I think ONeill is fine, he is what he is. He’s just a bit of a simpleton and a bit of a bigot but that just comes from being a product of his environment.
i think he genuinely loved Motherwell and our fans.

McCart was a very good centre half.
Just not as good as Krivokapic or Martin.
Id bite your hand off to have him in this current Motherwell team the way the manager wants to play.
He was very good with the ball at his feet.
Both mccart and Martin were pretty good with the ball but Krivokapic was on another level. I honestly can’t think of a better footballing defender who I have seen play in Scotland.
He was definitely a player before his time, he was a bit heart in your mouth playing it out from the back as we’d never seen that before, but I never remember him losing possession or giving the ball away. Hard as nails too and his positional sense was exceptional. Maybe lacked a bit of pace but got away with it with his football brain. Would love to see how he’d do in this football world at the moment.
i always remember the story how at Dundee Utd and at us he’d take his boots and training gear home every night to wash and clean himself. Yugoslav work ethic lol

nigholt krivokapic Martin wark
mcfadden Odonnell Graham cooper
pettigrew coyne
subs
Brian McLaughlin, arnott, mcallister, rab mckinnon lambert.
there’s loads more good players I can think of but would have loved to see how much creation we would have with Graham and cooper feeding both coyne and pettigrew.

Tam solidifies his complete lack of footballing knowledge with his selections and positions.
anyway out of his bunch, I’d only agree with pettigrew, odonnell and cooper
And wark…. Forgot about Joe

Turnbull back in the Cardiff squad this evening, although on the bench.
I watched it on sky sports there, awful game. Whoever tells you the game down there has better quality need a reality check. Turnbull came on for 30mins and looked the best player on the park.
Also Ben Heneghan playing with port vale. …. Looked like he was dragging a cart behind him all game.-

He did. I just assumed he wasn't 100% for the Rangers game.
Of course, it could be JBA prefers Ward - we'll find out soon enough.
I do prefer Ox as he’s got more of a presence about him but Ward hasn’t done a lot wrong so far? Connelly looks a good young keeper but he’s far too small to be a top level goalie I fear.

Matty Connelly off to Airdrie on loan for the season. Good luck to the lad.

I suspect Cardiff were the only team that were interested in signing him, given that Celtic lost about £1 million on him, paid us £3 million and Sold to Cardiff for an undisclosed fee reported as £2 million.
Maybe hes just not as good as we all thought he would be.
Cardiff pay silly money as well, by all accounts he’s ended up getting £10k pw more at Cardiff than he did at Celtic.
money isn’t everything tho as he’s taken that for a detrimental effect on his career…. Screams of Bad agent to me….. but if a bad agent can get me £25k pw for doing hee haw I’d hire him 🤣 -
I see Allan Campbell had a weeks trial at Oxford and they decided they didn’t want to sign him. Really sad for the lad but it’s not looking great for him, I can see him ending up at Partick or something?
also Turnbull was dropped from the Cardiff team this weekend due to him breaking club discipline rules?? Wtf has happened to him? I’m hoping that’s just a one off incident.

Don’t know much about this lad and I can’t recall him playing up here to any extent but his scoring record isn’t bad at all.

I’ve resigned myself to the prospect of an up and down season. I agree we could be capable of turning over some teams if we click but we are also more than capable of losing calamity style when it doesn’t click.
it’ll be interesting regardless but having watched all the SPFL games this weekend there’s nothing there to fear really. Quite a lot of bang average sides.

Watching the st mirren v Celtic game and it’s awful. St mirren are just like last year, big and horrible playing hoofball and Celtic look poor and out of sorts.
i think the league is ours this year 🤣-

Just a shame he feels the need to head to the dressing room as quickly as possible once the final whistle goes. Understandable given the abuse he gets from some arseholes in our support. Guy might be past his best and no longer a first choice, injuries having taken their toll. . Always gives his best...whether good or bad...and happy to settle for whatever role our Manager asks him to play. Yesterday showed he can contribute when given the chance.
I’ve not been in the east stand in ages but is it that bad? I can’t believe that if that’s the case, we have some utter morons as fans!! The guy always gives his best and never hides.

Yes that was great when we did try those big switch of plays. As you say it keeps opponents wondering. Sods done well when he came on. He has imo got a good pass in him that breaks the lines. Decent as sub to come on if required
I agree, I think the same with Halliday, good players who are pretty tuned in to how the manager wants to play and can give you a good 30mins. Any longer than that then I might not be so sure.

Was just after boyd moaning, Faddy said words to affect of "you should be happy that you got a draw" 😁😁
Faddy was brilliant, I think he’s very tuned in on our fans mentality as well, he tends to be spot on with his views.
to be fair, those 3 yesterday (Boyd and Sutton) are box office, I find them quite funny.

More observations from me.
1) 10,616 crowd = over 6,500 well fans, superb and be great if that continued.
I agree but I think this tends to happen when we play one of the uglies and the other ugly isn’t playing.
unfortunately due to the area we are awash with the glory hunters linked to clubs due to their religious preference…… there are some decent ones out there who enjoy coming along to our games mind you, I just wish they would come more often.

Traditional Scottish anti-football incoming!! Robinson will have our midfield 3 booted all over the shop, hopefully we can play around them but I fear it could be frustrating.
Askou-ball all the way!!! -

Stephen Craigan
Former Motherwell defender on BBC Radio ScotlandJens Berthel Askou sold the players his vision when he came in for pre-season.
They've worked on it, and worked on it, and worked on it.
And now he's got plenty of evidence that it works, if they trust themselves and back themselves, they can be good.
He wasn’t saying that in the first half? Changes like the wind!!

We went toe to toe with them today, none of this defensive p1sh against the old firm because they are the “old firm”
we matched up and played, well done JBA….. this guy is a breath of fkn fresh air!!

Not sure at all about the mcginn odonnell pairing but time will tell. AP injured? Who knows but it’ll be good to see what Said can offer.
delighted to see Forrest on the bench, only saw him a couple of times briefly but I think he looks a talent.
