Yup, and it absolutely pished down for 90 minutes.
We did win a third or fourth round game v Arbroath about then, 4-0 I think. Possibly the year before, least said about that semi-final the better.
That Arbroath game I'm sure was during Roger Hynd's time in charge 1977/78 and was a third round tie. I think we went on a fairly long unbeaten run after he took charge earlier in the year and after beating Arbroath we were drawn at home to an Alan Mackin inspired Queens Park at home in the next round. I was convinced we were going all the way. The draw was concluded as we made our way home and when it was announced on the radio the bus went mental. Then the inevitable doing from Queens Park brought us down to earth - that was the start of the inevitable slide that utlimately cost Hynd his job.

My education was also very much delivered in the 1975 Airdrie cup semi. I still have the scarf I bought for that game in case I ever forget.
The one and only time, I think the 4 step rule was ever used. Though I might be a little biased in that comment.

Yup, correct. I was 12 when that semi took place and I remember my old man literally dragging me back to the car in fucking tears. I was inconsolable for a week. Didn't help that I went to a school full of H*ns, none of whom had ever seen the inside of a football ground. After disposing of Celtic and Hibs in that cup run (and I think Arbroath if my memory serves), we'd already eliminated two of the top three and were well on the way to disposing of the third until the masons stepped in. That really was a year we should have seen a cup win !
Cowdenbeath were our 4th round opponents. Half of Lanarkshire descended on Fife that day.

Please stop this talk of that bastard from Newport on Tay. Costs me a fortune in psychologists fees everytime he’s mentioned 🤣🤬.

Can anyone remember an SPL League game ever being played behind closed doors.
I certainly can't.

Launch that fucking VAR. as I’ve said repeatedly they’re now moving to actively seeking ways to “disallow” goals. Its killing the game and I bet I’m not the only person that’s nearly had enough.

I doubt its anywhere close to that figure, but happy to stand corrected. Will that cost figure not be available from the club accounts?
Point I was making is that St Mirren and Kilmarnock's expenditure for Women's teams isn't likely to be any less than ours and isn't necessarily equated to the division they are in. So I would doubt there is any financial advantage.

I just had a look at the SWPL table and it's noticeable that three of the clubs we are chasing for the top 6 don't have a top division women's team. That's surely handing St Mirren, Dundee and Kilmarnock a financial advantage over us?
If the Society is going to be asking the support to dig deeper then they have to make sure we aren't throwing money away. There's been a lot of talk about Kilmarnock getting KVV but when you consider how much more we spend on the pitch plus training facilities over them then it's obvious how they can afford it. It gives them a clear competitive and financial advantage and it would cost us nothing to try and get the rules changed to even that out.
To actually have any say on these issues the society would need to have the majority on the club board. It's not feasible to be asking members to put in money to be effective junior partners to people who are putting in nothing.
Kilmarnock have a Women's team, but they are currently in SWPL2. Not sure why being in SWPL has any bearing on their expenditure on that front. St MIrren are in SWPL1.

Think he came on for us in the League Cup, so he couldn't move to a 3rd senior club.
He actually started the opening game at Elgin.

Not sure how likely it is but would be good if we can keep the core of the squad and add to it with some better quality. Not sure who’s on loan but would love to see Gent and Vale here next season. I Also like Halliday and Nicholson. I know we will have Miller and Bair. I think Miller will be a stand out next season. Need to see what we can do to keep Spittal
I'd add Devine to that list.

The guy’s been on good form the last week, told his co commentator to shut it when he suggested Rangers or Celtic should sign Lennon Miller last Sunday, said on Wednesday that he should be left to continue his development at Motherwell for the next 15 seasons and topped it off tonight saying he had lost his hair twice since Motherwell last beat Rangers in the league
Also, he’s had more faith in the manager and squad than most of us on here this season.
That comment about his hair, was superb. Had a right "belly laugh" at it.

What a fantastic result. I had given up all hope of beating them again in my lifetime.

I got a vote and I've never paid a lump sum.
I don't think he meant a "lump sum", but the sum of the contributions hadn't exceeded that level as a threshold for voting rights.
I don't know for certain, but I doubt there is a "limit". Once you've paid, your a member and entitled to a vote.

The cross in from SOD for Nicholsons goal was a belter, and the cross in 1st half was asking to be headed home and Mugabi fecked it up, all in a great performance from SOD tonight
The cross for Mugabi's miss actually came from Blair Spittal.

I was speaking to a colleague at work who is a Celtic fan on Monday morning and he was commenting on how fit he thought the Motherwell team looked.
Kettlewell has had a significant amount of misfortune in his time with us, losing players through injury and contract negotiations etc. I do sense that there is a real effort to do things in the right way and that the misfortune of injuries is just an additional challenge that he has had to adapt to as the season has progressed.
With RC currently winning tonight, the game tomorrow becomes just that little bit more important. If it was at FP I would be confident but on the plastic pitch I would take a draw with no additional injuries.
Typical OF patronising pish. Majority were out in their feet after an hour.

Lennon Miller is just 17 and looks as though he has a very good career in front of him.
However, media hacks and pundits suggesting that the OF clubs should think about signing him is disgraceful. The same clowns always bemoan how uncompetitive the league is yet as soon as any decent players appear on the scene at other clubs they start touting them.
I just hope him and his dad don’t get carried away only to have his career ruined like many others before him. If he keeps progressing he can set his sights much higher than Ibrox or Parkhead.
Faddy cut that prick Mulgrew short on that suggestion - "behave - let him grow" I think was his retort.

So why the cloak and dagger over it then? Had that been announced last year after he ensured our safety in the top flight then I don’t think there would have been a Motherwell fan out there who would have had a problem with that, but for some reason the club choose to keep it quiet.
No idea - paraphrasing from a post over on P&B.

What a memory jerker that is. Dropped my mum and sister off in the city centre - dad in his wisdom decided we would take in the game. First turnstyle he came too was the main stand at the city centre end of the ground. Got in and were surrounded by priests (hundreds of them). My dad's advice? sit on your hands and we both managed it until Pettigrew's winner - he was first out his seat followed quickly by me. Thankfully we got out without too much trouble. The look on their faces as we celebrated was a joy to behold.
