Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

Where did you see this? There's nothing on the website or Twitter as far as I can see. -

From that list I'd say we have about a 50% success rate for returning players, which isn't bad at all. -

I bet these two doing the draw are a riot at parties -

Trying to decide which one from that list is the biggest grift on our part. I'm thinking either Scott to Hull or Hastie to Rangers. -

Got my new passport yesterday, about 3.5 weeks from sending off my old one. Not bad at all. I'm all set for our jaunt to Wales or NI. -

I'd be delighted with Davis, although it seems like an unlikely move for him. -

This gives me hope as I've just renewed mine today, old passport off in the post tomorrow. -
This is exactly where I am with it now. Need to try again, see if I can get into it.

Looks like very much the "shitfest the first half, go for it after half time, then hold on for dear life" that is #alexanderball. Although admittedly I'm steaming right now so may be interpreting the data wrong [emoji23] -

From what I understand, the assailant is still at large... -

GA furiously ordering the pitch ripped up because we spent too long playing the ball on the deck last night. -

Isn't it funny how we can watch the same game and see completely different things? I thought Carroll was good tonight. A few defensive lapses but much better going forward than he's been pretty much all season. Slattery also, playing in a more advanced role than usual for much of the first half but didn't think he was terrible. Donnelly and Ojala were badly exposed in the first half and I thought the latter had a shocker. Donnelly was much better second half once we upped the tempo. SOD was immense again. My MotM tonight. I'm really warming to Shields as well. Fitter than a butcher's dug and bags of effort but seems to add something extra when KVV plays alongside him. Efford is not for me though. -

One thing I massively enjoyed today was how fired up SOD was. There's been a lot of criticism at times about players not showing enough passion, but it was pleasing to see him getting stuck right into Charles-Cook down the wing, and later absolutely bodying his own teammates out the way to clear from a corner. -

He called his BFF Tony Watt to let him know -

There's a certain satisfaction that can be taken from being a side who totally shitfests their way up the table. I think we'd all prefer something like the peak McGhee (first spell) or McCall sides, but had we kept picking up points while having 29% possession after Christmas it would be harder to argue against it than it is now. -

Awww. Look how young and naïve we were. So full of optimism. [emoji23] -
There's a replay angle from behind Kelly's goal and it clearly shows Bevis taking the boy's foot before touching the ball. I was raging about it at the time but having seen that I think it's a clear penalty. Still though, f**k Rangers.

Livingston vs Motherwell - 9th April
fat_tony replied to Phillips455's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Aye that would be the one. On the stream it looked like a clumsy "coming together" rather than a blatant foul to me but I'll take it! We got away with a mugging today. -

Also rumour mill, friend of a friend etc, but I'd heard he has a get out if Dundee get relegated. -

What's the stonewall penalty that has the Livi fans all riled up? The only one I remember was where Efford and the Livi player came together and the Livi boy went down in about 25 installments. Very much in the "seen them given" category but not what I'd call stonewall. I was expecting the equaliser to be ruled out for some infringement or other. Got to love a proper injury time stramash [emoji23] -

Perhaps a symptom of unfamiliarity? The constant rotation can't help players' understanding of one another. -
Motherwell v St Mirren Robbo’s Return
fat_tony replied to D-Fens Foster's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I loved that bit at the end where the St Mirren player launched himself into Mugabi's back so he was basically getting a piggy back. [emoji23] I think the Kelly thing is just modern football no? Goalkeepers are the sweeper nowadays. -

fat_tony replied to D-Fens Foster's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Very much this for me. I think he's a good defender, reads the game well and makes a lot of good tackles and blocks, but he's not someone you want to be spending time with the ball at his feet. -

I like O'Hara in that he's very much a "solid pro" and a good squad player to have around who always puts in a shift. Not someone who would ever be first name on the team sheet though, or one to build a team around, so if true that he's one of our highest earners then I think we could use that money better. All this unrest has big Jim Gannon vibes though. -

Disagree. I'm not convinced by a few of those mentioned, but the way we're set up to play helps no-one. We don't play to any of the strengths in our squad. The players are at a disadvantage as soon as we kick off. Add in the clearly lacking confidence and it's understandable many (all?) are underperforming.
