Looks like he's already landed a job managing this mob in South Wales

Not posted here in an absolute age.... but felt compelled to after the way my phone was pinging on Saturday following the Block E boys bus stopping off in my town of Auchterarder on Saturday. A group of them decided to spray paint and sticker parts of the town, including on a few memorial planters outside the town hall. The were confronted by an elderly neighbor of mine who was subsequentially met with a torrent of abuse before they headed into The Star bar. Absolutely no need for this behavior at all and reflects so poorly on club as a whole. And yeah, I know it would only be a certain few within the group that finds this funny and acceptable and not tarnishing them all with the same brush, but surely the older ones need to nip this in the bud and help protect the reputation of Block E? As I am involved a lot in our community here, I had my phone pinging with messages from friends and neighbors who know I'm a Motherwell fan - some as a wind up, some being more serious - all while I was out in Glasgow with my wean at a show. There was apparently similar damage/graffiti done earlier in the year around August time so a lot of the locals are now making a big deal of it. There is quite extensive CCTV that identifies the culprits - some of which I have seen - and it has been shared with he police and the club. There is a response from Brian Caldwell that has been shared in the community page. Worth pointing out that a lot of travelling supporters from lots of clubs stop in Auchterarder - and this is only time in 12 yrs staying here I have seen anything like this being raised - so a really shitty look for the club. Putting it on here to highlight and the off chance that anyone wants to take ownership and accountability for this. I will gladly put you in contact with the Auchterarder Community Council who will be footing the bill for your actions, maybe stop any police action before it happens.

We were also unlucky that that cheating bastard Craig Thomson was the ref and Sinclair was a diving cunt.

Unpopular opinion and this is fine by me Absolutely gutted we lost in the semi final , I woke up this morning thinking I could have been at Hampden today , the way the season is going with a very good chance of beating Celtic today On the other hand happy St Mirren , Robbo and Las won , and hoping even more now we win the Scottish Cup 🏆 Would rather see any team outwith those 2 Glasgow mobs win

He was so bad, we sacked him again just to be sure.

Convenient alibi.

Ban them from Auchterarder?

Some Motherwell fans really are deplorable human beings 🤔

Well done to St Mirren, good to see anyone but the Old Firm win a cup!!!!!!!!!!!

I am ok with that as yer positivity has had an effect on the team 😀

Delighted to see Celtic being beaten by anyone at home, in Europe, in friendlies, fucking anything...well done St Mirren 👏 👏 👏 👏

A comfortable home win is a must, though there’s probably more chance of Ward scoring than either of our two strikers.

A friend texted me with an account of the Ball Boys incident. They were placing balls near the corner flags to stop us taking quick bykicks. JBA sent Tom Sparrow to move them in line with the 6 yard box. The Ball Boys then kept moving them back. Pathetic gamesmanship from Jim Goodwin. Thanks Ian. Although I wasn't at the game nor at Falkirk, the referees should have stepped in and nipped this practice in the bud. Its downright cheating. This and "selective" watering of plastic pitches should be subject to a code of conduct issued by the authorities to stamp this kind of thing out. Its bringing the game into disrepute.

Disappointed not to win that but happy enough not to lose and preserve our unbeaten and clean sheet run. Again that game highlights our weakness up front but we undoubtedly are more than decent elsewhere on the park. Hopefully results like today and the other draws we’ve had won’t come back to haunt us but you’ve got to say we are in with a big shout of top six this season.

Even when he is getting fouled he needs to make the effort to keep playing. After a while refs just stop giving free kicks even when he does get fouled.

‘Mon the ‘Well Nice to have a full week between the games for players to recover and work on stuff in training. The flip side though is that it seems Like ages before Saturday comes around again amd when our team is playing this well and getting results, you just want the next game to come along as quick as possible. We are certainly capable of getting 3 points but we will have to play well, take our chances amd stay solid at the back. We don’t get the 3 points just for turning up. We have the footballing ability but all the best teams also have the mental ability, not to become complacent, to maintain focus and stick to the proven plan.

I started going to fir park was in 1968 and Dixie was one of the stars of that team that steamrollered their way to winning the second division . But despite his many goals my main memory of Dixie was in the new year game at Hamilton where him and Lamont the arses goalie were in the middle of the six yard box punching lumps out of each other and unsurprisingly both sent off. Yet another in a list of players over the years that Celtic have stolen from us . RIP Dixie

No one should be subjected to abuse and threats and I highlighted that at the time he left but his stories seemed to contradict each other as folk that sat in O'Donnell stand and were at away games didnt recall it being as bad as he was making out. Way he left club for me was terrible in way he more or less blamed whole support and to bring out that interview with The Sun on day Wimmer was appointed was lack of respect though that was probably the Sun's decision. Yes there are wallopers in every support. The guy at Falkirk home game a few weeks ago at back of Hunter stand beggared belief. Thankfully not seen him since, probably in a mood as we are playing great football 🤣🤣 COYW

