Loan signing imminent

See he never said they'd beat them , could easily be Keevins so he could, there is no comparison to be had, hearts and Utd should probably be beating us, on budgets , squad size etc

Hutchinson

Glad to see some perspective arriving in the thread, everything about Panathanaikos is bigger and stronger and costs more than Motherwell can even dream off the fact we were playing them is the achievement, I'm sure a few more will mention the heat, it should not be forgotten how much a factor it contributed, by the second half our players had flagged and the silly errors crept in. I think we gave a good account of ourselves 5-0 aggregate flatters Pana, but they were superior thanks to the cash they have to spend. No point in slating our players, most of them earned the right to play tonight last season

Motherwell fC twitter posted that Pana are running buses from their old ground to the olympic stadium from 630 local time and encourage as many wellfans to go along and use them, old ground is out near the wee dram is it not?

after 2am and it feels a wee bit cooler , maybe mid 20's cannae see a temp sign anywhere, good laugh at wee dram, maybe only a few hundred wellfans, tops in there though, city is pretty huge and wellfans spread throughout. EDIT: feking 28'C at 2am

Left the wee dram and walked down hill to left, Athens punters like a late drink and it's eventually cooling down must be just under 30'c now after 1am , heat is mental

I'd love us to have a go at them from the off, the heat here is unreal, well over 30'C at 10pm last night and looking the same for the rest of the week, today there is a breeze blowing which is helping a little but if its still conditions inside the stadium our players will be suffering so if we cant get in front and take a boost from it, I think Pana will just play us out in the conditions and probably kill us off if the players do get fatigued

They normally just print out a ticket fold it in half and stick it in a pre printed season book , so you should get it as you hand the payment over, but give it some time as it might be busy and you have forms to fill in

Just time for a quick pint in spoons at Edinburgh airport then down to heathrow , hopefully be a few Wellfans there as I ain't seen any here yet!

yesterday? no where near it, Think I read that the stand we were in holds 1700'ish, lucky if we had just over a third off that up, home stands were near as anything full EDIt just read teh end of the post above which I had gave up on, aye it'll be even further away from a sell out next Saturday

Ramsden or Hutch for doing their job

WTF? lay off the Whisky big man

thought pana had less than 200 at Fir Park thanks for the info wembley-13 nearly gave you positive rep until you said we will lose

Cheers Jay, I'll get a chance on Sunday to plan it, but even that puts mind at rest that it'll be straight forward and reasonably cheap

was on last night to do a booking gave myself a budget of £500 but as I was picking hotels all the prices jumped £2-300 above that, was gutted , in a self harming way I looked in this thread earlier and saw maplewells post give eachother a wave from your respective pools then lucky bastards which made me go and look again at expedia and ended up booking Monday to Friday Edinburgh to Athens via Heathrow 4 nights in the novotel less than £500 BA all the way Cheers MapleWell EDIT: anybody getting into athens around 17:40 on Monday know the buses and stuff into town?

and a significant amount of damaged seats in the East stand, still plenty of wallopers in our support then

yeah thought it might be, as the flag was up real quick but I'm convinced the first was deliberate handball on the deck , the whole East corner of the Coop reacted instantly with the shout

Don't think I've seen anyone mention our two penalty claims in the second half First was a stonewaller IMHO , pana player on the deck in the box extended his arm to block the ball into the 6yd box Second claim, the offside flag was up when the pana player handled, couldn't tell from the cooper if it was offside but the linesman defo had flag up before hand

Thought Lasley would walk this, as I thought he was a stand out amongst some very good performances, didnt think he had a game like that left in him, delighted he did and hope to see many more pleased that a couple of the others are in the running though, bodes well for the season if we step on from it.

PM Frazzle I read somewhere he was looking for one

Dee, any chance you guys could create a facebook post like your first on here for us to share with friends who are going to the game or ask the club to post one like it, I know three or four groups who dont do steelmenonline but will be in the East edit: and give us a link on here for us to find it! cant believe Im asking for facebook feckin hate it, 'Mon the Twitter!

maybe its a mono broadcast as its not recorded or processed to stereo, due to the technology, cost not sure that commentary should be stereo in any case,although having it cover all the speaker channels should be ok

the problem with not following a set out process is it fails too many people, Ive got a mail to one of the commercial staff, asking to be put on the charter list from back in June, but never got put on it. which I can accept as I never followed up the official email address but then you argue those that showed initiative should get the places anyone willing to pay up deposits should be taken, the club were still adding to the reserve list the day before it was announced full 'as people always drop out, when it comes to paying', but then as my details were scribbled down on the back of the till log doubt they would have made it to the real list anyway that cant be a good scenario for the club as it generates additional workload going through unconfirmed lists, trying to contact people etc or for those on the list who can never be sure if they are even on it. on that I know the club are under staffed and over worked at times like this so can accept mistakes, but we've known about Europe for months we've known the 4 potential opposition teams for months, meaning a charter was all but guaranteed to happen, why wait until after the draw to start the official list, when everyone is overworked Letting people down in this manner, where they have followed the clubs request but have no early indication that they might not be high enough up the list to have any chance of getting the flights, means some will not consider the charter in the future

bang out of order
