St Mirren were good value for their win, plenty of chances, Hearts made a few but by the highlights Hearts would have been fortunate to get a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago 1 hour ago, Yabba's Turd said: I see they lost 1-0, not what champions do? Following the match online, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. I would be beyond myself on every level measurable if we were to win the league but am realistic enough to realize that this is highly improbable., I lived in Edinburgh for most of my life so have a well merited dislike of Hearts. I have no real liking for St Mirren either when it comes down to it. I really detest the Old Firm. As such, I am prepared to accept the possibility of Hearts winning the league as being better than either of the bigot brothers doing so, especially as I now live on the other side of the world from Edinburgh. As such, Hearts losing is, from my original perspective, a poor result. This quandary has caused me to pause and consider ultimately what would be a good result for us tomorrow. I originally felt that a win would be fantastic and a draw, away from home against an improving Dundee side, would be acceptable in the circumstances. However, having taken the opportunity to delve deeply into my soul, I have come to the only logical and reasonable conclusion that only a win for us will do. It is not for any personal hope that I may revel in the glory of my team's success, or any misguided idea that their victory will make me, in any way, a better person. I am saying this because I honestly think that this Motherwell side winning the league will be a universally good thing. I believe that us winning the league will be a win for the good guys. The little guys who play by the rules and play the game the way it should be played. As such, I can claim with all honesty, sincerity and altruistically that a win for Motherwell is a win for football, a win for Scotland, and, in these dark and troubled days, a win for the whole of mankind. Too much? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Right now it's unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely. Win a few more this month and let's see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago The only way I'd have any sort of hope is if we're within 4 points of the top going into the split at that point there's a chance right now it's a distant thought we're 11 of the top and would have to win Home and away against all 3 title challengers as well as winning basically all of our other games.

But if we win tomorrow we are only 8 off the top. If we then win our next league game then we are only 2 behind rangers Hearts are missing Shankland and Devlin for a few games and might struggle over the next few games. Any team is capable of dropping points against almost any other team in the run in. So I don’t think we need to win all of our games but if we did I’m pretty sure that would guarantee us being champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago It's nice to be in the conversation without the pressure of being directly in the mix. Maybe the stealth approach will see us sneak up a position or two in the last few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago The split will be carnage and teams will be taking points off each other left, right and centre. Whilst winning the league may just be a bridge too far, a Skippy Sunday scenario isn't beyond the realms of possibility. If we can win tonight and next wed, then 2nd/3rd is in the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago I think we can get third place. We will catch one of the three. that’s my gut feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Not tempting fate ahead of tonight but in last 12 league games we have kept 10 clean sheets and only lost 1 goal at ibrox at easter road. To keep that form going will be a tough ask especially if we stsrt getting injuries. However be great to win tonight and set us up for a massive 2 games in cup and league next wed.

mio Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Aww FFS….. I was looking forward to this game as well. If it’s at 2.30 I can only presume it’ll be cancelled. It must be in bad shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellup83 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Tougher test tonight. Sorry to the fans planning to travel up there but I'd take a scrappy 0-0 to keep the clean sheets going. Of course a win by the odd goal would be more than welcome. Edit: just read the posts about the inspection. A postponement wouldn't be a bad result if it allows extra time for player recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating as I was heading up, but might help us prep better for the next 2 which are huge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about it the more I’m thinking it might have been a bit of a lottery tonight anyway on a sodden, waterlogged park,potential injuries and sapped legs as well for Saturday.

Big Stall Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Postponement would mean that we can hold a shadowy distance away from the top 3, keeping us under the radar longer & pressure off. The pundits & media wont bat an eyelid at us until we are touching the old firm. Leave us with games in hand may be no bad thing...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago If it’s not postponed it will probably be a mud bath and a lottery. Not a game of football so I think postponing it might be to our benefit for reasons stated in other posts and also ao it doesn’t take away from our football.
