Porteous off for Hivs - LOL Karma's a bitch

I reckon Sam Goodwin’s against Patrick Thistle was quicker [emoji2357] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry mate you can't guarantee anything. I know you probably weren't around in the early 90's when we were challenging for the title and our average attendance barely rose beyond 7K. I appreciate that is a significant increase compared to today's average, but we had a larger latent support at that time too. We couldn't even sell-out a Champions League game recently. We just don't have the support, or interest I think you think we have - success or not. I used to watch in awe, when Aberdeen used to make cup finals and challenge - and win league titles - and used to tell my dad, how big a support we would have if we had similar success. His comment "you're aff your heid" - sadly he was right. The only way I think what your suggesting would happen would be with a healthy sustained period of success/challenges and that ain't gonna happen, with or without the "Old Firm".

Sorry this is "Hans Christian Anderson" territory. These fans who won't travel to England, won't suddenly pitch up at Fir Park, Tynecastle, Rugby Park or wherever. The only clubs likely to see an increase in crowds are those that have decent fanbases - the city clubs. We are what we are and no "Old Firm" isn't gonna make us any bigger, either in stature or support. Last cup final I think proved that. Even with day trippers, wives and girlfriends - we barely shifted 12K.

KVV purely for going toe-to-toe with Gallagher after the goal [emoji2956] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'de even challenge that assertion. When he arrived Big Eck commented that "Motherwell fans haven't seen anything like him before" - boy was he right - dugshite!!!!

Was only a matter of time

Couldnt keep fuckin hens out a close

It's like watching a game down the park on a Sunday - dreadful

Donnelly is going to cost us a goal

Actually enjoying the game - not the result obviously. Plenty time - there’s goals in this game yet, for us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been trying to think who Tierney reminded me of - "The Sheriff" (Henrik Ojama).

You're right it was a daisy cutter into what used to be the "away" end. Goodwin's sending off I'm sure was for taking out someone right in front of the tunnel, so yeah definitely nothing to do with the goalie.

That's my recollection too - defo a Monday night. Clearly I'm old too. Need to dig out the history books.

Not sure who’s memory is playing tricks - yours or mine [emoji23]. Definitely won 1-0 at Firhill (Willie Watson header), but think the game finished 0-0 at Fir Park. Don’t remember a leg break, but I’m sure Sam Goodwin got sent off after about a minute. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wee man's just scored an absolute peach.

Wee Allan Campbell on Sky just now.

The "Prince of Orange" and Lafferty - could there be a better match

Happy New Year - Motherwell FC League Winners 2022 has a certain ring to it.

Is this because of the new Covid rules?

Nice factual reporting there. Martindale wasn't the manager when Kelly left for QPR

If true, keep him for the remaining months of his contract and sit him on the bench or the stand.

Yes

What has Charlie Adam been up to? Thought it was Cummings that was being disciplined?

RIP Willie - met him a few times through my Dad's cousin - Jim "Scoop" Rodger, another Shotts man and fine journalist. Was a proper gent to this young 'well fan - well I was young when I met him.
