Nothing wrong with a bit of local pride and wild optimism mate, sometimes that's all we've had ourselves!! Seriously though, it will be even tougher for Locos in the re-arranged match as most of them wil have to work during the day prior to the 7.45pm kick off on the 21st.

Aye, Saturday 7th February is the most likely if they can't get the game on in a midweek.

I think with Ports playing so well lately its been tough to justify a place for Sutty, especially as they can't seem to play well together. That said, he's a great guy to have on the bench just in case.

Not like Well fans to harshly judge a player too quickly is it?!! Having said that he did make a slow start to his Motherwell career, but if he keeps up this level of effort and can improve his final ball, we'll have a real prospect on our hands. Keep it up Jim.

Never even considered it being a foul at the time and I still have the same (biased!) opinion! I'd be screaming for a foul at the other end of the park, but that's just me!

I wouldn't make wholesale changes for Saturday, but if Ports has any sort of knock then leave him out. The same goes for guys like Clarky and Crago who're just back after injury, missing this wouldn't be the end of the world and we're still extremely likely to win. In terms of Ports long term future, I'd want him to stay until the end of the season unless we get a silly offer for him. With something like 50k per place prize money in the SPL plus the prospect of a run in the Scottish Cup, we could make more money by keeping him than selling him.

Great work Pie, looks like a quaint and interesting wee ground, although it'll have to be tallest at the back and wee-est (like me!) down the front at our end! Hope the game is on, looking forward to it.

Great performances all over the park, but my vote went to Coach who kept Andy Driver quiet, which was vital to our win.

Spot on with that!

Fair chuffed with my prediction, not a lot wrong there eh?!! Great result and a resilient performance, solid all over the park and a better final pass away from another couple of goals. Great stuff!

I quite agree mate, gied me a right laugh when he came on so it did!

Initial impressions are that it seems a good bit of business, hope it happens. Wonder who'll leave in the summer to make way? Hughes, Malcolm and McGarry and all out of contract.

Easy one for me - Crusanders in Belfast in July 2006! Quite simply a drunken day from start to finish!

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Jambos financial dealings, I do not believe that Ports will be interested in moving to them, he will be eyeing a move back down south. Also, the timing of this announcement is cheeky at the very least, and a Ports goal or two tomorrow night would be sweet!

The Jambos have favoured a 4-5-1 formation so it might be worth asking Clarky to fill in on the right side to match up, especially to ensure that Coach isn't left one on one too often with Andy Driver. Midfield will be crowded but I think we can hold our own in there, and if we can keep Nade, Stewart and the afore-mentioned Driver quiet then Jambos goal threat is virtually nil. In terms of going forward I think we have the more potent goal threat, and with that in mind I'm going for us to pinch it 1-0 thanks to Ports.

Its a bit weird down here too mate, not too bad during the best part of the day but starts to freeze overnight, and is duly baltic of a morning!

I was at that game too, a superb performance all round with a few great goals, but the 5th from Johnny G was fantastic. I think Doug Rougvie is still trying to untangle himself even now!!

The big man certainly deserves a lucky break, if you pardon the pun. Here's hoping he can enjoy and injury-free run and play some fitba.

Magic, gives us a wee bit of hope for the rest of the season. We're only 6 points away from the Top Six with a game in hand so you never know .

Hope you're right mate, daily updates would be good if you're up for it!

Hope you're right mate, not so easy to get up there of a midweek, fingers crossed for a mild week ahead of the game.

Cheeky wummin! LOL!

Very decent display from the team, an even first half but all Motherwell in the second. We made loads of chances and on another day would've scored a few. Don't get me started on the ref, a disgraceful performance from start to finish and we deserved at least one penalty. I'm not expecting any sort of explanation from officialdom as to why we didn't get either. In terms of the team, no-one was poor but Maros, Crago, Clarky and Shug stood out, with O'Brien doing well again.

A warm welcome to Artur Krysiak, here's hoping he's not the last new face at Fir Park this transfer window.

This is a great thread full of wonderful memories, superb to read! Some of mine have already been covered, so I'll throw in a few others: Farningham Day at Geyskull in 1986. Jamie Dolan in goals v Shellic in 1996. 4-2 at Easter Road last season. 3-0 v Gers in 1991.
