[Official First Qualifying Round Thread]

A charter train would mean no alcohol on the way there or back. Trust me, the Welsh police will gladly pour your alcohol down a drain in front of you before you board the train.

[New Manager-who Would We Get?]

and as i said at the time where was our silence for antonio puerta? i don't want the guy as our manager but he should be allowed an opinion.

 

His opinion is worth nothing. Don't forget that Forest played Motherwell at Fir Park only five months before Phil's passing. Surely that should have given them more of a reason to participate.

[New Manager-who Would We Get?]

You've burst nobody's bubble. You would think discrediting him throughout various threads should be enough...

 

Gary himself revealed where his loyalties lie in an issue some seasons ago of either (I'm sure one of our resident stattos will concur) Waiting for the great leap forward or One Step Beyond.

 

Having known various members of his family and spoken to the man himself on occassion, I've never been under the impression he is anything other than Motherwell through and through.

 

 

I recall Gary saying in an interview that his hero at Fir Park was Vic Davidson, hence the reason Gary liked to wear the number 10 shirt.

Also, that would be an article I wrote in GLF where Gary sent a signed note to me confirming that he is a Well fan and not a closet h*n. Still got it somewhere in the house.

 

I'd still prefer Luc Nijholt though!

[New Manager-who Would We Get?]

I'd love to see Luc Nijholt in charge but if my head rules my heart then Craig Brown has the experience to guide us through the next few months. Not only that but he claims to be a Motherwell supporter, and an Accies fan, or anyone else from Lanarkshire.

Didn't score for Falkirk until 87/88 when he got seven including one against Well in a 3-0 win. Played alongside Brian Martin, Gordon Marshall, Ian MacLeod and the legendary Crawford Baptie at Falkirk.

 

And yes, quite ugly. See page 155 of Genge Fry and Jim Jeffrey's book of Well players! Wee Quasie indeed.

[Vs Kilmarnock]

Is this paint dry yet?

[Amazing Story From The Past...if True!]

I heard that before davie cooper signed for rangers we sent a scout to clydebank to watch him and he came back saying he was pish and didnt have a left foot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wonder what that scouts doing now eh?

 

 

Pretty sure Ian St John tried to sign him up before Clydebank but Motherwell wouldn't pay a (pitiful) signing on fee.

[Vs Falkirk]

According to the Sunday Herald the game lasted only 60 minutes!

 

"Falkirk's Darren Barr, leading with his arm, although surely without malice, caught and concussed Hammell in his own box. While the home support screamed for a card, or perhaps a gibbet, Hammell was in no condition to hear anything, or continue. The referee waved on the stretcher and then blew for time."

 

Most reports mention how physical Falkirk were and some mention that they could or should have had two players sent off. John Hughes has said that's how his team is going to play from now on. God help football.

[Last Time We Were 3 Up Away From Home At H/t In Spl]

The one i can remember was around 76 season 3-1 up at h/t against dundee at dens went on to win 6-3 pettigrew hatrick

 

Pettigrew (4), Taylor (2)

[V's Dundee Utd]

First Motherwell game I ever went to at Fir Park was a 4 - 0 victory against Dundee Utd.

 

1976/77 I presume and a real rarity in those days...a Sunday game. Got a feeling we might have played in white that day as well.

[V's Dundee Utd]

nice drive from the edge of the box

[Why Do We Hate Hearts So Much?]

There's always been a bit of needle as long as I can ever remember it. i remember the picture in the paper of a fan getting carted out from the wire fence in the shed (before it was the east stand) with a lovely dart embedded in his schnozzle! the fan thing has always been a bit 'tasty' - in fact its absolutely nothing now, compared to what it used to be.

 

Pretty sure that was Hibs

[Ask The Captain]

Ask him if he's Rangers Motherwell or Celtic Motherwell?

 

And also if he has a spare ticket for Inverurie?
