That many had left I had to go down 3 rows for cuddle 🤣 Oh wait, "I landed 3 rows down" that was it.
I was hanging about at the top of the East Stand stairs after the penalty miss ‘just in case’ along with loads of other and was right in line with that stunner. Wild celebrations ensued.
The best thing about it for me is that had I been driving that night I would have probably have been gone at 6-2 like so many others but I had arranged to meet my Dad in the New Century for a pint after the game so stayed to the end. And on this occasion it paid off!
-
Still annoys me that we didn’t win that game, we should have and we would probably have deserved to given the way we fought back. Absolutely mental night, 6-2 down and the home stands emptying to jumping about daft cuddling strangers when Jutkiewicz slammed that equaliser in at the death.

Well I would have thought that people would be able to read the slight tone of sarcasm in my reference to “faithers of the support” but I’ll explain anyway.
By that term I’m not referring to people who have supported the club and or attended matches regularly for 40/50/60 plus years, it’s more the types who try and tell others how to support the club that I take issue with.
For example “I can lecture you because I always think we’re gonna win and you don’t” to paraphrase a poster earlier on. Really? Come on! It doesn’t matter to me if you’ve followed the club since 1950 or since last Tuesday evening once Reporting Scotland had finished, don’t tell me how I should or shouldn’t support the club when I have put in plenty of years and invested time, effort and money supporting Motherwell FC.
Obviously I respect the guys/girls who have faithfully and loyally supported the club for many, many years going back to well before my time. Good on them.
In this environment, an online message forum and the same applies to social media there just seems to be this element who rather than discussing the team, the club and everything relating to it are more interested in making cheap, petty remarks to other supporters and going down the ‘one-upmanship’ route and THAT is the type I’m referring to when talking about “faithers of the support”.

Well you can take a lecture from me, I have been going to Fir Park for the last 60+ years and have always thought my team would win, whereas you always predict a defeat, doom and gloom and the end of the world, so, put a sock it!!!!!!!!!.
Good for you, do you want a medal?
I don’t take lectures from anyone, so you can just pipe down.

I've been to more games than you, travelled more miles to watch games than you (3000 this season alone) and, as a MFC TV subscriber, get to watch every second of every match home and away (and rewatch multiple times if the mood takes me).
You have literally no idea how many times I've been to Fir Park this season, or what away games I've been to this year or any other year.
So by those self-composed metrics, my opinion is much more valuable than yours and you need to get off your high horse until you've seen more matches live than me?
Or perhaps trying to measure whether someone's opinion is worth more than others is pointless BS and we're better focusing on discussing footballing matters on a football discussion board and leaving the sanctimony to the OF fans.
I know that I’ve been to more Motherwell games in person than you have in the last decade. I don’t miss home games, you live on the other side of the Atlantic, it doesn’t take a genius.
I also get the impression from your contributions on here that you are an arrogant, condescending and extremely boring individual who loves an argument. You very rarely discuss the team, the players, games themselves. Instead you seem to prefer to fire cheap, crass and annoying remarks to posters who regularly attend games. Why, only you will know, but I think it’s pathetic.
Therefore I will take no lectures from you on supporting Motherwell.

I stopped commenting on games I don't go to a while back, which is most away matches.
Not saying everyone should do that but I just don't feel comfortable having an opinion on something I didn't actually see for myself.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with commenting on or offering an opinion on a game you weren’t personally at, it’s more the types who like to get arsey and snide with match going fans over opinions and views expressed that they don’t like. We’ve seen it on here for years, weeyin, Spiderpig, SteveDiggle, eddiemunster…. all big mooths trying to lecture and pontificate fans who have been at Fir Park more than the four of them put together in recent times.

People don't go to games for lots of reasons. I don't think it makes them any less of a fan.
I didn’t say that it did, I was merely making an observation that the more vocal “faithers” of the support, particularly on here tend to be the ones who don’t actually attend games. I’m not interested in the reasons they don’t or can’t go, that’s their business, but it’s a bit rich when these types get all sanctimonious and start riding about on their high horses with fans who actually were at the game.

Enjoyed that. Nice to see the win has brought out the sanctimonious pricks as well.
That probably weren’t even at the game. There’s little more sanctimonious and mouthy than an armchair/firestick Motherwell fan trying to take the moral high ground with match going fans.

Brilliant semi final, Completely wasted by the final.
One of the worst experiences I’ve had a game, awful performance and to make matters worse our end was populated by H@ns who got tickets. Tried to make the whole final into the Davie Cooper final which should never have happened.Why should it never have happened? Davie Cooper played for both clubs and was a hero to both sets of fans (well, most of our fans as I suspect there’s a few who are no doubt uneasy about calling him a ‘Well hero due to their “dislike of all things Rangers”
) and that Final was just a few days before the tenth anniversary of his death. The game itself was horrible for us but the Cooper tributes were spot on.

Richie Foran was pish. One of the most overrated players we’ve ever had and a lazy bastard into the bargain. Liked a lock-in though and had all the burds in Starka and the Mega Bar swooning over him back in the day so he got a free pass with the mugs in our fanbase who see the players as their pals.

Deservedly in front at the break.
Nicholson’s goal was an absolute peach and shows the class that made him a standout as a youngster at Hearts.

If results stay same then Ross co and st Johnstone need to win 3 of last 4 to overtake us and us to get no points at all. They also have still to play each other. We will be fine
Yeah that’s what I meant saying that County losing is good for us. I don’t think we’ll be relegated and I didn’t think we’d be relegated before today, but had County gained any more ground on us after another poor result and performance for us then it would have made things twitchy.
-
At least Ross County are losing otherwise this could get very uncomfortable for us at the bottom.
The sooner this season is in the bin the better.
-
Can’t see anything other than another defeat today.
3-1 home win.

I'd like to think we've got one win left in us
You would certainly hope that we could beat Livingston at home at least. Though the rest of the potential fixtures, away to Hibs and Ross County eg. then you would be thinking that a draw in both games is the most likely outcome.

We'll likely draw our way to safety and finish on 42 points.
Yip going by our form this season that seems the most likely.
-
Super strike from Blaney at the death but ultimately it means nothing. Another mediocre result in a mediocre season and keeping with the tradition of the campaign we score a last minute equaliser to steal a draw, which still isnt good enough.
-
Think we’ll lose today.
Can see it being a high scoring game but not confident of getting anything.
3-4

Ha, Ha ,Ha. Keep it up.
I’m happy that we won, despite it looking for all the world that we were dead and buried when we went 2-0 down. Aren’t you?

Pathetic stuff.

This performance is worse than last week
No doubt the state of the pitch will be put forward as an excuse but there’s no getting away from the fact that this is dismal stuff. We’re not out of relegation danger by any means.

He's still a Hearts player so we can pull the deal. You can't have a guy like that in the team, he's in the Butcher/Obika zone.
Of course we can. The deal was that he was on loan here until the end of the season with the option of us signing him permanently from the summer onwards. We don’t have to take that option up and if he’s not fit enough then you’d certainly like to hope that we wouldn’t. I suspect he will retire from playing once this season is over anyway so it won’t be an issue.

Chronic stuff again and another cheap preventable goal given away.

Maybe I’m not very good at wit then! In any case sarcasm isn’t really a joke anyway, more a veiled insult saying the opposite of what you really mean.
