Battle of ex well managers tonight in cup as killie take on St Mirren

Should be a classic as both managers connoisseurs of wonderful attractive football. 

Yep......that is sarcasm from moi

A potential borefest on the cards 😂 

Wouldn't be surprised if that game goes to extra time or penalties 

If we win tomorrow I would gladly take the winners of this game

I wonder how many years it will be before Robbo's St Mirren team will have "earned the right to play football".

Thanks for letting us know. Could have a bit of confusion if you hadnt, could have been mistaken you was attempting humour god forbid.

Good goal that from Mandron. I always thought he looked like he had zero ball control when he was with us, but that was decent.

So the battle of the ex Motherwell managers / players goes to extra time!

Not sure who I would prefer to win. Given any semi final would be at Hampden, Im not sure it matters.

One thing is for sure though, I wouldnt swap JBA for either of our former gaffers!

[weeyin]

I hope Killie lose every game they play on that pitch.

Simo Valakari 2-1 Neil Lennon

Robinson’s a prick and knows it. Kettlewell’s a prick but thinks he isn’t. I know which one I prefer.

It's almost like Sophie's choice.   Hate St Mirren for thuggery style of football,  cannae go Kettlewell after way he threw support under bus.

Hammer throwers won against fellow hammer throwers. Pretty average all round.

Robbo is a very good cup manager.

I do think if Robbo hadn't came up against Celtic in both finals that season we would have won at least one of them

Anyway onwards and upwards , hopefully Jens wins one of the cups

Change of manager hopefully brings us a change in attitude and fortune in cup  competitions

I loved that season. The team weren’t easy on the eye but by God they could grind out wins when it mattered and some big, big wins to celebrate and remember. Scudding Aberdeen at Fir Park then Louis Moult day against Rangers at Hampden in the league cup then beating Hearts in the SCQF with a Carl McHugh belter at the death to set up another rout of Aberdeen in the semis.

That was a Motherwell side with character and bottle and as you say had we been up against what was one of the strongest Celtic sides in either final we would probably have won a trophy. 
 

I liked Robinson and respect him as a manager, but I hope he doesn’t win a trophy with St.Mirren.

Definitely both 3-0 games against today's opponents, the cup semi when Moult scored twice and a good few other games were good that season . He came in and there was a feeling good factor for a while 

I certainly don't dislike the man , and would be desperate to see us put one over him if we meet at Hampden , or in any other game

Lennon Miller state of play as Scotland ace awaits debut

Udinese boss Kosta Runjaic has promised Scotland starlet Lennon Miller he will soon be in his plans once he gets up to speed.

The former Motherwell midfielder has yet to kick a ball for his new club following his £6 million move to Serie A in the summer.

The only football he's played this season has been for Scotland as a last-minute sub in the 2-0 World Cup win in Hungary against Belarus.

Miller, 19, hasn't played a domestic game since May, but Runjaic has revealed he will soon introduce Miller into his line-up

He explained: "We certainly don't need to teach Lennon Miller how to play football. He knows how to play all right.

"But he needs to go through this integration period, given that he hasn't played much in the last month. "He's very diligent and is making excellent progress.

"I'm very happy he's here."

I don't dislike the man either, but for most of his time in charge, the football was brutal to watch. As you might have guessed from some of my posts, I also got fed up with his "have to earn the right to play football" spiel as an excuse for hoofball. I said at the time that good teams play their game from the kickoff, and JBA has proved that already this season.

No doubt, as the years pass, he will get better and better, but I imagine if you go back to some of the match threads from those seasons, there will more complaints than praise

What a lot of managerial bollocks. Just put him on the park and let him play.

Very true ,  quite happy to focus on the present and hopefully a win today and another trip to Hampden

As great as 1991 was/is I am desperate to see another cup win in either of the cups Something most under the age of 40 have no real memory of apart from watching videos of it and hearing stories

This is why it's a good thing fans don't actually manage professional footballers.

I liked him and will be forever grateful for that season but under no circumstances would I want to see him be successful anywhere else.
