I stood right up beside my telly and played this over again but looking at a different individual each time. It was pure theatre. Faddy turned away celebrating before the goal is scored. The defenders rushed the ref when the ball was still bouncing in their six yard box. Lasley stealing 10 yards after the original taker was told to put the ball back. Aberdeen actually set up a wall. I need to go back and watch it again.

I watched it in a sports bar on a small Greek island that very few will have heard of. I had gone in the day before (any excuses for a beer) to check they would show it, and the owner put it on a telly in the corner running from a laptop just for me. The other TVs were showing tennis, formula one and a couple of English games, but something finished before the goal and the owner changed that TV to the 'well game but it was running ahead of the computer feed. As the game was almost finished, I just kept watching the computer feed and when the goal went in I assumed it would be chopped off so I wasn't too excited at first but because the other TV was ahead, I kept looking over and the goal seemed to be being allowed. By the time I knew the goal was good, it was too late for a jump around so I just sat and pished myself laughing instead. Great day.

What gets me is the seeming lack of due diligence. We sign players who have had a long list of injuries - on one year contracts. Or players who will take three months to get up to speed - on one year contracts. Or ex-internationalists who are two stones overweight. And injured. The ability might not be in question, but their utility to us is questionable, at best. We also sign players who are good at something, but can't fit into our pattern of play. It seems that the remit of recruitment is just to find players, not to find guys who will be up and fitting in in August.

Fond memories kindled by looking at this. Although remember Dixie smacking me in the face with the ball and bursting my nose as I sat on the wall at what is now the East Stand.

Rangers (Insert number between 3 and 8 ) - Motherwell 0 Post Match - We go again, how can we expect to compete with their budget? Monday - Some inane social media shite about the boys working hard in training Wednesday - Aberdeen are coming here full of confidence, look at their budget and their players, how can we expect to compete? All we can ask is that the boys give everything Boxing Day - Tannadice is a difficult place to come. The boys gave everything after playing 3 matches in 7 days but we have a small squad and boys not on a lot of money so how can we really expect to compete when you look at the resources? 30th Of December - It has been a really difficult period for us. Playing so many matches in such a short space of time. Look at our injuries. We're making lots of chances but it's just not happening for us. Will Motherwell win another game in 2020? Will Rickie Lamie throw away another goal? Will we ever score an equaliser? Tune in next time on a dodgy Motherwell Tv stream to find out.
