Well, it's quite clear that man who's in charge thinks differently, so there is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What man in charge would that be, kyrk McMillan, brian caldwell, AJ, or the WS board rep? Maybe as a fan owned club the ws should do a survey on the topic and see what the real people in charge think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Firstly I’m pissed off that we lost that game today, a very poor performance by most of the team, many of them playing way below their best and a good bit short of what they should produce on a bad day. Secondly AJ said in one of his interviews that we in Scotland take cup games way more seriously than in Scandinavian countries so I think the back room staff/senior players had told him and whether he ignored them or thought the line up was good enough we’ll probably never know but it’s a fuck up down to him. Thirdly on the cup v Europe thing my view is that if we’re going to sign better players, being able to say to potential signings that we finished fourth in the league, reached the 3rd qualifying round in the ECL and hope to improve on that next season beats we reached the semi final of the Scottish League Cup - it shows more ambition. I’m sure any player we’re trying to get in has played in a similar game to today and gets that shit happens as they say so I don’t think that would put them off but a bad one over the next two Thursdays might.

stv Posted 58 minutes ago Report Share Posted 58 minutes ago Game was played on an awful surface, so manager decides some regulars with niggles and were tierd don't play as they may have got really hurt on this park and affected team performance and selection for weeks to come never mind Thursday. No way cup comps or league games should be played on a plastic pitch that doesn't allow teams to play their strongest team for fear of injury eg. Killie/ Livi last few seasons. Selection was made with this in mind, it backfired and manager gets most of the blame . We have no given right to win over wee teams, we have to earn it. Hopefully everyone, players and managers alike learn from this. It's only one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t understand the mindset of some Motherwell fans when it comes to domestic Cups. I was coming from the perspective that we get to compete in the league cup every season, we get to compete in Europe maybe every 5 years or so. So for me I would take a Euro run over a league cup run. Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinjy Posted 16 minutes ago Report Share Posted 16 minutes ago What is your biggest memory as a Well fan? Was it playing Dortmund, or playing Panathanikos in the Champions League? Was it marching through the streets of Nancy (I was there). These are great memories but for me seeing us win the cup in 91 will always be the best and until we do it again it will not be beaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestwickwell Posted 15 minutes ago Report Share Posted 15 minutes ago Was actually telling my 17 year old on the way back how many shit teams have won a cup since we last won one today’s unacceptable & there’s literally a 1% chance we get to the group stage of Europe ( we’d have a better chance if we had any attacking options & none of the ones injured particularly suggest they would have an impact if they were fit ) happily be proven wrong if we do manage the impossible 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
