  1. Was never a fan, however I am pleased with this decision. It's a sensible one IMHO. The players seem to be on board and have been galvanised by CB & AK. It would be folly to shake the apple-cart at this juncture.
  2. On paper - easy away win. Hope it's the same on the pitch too Right I'm away to listen to it in the bath , and if it goes our way I'll tune into Alba at 10.
  3. Great news ................. a very well done to all who played a part in securing this deal.

  5. My memory of Falkirk, Brockville stadium. A bit of a dump but a good atmosphere in the shed. Reckon we took close to 4,000 there for 1st game of 91-92 season.

    Is this enough pies for you ?
  7. It's true, but it's always been the case. There has always been an alternative to football, although not quite so many as we have today. 1st time I paid into FP it was 15p at the boys gate. That 15p would almost have got me into see Grand Prix at the Rex cinema or the bus to Wishaw baths and back, but nothing was like watching the 'Well. Into the 70's I grew addicted, from sitting in the Main Stand with my father to giving it laldy in the Shed. I was fortunate and had the money to feed my addiction. Playing rugby got in the way, and now living 200 miles away it's virtually impossible to justify. No doubt football is too expensive, (£4 to get into Nancy), but I don't think there is an answer out there.
  8. What's wrong with his post ? As for your verbal slurry, it's just not necessary. OK the guy's Mancunian and a Man U fan, so fekkin what I say. His other half is from Motherwell, so he's taken a shine to us. What's wrong with that ? Would you rather such folks opted for one of the Mauldeez ? Agree or not with his opinions, but there is no need to dish out the verbals
  9. Given the local population, the pull of the Mauldeez, the gate prices, the time of year, the recession and with the game live on TV, just under 4,000 wasn't too bad imho. It was similar to that which saw the top of the table encounter in Dumfries and almost 3,000 more than watched Airdrie. However, getting back to the point ........ Living where I do, I'd be happy to pay £8(ish) to watch a Motherwell game live on TV. Now with every fan having that option every week, could it be a possibility that in the not too distant future football will be played in virtually empty arenas with all the audience watching on TV.
  10. To be fair to JB, he has tried a variety of initiatives to get more fans in.
  11. just what I was thinking. Must be mutant ninja foxes, escaped from Ravenscraig
  12. Agreed ................... 1st half was dire tho
  13. expressing an opinion without the name calling is the key to reasoned debate. We don't have to agree with each other, fekk life would be so boring if we did, but needless and petty abuse loses you the argument every time.
  14. 3pts ................. Very happy with that
  15. Wonder what Prick Young is saying now
  16. Valid post, and well put imho. As for the incident up the back.............. bottom line, some lads broke the law by lighting up in a smoking inhibited environment. They only have themselves to blame for what happened thereafter.
  17. Are they related ? Anyone, who would normally have gone to Fir Park, decide to watch on TV instead ? I certainly won't be judgemental, others might, but it was mentioned on OTB that with TV continuing to call the shots are we heading towards crowdless games with bigger viewing audiences ?
  18. Long overdue, but I'm not confident. Lot of ball but little threat up front. Very poor 1st half and pitch looks very dodgey.
  19. I aint seen us score since the up-tie at Swynecastle nor win since a last min pen gave us 3 points at Longman over 3 years ago .............. and why aint I in any photos from Monday night
  20. Not been on all week, (still very much scunnered after Monday nights result), and didn't even know about the funeral Hope yesterday went ok. The Gaidhealtachd Dossers are a man down.
