We're currently 6 points above Hibs with a 13 goal advantage. That seems a fairly safe cushion. However, before the break we face Falkirk at home and Hearts away. I reckon we'll take 1 point from those games. Hibs have Killie at home and Aberdeen away. They should be good for 4 points from those games. IF, and it is an if, it pans out like that, then our lead is cut to 3 points. That then takes us post split and we'll be due Hearts and Celtic at home. Maybe one point from those games? We'll play Hibs at Easter Road and they'll fancy their chances. On top of that, our record against current top 6 sides isn't great nor is our away form. We might well secure 4th spot, but it will be very tight and the game at Easter Road will be crucial. Yesterday, was defintiely 2 points dropped. In short, a 50/50 chance is realistic.
I think I’d rather play Falkirk and hearts than Killie and Aberdeen tbh
these Sides are a nightmare to play against at the moment ((Dundee like) they are fighting and scrapping for everything, I fancy Killie to beat most sides just now especially on the plastic and Robinson tore strips off them yesterday so I’d expect a reaction from Aberdeen ….but I do get Butcher vibes at Hibs from him/them…. Which would be very funny.

Oscar for me, I thought he was excellent and I did find it strange he was subbed as Fadinger and Watt were the poorest I’ve seen them.

As damp squibs go that was sodden. One of the least enjoyable games of the season for me. Apart from what looked like a good goal I didn’t think we created anything and looked toothless in the final third. A point and a clean sheet right enough… can’t cry too hard

Priestmans toenail
Cheers mate. It looked a ridiculous decision to me

Can someone enlighten me as to who was offside? Was it Just or Priestman. I’m at a loss as it didn’t look anywhere near off from where I’m sitting

Happened to watch the 3 of these on BBC and i thought our bunch came over really well. Which to be honest didn’t come as a surprise. Even as an old fud I recognise their importance in creating an atmosphere and a bit of colour and I do view they do a lot for the community, as well as a lot for the young people attending games.
as much as some of it was a bit cringey, in particular the the wee Simon Murray lookalike youtuber, in general it was fine and gave a good account of Motherwell as a club and as a fanbase.

Clarke took a dysfunctional team in a dysfunctional setup where nobody wanted to play for the national side.
He turned it around into a squad that started qualifying for tournaments again.
He did it using his own methods, and those same methods managed to get us to this year's World Cup.
As the last 2 Euros showed, the same approach fails miserably in the finals, and for me he should have been punted after the last Euros.
While he is in charge, though, there is zero reason to imagine he will change anything that got him to the finals and kept him in a job - and that includes remaining overly loyal to some mediocre players.
I’d have sacked him at half time v Germany and got the unemployed Moyes in the studio to take over.
he has qualified for tournaments but let’s be honest, it’s groups that we should have got out of and it is (apart from the centre of defence) the best group of players we’ve had in over 20yrs. We’ve also been humiliated at both tournaments playing a horrific style of football.
anyway, apologies this is a match thread. 3 points to the Well on Saturday.

Let’s make Hanley look like an arse again, if he’s fit enough to play; and Clarke an even bigger arse for continuing to pick him for the national squad.
As time goes on with him in charge of Scotland the less arsed I am about the national team. He’s not stepped foot in fir park in years and continues to pick guys like Hanley and Ralston. His comments basically saying our individuals aren’t as good as the collective team must have p1ssed off a few of our players. I hope we go out and destroy Hibs and highlight “again” Hanley as a weak link.

The Hibs game at fir park is up there with one of the highlights of the season for me. I can’t remember the stats but it was something mindblowing like 80% possession and 900 completed passes or something. I went home that night laughing to myself how crazy it was.
if we can play half as well we will win although I know their team has changed slightly. Looking forward to it.
-
that was a brilliant insight into the team, season and club in general. I thoroughly enjoyed that.He never fails to impress me.
for a guy to be able to speak in this way and come over so clearly when English isn’t his first language is utterly incredible.
and Jens was quite good too (joke)

I got around to watching the game again. I think Chamberlains crunch on Just was a booking although I have seen reds given. I don’t think it was intentional and it wasn’t as bad as Gogic on Slattery which also resulted in a booking so fair enough.
Maeda should have got at least a booking for the arm to face on said. The boot in the baws afterwards definitely merited that in its own right.
I think JTs penalty claim is a penalty…. It’s a push in the back and if JT stumbled and goes to ground like a normal human being I think it’s given….. unfortunately he does what appears to be a star jump and makes the whole thing look ridiculous and I can understand why they’ve not given it.the penalty was unfortunately a penalty. I’d have been screaming for that if it was at our end. The double jeopardy stuff is beyond me though and beyond the referees as well…. God knows what the bar is with that.

Not sure if any of you watched that eye bleeder yesterday St Mirren v Rangers (honestly one of the worst games I’ve seen in years) but Allan Campbell played most of the match and that boy has went so far back it’s criminal. By the second half when he collected the ball he was getting booed by his own fans (no surprise the booing and St Mirren, they are excellent booers)
I felt for the boy, he’s certainly no where near the player we had. Seems to have lost every shred of confidence he had.

