I would like to know how the ref arrived at the red card decision. He did not see the incident so did VAR team tell him it was red? If they did I’d like to know why. From my view it didnt look like the guy touched him. So have the VARvteam seen something that we didn’t ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Should be able to field our strongest team and hopefully beat them. Rangers and Celtic just invited us to the league champions party so it would be rude for us to not beat this lot, especially with the uglies playing each other the next day.

star sail Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I was talking the other day about my memory of the last time Motherwell were in a genuine title challenge in Tommy McLean's last season and it all coming to an anticlimactic end with a loss to Dundee Utd at FP. I would hate for history to repeat itself. I wonder if the pressure will start to mount a little for the players as a title challenge becomes a possibility? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JBA will be managing the players to just focus on the moment and keep doing what they have been doing and results will be what they will be.

Wee Tommy was probably the most negative managers we’ve ever had. Our manager now has the polar opposite approach to games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago JBA has us fearing no one abd everyone knows their role. Just makes Wednesday cup even more annoying but hey ho. Full focus on league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it will but I think there is something about this group that every team I’ve watched in my time following Motherwell hasn’t had. And that is confidence and a desire to win “every” game.

joewarkfanclub Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Jens 100% thinks we can win the league. If he didnt he wouldnt have mentioned goal difference post match last night and referred to it as a good 4 points. He wont say so publicly, and will keep batting the pressure away no matter how much the media try and draw him/us into it. Legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference this time, from what I remember, is that we spent a lot of time at the top of the league that season, so it felt like we threw it away at the end. I don't think anything else we do or don't do this season could make it feel like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Dare to dream. We are the best footballing team in the league. The other teams will drop points. We may drop points - but generally have the best form of any club. It is of course a long shot ie 40/1 but not the 1000/1 when the league started. Meanwhile Im happy to sit back and enjoy the show, it's been brilliant to watch, simply brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it was a slip of the tongue, more a bit of mind games with any rangers, Celtic and hearts players watching the game, basically saying your goal difference has gone so it’s down to points - watch yer arse’s we’re coming for you.

Fortunately, most young folk don't give a flying fruitbat about history 🤣! I don't think Jens cares about previous PL seasons either and he reckons we can do this (if we get a fair shake from the officials, which I admit is a bit of a stretch: the likes of arrogant Beaton really get on my nazzums). Having seen the confidence and commitment on display at St Mirren, which I thought was a real banana skin of a fixture, I think the players BELIEVE too. Let's just enjoy the possibilities.......🙏🙏🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play hearts twice but trail by 7 points so we do need Hearts to drop an additional point outside of us beating them twice, in order to win the league. as demonstrated by today any team is capable of dropping points so the thought of Motherwell winning the league may be described as us being in dreamland but it certainly not the impossible dream.
