Motherwell Daft Podcast Launch Day. Motherwell’s 5-Goal Statement vs St Mirren.
The first post match episode of the new Motherwell podcast “Motherwell Daft” reacts to an emphatic win over St Mirren, described as one of Motherwell’s best performances, featuring five goals from five different scorers and a display that could have produced seven or eight.
The hosts praise the team’s passing, movement, and overall domination, highlight “Just” as man of the match.
They debate controversial refereeing decisions, including a red card initially shown to “Gogic” that was overturned and another red card they felt was harsh.
The conversation turns to league context—Motherwell’s points tally and proximity to Celtic and Rangers, upcoming matches at home next Saturday and a rearranged game in early March, and the idea that six points could make European football look almost assured—while cautioning against “win the league” talk to avoid pressure.
They credit the manager’s calm leadership, micro-management, and trust in players for boosting confidence and creating synergy among coaches, players, and fans, and they argue the SPFL has been “box office” with compelling races throughout the table.
The episode closes by celebrating the podcast launch, encouraging viewers to subscribe, and noting availability on Apple and Spotify, other podcast platforms, and YouTube.

In the debut episode of Motherwell Daft, Crofty checks in from Canada while Peter joins from Wishaw (not Motherwell… but close enough).
The lads kick off the new podcast by explaining why Motherwell must have a fan show this season — especially since Crofty has stuck a bet on the ’Well winning the league.
The pair dive into a nostalgic chat about their days as teenage stewards at Fir Park, memories of Roberta in the pie stand, and their later gigs hosting hospitality and stadium announcing.
From Hampden with Paul Cooney to five-year stints in the lounges, the boys have been around the club long enough to have stories.
Then it’s onto the football: Why Motherwell fly best under the radar The absolute VAR shambles in the recent cup tie The transformation of O’Donnell, McGinn and others
Why St Mirren away is never a given & how Aberdeen was a wake-up call — and why the league is still on (maybe) With kickoff 25 minutes away, the boys predict a tight, nervy game — and agree that a scrappy 1–0 would do just fine.
A warm, funny, chaotic introduction to a very Motherwell kind of podcast.
