Rare to play a team 5 times and not lose one.

Also thought Aberdeen gave us a harder match at the weekend than Rangers, Hearts or Celtic at Fir Park. ย 

And again our away record is not the best.

Still, this feels like a big opportunity thrown away.

You wonder if foreign coaches maybe don't understand the importance of cup competitions in this country.

Yes the team selection was questionable re Connely , RCC and maybe Bjorgolffson , for me Ward, Slattery and Said should have started. But that said the game was ruined by incompetent fuckwit refereeing and Var decisions, and yet there is no accountabillity for any of these arseholes.

So do i blame JBA no, as we have shown how well we can play when he has rotated the squad before, its the useless c***s officiating that are culpable

Utter nonsense.

Clutching at straws for dear life trying to blame the officials when we didnโ€™t start our strongest 11 in the first place.ย 
ย 

The officials did not cost us this game, both red cards were correct decisions going by the rules of the game.

The more i think about Gordons contribution tonight the angrier i get. 1 down with equal number of players and he goes and does what he does.

Hows that tackle or foul whick knocks our player down, different to Priestmans?

It's no surprise gordon played in the pumping in the semi final either,the guy is brutal.

I thought that as well, but the more you see the 1st red, the more it looks like Connelly is getting there before Cameron. Doesnโ€™t get JBA off the hook though, heโ€™s been absolutely great but this is at his door.

Possibly, but we saw strange team selections in Cup games by McCall, McGhee and Kettlewell when they were with us so maybe itโ€™s a deeper rooted issue at the club that we donโ€™t fully emphasise the importance of doing well in cup competitions to various players and managers.

Can blame Beaton and VAR all day but it's nothing but clutching at straws. Both by the letter of the law were red cards caused by our own doing. Really disappointing.

Red cards yes. The first one we cant blame our own doing. It was a slip by a player every one of us would trust to be put into the starting line up. Losing a man & goal so early to a slip is what set the tone.

Our own doing however was not having the ability to draw even when Aberdeen went down to 10 men & then shooting ourselves in the foot.

Best chance in years and cocked up by JBA maybe believing the hype.ย  That starting line up all wrong.ย  What you do is start strongest team and put them out of sight then change it.

No complaints about reds...if they ate up other end you are screaming for them.

However.........it is a bad night but this season still been immense and a lot if football left.ย  Let's focus on finishing 4th at worst and getting a reaction on Saturday.ย

This is a major black mark against the manager tonight.ย 
ย 

For all the plaudits he has had for the football we have played this season and the results he has fallen badly short in two massive Cup games against very winnable opponents both times. And his team selection tonight absolutely humped us from the get-go.

This is Stuart McCall levels of Cup tie fuck ups.

What?ย 

For a start, this is Aberdeen away not Albion Rovers. The day any Motherwell fan thinks we can simply turn up to these games and walk away with a victory is the day we have turned to OF levels of entitlement.

Secondly, ever player that started tonight should have been capable of putting in a decent performance.

Gordon was the natural replacement for Welsh. The club have just invested in Connelly as a long term goalkeeping option.ย 

But for an unfortunate 3rd minute incident we could and probably would have been more than competitive this evening.

It is very interesting how quickly it all turns sour.ย 

If JBA were to read these boards this evening he would have every right to think WTF!!!
