  1. Listened on cell phone from Florida!!! Magic moments, especially 90+5 at Ibrox.

     

    But best thing, even after beating Rangers is Alves comments about how violent we are. Has to be the comment of the century: Motherwell are violent!!! Some of us have waited a long time to see a team that doesn't fold. Thanks for a great start, and I hope the home crowds reflect what's happening on the park!!!

  2. I saw almost all the home games in the 56-60 era, except I wasn't allowed to go to the Rangers and Celtic games, and the best description of the Ancell Babes was "pure football". IMO the best games were against Hearts. Teams from all over the place, including Brazil, came to play, and after soundly beating Leeds, they wanted to buy the whole forward line. Never been a team like them since. Bert McCann was simply magnificent as a player and as a person. Aitken, Martis, McCann, wow. With all we can get on YouTube surely there must be something of them that todays young bucks could look at. When was the last time any team other than R/C had so many internationalists.

  3. Thank God this season will be done in 15 minutes. Even with nothing to play for anybody with respect for the paying supporters should at least put a bit of effort out. The great Motherwell teams never just showed up to, they left their blood on the park. And what was that comment by the manager about doing their best today to help Accies? I think we've lost the plot, and the plot is simply to win games. Who's driving the vision in the organization. In fan ownership, who's actually running the show, and who is making the football decisions? I can hardly wait for next season :fie::fie::fie:

  4. I really wonder if fan ownership is the answer. The whole team goes from same as to same as week by week. Too bad Les didn't stick around a little longer, but it'll take somebody like that to take the organization by the scruff of the neck and shack it. I look at Ross County as an example. There's no way they should be where they are, but they are. And how many new players did Killie bring in at the beginning the season. I'm afraid time has passed by for teams like us unless something dramatic happens. The model just doesn't work. We have no vision. I just hate scraping around at the bottom of the barrel. :wild:

  5. Right, the fight is really on now to survive. Apart from injuries, how do you explain the two goals? Inexperience perhaps, but mostly bad recruiting, and the ghost of MG still does us in again. I don't understand why almost every other team can get stronger with every transfer window, except for us, and it's gone on for a while now. GRRRR.

     

    A few minutes were fine, but the back just didn't do the job today. And how many chances were ruined up front???

  6. Been out since the final whistle! Lethal driving the motor, bodies all over the place!! I've recovered a bit...BUT!!!

     

    Played manager's reaction a few times, and yes, he was speechless, but again imo, it was his fault. A few have wondered how many times we've lost goals and games in the last ten minutes, but did he have a plan for that today? Not that anybody could see. It was Rangers for God's sake, at Ibrox. Did anybody think they wouldn't be coming full steam in the last ten minutes? He should, but never has had a last ten minute strategy, especially against better teams. Stuff we saw leading to the last goal should have been drummed into their heads so much that stupidity should never have happened, and that is all down to the manager, sorry, but that's just a fact. Here was a chance for all of us to be sky high for a week, and a tired player actually thinks he should pass the ball. If ever there was a time for a long ball up the field.

     

    Gutted is not the word, but I know a manager who should be by just looking in the mirror. :ireful::ireful::ireful:
