That goal 

 

Awesome -- I wasn't able to watch the match as I was working, getting alerts thought we were gone - down to ten men - superb goal!

"Stand up and sing for Motherwell!"

The most pleasing aspect of the entire evening was seeing Nicholson has ditched the terrible 'tache.

Defo red card pal,  no complaints 

Yeah just watched it again, he caught him and I can see why it might have been a red. I didnt see the incident with souttar and the handball properly at the game but that’s a penalty? I can see why the players were going mental.

Thought rangers adopted the st mirren game plan well. JBA right to call the ref out.  
 

did think we looked a bit rusty, but soon grew into the game.    A good point for us though having gone down to  10 men with hibs losing .   Team selection now critical v Aberdeen.  Who has the energy.  
 

overall though massive credit to the team manager and staff.  Oh and Boyd can do one!

Two games and two assists. Good going for Thor so far.

It was mentioned somewhere when we signed him that this was a big part of his game. Long may it continue.

Thought it was a good performance tonight, although our attacking players were'nt quite on point with their passing in the final third. Some of that was down to how hard Rangers were working to put pressure on them, but still felt there were a few unforced errors.

Thought McLean let them away with murder from fairly early on and allowed their repeated fouling to go largely unpunished.

Dont think I have ever seen a Rangers team at Fir Park boot it long quite so much, kick, foul, dive and waste time. I suppose thats a compliment of sorts.

Havent seen the red card back. Thought it twas a foul and a yellow card at the time, but happy to be corrected.

Overall, a good point. We bossed the team that all the pundits think are probably favourites for the title.

We may not be in the race ourselves, but we should take confidence from the performance to fuel our push for the cup. One of the uglies has to go and we have proved we are good enough to beat whatever one is still standing.

Bring on Aberdeen......

Big shout out to Slattery who was outstanding tonight. 

Sorry mate but I thought he wasn’t that good tonight, gave up on chasing back when he lost the ball at the first goal and too many times he turned back into trouble rather than make a pass to someone in space.

Clear red. Late, high studs, nowhere near the ball. 

In his post match JBA had no complaints, and even complimented Fadinger saying if you are going to get a red, getting one for trying to prevent an attacking move is the only acceptable kind.

I love Jens.

Better team but lacking that killer touch.

And thats precisely why we won't finish in the top 3 or win the Cup this season.

Why do they get away with vile  blatant sectarian singing. 

Thats a question for a particular minister in the Scottish Government. 

Political pressure was brought to bear on the SPFL to apply strict liability for pyro abuse but they lack the backbone and political will to tackle sectarianism. Tonight's chanting was medieval and offensive but as usual, the media is complicit in concealing it.

Statistically, we are on track to score more goals than the team that won the Cup in 1991.

51 total in that season (50 conceded) and Arnott was top scorer with 14.

Was towing a caravan for first goal but after that yes had a really good game. He knows he has to perform well to keep his place as wee Priestman for me has been excellent 

[grizzlyg]

What was crowd last night? Bbc says 9845 which no way is correct,  I reckon should be 11845

[Happy Dosser]

Given all the refereeing “inconsistencies” last night, I wouldn’t have been surprised if our equaliser had been chalked off for a brutal shove by Bjørgolfsson on the poor wee Rangers defender before he headed the ball across for Welsh to score.

We showed a lot of character to add to our usual skilful game.

i hope we have no injury concerns for the game against Aberdeen.

Its a disgrace that they get away with it  Dave, the SFA, police Scotland the Scottish government and both of the ugly sisters are culpable yet do nothing.

Last year we had people being arrested for wearing T shirts supporting palestinian organisations, the police said were proscribed terrorist groups etc.

Yet every week we have thousands singing thr praises of the IRA, UDA, up to their knees in f****n blood etc and feck all gets done, the two of them are Scotlands shame.

Also great seeing Sam Nicholson play a part in the goal, delighted for him after everything he has been through and a really nice guy.   Could be a very important player for rest of season
