Getting beat 2-1 at firpark by Hearts back in the early 70,s in the Texaco cup ,the first game was 1-1 at Tynecastle and we were 1 up at firpark and heading to the final when they scored an equaliser deep into injury time and went on to win the match .I was only about 12 or 13 at the time and it was the first time I had felt the gut wrenching pain of defeat ,it still pains me [but not as bad] when I think about it 30 odd years later.

Big game for not only the players but for Gannon as well , in the two St Mirren games he got is all very wrong with his overly tactical approach, a more direct game is needed and not so much of the fannying about Jim.

The St Mirren game is over and its now the hated Hearts ,nothing i like better than beating this lot ,4-0 the well . But i would settle for 1-0.

Gus MacPherson deserves some credit he got the better of Malpass [not to difficult mind you],he got the better of McGhee, and so far this season has totally outsmarted Gannon. If we take a humping by Hearts on Saturday Jimbo better take cover well fans rightly or wrongly aint the most patient of fans thats for sure.

eh

if true he must now have scored at least 10 own goals

to be fair mate pound for pound there starting 11 is as good as ours.

We came back on Saturday but dont think that will happen again. Wee gus outfoxed McGoo looks like hes outsmarted Gannon tae.

been that way for weeks now mate .

Saturday apart [and both defences were crap] our forwards have been poor most of the season.

Nae offence farawaysaint but can you no just go away.

Well Flow I see your online ,do tell what happened.

Anyone out there have any info on this game ,the place and time would do for a start.

Shaun Hutchinson impressed in his return to first team training this afternoon & will take part in 2morrow's match against Hearts.

According to twitter a bounce game has been arranged against Hearts tomorrow ,location and time not yet disclosed.

Seen this guy a few times in under 19 games and he looks a good player ,but to be honest we have a great group of young players in the under 19,s squad.

Great show by the team today the moment of the match for me was Giles Coke little altercation with Scott Brown , well done big man.

Good to see young Jordan Haslman on the bench thought he had a great game a few weeks ago when the under 19,s beat Hibs 3-0.

MOTHERWELL are set to offer Rutherglen defender Steven Saunders an extension on his current contract. The 18-year-old has impressed during his time at Fir Park with 10 first team starts for The Steelmen this season. The young star - the current Cambuslang and Rutherglen junior sportspersonality of the year - has impressed new Well boss Jim Gannon since he arrived at the club in the summer, resulting in his appearances for the first team. Steven said: “Talks are going well, we just need to get everything finalised before I sign it. “I’ll be staying at Motherwell for a while definitely.” The former Stonelaw High pupil is enjoying life in the first tier of Scottish football and admits he has already surpassed his personal target for this season: “I set myself a target of 10 first team games this season and I think I’ve surpassed that already! So now it’s just as many games as possible until the end of the season.” It was back in early December 2008 when Steven was unexpectedly handed his first team debut. Many questioned Mark McGhee’s team sheet when he named a very youthful and inexperienced substitute bench for that match against Aberdeen at Pittodrie. What wasn’t questioned however was Steven’s performance. The youngster put in a defensive shift beyond his years, helping the Well to limit their defeat to only two goals. He added: “Last year I made my debut and it was a big surprise. I wasn’t expecting to be on the bench or anything and this year, with the size of the squad, I was given a chance.” The starlet has also been enjoying a taste of European football with the Well, having played in their Europa League ties earlier in the campaign: “I’m playing a lot more and enjoying it so I want to keep it going. “It’s a whole different level. Getting a sample of European football is a step up as well. “It was an experience playing in Albania and Bucharest and I enjoyed every bit of it.” Settling in so quickly has no doubt helped Steven perform as highly as he has for the first time and one of the main reasons is his familiarity with others promoted from the youth system :“There’s a lot of young boys at the club. I got to know a lot of the boys last year from playing with the under-19s and a lot of them have progressed into the first team as well.” Steven is also enjoying learning from established first team stars such as Mark Reynolds and captain Stephen Craigan. He concluded: “Mark Reynolds and Stephen Craigan have been great and always give you tips in training. “Mark Reynolds is still young, but he’s be in and about the Scotland under-21s and Scotland B squad so he’s got lots of experience.”
