Murphy has the ability to play for Scotland...no doubt about it. As for any celebrations that are causing offence in games that dont even involve Motherwell...sort your life out. I know if I had the chance to score a goal for my boyhood team, I'd be giving it big licks.

It’s quiet on here when we win.

Looks like there's an Andy Capp pizzeria in Rome, which sounds almost as bizarre as the flag.

Not too fussed about the top 6 finish this year as no doubt we would end up with another 2 away games against the ugly sisters and unless we win the Scottish cup no chance of Europe. So a nice comfy bottom 6 finish in no danger of relegation or playoffs would do me. Plus we might get Accies at Fir park last game to pump them and send them down.

Given last year's efforts, I'll be delighted if we just stay away from the playoffs around the time of split. I have a suspicion Killie's run is about to end, but that might just be wishful thinking.

But does make the whole thing a lot funnier.

He certainly is.

According to Wiki, this is the origin of their colours: "The club's home colours are Tyrian purple and gold, which gives Roma their nickname "I Giallorossi" ("The Yellow and Reds"). Their club badge features a she-wolf, an allusion to the founding myth of Rome." Both colours are of a dark shade, approximating to our colours.

For sure I remember that. I am the Motherwell #7 you see after the penalty save.

This one from a few years ago made me chuckle. I actually played on that team and played in that game. I remember a few of the boys from that team but no idea where they are now. I was #7 and played on the right hand side. Here is what I remember. Willy McLean and Bobby Jenks were in charge of the team. GK - James ??? (played club football in Edinburgh, played for us in Milk Cup and the following year in BP Youth Cup), RB - Jon Combe (I think, another Edinburgh lad), CB Paul Doyle (signed YTS after tournament), LB - Tam Augatis (sp.) also signed YTS after that tournament. Me at RM, CM - A lad called David Gemmill, Up front were 2 Bathgate lads. Paul Ferguson was one (was a YTS signing), the other was a lad called Les Malone (I met Les a few years later, I was studying at Heriot Watt, he was also studying in Edinburgh. I roomed with a guy called James Mulgrew (Dixie), I think he went on to become an attorney. The others I can't really recall. We played Colraine at their home ground in opening game and won. I remember the Man United game the most. It was 0-0 after extra time. Beckham had a penalty saved in the 90 minutes. We lost on penalties and walked off with Nobby Stiles arm around me. The other United coach was Brian Kidd. That was good team. I signed YTS after that summer and played the following year. We had a good BP youth team that year too and went to the semi final. Losing against His at Easter Rd. Alex Burns was in that team, Innes Ritchie, Paul Lavery, and a few of the boys I mentioned earlier. Best I can do. Brought back some great memories. I wish I had the program.
