    Correct, was at Barrow last week watching them play Orient, in League 2 great day out ex well player Craig Clay still looks a decent player for Orient. Each to their own and for me that's not going to international games, still loads of grounds to visit.

    Barrow v Leyton Orient watching Craig Clay sounds utterly horrendous

    Nah I am as much a proud scot as anyone but I never could get into all the Tartan Army and "were on the march with Ally,s army " stuff  never been to a Scotland game in my life and have seen nothing in the current team that would encourage me to go and see them.

    I put my efforts into following Motherwell and finishing off my bucket list item to watch a match at every league ground in the UK, all 134 of them, probably about 30% complete now.

    Nothing to encourage you to watch Scotland play a few miles up the road but your happy enough to travel the long and winding road to absolute footballing hotshots like Crewe, Rochdale and Grimsby...ffs what a cracker

  3. The midfield was an absolute shambles, Slattery completely isolated to the point I felt sorry for him. Goss gets a bit of a free pass due to being his 1st start but when are we going to realise that all the effort and running from Grimmy just isn't good enough?

     

    Worst part of the day for me was Motherwell fans clapping a Celtic goal...what in the name of fuck was that all about?

    That’s why I made a point of saying no disrespect to the genuine Scotland fans who follow Scotland in order to support the team first and foremost.

    The ones I was having a dig at are those who only seem to be interested in going along for the piss up (nae Scotland, nae party etc) then tell everyone that was just great to be there. In my opinion that is a big, big part of Scotland’s problem when it comes to sport in general. There’s too much emphasis on celebrating failure and too many are more interested in booze more than anything else. Is it any wonder then that Scotland don’t qualify for tournaments/perform well at that level in that case?

    Were you at any of Motherwells European adventures? Plenty on them falling foul on the 'he's only here for the party and booze' rule that you invoke.

    David Turnbull deserves our respect.

    Anyone booing him is an idiot.

    Unless of course he scores the winner and celebrates down the East Stand side like Karl Higgingbottom. But we all know he has far too much class for that.......

    Fuck respecting anyone in that kit

    Turnbull should get a standing ovation, the respect he showed in signing an extension put those new seats and make overs in the stands.

    A standing ovation? He signed for Celtic...a club literally like no other. He'll get the fingers fae me and a mouthfy of abuse if he's lucky.

    To be fair, Im not on Twitter so a bit of context might have been useful.

    Totally agree he shouldnt be tweeting about other teams.

    Thats a discipline issue

    Hopefully GA will deal with it.

    The context is he is a halfwit

    I would love to see Charlie Aitken be enrolled next time around. I know a lot of you on here will not have seen Charlie play, but he was an inspirational player, who helped those around him.

    As I say maybe next time.

    Best player to have ever played for the 'well according to my papa  who would be 100 this year

    I’m not sure what it is but it looks horrific. It certainly never came out of our studio. It would be good to see a clearer image of the graphic. 

    Take a look at the Motherwell & District Coat of Arms...how it ended up on the clubs badge though, who knows

  10. Not had that feeling at a game of football in what feels like years...I was still buzzing hours after the kick off, watched the game on Alba and watched the Sportscene highlights. The wife wasn't impressed at all.

     

    It was said on sportscene that the sheep had 75% possession and it certainly felt that way. This looks like a clear instruction from the manager to allow the other team to have the ball, let them huff and puff and we attempt to hit on the counter. It was evident against both Hibs and Dundee too  At times its really difficult to watch, but who can argue with the results?

     

    The defence was essentially 4 centre backs today, before Lamie came onto make it 5, and that is going to be difficult for any side to breakdown. Ojala was excellent, Solholm looks like a good capture and the two full backs did fine. While a special mention for Kelly, who done everything asked of him...to me, he looks like a keeper that shouldn't be at our level.

     

    Midfield still really concerns me though, Slattery looks a top player but at times yesterday it looked like he was in Midfield himself with both OHara and Grimshaw, really chasing shadows and getting dragged out of position. Hopefully Goss, when up to speed will be the one to come in and help Slattery out.

     

    Up front, I've said it for ages now but Watt is an absolute joy of a player, his work rate is 2nd to none in our team and he can play football as well, he is brilliant and we need to tie him down. His partnership with crazy Dutch bastard could be quite something. I'm yet to be convinced by Woolery, he has physique and pace but I'm not seeing that fitba brain that I like fitba players to have.

     

    I'm in two minds on the shithousery thing...on one hand I quite enjoyed how obvious Alexander made it by whipping off his 3 forwards for 3 big units to help us defend against a side with no real know-how of how to break us done, but the constant dropping to the floor at the slightest touch and grabbing the ball on the way down is really tiresome, both teams were at it and the referee failed to nip it in the bud.

     

    A few other things; when the son of Derek Ferguson isn't getting pelters from the East Stand because he is so far down the bawbag list, you know that you are up against a team of fannies. How good was it to be so comfortable in beating a team with top-class arseholes like Gallagher and Brown in their ranks?...a new one to add to the list is the little bawbag right  back, who seemed to take great delight in trying to rile up our fans when his own team were getting beat.

     

    Tony Watt taking the Harry Hunt out of Brown was a joy to see...as was the Aberdeen fans punching each other about the South Stand. An absolutely brilliant 90 mins at Fir Park.

    Not really their patter lots of non nationalist use that and a few others when referring to her. 

    I'd be amazed if it wasn't a h*n that managed to dream that bit of patter up...considering how pish it is.

     

    And for the record, I sat behind the bold steelboy at the last match and he was like a new man...didnae moan once
