In the two European ties the referees have been streets ahead of the utter shite that passes for refereeing in Scotland. Let the game flow. Compare it to that fud who refereed the Falkirk game. Most Scottish games the chat after the game revolves around the referees incompetence. Two European ties and no such discussions. Did not think he was that great. Seem to favour the visitors and gave alot of very soft fouls, especially 1st half. He improved slightly in 2nd half. In saying that you are correct to say he was streets ahead of the scottish officials! Standards are declining even with all the tv recordings they need to study, learn and improve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago That was absolutely magnificent tonight. They started quite well in terms of possession, and we looked a bit nervous for 15 minutes, but gradually we took control and a very enjoyable evening ensued. We have replaced our outgoing players very sensibly so far, although another signing or two wouldn't go amiss and although there were a few slack passes and some dubious decisions from the ref, at no time did I feel worried that they would put us under any real pressure, This time last year all the short passes in the 18 yard box scared me Sh*tless but now it is just amusing to watch the opposition run sideways like headless chickens. Add in that AJ is an absolute pleasure to listen to, and I think this year could be even better than last year. What a great time to be a 'Well fan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but €1.1M isn't too shabby although we'll all be looking to qualify for the group stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Brilliant night. Football was a joy to watch. Went with my 14 year old son and his mate. His mate supports one if old firm but was amazed at atmosphere and football. Some of the passing was sublime. Poetry in motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Just in from pub, how good was that? Absolutely buzzing. First half i was saying we desperately need a striker ( which we still do), said magnificent 2nd half as were all the lads. Having lost 5 players we have sure replaced them, Moormann looks a great find and I think JGR looks a great signing . Atmosphere immense and lets bring on the germans and give it our best but pressure off as we are massive underdogs COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbill1987 Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago I thought we played, I didnt like the fact it was the same tactics hjk used and we didnt pick up on it. 1 player going short and the other going long then a long ball over the top. cacile for them number seven has some decent pace and ability and also mero on the other side id defo inquiry about them. And this time pukki didnt get a proper sniff at goal. But overall we played and beat another seeded team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFCL84 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago That was a European night to remember. The atmosphere was electric. It is great to see Fir Park rocking. No failures on the pitch for Motherwell. Star man for me tonight was Moorman, he was superb in that defence. Lowry looks to be fitting in nicely. Fadinger and Priestman were imperious in the midfield. Said is adding scoring to his game, which is great to see. Olly Whyte looks every bit a first team player. I'm sure that he'll get plenty of game time this season. A great time to be a Well fan. Who's off to Freiburg. See you there.

steelman1991 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago just curiosity on my part - but did the Physio's have a night off tonight, can't recall any injury stoppages that required attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Dont want to get carried away, but..... That was magnificent. Certainly the best European performance Ive seen at Fir Park and as dominant a display as I think Ive seen in any game. Helsinki barely had a shot on goal all night and we could have easily scored 5 or 6. They could barely get the ball off us until we shut up shop and went 5 at the back. Is this how football is supposed to be? Great credit to the manager and the players for hitting the ground running. Im sure most of us had the fear that we had seen the last of performances like that when Jens and our 3 best players left in the summer. Its testament to them and the recruitment team that a seemless transition is well underway. Bravo Motherwell! 🧡❤️🧡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and gracious thanks to them for that, but where are the Scottish TV highlights? It seems only The Uglies are worthy of notice by the cameras. At least Peter Martin on PLZ gave us a glowing report, so well done to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago It doesn’t half put a spring in your step doesn’t it. That was absolutely brilliant last night and I’m struggling to keep the smile off my face. I’m in work, it’s a Friday ….. it’s a good day. For any of you who are football obsessed (me) Freiburg are playing Crystal Palace tomorrow (it’ll be on the firestick and I’m sure other reputable mediums) should give us an idea of their starting team as I believe it’s their last friendly before the German league starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnstone Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago That was one for the ages. A very professional performance against the biggest club in Finland. Ok they are not Barcelona, but this is a team who qualify for Europe most seasons and have reached the group stages only a few years ago. We schooled them. Thought Lowry and Said were superb. Moorman is a step up on Welsh, he is that good and was delighted to see Olly Whyte stroll about the park like a veteran midfielder. Whats brilliant about being a Motherwell fan these days is that this is not just a flash in the pan, this is it now. We are a football club who has grasped the fact you need to modernise and play football the right way and the rewards will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
