Casagolda.
Sorry Frazer but Casagolda is a sanddancer nice touches but wont move if ball is not placed right at his boots (and what are those boots all about ffs!)
-
Whilst i agree about everyone else about the character Cameron (serious football coverage is on five live or radio Scotland) surely its good the club are getting coverage?
-
I like the look of that team, I think we should try playing with 3 at the back cause Saunders is primarily a centre half and i think Hammell would be more than happy at left mid/wing.
Please no three at back has never worked for Motherwell stick to Fabios favoured 4 4 2

Captain fantastic

If anyone from Norway has time i would advise them to visit the Heritage Centre in High Road quite near Motherwell train station there you will see about the towns industrial past (perhaps a wee bit about the team too) one thing you will see if you visit the heritage centre of which i am proud this area elected Britains first Communist mp to Wesminster.
Hope you enjoy your visit whatever the result.

Craig Brown says much he same in an article in the Sun its obvious all the money has went on the surface and does not make you feel good about the season to come.

"the shite side of Stanley park" any chance of an explanation?
-
Humphrey like others have said only needs to take a bit of time with his crossing
-
I know there is a thread but didnt want this disappearing under 17 pages.I was wondering if there was a club announcement coming this week ?Was led to believe the choose life was temporary for Euro games and was another for 2010/11 season
-
I voted for Hately thought he played quite well and Forbes Motherwells best creative player , dont laugh but thought Sutton had good game last night .

Not Fir Park regular well i have had a season ticket since the seats were put in the east stand and i have followed MY team as far apart as Sheilfield park in Berwick and Westfalen Dortmund .This actually proves without shadow of a doubt that you are not a fir park regularcheerio!

Formation at the end of last season...
------------------Ruddy
Hateley---Craigan---Reynolds---Hammell
O'Brien---Jennings----Lasley-----SUTTON
Jutkiewicz-------Murphy
WHERE IS YOUR LONE STRIKER YOU TWAT!
Swap Juke with McHugh and that's what we can expect the forward line to be this season.
When you are at Fir Park try to actually watch what happens on the green bit Jennings, Lasley, Hately, Humphreys that is your midfield freaking eunuch
-
Dropping deep
manager asks me to play left midfield
so the team line up 4 4 2 with Sutton as a striker but he plays in midfield so in reality its one up?
-
If he would stop dropping deep all the time i would apologise most of the time he does this Jamie Murphy is left himself. Of course its understandable if Well are defending a set piece.

Why are Motherwell paying wages to this pile of cow dung?He does not score goals and he does not bring other players into the game get him to fuck.
-
Might seem unimportant but what i like about Steven Craigan apart from his leadership qualities is his refusal to bow to modern fashion and wear coloured boots really gets on my wick the amount of poseurs going round with lime green yellow etc etc football boots.
I know im going to get ridiculed for this but i dont care.

Of course the people on both sides of the conflict went through hell 60,000 died in the 1st minute of the Battle of the Somme and for what? Did their countries change after the war? Did they lead better easier lives? You suggest i do some research well if you have an open mind you can read "The speech from the Dock"Spot on mjw. Cannot begin to imagine the hell those in the trenches on both sides went thru. No matter their uniform, they deserve our total respect. -
The futility of war can't be exemplified any better than The Somme and the carnage it created. There can't be a town or city in Britain and Ireland that doesn't have a memorial to the young men who were killed over the months of that battle; a battle which was indecisive and which eventually, after hundreds of thousands of dead, forced generals on both sides to go back to the drawing board and to devise plans which guarenteed the deaths of thousands more.
I've studies the First World War many times - from school through to post-graduate studies, and the scale of the loss never fails to touch me. It may have been almost a century ago, but a generation of lost young men in europe ( and many from further afield ) remains horrifying. Bones and artefacts continue to be discovered on the western and eastern fronts, and utlimately it all goes back to a small interconnected and related elite trying to be more powerful than each other, particularly in the German case.
Wilfred Own remains my favourite reference for the carnage of the Great War; a man who explored the depths that mankind sank to in 1914-18 better than anyone I know, and it's his portrayal of the survivors of the western front in his poem 'Mental Cases', which describes the countless young men whose nervous systems were destroyed in a way more debilitating than the physical wounds, that touches me most. They couldn't escape through death on the battlefield and were tortured thereafter.
We type out a brief tribute to their hell from the comfort of our homes in the twenty-first century and truly don't know how lucky we are.
Mental Cases
Who are these? Why sit they here in twilight?
Wherefore rock they, purgatorial shadows,
Drooping tongues from jays that slob their relish,
Baring teeth that leer like skulls' teeth wicked?
Stroke on stroke of pain,- but what slow panic,
Gouged these chasms round their fretted sockets?
Ever from their hair and through their hands' palms
Misery swelters. Surely we have perished
Sleeping, and walk hell; but who these hellish?
-These are men whose minds the Dead have ravished.
Memory fingers in their hair of murders,
Multitudinous murders they once witnessed.
Wading sloughs of flesh these helpless wander,
Treading blood from lungs that had loved laughter.
Always they must see these things and hear them,
Batter of guns and shatter of flying muscles,
Carnage incomparable, and human squander
Rucked too thick for these men's extrication.
Therefore still their eyeballs shrink tormented
Back into their brains, because on their sense
Sunlight seems a blood-smear; night comes blood-black;
Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh.
-Thus their heads wear this hilarious, hideous,
Awful falseness of set-smiling corpses.
-Thus their hands are plucking at each other;
Picking at the rope-knouts of their scourging;
Snatching after us who smote them, brother,
Pawing us who dealt them war and madness.
Wilfred Owen
P.S. Could I also say the Great War should never be turned into some jingoistic celebration of eventually beating "The H.U.N." Every young German and of their allies who died prematurely in the Great War as they 'did their duty for king and country' were equal victims in the carnage, and every last one of them deserves to be held up as an example of the deliberate waste of young life that was 1914-18.
Wise words my friend

Most wars are caused by the greed of capitalism and that one certainly was no different just a pity the revolution which started in Russia did not spread around the globe meaning no other workers would have to slaughter each other while their superiors sat back and got rich on the profits made from arnaments.

If top level officiald are speaking of this on tv i dont see thm being at Fir Park in 5 years.It should be made aware that the Fir park school is moving to the Globe area found that out today by accident whoever buy that bsite will want the stadium land too.Supporters groups need to make themselves heard at a time like this.
