Huge 'well done to Emily - what an opportunity. Definitely something for the younger girl's to aspire to.

I thought that too - certainly it was his name which was mentioned - well Megerry - at the time of the chance - so might not have been.

Really pleased to see a Motherwell team so confident in possession and not resorting to the aimless punt. We are controlling the game, but our inability to defend corners and set-pieces might just be our undoing. There only chance when they hit the bar again from a corner.

It was only a matter of when, the press published this story. Here's to a speedy recovery Jim and all the very best, hope to see you at Fir Park for many a year to come.

Had a great time mate and good for him (though you really should have had a fatherly! (oops forgot you were a blue-nose) word of advice to him prior to this to warn him of the consequences of his fashion disaster - was all meant in good fun - as was the comment. If I find anything video wise, will let you know on this thread. All the best.

Wellfan29 - Wasn't getting at you for the post mate - just clarifying your 'apparently' comment.

? - you know something the rest of us don't

Nothing much at all after the initial hype - but would prefer it that way until the deals are signed - we as a club have probably been hurt more with media/agents alerting other interested parties of transfer targets than anyone else.

Crazy Diamond - thanks for the update I'm glad to hear that Mr Miller appears OK - though as you suggest what this might have done to him psychologically is anyones guess. Afraid I wouldn't have been so understanding over the incident - but good luck to him and all respect to him and his wishes. I know I keep dragging this up but did anything further take place at Wishaw after the drop-off. If it did then I hope that that action will be taken against the individual concerned as well - just that nothing seems to have been said about that. Can/Will action still be taken against these thugs - by way of banning orders, even though no charges are being brought?

Slane for me purely for his willingness to take control and use of the ball intelligently at every opportunity - think we may have unearthed one or two gems again - Forbes and Saunders (look as though they will come good as well, if we give them time) - mind you wasn't it Alan Hansen who said "you cannot win anything with kids", go Jim and just like Fergie lets prove him wrong.

Cheers, no point in speculating, no doubt will hear in the fullness of time what happened, just makes me sad to think that it all might have gone off again. I don't think I would have been quite so reasonable about pressing charges had I been involved, throw the book at them I say. If no charges are pressed, can the authorities still impose football banning orders, without a court case? Anyone in the know?

Fair do's mate - didn't know how close you were to the incident - didn't think for a minute that any punch had been thrown prior to the attack. Any news on the incident that happened when the bus arrived at Wishaw. By the way the bluetooth transfer was succesful - thanks - my nephew adores Star Wars and having got a new mobile for his birthday, now has a treasured Yoda ringtone as well. I was sitting directly in front of you. Yir - good to see that action is taken, we can't afford to sweep these type of things under the carpet. As a positive to all this doom and gloom I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organisers for making the trip as comfortable and enjoyable as it was - without the dedication and commitment of these individuals none of the rest of us would have had such an easy time getting to the game - thanks I for one certainly appreciate your efforts.

That's the worst of these types of incidents - stories are generated and opinions based on 'facts' (otherwise known as Chinese Whispers). The addition of alcohol dosen't help matters any either. Yes there is a certain sympathy with the 'Older' man, but unlike you I didn't see what actually happened to spark the incident, but was relying on 2nd hand stories - your comment, if true - and I have no reason to disbelieve you any more than I have to believe others I spoke to - it puts a slightly different slant on things, but still doesn't change my utter contempt for anyone willing to take this action against an 'old' man - no matter what the provocation might be.

Polomint did you happen to have a 'yoda' ringtone which you shared early in the journey . Please tell me this didn't happen at Wishaw - though the potential was there after the threats had been made on the return journey - if it has then I think the perpetrator should also receive some form of punishment - he is a well-known 'face' (having been married very publicly on the fir park playing surface some years ago). Names and addresses were given to bus organisers so a method of elimination should provide the necessary information to the club. Can anyone confirm what actually happened. Great result on the park last night - huge OG off it though

Nope not him Stall - but he was in Llanelli - saw him on the tele re-run this morning. EDIT - Just noticed Polomint beat me too it. Mate you were obviously on the same bus as me - where were you sitting?

I don't know the old fella personally, but I'm sure many on here would know him - he has travelled the length and breadth of the country following Motherwell for as many years as I can remember - he's instantly recognisable by his attire - a hooped "knitted" Claret and Amber jumper and matching tammy - really this took the edge off the day for me entirely.

Thanks for the kind words 'Jack' - it was amusing seeing those cars backed up at B&Q and I could just imagine some poor sod stuck up a ladder, waiting on the missus returning with the replacement tin of emulsion. Glad our march made a good impression especially on those of the 'oval' ball fraternity - had a great day.

Hear, hear - the locals couldn't have been more friendly, with the exception of some young ASBO candidates at the end of the tunnel on the entrance to the stadium. The young lad who was roundly booed during the march for wearing a h*n top looked totally bemused and looked as though he could have killed his father for making him wear it.

Both got home safe and sound - I was on the bus with both - got home around 5.00 am, agree with all sentiments - ban them immediately and withdraw season tickets - bang out of order and spoiled an otherwise great day - then to top it all the 'Uncle' of the two lads wanted to have a go on the bus home.

OK then - Tell the Sned he was shite - he certainly wasn't the worst we ever had - Derek Murray anyone? <span class="postcolor">And how about Bob Latchford or Ally Hunter for worst keeper?</span> Wish it had been 'Bob', unfortunately it was his brother Peter we got - Bob was a prolific centre forward with Everton in the day. If you're talking keepers John Fallon must be up there - as might 'The Girvan Lighthouse' - how he ever managed to play top-flight is beyond me.

He could have done that from his office in the tattiedome.

Good grief - a european trip without 'foghorn' - you not going to make it, or are you asking for someone else?

The games on Thursday - get yourself to Llanelli - never mind the telly - Part-timer

Well Boo Hoo for McGarry - that's a real sensible way to debate things and after such a good start too with your original post. I seem to be in the minority - certainly on this board - that feels that McGarry gets a raw deal - I agree with Wellfan1984 for the most part, though not for a minute do I think he is a shoe horn in for a starting place every week, but he certainly shows more enthusiasm, than some of the more established favourites of the vocal masses on this board - Hammell, DLS (the one trick pony - down the bye-line and 'open the gates') and Lasley. But to answer your first question in the original post - yes you are living in cloud cuckoo land and I'll no doubt wave back while travelling to Firhill, Almondvale (If its still open) et al (did it before and will no doubt do it again, if or when the time comes) - so I take it you wouldn't be going then (Glory Hunter).

That's it then that's the hitch - he watched us.
