This thread would be another 4 pages if I had posted that


Anyway HUGE match for Motherwell tonight. Scottish Cup quarter final replay at home to Dundee Utd. A trip to Hampden vs St Johnstone awaits the winner which will give a real chance to get to the final. Dundee Utd are playing really well right now with Motherwell playing really crap but hopefully our home advantage will pay off. Gutted it's not on TV as I can't make it through tonight so the radio will have to do, just hope I don't have to sweat a pen shootout over the raido.

Anyway I fear the worst, my prediction Motherwell 1-2 Dundee Utd

We can only hope Uist but I'd say the chances of them collapsing as a club are <1%

The auld shunt Craig Brown coming to Fir Park tomorrow with Aberdeen, should be interesting
