Just a brilliant night and Moses could go on Strictly with those fast feet lol. Quite agree and to be fair I thought Moult's goal was vintage Louis. Thank God Goodwin didn't have him on from the start. Such a wee shame for the manager 🤣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touches and passes show up in stats so it must be something that doesn't involve ball. First of all I hope you enjoyed his goal tonight. Secondly he literally has the best pass completion stats of any one in the squad. Also best stats on dribbling. Thirdly do I really need to explain the game to you? You know as well as I do that just holding the ball up for a couple of seconds can have a big effect on a match. Or just running into or standing in an area, Or putting your foot on the ball and bringing it under control. Or drawing a foul. or an almost infinite number of other actions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 Wow! Didnt turn up for 44 minutes then bang, what a goal. Then dominated United until Moulty put in his own perler, then the last 20 mins was a proper ding dong cup tie! Great fun! Thought Robinson had his best game so far. No bad performances although personally think Maswahise is far better out wide than through the middle. Miller is a different class of player - no doubts when he stepped up to hit the pen. The Ox continues to impress, the boy who came on right wing was more than decent & best of all, the fir park crowd were outstanding! What a night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 A game where winning was more important than a good performance. The performance wasn't bad as such but It was a very tight, scrappy match, especially first half. Was crying out for a bit more composure, only Lennon Miller seemed to be able to take a touch and control the ball. Wasn't many chances for either team but I thought Dundee Utd, maybe just edged it in overall play but there wasn't much between the teams. Scored at a great time and looked like a fantastic finish. No chance for the keeper. Second half we started the better team and had a period of pressure and most of the chances but nothing clear cut. About 70 minutes or so you could see us starting to time waste, falling deeper and Dundee Utd started looking likely to equalise. Great save by Ox kept us ahead but it was almost inevitable that Moult would score and it was a great finish to be fair. It's one of those weird things in football that it was almost a relief when Utd scored cos you always felt we'd play further up the pitch at 1-1 than we did at 1-0. Last period of the game was fairly end to end and we always looked a threat at that stage of the match. The guys that came off the bench did well, though Kaleta was good going forward in the latter stages. And we should all know that Ebiye coming off the bench gives you something up top. I'm not 100% on Davor but I thought he had a decent match tonight. On Robinson up top, we are playing a system where we have been competitive in every game, Top 6 in the league and are in the semi final of the League Cup. There's the big picture for those that don't see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the live games I watch these days has no VAR, and players and fans just get on with it. Controversial decision? Moan at the ref for a minute, but shut up quickly because the ball is back in play and the game's moved on. Score a goal? Quick glance at the linesman to see it's onside then immediate celebrations. Was that a pen? Ref shakes his head, zero second stoppage. I was always against VAR for reasons I stated a few times before it was introduced. It's actually turned out worse than I feared.

FirParkCornerExile Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 We were very passive tonight and a bit pedestrian and times , however I defy anyone to say we weren't worth our win. Quite simply we were the better of two ordinary teams tonight. Unusually the crowd turned up and we got the result. Fabulous turn out and when all said n done it doesn't matter a fuck how you play in the cup , its getting through that matters. Disappointed in the fans who booed Moult. Even after all his team mates had disappeared of the park he applauded the Motherwell fans. Not going to go into who was good bad or indifferent I don't give a flying fuck. We had a big crowd and they rewarded them with a win. These night come along so rarely lets not over analyse it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 Thoroughly enjoyed that tonight. Vales injury restricted our starting lineup and as such the first half was quite predictible. We were resolute in defence, Yinited played some nice stuff without hurting us and we looked dangerous at set pieces. The goal changed things for us and I thought second half we dominated until they made their subs and Moult got his obligatory goal. We responded well though and I felt we throughly deserved the win in the end. We are still a work in progress and will be much better once we get our injured players back, but given SOD and Vale are the latest victims of the curse, who knows when that will be. Man, this whisky tastes good tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 I tell you thing I would be getting Ox putting pen to paper on a new long term contract right now seen enough from him to tell me he will be another that will get better more first team football that he plays. He has stepped up and delivered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirParkCornerExile Posted September 20, 2024 Report Share Posted September 20, 2024 What will probably go unnoticed was big Moses footwork leading up to the penalty. For a big guy its was some niffty stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellup83 Posted September 21, 2024 Report Share Posted September 21, 2024 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted September 21, 2024 Report Share Posted September 21, 2024 For the semi finals, do they still combine the gate receipts for the two ties and split them equally among the 4 teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Record represents everything that is horrible about football in the West of Scotland. I cannot remember the last time that I looked at a story in that rag. It will be at least 20+ years ago. No interest in promoting Scottish football in general and every interest in the promotion of one particular club at the expense of all else. Out of sight , out of mind is the best policy with that type of journalism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star sail Posted September 21, 2024 Report Share Posted September 21, 2024 Some thoughts on last night. First of all, that playing surface seems to look better every time we see it. It is now a thing of real beauty and really adds to the sense of occasion on a night like last night. I was reminded of how Firpark can be one of the best grounds for atmosphere in the whole of Scotland. It brought back a sense of nostalgia for big nights in the past at Firpark. I think what is particularly noteworthy is the amount of late goals we are scoring. Successful teams do this and it is a habit that is very nice to see. Congratulations to everybody involved at the club. You can see what it meant to the players and the coaching staff in the video posted above. I think the momentum has been building to a night like last night for some time. Happy days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
