I said to my boy on the way home. That's why we do it. For nights like these. The whole experience took me right back to matches at FP with my own dad. He's now 13 and he'll have seen Motherwell at Hampden at least 5 times in that time. Not bad going.

So many excellent performances all over the park. The match itself wasn't a classic but the character and workrate from our team was fantastic. Ox with a match winning save, Casey won virtually everything that was thrown into our box, a real captain's performance from P McG and as others have said young Lennon just a class above again. Really pleased for Robinson to get off the mark with a great finish from a position I thought was impossible at the time. Fingers crossed that's him on his way on the goalscoring front. Compliments also to the fans who created a real cauldron all night. The atmosphere was the best there's been in a while, orchestrated by Block E in the corner. Brilliant. Can we acknowledge that this is now a good run in the cup? COYW

We've given ourselves too much of a hill to climb. Spirited performance in the last 15 minutes but overall fell short. If that Moses left footer goes in or the Casey header sneaks in we're praising the boys resilience and never say die attitude. (Well, most of us are) We played the in form team today and ran them close and I'd have taken a point happily before ko but it wasn't too be. We move on to Friday.

3 points on the road. Always welcome. It doesn't matter how you get them as long as you get them. We were dominant for large spells of the game with Stj having a 10-15 minute spell where they got their equaliser. I'd much rather we created 2 chances in a game and took them than half a dozen and not. Enjoy your Saturday night Well fans. COYW

Is Moses Steve Kirk in disguise?

Away and 'support' some other team. Glasgow blue or green should be right up your street.

Definitely not. That keeper at least came for the cross and then missed it

Maswanhise will take it and rightly so but I thought that was a good team effort today. I gave it to Wilson. I was critical of him a few weeks back but I thought he was excellent today. He's growing in confidence with each passing game. Mention for Gordon also. The guy is the best CB we've had since Aldred. Wins tackles, goes to ground occasionally and rarely beaten in the air. Fantastic signing.

It's the manchildren who stand with their arms crossed in utter defiance, looking all around as if to say "look at me, I'm not clapping the Judas" Grow up fs the guy actually put a decent shift in when he came on.

We have created chances though albeit few against rangers. Ultimately it's been taking them that's been the problem so far. We're only 2 games in and I feel positive that we have decent firepower in the squad. Once Robinson gets off the mark I think we'll see a player there.

Wee Dave having a spell on the sidelines now

That's awful

Does Sedden get the goal? Was it going in anyway?

There's so much space in and around both boxes already. The games well open. Miller saw the headlines there and shat it unfortunately. Decent start though.

Robinson missed a sitter, I'm sure Moses managed to miss a guilt edge chance in the first half as well as ducking to avoid heading an inch perfect cross from O'Donnell of all people. Wilson hit a shot narrowly over in the first and had a cracking long range shot saved by Laidlaw in the second. We also hit the post in the second half. We may have looked pedestrian at times but we created numerous opportunities over the 90 minutes for sure.

Wilson had his best game to date for us today. Great on the offensive and always trying to get forward. Gordon was good too. Cruised through the game and had White in his back pocket all game.

It's horrendous. The usual slaters just don't know how to support the club. We could replace kettlewell with ancelotti and he'd get the same dogs abuse for his setup and selections. It's chronic negativity. Don't expect any suggestion of who we should replace the manager with or what players we should sign because you will be simply ghosted. We weren't even that bad today. Created numerous chances although we didn't take them. Clean sheet with the defence and goalkeeper looking solid and largely untroubled all afternoon. We've just kicked off the season ffs. Fine margins and we've won today by 2 or 3.

That's McMahon officially resigned. The takeover aside, I thank him for his service to the club and wish him all the best for the future. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/08/01/jim-mcmahon-steps-down-as-chairman/

Agreed. If Wilson is unable to get to the byline and put decent crosses in he should be no more than a defensive backup. We desperately lack pace on the flanks and without it we'll struggle to create this season. Regards to the defence. Kettlewell must find a settled combination and play them together consistently. Chopping and changing the centre backs every other week is no good.

This could be good business short and long term. Proven goalscorer in the A league, only 25 and bought for a reasonable fee. If he does well this season and next we could be looking at another 7 figures potentially.

Declan Gallagher, Tony Watt the obvious ones. Here's one from left field, Alex Rod Gorrin. I don't hate the guy but I remember being a bit hurt by his departure. Especially with it being too such low a level as Oxford.

Anyone know what channel games on?

And don't forget it's sister health advice. "How much do you cough up for cigarettes?"

I think I heard him a while ago say he'd rather not go into it on radio. He'll have a few quid invested in the club so I imagine he'll keep his cards close to his chest.

Admittedly I was one of the supporters whom favoured EB's proposal initially. Probably due to a bit of a last season hangover and the emotional turmoil last season produced. Having had time to digest the proposals from both sides I'll be sticking with the WS. Whom I trust to have the interests of the club at the forefront of any decisions made. Barmack's plans for the future of my club are on the whole simply too vague to take the risk in my view.
