Special aka

Ooooh, that was close. Need to hold on to the ball a tad better. Giving them way too much time room and respect.

Almost a home game for me and can't come quick enough, looking forward to meeting up with some old friends and some new found admirers ...... 3 out of 3 at Longman so far. Here's hoping for 4 from 4. Only worry is the weather. ICTFC have undersoil heating, Yes ? But the weather up here in early Jan can be rather unpredictable, and that includes most of the A9 north of Perth. Missed a game a couple of years ago as the road out of Skaville was under 3 feet of snow, and last year my Inverurie ticket got stranded in Edinburgh Fingers X'd this time.

1st week of December before we lose our 1st away league game now that aint too bad for any team.

Without bias ................ JG is absolutely spot on with his observations. Wonder how robust his words would have been had he been around FP 20 years ago ............ when IMHO things were worse that's not to say current standards are acceptable.

The Artizan in London Road, (just past its junction with Easter Road), is where most of the EoS meet up. When I lived in Easter Road, the Four in Hand was run by a Well fan .... not sure now tho.

It's nothing personal against Martin, I told him that. Does he still hold a position ?

I've been Motherwell daft since the mid 60's and I'm in favour of all things which supports and attempts to ensure the long-term stability of my beloved team. However, my gut feeling is that I remain unconvinced about rejoining the Trust. I left because of Martin Rose's appointment to the Board of MFC, as an individual and not as a Rep of the Trust. I believed this to be a conflict of interests and will not rejoin until this issue is, (in my eyes), resolved.

Exactly, and isn't it great

Odds on the draw will be lower than normal I reckon. However, right now I'll take it.

This Aberden side is one of poorest in living memory. We should win this, but we should have won at Pittodrie and didn't. 1-0 will do.

No, that was a coupla years earlier. I was at Knowetop at the time, (top floor facing Fir Park), and they wouldn't let us off school to go. Got in at half-time though.

love the pic with OtF, and the Cop with his face covered. My ticket got stuck in Edinburgh that night

Watched it (twice) on Alba. IMHO Hamilton didn't look like the team who played most of the game with 10 men However, we're 11 games into a league campaign with a new manager who inherited a team of ball-boys who are 5th in the table and unbeaten away from home and for want of a missed penalty against the Buns and poor finishing at Pittodrie could be challenging for top spot. Would we have settled for this at the end of June ?

Have to agree with that Without factoring in the ridiculous turnstyle prices you understand.

injured or dropped ?

My 20yr spell working in Edinburgh made any defeat inflicted by the Jambos .......... totally unbearable.

You have to take into consideration that they look upon us thru a similar filter as that which we view the Mauld Firm.

Players come and go, there's no room for sentimentality ............. From what I've witnessed of JG so far, I'm happy for him to take the lead on this.

Motherwell in the SPL or Crewe in the bottom tier of English football ? ................... you do the Math

Forgot about that

Nice wee report there on Sky Sports News

Euro cops take no shit tho, as witnessed after the game in Nancy. That said, plenty tv coverage should enable cops to identify the culprits ............. then name, shame and birch the fekkers.

Well done Gents, and here's to it being the 1st of plenty silverware to come your way while at Fir Park.

'kin Tossers The UK's armed services contain many Celtic supporters. I wonder how they must feel when they hear/see the antics of their Club and fellow fans. Well done Falkirk.

'Welcome to Motherwell FC ClubCall, the place where you will hear all the news as it happens from Fir Park. But first, let me talk pissh for 2 mins ........................ '
