I'm that pissed right now, I can't even mind what thread I'm posting on
Anyway, just reading the threads of late.
It's mental how, in my time supporting since late 80's, the odd (really) bad season aside, we've generally floated between the top 3 to 6, or between the bottom 7 to 10, without being massively at perilous risk of the drop, league reconstruction aside.
That said, the last few seasons, as a fan who hasn't been to the games as much as previous and would like, Covid aside, I can't help but think there's a massive over estimation of what is expected from a Motherwell team in this period.
We won a cup in 1991. Prior to that was 52...(54?)...sorry can't mind right now.
We've had a few finals since, all to the top team(s) in the country at the time.
Folks are comparing us to St. Johnstone last season.
Every small / provincial team in every league in every country could do that.
They had a team, manager and set of circumstances come together that was a once in a lifetime situation.
I'm 47, I could live to be 147 and that will never happen again.
That aside, us, we want the best of what we can achieve as a team. After a small glimmer from the Hibs game to kick the season off, it's reverted back to type.
Where's it gonna end...I'll admit, I bought into the GA hype at the start...I'm still there, I'm still onside, but the weekly wankword bingo soundbites after every game are getting tedious.
Think I'm just annoyed that my Scottish Cup Winners bet is looking farcical already and it's only the second week of the season!!
