siebsbarmyarmy Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Was always a 50/50 chance. I presume you have something on, rather than a dislike of football on Sunday's? (Not that you need to justify it to me, just curious) Yeah mates little ones christening. Hes not for changing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxteth O'Grady Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'd rather they ran out to 5000 fans going crazy with enthusiasm than 10,000 with half them sitting the whole game with their picnic blanket out and not generating any atmosphere. Agreed. The atmosphere at the 2011 Cup Final was terrible. Too many day trippers. The score didn't help of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did the performance....bloody awful, I am sure if the team had 'had a go' the volume would have been higher Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Agreed. The atmosphere at the 2011 Cup Final was terrible. Too many day trippers. The score didn't help of course. Best thing about that day is the bus back to Motherwell. Stopped in traffic and Sellik fans start nonsense banging windows and singing. One Sellik wank got pished on out the window by 1 of the lads in the top deck and when he tried to get on the bus, got laid out by a beer can to the pus. Then he got lifted and the polis told our bus to leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Tho the atmosphere in 2011 wasnt helped by the build up being 24/7 McCall bleating on about our budget being cut and how we would lose players in the summer. Then inexplicably starting Stevie Hammell in midfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgey Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I am absolutely gutted that I won't be able to get to the game as I'm out the country. Had it been the Saturday, I could've flown up and back to London to fly out Sunday. WHEN we get to the final, it'll be a very different story. I've already booked the 27th November as annual leave to allow for the celebratory pimms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 No the league cup semi against Rangers, we lost 2-1 Lasley scored for us. all I have found is a short clip with the goals from a weird camera angle, in the highlights video from the 6-0 at Ibrox a few weeks later, and the semi highlights appear before those ones.

Well Up For It! Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 In contradiction to the majority, I'm chuffed we got the Sunday game as couldn't make the Saturday. Will have work the next day so will be a tame affair compared to my last few visits to Hampden with the 'Well - unless we scud them of course and maybe have to call in "sick" on the Monday.

Ya Bezzer! Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Agreed. The atmosphere at the 2011 Cup Final was terrible. Too many day trippers. The score didn't help of course. You might say the atmosphere was down to us not kicking a ball from the 1st minute to the 90th minute in the Final but that would be wrong. We didn't kick a ball from winning the semi final. Our previous fixture was a 4-0 scudding off Celtic to go along with other recent scuddings off Dundee Utd (0-4) and Rangers (0-5). The fact is our form going into the Final meant most people who came along weren't really expecting to win and our performance in the match didn't give them any reason to change their mind. We had 1 shot at goal and 38% possession. The Final performance was really just an extension of a very poor end to the season which was completely mismanaged by Stuart McCall. Instead of complaining about fans who came out and bought tickets all the complains should be directed towards the manager and the team who let a lot of good work go to waste. It was the definition of a damp squib and no fans create an atmosphere in those circumstances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Celtic game postponed for this one to be played on 29th Nov. Means we play them 3 times in a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Celtic game postponed for this one to be played on 29th Nov. Means we play them 3 times in a week. Took me a wee minute to work out what the 3rd game was. Would rather Hibs stopped that happening right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Out of all the free midweeks to choose from and the league choose to reschedule it for the Wednesday before we play them on the Saturday?!?!?! Words fail me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words fail me. I think it's Celtic Champions League schedule that made it more difficult to find a clear midweek slot close to the original date.

steelboy Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I agree about the poor management in the run up to the cup final - 6 different defences in 6 games - but the main problem was that about 60% of the people there were probably at their first Motherwell game that season and didn't really give a fuck. Celtic fans stood and made an atmosphere, any attempts at making an atmosphere in our end by lazy bastards that want to sit down for the biggest game in 20 years. As for the date of the rearranged game, obviously Celtic got to pick and now they'll probably be in Europe after New Year chose that date. Given they have Anderlecht on the following Tuesday we will likely face a weakened team in one of the games so it suits me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
