  1. Only just found out score. Been on the bus back from my folks in Dumfries and my phone was dead so couldn't listen.
  2. Not read thread, but in reference to the O/P. I raised this very point after the Hibs/Inverness game. Retain the ball vs giving it away. Not rocket science Also, by passing it around, the opposition get drawn to the ball, move out of position etc.

    Motherwell V Hibs

    Coke has lacked sharpness in the last few games, good player (unfortunately no pace) but may need arest. BTW there were people around me giving dogs abuse to Forbes for playing it sideways/backward... Thought that was bang out of order. There were no passes upfied on, he retained the ball rather than just hoofing it and giving the ball away anyway. The boy is 18/19 and hurling abuse at him after a handful of first team starts (in which he is our top scorer) seems to me slightly counter-productive.

    Motherwell V Hibs

    The Zemamma incident will be in the match report as the ref picked up the "missle" . Looked a bottle top to me rather than a coin, shouldn't have been thrown though even if Zemamma was being a tit and should have been boked for inciting the crowd. Re the game, the winning streak had to come to an end at some point, its how we pick ourself up that matters. Re Conroy, I think we were a victim of Rangers' geetin last week. He went 180 and didnt book players who should have been etc. To be fair he couldn't really win. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards!!
  5. Pretty much it would seem. A stand full of Rangers fans would be a different proposition to them than a section of < 100 'well fans. The thing is though, you would expect the police could probably, at the very least, make recommendations to Rangers/SFA etc about the conduct of the fans. Edit: thats when you start getting into details about culpability. For example, the tickets were sold to the individuals by Motherwell. It happenned in our ground etc, etc.
  6. No, as the robbery has already taken place so they would call in specialist firearms officers. At the football the procedure would be to minimise/prevent crowd unrest.
  7. The Police would say that after a risk assessment, that option would not be viable in the interest of their and the public's safety.
  8. Surely the procedure would be for the Steward to inform a Police Officer who would then deal with the situation??
  9. Just finishing word and not read whole thread but with regards to this point... They can't really ignore it if the boy requests the CCTV footage from the club, which he is quite entitled to do.

    Motherwell V Hibs

    My mate from work (Hibs fan) is no longer going as he's convinced we'll win.
  11. If I'm right, if we miraculously finish second, we would go into C/L qualifying. If we lost we would go into Europa group satges Its a funny old game, anything could happen!
  12. YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!! Motn the 'Well!!

    Passion

    Agree with all points above. I also think it is evident at the games. The fans seem to be totally behind our young guys and the manager, with both home games the players have had standing ovations at half/full time. They must feel great when this happens so we need to keep it up. Who knows if we win on sat and then against Hibs we could be sitting comfortably in third (depending on Aberdeen results).
  14. In Jim we trust I said at the game when I heard the line up that Gannon was known for his meticulous study of the opposition and trusted his judgement. Clean sheet reinforces that.
  15. It goes something like "Remember our Fathers brave and bold, who fought for Ulster's cause" yada yada yada. I find it very, very boring still hearing them sing this gash (whatever your political viewpoint) and find it sad and embarrassing they still feel they need to bring it to the football. There was not a peep from their fans in the 2nd half until the Pen was given. Back to the game. Though we were brilliant at times. Good ball retention and our technique looks far better. Starting from the back and getting it down and playing rather than punting it and surrendering possession. Coke looked good again (if he had pace he would be amazing). O'Brien was ripping Whittaker (and Davis when they doubled up). Hately's passing was bang on at times as well. Very Encouraging.
  16. I bought a ticket via phone the other day and asked for box office collection (couldn't trust amil to get it out to me in time). Will be ragin if its shut when I get there.
  17. So was I, moved in '94 tho.
  18. Apparently they have just punted 2 defenders. One of the m Izzy Iriekpen, who they only signed in the summer.
  19. My mates band is playing at the Civic on sat. So going to head through and enjoy a few beers in Jack Daniels' while watching goalflash after goalflash of us pumping them before the gig

    Signing #6

    Scott McDonald was shite and about to quit football when we signed him. Only takes the right manager/club for it to turn to gold.
  21. Greening is being loaned to Fulham I think. I think this is the player basically bargaining with the club, saying I want to play in the Premiership, loan me this year and I'll come back and play next year if West Brom get promoted. Rather than them losing him completely. I assume West Brom are getting a fair fee for the loan as well. Either that or I have totally the wrong end of the stick here.
