Haha, you'll be gutted to hear every single player has a brand profile then. Allan Cambell has always got to be seen in the gym and isn't allowed to smile (true story). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadStar Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Absolute riddy for the rest of the league that we're the 3rd best team. Europe here we come, yaldi! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorky Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Well done to all at the club, a fantastic achievement on a playing budget a fraction of that enjoyed by Hearts, Hibs, and Aberdeen. Robinson manager of the season in the top flight for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The authorities calling the season in order to guarantee us more money and, possibly, European football is yet another example of why Motherwell Football Club are the undisputed establishment club. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Great news but unfortunately I can't see us playing in Europe. I'll be very surprised if UEFA can fit in all the games and I think they'll skip the qualifiers and go straight to the group stages with the seeded clubs. Marvellous achievement to finish third with our budget though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I've seen us finish 2nd and 3rd more times than there is right to expect - this is the weirdest by far. I don't think anyone with a long term view of the club would argue that this season's team is up there with McLean (McCleish), McGhee or McCall's best teams that managed this previously - but in terms of getting value for money from a small budget and trying to be decently entertaining - a European finish is a fantastic result. By the end of a normal season, Aberdeen might well have overhauled us (although they were not consistent enough for that to be any more than a 50/50 chance IMO) - but I think the worst case scenario of 4th (I don't think we would have credibly finished lower) would still have represented a way better season than anyone predicted last summer. It's pish that we can't celebrate this in the normal way - and I'm missing going to the football massively - but 19/20 can be filed under "very successful". Spoiler YAAAS! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland currently sitting at 14th in the club co-efficient, so if it went straight to group stage then surely we'd be in?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I'll take your word for it. I just assumed we'd miss out as we would have to be down the pecking order as we normally need to play a number of qualifying rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
