He is on 88th minute , Clarke must have been reading steelmenonline 😀

Come on Steve Clarke get Lennon Miller on the pitch and give him a chance 🤣 Just go for it

I lived in North Yorkshire at the time and drove up specially for the game with a couple of English mates who I had "persuaded" to make the 'Well their Scottish team. The drive home was about 3 hours and we were still soaking wet when we got out the car at the other end.

Was that the 1990 cup tie? When it went 4-0 my dad and I headed to Supporters bus as was about a 20 min walk, absolutely soaked. Not a happy day

Too true They've never stood on the Gorgie Rd terracing soaked through as you lose a cup tie 4-0. Still stayed to the end. Been there got the t-shirt, nearly dry noo.

Absolutely, my old man RIP who would have been 80 now if still here , and my uncle who is now 85 and has been going to Fir Park for 70 years roughly but not at many games now would have been queuing up at the ticket office previously This digital era we live in can be a pain for some folk , it is not going away now though of course

I understand why there is a push for it commercially. But there should always be an option to to pay cash and get a physical ticket. Not just at the fitba either.

The bosses at Hampden live in a totally different dimension to the rest of us. Not in touch with the real world , never had to que for a ticket or to get into a game for decades if ever. Corporate meetings and freebee trips is the norm. Much like it has always been for the top table in our game.

Tam Cowan on BBC Scotland just now talking about the ticket fiasco , Hampden app etc I Must admit even in this day in age someone should be able to walk up to the ticket office and purchase a paper ticket The whole online thing is one thing , but there are people in this country who have never been online in their life , and might not be able to rely on someone getting them a ticket , so decide against going

A sacrifice to make as they would leave the stadium to suffer no more jokes resulting in only well fans in stadium and buddies players got mo backing Sorted! 🤣🤣

Anyone notice anything farmiliar in this video?

Might be the St Mirren fans that panic. The fear being that he cracks a few jokes to keep them entertained.

Fook!!

Yep that's it. I used a transfer ticket for the Scotland game last night and had no issues. Even the scanners were straightforward and user friendly. Took seconds to get in. Easy. Just remember the QR code will not activate until the morning of the game but the ticket will show up in the App well before that. You'll know when the code is active because a wee line continually circles it. Proves it is the original, valid code and not a copy. You can transfer a ticket before the code is active. I have one sitting waiting on activation on Sunday morning.

And then panic when they arrive and you see they are in the St Mirren section.

Not a former player, but well done Dougie Morton manager and partner raise £18k in memory of baby daughter

Yep, hope you bought plenty we need a good turn out 😂

KVV pleads guilty to domestic abuse charges Figured there might be something in it seeing as he kept getting contracts cancelled

Well done and welcome to the new digital phone age indeed. I've still to take the plunge and get mine. The world really has changed since our last visit to the national stadium.

Good to read more about his thinking. And he seems to have a much more realistic vision and plan than the old John Boyle approach of spend spend spend (and merge with Airdrie).

Great article

Here's the article in full Last week, Jens Berthel Askou raised some eyebrows ahead of Motherwell’s visit to Celtic Park by boldly proclaiming that his team would not be going to the home of the champions to frustrate them, but to win. In the end, only a last-gasp Daizen Maeda goal prevented his men from returning to Lanarkshire with a point, which on the strength of their performance, they may have felt was the least they deserved. Having gone behind, The Steelmen showed strength of character and exhibited some fine play to first draw level and then pull ahead courtesy of an Apostolos Stamatelopoulos double, only for Celtic’s late comeback to leave them empty handed. What they did take away from the game though was even more confidence that under Berthel Askou, and with his expansive style, they can not only compete for silverware and at the right end of the table during this season, but have a foundation upon which to build something special in the longer term. The Dane doesn’t seem the type to make outlandish statements that his team cannot then back up, so when he casts an eye to the Fir Park future and references the example of Bodo/Glimt, then it pricks the ear, and it should be something that excites the Motherwell fanbase, comparable in number as it may be the Norwegian shock troops Under Kjetil Knutsen, the team from inside the Arctic Circle have gone from relative oblivion in footballing terms to the Champions league. The odds of Berthel Askou taking Motherwell along a similar path may seem fanciful, but the same might have been said about Bodo/Glimt 10 years ago. Given time, and an opportunity to build upon the solid base he has already constructed, Berthel Askou believes anything is possible. "It's difficult at bigger clubs that have to produce results straight away,” Berthel Askou said. "I think the smaller the club, the more time you are given to produce results. That's the nature of football. "But I think there's more and more good examples in modern football of smaller clubs who have grown to become top clubs because they didn't have that pressure of having to win now. "Bodo/Glimt is a good example in Norway. They are now in the Champions League, but they came from nowhere. From nothing. Now it's one of the most successful clubs in Scandinavia. "They've kept building and building and haven't mentioned the word winning or result or victory. They don't use it in their vocabulary, in their approach, which is very interesting. "The top clubs, who are consistent, focus on performance and development, because they know that's what is going to keep them winning league titles and performing in Europe." It is easy to see then why they, and their coach Knutsen, are such a template for Berthel Askou to follow, and he hopes, an achievable vision for Motherwell as a club to reach for. "Full credit to Bodo/Glimt,” he said. “What they've done as a football club is a great inspiration, especially to clubs who aren't the biggest size. "Mjallby in Sweden is another example. They were more used to fighting relegation. Now a few years later they're top of the league by a mile. And it's not because they've had a sugar daddy, pumping millions into the club. That's not how Swedish football works. It's fan owned. "That shows that things are possible for the smaller clubs, as long as they have a good solid approach and they keep their composure within the club and the fans. "If they trust each other, they can do great things in time.