Just was the best player on the park…. By a distance

Cos it was our game in hand which if we'd won would put us right in the mix for a title challenge, the media had actually started taking us seriously, and we instantly lost to a Dundee team, that while improving, hadn't won in their last 3 home matches, including Livingston.
I’m still annoyed by the Dundee game, much more so than that yesterday. If we’d have played with the same attitude against Dundee as we did yesterday we’d be sitting on 56 points and miles clear of Hibs.

I’d like to see the big man get a start up front soon but we’d need actually play his strengths & give teams something different to think about
I’d agree, I’ve not seen too much in him yet but I do think we need to mix it up a little. I’d move Maswanhise wide and have him play off the big man. As much as I love wee Said I think he’s been off it for a few weeks, he might have a stronger impact coming on as sub.
certainly nothing to get worked up about, the football is still good to watch and there’s 8 great games left to the season. Let’s face it, even the happiest of clappers couldn’t have predicted we’d be in this position when we played Twente in pre season.
-
Don’t have any arguments with that today. I thought we did fine and played really good stuff at times and infact i felt we were having the upper hand at the time of the penalty/sending off. After that it was damage management.
Nothing to get too disheartened about, the next 2 home games are the more crucial ones. We need to stay in 4th and try and cause a bit of mayhem in the top 6.

Halliday as the emergency left back cover I see

Looks like McGregor is out for Saturday. As much as he’s a bit past it he’s still important to them so I hope we can dominate the midfield. I’d like Tierney out as well as he’s been one of their better performers of late.
Fadinger is fit as well which is brilliant news but the “he took a bump on his nose” comment about why he came off last week is a wee bit strange. I’m hoping it was a wee bit sorer than a bump on the nose? These Austrians sound saft 🤣
also RCC out again for a few weeks, I’m finding it hard to warm to this guy.
Anyway… As much as last weeks result deflated me, I have a second wind of enthusiasm. A narrow win for the good guys.

If they haven't condemned the shocking goings on, then it makes strict liability all the easier to apply. Suggestions also of sectarianism but I don't suppose anybody is too keen to investigate that.
“Suggestions”? Lol

For two clubs who love a statement, I was also thinking they had been rather quiet this week
They won’t make a statement about how rotten to the core both clubs are.
Rangers: really sorry about the pitch invasion and the assaults on the police and Celtic coach and the incessant sectarian singing….. but Celtic started it.
Celtic: sorry about the mini pitch invasion, the rushing of the turnstiles, the vandalism and the tagging of 66 all over Ibrox….. but Rangers started it.
its just boring whataboutery all the time and anyone with a brain knows it. Dock the 2 of them points and make them play in an empty stadium for 6 months. That’ll fk them both off!!
starting on Saturday please.

I know if Jens was to go and we appoint someone like Robinson I’d be annoyed. It’s worse than an underwhelming appointment.
now add that to the mix of Aberdeens self worth and view of their own importance and I’d imagine there will be a mass of rage in the north east community.
as someone who isn’t too keen on Aberdeen or St Mirren…. It’s an appointment I’m very much enjoying

On another note it seems individuals following Celtic barged through security checks at Ibrox. Not for the first time. They cannot be trusted and one day will cause a major incident. The authorities need to act before its to late..
This to me is the troubling thing about it, we’ve had this at fir park with Celtic before and it was definitely the case at that last game at home v Rangers, they clearly had 100s of extra fans in there as they took over the stairwells. I know it is difficult to control these hoards of fans but it’s an accident waiting to happen. Something needs done about it.

Mibbe a daft question, but were they only ever supposed to be on sale to season ticket holders, or did they change it to that a few days ago?
I think as long as you are on the “system” and confirmed as a fan, then it doesn’t matter and they’ll sell you a ticket. I do recall it was always first dibs to season ticket holders but I dont think that’s the case now

Apart from the Dundee game on Saturday which I predicted us to win 3-0? Or did you just ignore that one as it didn’t suit your narrative?
Yes I am very much a Motherwell fan, a diehard I’d even go so far as to say. I rarely, if ever miss a home match.
I don’t know how you can deduce from my posts that I am a Rangers fan as I don’t think I’ve said much in the way of anything positive about them, apart from finding them less repulsive and dislikable than Celtic but of course to many people in this part of the world saying that does somehow translate to being pro-Rangers. Especially to people who are obsessed by and consumed with their hatred of Rangers, like you.
Ok 👍
back to the match on hand. Great to see us sellout our 750 tickets on Saturday.

The manager also needs to call out the treatment wee Just is getting just now. It’s an utter disgrace. I watched him closely yesterday and it’s constant. More so than any of our other players. Maybe Maswanhise as well but it’s obvious how Just is targeted.
