Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons
Phillips455 replied to Casagolda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
12.30pm kick off on Sunday 13th March for the Scottish Cup Quarter final Against Hibs. Also on BBC One Scotland. -
Dundee v St Mirren 23/2/22
Phillips455 replied to Munoz's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Hopefully Dundee and "I almost got the celtic job once before" McGhee can give the rest of us a favour and take some points from this. That would leave 4 teams on 34 points and sets up a very entertaining last 6 matches. -
Motherwell FC v Aberdeen FC Sat 19th Feb
Phillips455 replied to welldaft's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Regarding the seating, it was probably decided after the situation from the cup game. If there was more than 1000 sold then they would have undoubtedly opened up the lower section but today there was only 800 away fans. Last week there were 2,000. Also, Gallagher fit into our style of play more than Aberdeens. He's not THAT great but I just love it after he threw his toys out of the pram. There's a reason why Van Veen kept teasing and battling him. -

We havent been playing badly recently but the fact we are on course for 2 points from our last 7 games screams that we are having a nightmare (with the real nightmare coming next sunday). Realistically all the teams we have played recently are either challenging or are within the top 6. If we can't beat any of these teams then how the he'll do we expect to finish in the top half. We really need an early goal this second half or otherwise we will just collapse in the last 30. May be March will be our month. -

Really stupid goal to give away. And tbh I don't see us coming back from this. Van veen looks fucked up and is holding his shoulder constantly and it doesn't appear to be anyone elsse who could score. -

Uh oh. Van veen might have a dislocated shoulder -
Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons
Phillips455 replied to Casagolda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Its great news as he's been a solid part of the defense recently. It not the fact that he is staying for longer but the chance to get a transfer fee for him in the worst case scenario. An English team coming in and giving us £2mil for him? I wouldn't say no. -

Yeah, I'm not going to argue with the ground staff unless o want to become part of the new turf. -
Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons
Phillips455 replied to Casagolda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I think thats one of our issues. Our pitch is so good now that we cannot get used to sub par quality pitches that other teams use. It makes it more difficult to win away from home. -
Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons
Phillips455 replied to Casagolda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The only thing that I would worry about is the 3 home games within 10 days. Does anyone believe the pitch will last especially with the wintery wet weather expected around those times? -

Well looks like Alexander's banned from the touchline for this and the Rangers game. Don't know if this will affect this game that much. -
Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons
Phillips455 replied to Casagolda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
So the games that we have before the split February Aberdeen (home) Rangers (Away) March Ross County (Home) Dundee (Home) Hibs (Home - Cup) St johnstone (Away) April St Mirren (Home) Livingston (Away) Looking at this, the only game that I don't see us having a chance of winning is the Rangers game. Out of these games I would expect us to win mostmof the Home matches and hopefully get some results on the road. January and February haven't been good months this year but I still believe March will be the make or break part of the season. If we get mostly wins in March and April, especially against Hibs then the whole dynamic of the season returns the happy go lucky feeling from the first round of fixtures. If we don't then we become a disappointing bottom 6 side. Let's hope for the best. -

Really is a must win game. Then the 3 games against St Mirren, St Johnstone and Livingston will be very important (I'm already ruling out the Rangers game as loss). Again, mostly the same line up as the cup game. Van veen to get a hatrick this time in a 3-0 victory.... ..or we end up losing 1-0. -
Next non-Old Firm title winner
Phillips455 replied to Richey Edwards's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I would assume hearts may become the potential team to win simply due to the highly likely fact of them getting guaranteed group stage European football. Similar to the old firm that will simply increase the budget and likelihood of signing better players which leads to more European football and better league results etc. The only way they don't get the Europa League Play off spot this season is if they lose 3rd spot (as if) or if someone outwith the top 3 wins the cup. -
We faced them (and pumped them) in the semis (of the league cup) a few years ago. So it's not impossible.

Assuming the BBC get this (as Premier Sports will have set up camp in Dundee by tomorrow) then I get the feeling this will be a lunch time kick off on Saturday or Sunday. The old firm games need to be on Sunday or later as their potential next round games would take place on the thrusday prio to this match. -
Because you'd want to get them in the final for a basically guaranteed win.
