Gordon losing the plot in the 2nd half was the best temper tantrum at Fir Park since Dougie Arnott ripped the shit out Basile Boli.

Darkness At Noon by Arthur Koestler. (4 out of 5)
In a time when extremist ideology, cancel culture and the suppression of free speech are increasingly subjects of the day this novel seems apposite.
Rubashov is one of the original fathers of the Revolution and has spent 30 years of his life serving the Party. However one evening he is arrested on mystery charges and sent to solitary confinement in a grim prison block. There he is interrogated by his old friend Ivanov and Gletkin, a younger and more brutal product of the regime, who compete to produce Rubashov's confession.
An excellent reminder of how ideology not only destroys individuals and freedom but also inevitably eats it's own originators and followers.

Fascinating fact. St Mirren have worn their away kit more often than their home kit this season.
Also someone needs to tell those Paisley boys that panda's are cuddly not ferocious.

One is led to suspect Dave Friedmann has had the odd dalliance with drugs.

I've been taking an interest in how Celtic, Aberdeen and Norwich City are doing mostly because they have many several players in the national team. They are coincidentally all teams trying to play 'an attacking brand of football' and just recently all three are going through a tough spell in terms of result and now the brand of football doesn't seem so important.
Winning Attacking Football > Winning Turgid Football > Losing Attacking Football > Losing Turgid Football.
I think realistically most fans are looking for a mixture of styles.
There were times under Robinson where Motherwell were doing the 'winning turgid football' but by God was it brutal on the eye. And sitting out in a bleak Scottish winter to watch it didn't help.
It's all about balance really. No one is going to complain about 1-0 hoofball wins 3 or 4 times a season but if it's the only type of win then in my opinion you don't get much out of it. The same would apply to playing good football and not winning.
At the end of the day you don't just go to football to see wins. If that was the case I'd probably not be a Motherwell and there would be better places to take in my football. You want to see entertainment, skills, young players coming through, dramatic moments, rivalry and a myriad of other factors.

I finished Rabbit is Rich by John Updike the other night. Was recommended the Rabbit novels by someone on here after finishing the Frank Bascombe series (@YaBezzer maybe?).
Wisnae me mate!
I try and read 20 novels per year and we are quite far into October and so far I've read.....eh.....2.
Shocking stuff but I've had a lot of other things on the go this year.
1. 'The Peregrine' by J. A. Baker.
This probably isn't for everyone as there is no real story and it focuses on a man's obsessive and repetitive raptor spotting lifestyle (in a sense it kind of reminded me of Huysman's 'Against Nature', although the actual topic is completely different). However I loved it. Amazing descriptions of wildlife and landscape. And the end was surprisingly emotional. It won't draw everyone in, a lot of it seems the same but I think makes more sense over the span of the book as the different seasons drift by, but if you like non traditional novels this might be up your alley, or perhaps more fittingly, down your hedgerow.
2. 'Moth To The Flame' by Stig Dagermann
I tend to read bleak literature, so that wasn't the problem, but this was a tough read. Just didn't like the style of the writing and since everyone in Scandinavia loves Dagermann and it was obvious there was some real philosophical depth behind the writing, I think this was an example of a failed translation. The kind of book where you could pull all sorts of great quotes, even passages out of it but as a whole it just didn't click with me and to be honest despite being just over 200 pages it was a bit of a slog.
Currently reading 'Darkness At Noon' by Arthur Koestler which means I'm reading 2 suicidal authors in a row!
And obviously I'm not going to hit 20 novels this year but 10 maybe? Want to get back into the swing of things. So many books, so little life.

In all honesty though, we need to wake the f**k up both for Moldova and for a play-off
I might be wrong about this but isn't there two play off matches to qualify?

We were 2-0 down to a Faroes side who were getting absolutely rinsed routinely in one weren't we?
This Faroes side is probably the best they've ever had.
Didn't we have 10 men for most of that match though? Remember Elliott being sent off against Faroes.

We need to put on Richard Gough for a 97th minute qualification rescuer.

Why the f**k can Turnbull not get a game in this gash team?

The fact that Shane Duffy just scored an international goal is putting our failure to hit the net into sharp focus.

It's fine this Faroes team won't be able to play on a cold October night in the rain.

Ground reminds me of Broadwood. Lay out; the terrible game and the fact it looks fucking freezing.

Was 2-0 Austria and 1-0 Denmark so I'd expect it to be a bit tense tonight.
Early goal would be huge.

Am I being harsh to ask why in the name of f**k you would hit a penalty down the middle in consecutive games?
Hitting it down the middle is what shit bag players do so they don't miss the target.

Hear me out here, I think I’d bring a centre half on to play at centre half sometime soon.
But anyone could do that.
Manager's have to show off their tactical genius that the normal punter's like us just don't possess.

I'm not going to make out O'Donnell is a great player, for me he's pretty average in the Motherwell team, but Patterson has 1 league appearance all season.
He just shouldn't be in the team end of story.
I'm tired of absolutely atrocious team selection from Clarke. Players out of position, players out of form, players in form ignored, players not getting club football.
EDIT - We score and concede in the time it took me to write this. Dear god.

McTominay hitting corners is so wasteful. I get we probably want an outswinger on both sides but still.
I say it every time, Turnbull should start these matches for his set piece delivery. Best in the squad by a mile. Just screams out that our attitude to actually scoring at this level is 'maybe we will, maybe we won't'
Team selection during the Clarke era has been absolutely bizarre.
