Crazy game. Just got a second assist to put the Well up 3-0.
Player of the match on Fotmob.
HOWEVER - Hearts scored 3 in a short space of time and ended 3-3. Bonkers atmosphere, great for the neutral, but not for me who since yesterday is Motherwell til I die

My old man was born in Motherwell so been a supporter since a kid, surprisingly most of my cousins still in th area are die hard rangers fans, one of my cousins sons for abit was part of the Motherwell youth set up but I think he’s given that away and is into marathons now
Some lovely skills for the first assist. Then some pretty average defending from Hearts gives him acres of space to make the run for the 2nd one.
Scrappy Doo wouldn't have been happy, I think it's him Just tears away from with the 2nd goal.

The fans seem happy with him. The man of the match poll for this morning’s game has Just winning with 95% of votes at time of writing. Lots of comments to the effect of ‘Just with yet another solid game.’
We always knew he was too good for Austrias second tier but it’s great to see him prove it.

Seen on Instagram a healthy contingent of Kiwi comedians currently performing at Edingburgh Fringe Fest went out to the Hearts vs Motherwell game to support the bro.
At about 25 secs in, I think it is Scrappy Doo Devlin and Just having a little Trans Tasman chat close up. From the match highlights Cammy D struggled to contain Eli J.
Catching the eye of everyone in Tynecastle. Unplayable at times 👏

His only issue has been lack of strength on the ball - Scottish football will fix that up real quick, and he's already progressing well

He’s getting a lot of plaudits from opposition fans too. Nice to see. Seems to be thriving in that environment. ‘Well are quite good at bringing talent through so he’ll have plenty of support around him and as they’re a smaller club, a lot less expectation weighed on his shoulders. I think it took quite a few by surprised just how good they were for the first 60 mins, but this hearts side are well over hyped.

Might be about the best highlights package I've seen of a Kiwi performing at a high level in a very long time.
You know its a good performance when even the Hearts fans were saying things like "He's run circles around us all day" "Could only stop him by trying to clatter him" & "Best performance I've seen from an opposition player at Tynecastle in some years"

Scottish football has once again shown its true face. I put through an argument a month ago that Scottish football is not stronger than the A-league with "probable exception" to Rangers and Celtic. And that exception is only, only based on European football teams being allowed to play any player from Europe (or those that have European passports) without limits, unlike the A-league. The below report documents Scottish footballs true face. Peoples eyes have always been clouded by its football history, the media and its geographical location.
Auckland (Champions) vs Hibs (3rd place) - my bet will be on Auckland, all day.

Motherwell won 1-0 against Aberdeen thanks to a Regan Charles-Cook goal after 63 minutes but Eli Just missed this game with an unspecified injury knock. Only game that he’s missed this year but the lads got the job done without him (albeit with a little less class in possession than usual). Motherwell are still undefeated this season, by the way, having drawn all five Premiership games and won all five League Cup games (including one via penalties during the group stage... probably should count as a draw but the idea still stands).
Midfielder Eli Just is also under an injury cloud, but Bazeley is more optimistic he could play some part in the coming window. Just has been part of every All Whites squad named since his debut in November 2019, but has missed Motherwell’s last two matches in the Scottish Premiership with a groin issue.
Monday. Motherwell with the toughest game in Scottish football. A visit to Celtic Park. Celtic juggling midweek Europa League games. Just not listed on Mothwerell's injury list, so touch wood he's good to go.
Edit -Motherwell lose 3-2. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos a double for the losers. Stamatelopoulos still not really in Socceroos conversations. He'd be handy for the AWs.

He’d probably start beside Chris next week if he was available for us. Sad to say that at the last WC we played in we had 4 strikers all at a good level playing well and scoring, now we have just one and he’s the wrong side of 30.

To be fair though it’s like we swapped our midfield and striking resources. Perhaps even our midfield/defense.
Then we had Vicelich out of retirement and Barron, an amateur player, on the bench. If we count Just and McCowatt, Garbett, Singh, Bell, Stamenic, Thomas, Rufer, and Ben Old we have 9 quality players there. And Parker-Price emerging from hibernation to boot!

I’m sure Ivan would have still been pro had Auckland had an A League team then.
We were significantly stronger up front, midfield is stronger now but Elliott at that time was better then any one currently IMHO (Stamenic to hopefully better his level while Thomas and Just are different sorts of players) and at the back, then easily, though in 2030 I think that will be our strongest position again. Keepers are better now and our bench is much much stronger.
