if my old memory serves me right we played Celtic 3 times in 8 days in 1991 when we went onto win the cup. Beat them in the league at Parkhead drew semi final and won the replay.

We will get the West end they've got to keep up their tribal Rangers End Celtic End pish

That should take two minutes , they ask Motherwell how many we want we say 20,000 and set a date by which those 20,000 need sold, say 4 days before the final. What Motherwell do not sell by that date are automatically passed over to Celtic. Its only Scottish Football that could make a meal of a simple concept such as the Hibs allocation

If the crowd was 44,000 and Rangers had sold 38,000 that means our sales amounted to just 6000 yet im sure I read we had 8500 sold

I certainly think Brendan Rodgers will play on it leading up to and during the game. Was just watching game again and Sutton mentioned retrospective action against Alves that would be a worry cos they might look at Moult too.

So many to choose from. John Spencer from half way line at St Johnstone, Stevie Kirk at Pittoidrie in SC ... but im going for Ainsworth to go 3-0 up at our hardest venue (Ibrox) in our most difficult season sheer joy from inside our own half a sweeping move of pure joy. Had that not been scored we might not have had yesterday to enjoy. Stevie Kirks Goal in the SC semi against Celtic nearly got it because I knew then Id see my team in the SC final for 1st time ever.

"Dry yer Nose"..... suck it up

oh i think it does, we inflicted real pain on them in the play offs now this. If you actually look back at 76 game, took me long time to accept it, and mists of time and folklore confuse it but yeah the penalty was woeful, we were still leading 2-1 with 10 mins to go and look at the horrendous defending, we beat ourselves that night.

it is very special moments like this you always have thoughts of loved ones who are no longer here to enjoy our happiness. Enjoy the night mate thats what your pal would want and expect.

Don't waste your time with streams and blockers or not Mobdro beats them all no add whatsoever just straight onto broadcasting channels

Well it's on BEIN Europe and BEIN in Australia but Mobdro would have got it anywhere

I expressed concerns about Dunne during the week and have to say I was wrong he had a good solid game, Kipre was awful but Moult gets my vote cos he got what counted.

Yeah but did the semi go to expectation or was it a disappointment

only two things concerns me today Dunne and the referee. Do we gamble and put Hammel on or play Dunne who has been an utter bombscare last couple of games and as always will the referee be swayed by the crowd. Other than those two slight concerns I could see us win.

Club have just announced they will sell some tickets at office from 9am to 11.30 am.

BEIN Tv is showing the game if you get that on you TV . If not download Mobdro if you have an android phone / device all sports channels are on that including BT sports "allegedly". There is an app in the play store but if you go direct to Mobdro site from your android device you'll get the latest version, apparently. You need to change setting on your phone to allow "device from unknown source" , apparently. Doesnt cause your device / devices any harm , apparently. The things you hear in the pub, apparently.

EXACTLY if we obsess about not losing the first goal we automatically stifle how we play.... play our game get in about them if we lose the first goal so fuck ..its not golden goal. We played like that in big games for decades and it generally gets us nowhere. Look at that list of semi finals the word lost appears far too often and I bet you a lot of those games we worries about losing the 1st goal.

The biggest mistake we made was assuming we were entitled to better than Willie McLean was achieving we sacked him when we were sitting mid table then employed a fuckin PE teacher as manager.....We also had an unsettled dressing room and there were jealousies over contracts as guys like Peter Marinello has subsequently confirmed

JPR Gordon was the referee who was subsequently struck off for accepting "gifts" Rangers must have given him a good bung that night.

I seriously think had the opposition had been anyone else we'd have sold 10,000 in a heartbeat. There is just too much history of complete capitulation to Rangers over the last 60 years, even to the shittiest Rangers teams you've ever seen. Just look at the 3-0 defeat at Ibrox in the league cup to a team that had been fucked into the lowest tiers and had assembled a team of donkeys. We were terrified of them that night and it rang out loud n clear from the last gasp clearance in the 1st minute of the game. I myself stopped going to Ibrox 25 years ago for that very reason and have never set foot in the place since, Remarkably for me I am confident this will be the time I see a Motherwell team dump Rangers out a cup. For decades we've had a succession of Managers who had their excuses prepared before their team set foot on the pitch against Rangers .. worst offenders being Butcher, McCall and McGhee... no surprise our biggest humpings against Rangers happened when they were in charge. For all his failings Barraclough wasnt remotely intimidated by Rangers and even if he was he hid it from the players and the fans, he knew their weaknesses and went about them instead of buming them up in the media for a week before the games. Robinson strikes me as exactly the same type he worries more about his own team than get intimidated by the opposition. The only way we will lose this one is if the officials decide to give Rangers a helping hand A Beautiful Sunday beckons.....

Awful Awful game, I have never seen a decent game there. The ball in the air most of the time. Big difference wed have lost that game in last few seasons. Dunne was dreadful, I thought McHugh was very ropy. Surprised the manager didnt make his subs earlier but end of the day dont give a flying fuck... on that surface all that matters is the result and we got it. Well done to everyone.

Likewise I was in the real danger zone that if you let it persist you walk away for good. I missed a number of games last season... first couple id make sure I could keep up with the score , next few I checked for full time results and there was actually one game I didnt know the score until Sunday lunchtime, I was so utterly disinterested.. I just couldnt stomach the utter dross we watched week in week out. I was watching guys who couldnt trap a bag of cement and couldnt pass 10 feet unobstructed. Our defence couldnt keep a pig out a close and all we heard in the media was how skint we were, nothing positive at all to latch onto. I renewed my season ticket for the 40th consecutive year under real duress. Robinsons early signings make me think twice and the fact he was offloading guys Id never let hold the jersey never mind wear it made me think twice. My god what a difference 4 months makes.. I know its early days and we will have our downs but at least we are getting some ups. I have been thoroughly entertained in every game so far (St Johnstone excluded cos I was in Rome) and even at Easter Road had we lost it I'd still have felt the team gave their all and was worth my time and money. I have despaired for nearly 40 yrs to have one of the "big Teams" humbled at Fir Park in a rip roaring cup tie... thinking Id never see it again. For the oldies, games like the 3-2 Scottish Cup tie against Celtic at Fir Park in the 70s , Tommy Coyne 1-0 against Celtic again at Fir Park in the cup in the 90s were fading into ancient history and I was always jealous watching teams who had absolute stonking cup games at home. All we've seemed to have is 20 / 30 years of abject Fir Park failure in the cups against the big teams. Right now its seems every miserable cloud we've had has been rolled back a bit and its fuckin magic. Thanks Mr Robinson ... and he never ever gets his excuses in early, like nearly ever other bugger in the job. ** and this will be the year that will let me go to my grave having seen Motherwell turf Rangers out a Cup

Likewise I saw him walking out and seemed to be OK , hope so. But hey its one he can talk about for years .. did the self same thing at Tynecastle when I was 18 and it was caught on Scotsport but but luckily for me nae youtube and social media in they days. If the lads got any sense he will just rip the pish outta himself wie it thats what I did...

Was pishing myself laughing when I saw the guy take a tumble but fair play to him straight back up to celebrate but i bet his back and arse must be sore this morning. Sadly for him hes now caught for eternity on youtube highlights.LOL

Move on Duds quickly in those days ?? really ....Stevie Woods?? 9 yrs the biggest dud on the planet Alex Burns dud first time round resigned and guess what a dud again.
