Diamond Scot Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 SIigo more comfortable on the ball. Its embarrassing. Motherwell players taking 2 or 3 touches to do the most basic things. No invention or anything, can see their next pass coming miles ahead of time. Need a set piece goal or a mistake to get back into this as things stand.

weekevie04 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Sligo well deserved winners, and good luck to them! Motherwell, what an embarrassment though. How much are some of their high-paid players on a league? Absolute mugs for even paying them that much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDB46 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It’s up there with minter results in recent years . still can’t get my ahead around how Motherwell 3 games in 18 to qualify for this . fear for Dundee United next week as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Scot Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Motherwell were shocking but so have many of our sides been in Europe over the years. Not good enough to say that its too early in the season. Its concerning how technically inferior our sides continually appear to be even against teams from really small / inferior countries. Standard of pitches contributing to longer ball football a factor? Playing through the winter when build up play isnt rewarded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 scottish football is diddy. Take rangers and Celtic out and we are Irish/welsh league. Nobodies of football. Motherwell would struggle in league 2 in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish clubs on the other hand are generally at the end of their pre-season right now. I’d say that that’s the main reason for why these results tend to happen. I don’t think it’s much to do with mentality or professionalism. I’d fully expect Motherwell to be a lot better in the return leg. So did I. That expectation went well.....................

Couldn’t really care less however the brutal reality is the vast majority of the league would probably be forever dotting about English leagues 1&2, that’s their standard. That’s the standard rangers and Celtic are up against every week, its completely pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texaco,cup for example. what this demonstrates in stark reality is how far we have fallen against this standard. Outside rangers and Celtic our teams are Irish and Welsh league level. it’s very sad to see our once great game decline to such a poor level. Thirty odd years ago, I got in to a disagreement with frank Worthington about the standard of our game, but he was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirty odd years ago, I got in to a disagreement with frank Worthington about the standard of our game, but he was right. We have gone toe to toe with them internationally, we've drawn with them in our last two meetings. Domestically, what do you expect? The EPL has been flooded with money. Comparing our leagues is totally pointless. Scottish clubs flirted with European success but it was nothing compared to how English clubs have had periods of domination. We were hardly ever at their level This fascination with what they think of us is weird. I couldn't give a flying fuck what any of them think and I live with them. When it comes to football I largely ignore what they say because what they say comes from a position of extreme ignorance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 It’s hardly a shock anymore to see any of our teams lose in Europe. Sounds like Sligo deserved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
