite.

Get a grip.

I was wondering when this thread would get bumped. I bet you were rubbing your hands together in glee just thinking about it, eh? Four goals in our last six still. Not bad for someone who's put in one decent performance in fifteen games.

We weren't at the races today by any stretch of the imagination, but let's not get carried away now. We're still eight points clear in 3rd place, which is hardly a "dogfight". Once the split happens we have to play the teams around us, which means that 3rd place is still very much in our own hands. If we come through the post-split fixtures without taking anything from games against St Johnstone, Dundee United or Hearts then we don't deserve third. Simple as that. Better teams than us have lost at Kilmarnock.

I'll go with what I've heard on Sportsound for now. Until something more concrete tells me otherwise.

Darren Randolph was the only player to perform today in my opinion, so he get's my vote.

He also said in an interview that he feels we have a "terrific product" and don't need fix what isn't broken.

According to Sportsound we do, yeah. Chick Young personally confirmed it, for what that's worth.

As far as we're concerned, I hear that if we qualify for the Champions League and go out at the first qualifying stage we will go into the Europa League qualifying stages as a seeded team. We would be guaranteed 4 games in Europe then.

With both Craigan & Lasley out for this game, I'd go for the following line-up; Randolph Hateley Page Hutchinson Hammell Humphrey Jennings Carswell Law Ojamaa Higdon

Our very own captain calls into question the meeting to change the voting structure. As he put it, the other ten were happy to vote it in originally.

Do you expect anything different Andy? We just need to accept that this is how the media operate.

The club have announced via Facebook that there will be a minute silence tomorrow in memory of Liam Kelly's dad.

For those interested, Craggs was on Sportsound yesterday talking about this very subject. It can be found on iTunes.

I'd be over the moon if we managed to get him signed up beyond the end of next season.

I think paying at the gate is the only way.

Ah, right, I didn't know you had actually put together a team. I thought it was just a list

If he resigns I don't see us getting a fee for him. It'll most likely be a deal until the end of next season, meaning he'll be free to speak to clubs and sign a pre-contract in January. Considering he can walk away for nothing in a few months time as things stand, I'd say that having him for another year is the best we can hope for.

Taking the conversation from the Kilmarnock match thread I thought this would make for an interesting discussion on its own. Basically, if you had the choice of Motherwell winning the league cup this season or getting into the qualifiers for the Champions League, which would you prefer and why?

As I said, we're guaranteed a spot in that tournament every season. The Champions League is something that will probably come along once.

If we get into the qualifiers I'll just download it and listen to it on my iPod during the line-up at the start of the game then

I guess for me, it comes down to us having a shot at the league & FA cup every season, whilst probably never getting another crack at the Champions League. I doubt we'll do anything of course, but we may get lucky and land a tasty tie. Couple that with hearing the Champions League music at Fir Park (they play it for qualifiers, don't they?) I think it's really a once in a lifetime opportunity. The kind that we'll be telling our grandkids about.

You on the booze already Finlay?
