superwellfan Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Highlight of the day came from my dad: "Watched an interview with that Patrick Swayze" "Patrick Swayze?" "Aye.

Swello Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Totally routine, no excuses loss there - things are looking bad. Our central defence is honking at the moment obviously (the first and third were embarrassing from our point of view) but the number of 60/40 challenges in midfield that a Hibs player came out with against the odds was unbelievable and the lack of pressure on Hibs players in possession is pretty unforgivable. When you are clearly in relegation trouble, you need a bit of fight but the first half was as insipid and toothless as it gets and it's hard to see this current squad having what it takes to dig us out. Thought Hibs were relatively decent and it didn't look like they were on a bad run - McGeady was their best player for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulises de la Cruz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Hopefully McGeady can stay fit for the rest of the season, was outstanding today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The same old story from us today. We played ok at times and created enough chances but we are too nice. We are easy to play against and easy to score against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If any of the wee Motherwell dicks want a Hibs pub to smash up I've heard there's a soft target called The Torino.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate to lump the Hertz in with the rest. Cute. There is a clear gap in quality between Hertz and the rest as well. It's the reason why we're comfortable in third despite playing in Europe till the World Cup break, and will comfortably finish there again. Win our next two at home, which is likely, and we'll be miles ahead. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I've got to say, I like Porteous. Yes, he's a complete c**t when he's in the opposition side but by f**k, what I'd give for someone like him in our defence or midfield right now. I'd like to think I'd act exactly the same way he does if I was a professional footballer. Create seething messes all over the stand at every away ground every other weekend? Yes please! I hope he does move on this window, though. His work appears to be done in this league. If the rumours about Italy are true, he should go there. It'd be a superb move for him and Scotland needs quality centre backs playing at high levels. The game itself? Turgid bollocks. We are soft as shite and lack any sort of quality. A horrific combination. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in October, by the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Tappin Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Two very poor teams trying to out poor each other. We put Hendo on and Motherwell still didn't take advantage so Motherwell outpoored us in the end. Meanwhile Hertz boy thinks there's a gulf in quality between his club and the rest of the league on a weekend when his team had fight back to get a point against St. Mirren and are tied for the second most draws in the league. Funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A horrific combination. If we had someone like Porteous in our team, whether at centre half or in midfield, we wouldnt lose half the silly goals we do and we would be about 9 points better off than we are now. His trip on Sol in the closing seconds is a case in point. He saw what needed to be done and was willing to take a card for the team. We may not have scored, but he made sure we didnt and made sure the 3 points were going back along the M8. Italy would be a great move for him, but if I were Hibs I wouldnt be letting him go unless it was silly money and I had a replacement already lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny. To be fair to Hertz and I don't really like doing it, but they played 6 games at a higher level than the SPFL (well 4 were), travel and injuries and fatigue/burnout. I don't think it's comparable to the other 9 who didn't. At present they are a level above the other diddy teams. This league is a joke however, back to back wins and you go from worrying about a playoff to contemplating getting your passport out. My team is devoid of character or nouse, I measure us against those with similar budgets and we're failing with a very poor return on our investments. I had my epiphany vs Killie and it was cemented yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
