Quite happy with this draw, but no doubting this is going to be a very tough game

Another one of my favourite games , Faddy was sensational that day I still think back to the 4-3 defeat to Rangers in the Scottish cup semi final that season thinking if only Clarkson had put that chance away to make it 3-1 just before half time we would have won that, remember being disappointed losing but bursting with pride we had gave such a good account of ourselves that day and would have been in with a good shout against Dundee in that years final

Glad this inspired you, I found your channel through a recent Facebook post and have been watching the uploads on a daily basis The 6-1 against Hearts was a great favourite of mine also , along with the 2-1 v Celtic and 1-0 v Rangers in the same season The start of the 02/03 season we were in dire straits yet despite a lot of poor results that season there was a definite fighting spirit in that side

I see where you are coming from with this In 2017/2018 and 2019/2020 we won all 4 group games, which can only build confidence Might not have the glamour of a euro tie, but as you rightly point out the euro ties you mentioned all ended in defeat which doesnt build confidence

Best team won on the night, was a result that I am not too surprised about , and as an earlier post mentioned I believe Sligo would beat half the sides in our league also Once again the fans turned up in a big game, and the players didnt. Has been happening all too often in the last 10 years or so, playoffs and the two cup runs in 2017/2018 aside Hopefully we get a result in Ireland next week and turn this around but not too confident that will be the case

Dont get me wrong, St Mirren are not a team I have ever liked really for one reason Because every time we play down there we always seem to struggle and has been this way for a long time I would be happy enough for them to be in the championship for this reason alone, happy for Robbo to do well though along with Lasley, Carson etc, not Gallagher though of course When it comes right down to it I dont have any real dislike for any of the teams in the league with the exception of the obvious two teams in Glasgow The Bigots vs the Other Bigots Never been fond of Aberdeen, though at the same time if they had a strong team like the 80s and won titles ahead of the old firm I could get behind them , same with either of the Edinburgh clubs despite the fact they can annoy me when Well play them Dont mind Dundee united, Killie, St Johnstone , Livingston and a few others at all tbh as I see them as being similar to us

Poor result for St Mirren though Arbroath definetly a good side and still underrated in my opinion Will be happy to see St Mirren do well this year as long as they dont finish higher than us

Great result that day Motherwell undefeated in 1994 against Celtic who have still to win a match in the new year

Was definetly the case, it was Chris Robinson at the time and this had annoyed John Boyle so much To be fair Billy Davies was spot on, should have been called off before it had started Here is another favourite of mine from the same era, Was at this game at Tannadice and was Big Don Goodman's debut The Well were excellent on this day

The Pat Nevin goal against Hearts was one that sticks in the mind also, what also sticks in my mind more was the original game that was abandoned Found the footage on youtube uploaded by a Hearts fan, I remember it being horrid conditions that day, I fast forwarded it to the half time part and the conditions look shocking Interesting that Pat Nevin himself claims he played in worse with us winning 1-0 at the time , Billy Davies looks like he is going to explode and even remember this being featured on BBC breakfast news the next morning with John Boyle annoyed Anyway we won the rearranged game 2-1 which was an 8 game unbeaten run before christmas

Been in the cooper stand a few times not long after it first opened though always preferred the Hunter Stand, one game I was in the cooper I seem to recall an incident with Jim Leighton towards the end of a game when someone ran on

Loved this game despite the fact we missed out on Europe , the usual few drubbings from Rangers early on that season made this victory a good one Three things I remember is Spencer lifting up his shirt to show a message on his t-shirt The Fridge , at one point people were celebrating thinking Hibs were beating Hearts, only for it to be the opposite , and then the usual pitch invasion at the end , the media were of course giving the Rangers fans great credit at the time for not reacting to those nasty Motherwell taunts , Jim Delahunt in particular I recall

I enjoyed this one very much, went to high school with a Killie fan at the time who was starting to become annoying around this time Always going on about how great his team was in comparison to how rubbish we were, and how great their stadium that had just been renovated in comparison to Fir Park which looked stupid etc because all the stands were different sizes When we won 4-2 it actually felt like winning the lottery that day

One game I have been looking for , for a while now but unable to find it was a 2-1 midweek game against Celtic when Shaun Fagan and Faddy scored Also the 1-0 win against Rangers the same season

Another one from that era

Great choice, remember this game well

Absolute boring having no football this time of the year so what better time to watch old Well clips on you tube Came across this one earlier, think we should start a thread for fans favourite games of the past , or even some games which are less remembered but good to see classic old Well footage once again

True story from Andy's book , on his time at the Well

RIP Andy , we have been blessed with great goalies down the years and along with Andy there has been Sieb, John Ruddy, Darren Randolph, Ally Maxwell and Liam Kelly at present ain’t too bad either Got great memories of Andy, loved watching the Well at this time even though we could blow hot and cold at times, remember the cup tie against Hearts which was Andy’s debut, Fir Park was bouncing that night with at least 10,000 or so The save from Larsson was brilliant, also remember a 1-0 victory the season after with 10 men which Goram had a great game And of course a 2-0 victory against the Rangers last game of the season that almost had us in Europe and this game is almost forgotten about, the story about Andy being knocked back from the Fir Park club one night for not having a membership despite being club captain at the time will be remembered also

They look like they will be good , might get the Tam Forsyth one I got the Motherwell Collectables book by Matt Johnstone a few weeks ago, certainly was not disappointed Made for a brilliant read

Andy Dibble set to be the new goalkeeping coach according to Daily Record website

I am pleased with the new kit, sure it will look good on the park and something a bit different to recent seasons

Copied and pasted from a different website which I seen earlier, update on Andy Goram, sadly there is sick people who support a certain team in Glasgow who seem to be taking great delight from this Just a wee update.. As you know I took a wee turn for the worst Tuesday… I had another scan Tuesday and unfortunately the cancer has spread far to quickly for normal… The situation is that now the surgeon has let me know I just have between 4 - 6 weeks to go, There’s lymph nodes in my neck that has been attacked by the cancer and I’m now going to the Beatson Monday to get a protector fitted ready for a session of radiotherapy on Tuesday to blitz it…. If been told that later next week I’ve got the first bed available for St Andrews Hospice to spend some quality time with my Son Danny and grandkids and of course my family…..and friends.. It’s a quality place with the best facilities and medication… Tbh it’s the best place to be for my treatment and for R+R so I’m looking forward to getting there.. Thanks again for all your love and support and you really have no idea how much it means to me

Horrible news about Andy Goram My favourite memory of Goram in a Well Jersey was the save from Larsson at Celtic Park in a 1-0 defeat in 1999 Think it was Archie McPherson who claimed it was similar to Gordon Banks save in the World Cup

Was speaking to one of their fans yesterday about the potential signing, his response was he hopes Kipre doesnt end up at Ibrox as from what he remembers he was a dirty dirty player My response was he is too good for that mob anyway There will no doubt be other offers for Kipre