Humpey and gropey were rumbled along with the other 1970's presenters 🤣🤣

Ftfy

Mrs grizzly's ears burning as I hsve been singing songs from les miserables ! 🤣🤣, ps. Last sentence a clue

I am sooooo jealous of that one. Take a bow sir, brilliant

Sounds like a Cry For Help from Dundee 🤪🤪

On a serious note I just can’t help but grin with a smug satisfaction about this. I had nothing against Stuart Kettlewell when he was with us but I thought he had well and truly run his course by the time he left. And had he left it at that then there probably wouldn’t even have been half the bad feeling towards him. It was a case of he did his time, did some good things and plenty of bad things but it clearly wasn’t working anymore and we go our separate ways. But he just couldn’t resist engaging victim mode rather than just going quietly and unfortunately it was compounded by his pals in the media, our social media and some of our depressingly gullible fans who helped pedal that narrative. And so he went to Kilmarnock where he failed and had their fans calling him out for the exact same issues that ours did. He has been well and truly found out.

Let’s hope that’s the last we see of that incompetent, loathsome fraud anywhere near the Premiership.

LOL

He has nobody else to blame this time apart from the fact that he's just a shite football manager

My Thoughts are with his family

Next weeks el plastico against Falkirk is going to be huge for him.

Robbo will be unbearable but I am glad buddies won. I hate seeing old firm win anything. I will say I am delighted for Las

It helps when the clearly superior opposition has shot themselves in the foot repeatedly with bad decisions on and off the park relating to managers and player recruitment. We’ve never got that slice of fortune whenever we’ve faced Celtic in cup finals in recent times. Obviously that was outwith our control but as I said I still wouldn’t have backed us to beat this particular Celtic side in a Cup final had it been us playing them today.

I hope a bigger club does take him away from St.Mirren now. I hate St.Mirren with a passion. Robinson is a decent guy who did well with us and unfortunately much better with them.

I am truly sickened about that. I’m giving up football for the foreseeable.

This whole business of watering the pitch weird, and pissing about with the multi ball is so small time. However, its flattering that teams now need to coordinate with gardeners and children to stop us.

NEW STRIKER PLEASE. We finally put a good ball into the box at the end and, once again, our nearly-man fluffed it.

70% possession and nearly 590 passes with an accuracy of 80% at Tannadice is just bonkers. We were the team on the front foot so no idea what game the bbc were watching.

Hendry just never seems to be in the correct position

What are these guys on. Wanting a pen for that. Absolutely wild takes. Pair of utter clowns.

Slattery needs to be told to stop falling over.

Utd commentators a pair of whining rockets

As an aside, but still talking about what we want from our goalkeeper, how good would Big Sieb be in this team? 😆😆😆

Yes, a lot of our defensive success can be attributed to denying the opposition possession near our box. Ward is a good fit for our system. Like Grizzly though, I'm not 100% convinced of his reliability at cross balls. As Big Mal once said "The greatest crime in football is to make your goalkeeper do any work at all".

I’ve been one of the more vocal critics of Ward since he came in, but credit where it’s due. He’s done what’s been asked of him, taken risks and clearly improved. Our best form of defence is keeping the ball, and he’s been integral to that.

Likely Balmer and Ox. JBA keeps mentioning Halliday’s recovery, so he’s potentially in the plans as midfield cover. Halliday might be alright with that too. He’ll get minutes once he’s fit since JBA rotates a lot. Not the worst bit of cover if he’s willing to play the JBA way. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if all three moved on.

He was that. RIP Dixie

RIP Dixie Deans 79 Before my time but great goalscorer for Motherwell

First he said he was taking abuse at Fir Park. When that was questioned he decided that it was his family that was getting abuse at Fir Park. When that was questioned he said it was on social media or his kids at school. I'm sure there were fans telling him he was useless during his long winless spell. I'd be surprised if anyone in the Main Stand was abusing his immediate family (although they may have heard fans yelling at him). Kids getting teased at school because their dad's a football manager sounds like par for the course regardless of what team you manage. If any of that was true, then I agree, there is no place for it - but it sounded more like excuses for his failure, and he didn't want "damage his brand". If he had been like Robinson or McCall, and told the truth that he was no longer able to get a performance from the players despite everything he had tried, I'm sure he would at least have had the respect of most fans. I'm also sure, if his family was taking abuse at Fir Park, the club would have worked with him to stamp it out. Of course, if you are a football manager or player who expects to go through every match without taking a bit of stick when you lose, then you are probably in the wrong profession.

Stop that kind of talk at once. I'm a BBC pundit and Scottish fans would much rather have seen the free kick put out at the corner flag so that Motherwell could have tried to force a mistake. This playing football stuff is an outrage against society.

Think we’ll take it 2-1.
