steelman1991

We lost the game because they were the better the team - far more fluid, composed and in Hayes, had the best player on the park by a country mile, closely followed by Cox ? (6) who bossed the midfield - so your quite right your opinion is bollox. Their direct running and trickery (Hayes, McKay and to a lesser extent Tade) caused us far more problems, than our oh so predictable hump to Higdon (no blame on the big fella, though it is the obvious 'out' ball, when others run out of ideas - ie all the time) and then.....................................nothing. Was fairly obvious very early on in the game, yet McCall persevered for 71 minutes before trying to change it. Nothing quite like stating the obvious - of course we lost because of a good strike, but he tried and was rewarded. How many saves did the ICT keeper make, very few - BBC stats show 2 shots on target in 90 mins FFS - I could actually only remember Murphy's in the first half. Says it all for me I'm afraid. What worries me more is our inability to even make chances, to me that should concern McCall more than anything. Shot shy and shite at the moment I'm afraid.

Yeah we played Falkirk at this stage in '91

Sad news indeed - my thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Was that the dyslexic battalion, or the ones who make the porridge?

That's great news. Hope he has a quick recovery

Born and raised in 'God's Country' - Harthill for the unintiated. Dad was a huge 'well fan and followed happily in his footsteps. Went to Caldervale High School, Airdrie for 5 long years - you guys who only had the OF bigots to contend with were lucky (I had them and the shite of Lanarkshire to deal with) - but I held my own - even though my PE teacher was the Airdrie captain at the time - Derek Whiteford. Met him many times after that in the East Stand (sure he was a closet 'well fan). Carried out missionary work in various places throughout Central Scotland and beyond spreading the 'Well gospel - there's even one or two converts up in Elgin beside Special (they used to drink in the Thunderton or High Spirits - if the pubs are still there big fella). Now settled in Whitburn and still trying to preach the gospel according to the steelmen at every opportunity.

The incident in the DC happened just as we were taking our seats - minutes into the game. Can only re-iterate what others have said that the paramedics and medical staff worked on him for what seemed an eternity. CPR and defib throughout. The staff in the box immediately behind pulled down the blinds and moved the kids to another area - these were the young 'well kids who were on the park at half-time. Hope all is well. Anyone know anything further.

Agreed fatcalf and the reason why I posted - it ain't gonna happen though.

Whatever it takes for the club not to be disadvantaged.

Great result - the band wagon keeps rolling along.

Me too

F....s sake Al, the board moved me to accomodate the bigot brothers, now you want me to move to Strathy Park just because I'm a grumpy/moany bastard You've taken that too far Just noticed your location - take it your on Missionary work along with AndyP

It was the 'Gorgie' in my day fatcalf. Penned unless I'm wrong by our own SpecialAKA

Now that will be a clever trick - 9 points from the next 3 games (the Hibs game is in the League Cup).

IMO No thanks

Sure it does - shit it when his wage demands were known - simples

Didn't think it was him that was involved with that Andy - was it not John Clifford (another ex-player, though he spent most of his time in the reserves - in fact maybe all his time)

Thats a lot of pies - even for Flow

Thought the defender was Sammy Hyppia?

You got a source to go with that comment? Otherwise its no more fact than the posts suggesting he might come back.

Good signing. Always thought he was very like Sutton but a little more mobile.

Well done to everyone involved - bit down this morning but that fair cheered me up - here's to next year - though I'm sure I said that in 1991 as well.

That's it - Cup Final weekend begins here and now - off to GAZZAMFC68's for a party and sleep over C'mon 'well lets just do this See you all tomorrow.

You coming on the buses from FP tomorrow - big chum - if so we can raise a glass to Jock and my dad in the Cooper.

You studying medicine by any chance?
