Why ? are Lithuanian refs any worse than Scottish ones, or do you just not like them

Looks like a bunch of European mercenary refs will be in charge this weekend, if there is another disputed decision against Celtic will they seek clarification from the SFA or UEFA

My thoughts as well took me a few days to get over that

Why all the worrying, half of the Dundee team will be gone in January, so if they are still in business they will have a team of reserves and boys on the field. Even if we lose Blackman etc we will still be too strong for them. Looking forward to a good away day and a comfortable win for the well. :wank:

I think that the refs want the SFA to do what they should have done weeks ago and take a firm stance against clubs and players ( ie celtic ) who have been calling them cheats and biased etc. We have had no meaningful statements from any of the Fuds on the SFA executive or from the invisible man that is the chief executive. They had the power to resolve this issue and they have done nothing about it, they are Sh*t scared of upsetting Celtic, so they let them get away with doing what they like.

Totally agree the SFA are run by the Blazers from all the wee diddy teams like Brechin, Clyde, etc who are only interested in their free trips abroad and not paying into matches, they dont give a feck about the state of the game. There has been a deafening sillence from Hampden throughout this whole sorry affair, McDonald should have been sacked immediately, Celtic and Neil Lennon should have been charged with misconduct for calling all refs Cheats etc, so i am with the refs on this one. However all it does is feed all the conspiracy arseholes at Celtic park and gives them further justification. We need to clear out the whole SFA and get people in who are experienced at running a multi million pound business, or football in scotland is F**Ked

The miss at Hibs was bad, he should have done better from 2 yards out That said i think he is a good player and given time he will be a real asset to motherwell. The whole team were poor against St mirren, We are missing lasley in midfield, Hatley cannot play there, so until Lasley is fit i would have a middle 4 of Humphrey, Jennings, Forbes and Gow that would give us a bit of pace down each side. Murphy was poor on Saturday but if Blackman stays beyond January then that could be a good pairing up front, with Sutton as an option.

Away to Dundee once again we get a dodgy draw, but they will have half a team by then so we should pump them easily, our away form is not too bad.

The SFA are not blameless in this situation they should have dealt with the whole Dougie McDonald episode better, he should have been sacked, and never allowed to referee another match. That said the SFA have not had the balls to stand up to Celtic and deal with their players and management calling them cheats, biased etc. The Celtic board are guilty as well as they have constantly refused to critise their manager, who if he was an ordinary fan and acted like that he would be in the jail. The other clubs should get together and force the SFA to act and get this crap sorted out, for the sake of the game

Agree with this one a good away win is on the cards, we are playing well just now, Blackman and Humphrey are on fire

I think the only people who are likely to buy the half season ticket are regular attenders to Fir Park, so they will probably know about it anyway .i dont think many people would buy someone a season ticket without asking. So the adverts might not bring in enough revenue to justify the cost of putting them out. On the general point though i dont think the club advertises itself enough outwith the web site, they could probably do a lot more locally, papers, radio etc. We need all the supporters we can get so increasing the advertising budget might be a good move.

I dont agree with the "curse" tag but it is unusual for 4 players in the same team to have died at a young age, the 91 cup final team never played together again, as Boyd went to Chelsea before the start of the next season. Another squad member Colin "Psycho" O'Neil had to retire early from football due to Injury so you can see why the Curse label is used. This might be a job for Mulder and Scully

very harsh i think he is beginning to come on to a bit of form, he needs games to sharpen up, that said it was a bad miss on saturday but every motherwell player has been guilty of that at some time. Motherwell just need to find a bit of concistency and string a run of wins together we managed it last season about this time, no reason why we can't do it again.

If we are serious about finishing 3rd or 4th this season theses are the games we need to win. I think we will win, but if St Mirren put the shutters up like they did against celtic then we might struggle as we never seem able to break teams down. Can anyone confirm if the game is all ticket or pay at the gate ?

another popoular thread !!! :wank:

The point i was trying to make was forget about referee's and bad decisions they even themselves out over the season, or at least they should

Totally agree, the atmosphere at Fir park is okay, its Motherwell not Milan or Barcelona

While the quality of referreeing on show was shocking we cant escape the fact that we lost because Craigan made a C**t of it twice allowing Riordan to score, and Gow headed wide from 2 yards out !!! We are creating chances and by all accounts from people who were at the game we we the better side, so lets concentrate on the football and not get sucked in to the conspiracy theories coming from Parkhead. Craig Brown is too much of a gentelman to complain, just leave that to that Rabid wee ginger Pr**K, Lennon

Hibs will get a boost from beating Rangers but they are still a Dodgy side, we look to be getting a bit of consitency at last, if all thet main players stay fit, ie Blackman, Murphy, Jennings, etc then we will do well. I am going for a 2-0 win to Motherwell ( Blackman & Murphy). Our away form has been good so we should go to Easter road with high hopes of a great result.

Is there a point to this topic ?

It makes no difference who the ref is they are all dodgy, if the well play as we know they can we will pump hibs as they are Sh*t. This nonsense with refs has been going on for years, its only getting lots of press now as nobody at the SFA has the balls to stand up to the conspiracy theorists at Parkhead and tell them to Feck off You can pick any team you like and if you go back far enough you will find that for every decision they think has gone against them, there will be one that they have got away with. Fans have been arguing about referee's decisions since football started, every country,every league. The only reason we seem to be obsessed with it is that Celtic have been carrying a huge chip on their shoulder since 1888 trying to convince anybody who will listen that the establishment is against them, and the media seem to like it. So never mind who the ref is support the team and we will get the result, we are better than them.

Could'nt agree more the whole Casual thing was bullshit a load of guys using football as an excuse to fight and behave like a**e holes. Now we look back and it is viewed as some sort of "right of passage", for your average foottie fan. What it done in reality was that every ground or town you went to in those days you were herded about like cattle by the police. you could not get into any pubs etc. Does anybody really thing that that was a good thing? Fair play to the Guy who wrote the book, but these kind of books are always based on the Authors and other contributors recollections of the time, and these are always exagerated and "sexed Up" to fit the story and should be viewed accordingly.

:wank:

Our home form needs to improve if we are going to keep a grip on 3rd. Murphy coming back is a big bonus and Gow Blackman and Humphrey all look to be in good form just now, so i think it will be a good win for us.
