  1. anyway what I came onto say: although not sure its the correct thread for it Aberdeen released their financial accounts during the night ( in a stealthy manner?) Losses up to £1.44 million Turnover down £0.5million and wages up to a massive £5.25million wages that shadow our clubs entire turnover, Staggering, in no way a measure of why we lost the cup game, but a measure of how well, our club has done, to out perform them over the last few years
  2. come one Nian, you've clearly hit a downer in life, if supporting Motherwell, can be classed as a current unfortunate period. and yes, to you, some posts might look like reacting to 'any' negative post, but step back, most of the people you spend too much time going round social media slating, actually do criticise component parts of the ups and downs. what most object to is the mass hysteria following a couple of defeats or a couple of signings that appear to be not working, or even be it , a lull in the undoubted successful period in the clubs history that is the last 7 years. if some of the posters would just back of, from the need to slate everything and exaggerate the problems, then perhaps others would back of, trying to point that out , by trying to counter it with reminders of all things positive well4europe has some decent points in amongst his posts but has repeatedly said the team didn't try on Wednesday and we created almost no chances, to me that's just Bullshit, and not based on any rational view but through a blinkered view post match with some anger and hurt that comes with a loss, the over dramatics , then rile others as much as you seem to get riled, by positive outlooks. in a league competition , you have to compare to whats happening to the competition around you, I'd say on a whole, the current regime is doing not too bad, with the resources available Cup defeats hurt, but the team and management did try to win it, came up short against a better team, tough as it is to accept, nae point isolating it as a measure of where the cub is at present
  3. I know that, but imagine the explosion of grief and urine soaked underwear. was gonna say on here, but with the recent additions of many Motherwell social media platforms I'd say, the much lambasted Steelmenonline actually has more of a balance to it than many platforms
  4. I'd love it to be Stevie Woods, just for the rich pickings
  5. going for our fifth straight home win in the league on Sunday, for the first time in a couple of years ,and even then that was one of our best seasons ever finishing third to the old firm. too many now thinking they are entitled to something better than that , even though that's still above ranking. only made the second half on Wednesday and it was fascinating stuff, with wave after wave of attack, from both wings, all the folk that are saying we didn't try are clearly distracted by the need to feel hard done by, sure there were plenty of flaws like the midfield not getting close enough to support second chances etc. and Defence slipping for the first. but me and my mate and the kids were out our seats more than ten times in those 45mins, with chances and great moves with skills and trickery, driving us into the box, loads of corners and a fair few chances, including hitting the woodwork, near misses and last ditch blocks. Aberdeen were tremendous in defence, we weren't good enough to unlock them, get over it, it happens. Last Sundays game was a write off for other reasons, but with good intent, it didn't work (again) so hopefully McCall has learned that his personal choice of fucking about prior to a bigger game never works and doesn't try it again if we ever have an option. Will be quite pleased if we set up this Sunday as we did starting the second half v Aberdeen, maybe with Vigurs for Lawson. be even more pleased if Anier does as he's told and stays in the middle, and despite enjoying both wingers trickery, I'd like them to vary it at times, and push up to receive the ball instead of always dropping back. but still for guys that don't really have that much experience of those roles, I'm just pleased to see them developing and delivering good chances and more importantly scaring the shit out of fullbacks
  6. Airdrie looking for a new manager, any of our licensed coaches be interested in the step down
  7. your £22 and many others likely as well, I'll not be there, looking at the schedule a while back the decision was always to sacrifice this one to pick up on a couple of others marginal argument that of all the deals the Alba deal is the preferable, Limited disruption to weekend match scheduling but with decent exposure of the product. shame for St Johnstone, as we've had a good wee crowd up there a few times and an enjoyable few visits. still reckon Sunday 16:05 is preferable to 12:30 the Sunday after at home vs Hibs
  8. the something you missed might be the last couple of decades? that's just how it is these days TV companies pay money and show games live to suit their schedule
  9. The more things change, the more they........move beyond? Lots of things changing, too many at times, been great picking up the fanzine type thing, over the years Got the latest edition, issue 98, through the mail today, just missed my train into town for a sesh, as I started reading it, instead of getting ready. its good no' too bad, and I'm looking forward to the last couple. be hoping for a Still Game style return with a Christmas special in the future years. but appreciate every issues as it is. Cheers MJ
  10. or roundabout 2002 Lehman and Faddy put us two up at Tynecastle, only to lose four from around 40minutes on, beat them 6-1 a month or so later at the Ark though...
  11. took the lead at Tynie a number of times and lost 1-4, 2-4 but not 3 up at halftime and lost from what I recall
  12. there's always benefit to having the club and players promoted in the press maybe, the more things change, then some of them stick.... Hopefully there is plenty speculation and chat in the media over the next few years for Zaine and others and plenty of press on how well former players do.......£££
  13. would we not have to subsidise around 40% of those gate prices for each season ticket holder?
  14. £17 at our place for a concession for them as visiting fans, £25 for adult Every club are ripping the heart out it
  15. TV companies are blinkered by viewing figures only, And like it or not Edinburgh derby will have more viewers, Changing slightly though as, you now have former leech like figures such as Hugh keevins talking up all the other matches he's attended as worthwhile viewing, sadly for every one that has realised they were part of the problem you have two like chic young and mark guidi still sticking the boot in and harking on about sevco
  16. All part of the transition from wee club to big club, need the exposure and the media to keep the stories ticking over.
  17. Now standard practice a Tannadice for us, nothing new Don't worry, about atmosphere, United pipe in applause through the PA system to make it less morgue like As for price, We screw more out visiting fans and PATG punters in the Cooper and O'Donnell stands,
  18. Amberbam you got an personal connection, your post read like a relative rather than general fan, not that it matters really Game just finished at the creamery, a two nil victory over St Mirren, Dominic Thomas scoring then setting up Moore Ainsworth getting game time, and Ross Stewart getting praise in goals
  19. No flares were in the stadium, flares are dangerous HEAVY HANDS EMPTY STANDS
  20. How much would it cost to decorate a two bedroom flat?
  21. A lager pump/chiller doesn't take up much space, the barrels might Chiller under counters at kiosks, barrels in some dead space under pie ovens or the like 8ft high cheap panels along the railings behind the last row of seats in each section That would cover the basics Do I see it happening? Probably not The club can't even make the cooper a decent option pre/post match for those of us looking at options

    his one great vision was to tell Sky to GTF, or is that a myth.....

    Jim Gannon

    Is that Yassin Moutaouakil on the phones?
  24. had high hopes for him this season, delighted with Aniers contribution but effectively blocked any hope Lee had of a breakthrough barring injury any bids trying to rob us or Scottish clubs yet?
