  1. Didn't think there would be much action tonight and didn't bother using the season ticket as was home late from work A first half hat trick, when was the last one?
  2. I was referring to the semi, never seen any highlights from that game, just remember being in the stand at hampden crying my eyes out. I was at the game MJ refers to and wouldn't mind seeing highlights from that again also, was in the main stand at Fir Park for that one and again remember crying my wee beads out after that one with my old man saying thats fitba son quietly seething, what made up for it was beating Celtic a month later with Marinello scoring both goals. What a team we had then with Graham, Pettigrew, Davidson and Marinello. Just checked back to that season we beat Rangers 3-1 at home, we had a 10 game unbeaten run, wish we could find that form this season added to our cracking away form, we would be right up there.
  3. Saturday is Service Day is a book cherished by a lot of people, a book which tells the story as it was, a book that tells the story as it happened, the people in the book have fuzzy memories of the facts behind the day, being so pumped up for the occasion or being drunk or hiding behind a big guy going ahead with the opposition. I remember the Queen St incident the most and never been so scared in my whole life apart from Meadowbank away, but hey ho in for a penny in for a pound or as my old man used to say to me when trying to talk sense into a young teenage son intent on being a fan who fought their corner on the terrace, fly with the crows you will get shot with the crows but never let your mates down.
  4. I was knackered, my 2 girls had dad to carry them half the way, it was chances each on dads shoulders, walking on ice all the way was all in the challenge with added weight, worthwhile cause, great day out apart from the sore feet for a month afterwards, so I suppose we will be doing it this year again for the British Heart Foundation.
  5. Your right there, wouldn't mind a link with as good coverage for THAT game
  6. Did Callum Bell sign any?
  7. Bobby Graham (friend of my dad) Dougie Arnott (pretty obvious) Davie Cooper (genious, with the left peg anyway) Willie Pettigrew ( Went to his dads house for halloween when I was a kid, idolised him and still a pleasure to meet him on occasion) James McFadden ( when I stopped going to games, my mates talked me into coming along again to see this kid, entertainment value was there and I fell in love with the game again)
  8. That adds up to 6 . Got to be the 76 semi for me, Was it Rennie in goals and Johnstone dive about 3 yards outside the box, only slight memory of it as I think was my first game at Hampden with my old man and I was 8. He died the night we lost 5 - 1 in 2005, still miss the old git every day.

    Rangers Tickets

    People who retire at 60 probably have a chance of a good lifestyle, self sufficient and live a healthy life, having had a great job. Concessions for over 60's should be for those who are getting benefits to help them through like income support or invalidity benefit allowance. Too many over 60's at Fir Park not paying their way yet lording it up in the bar while others struggle to pay their way for my liking.
  10. There is a patch of grass behind the goals at the Cooper end near the East stand just at the advertising boards that has grown a bit long, ffs get it sorted.
  11. Any time I have e mailed Leanne always had a reply, never before did we have fan communications like that, I am happy things are moving along quite merrily before John Boyle steps aside or a non executive role, no matter what anyone thinks about him he will leave/ move aside from power when he is sure we are in good hands and fair play to him for that.
  12. I actually listened to the show tonight on the way home from work because I had heard Hughes had walked. To be fair Ewan C didn't say anything about Craig Brown leaving, it was a Hibbie who suggested it and Ewan C just threw his name in the hat as a possible replacement for Hughes, nothing new there generating a bit of a debate. Thought the Motherwell fan who got on the show was spot on with his assessment and Roughie backed him, would be very doubtful if Craig Brown even considered leaving Motherwell for the Hibs job if he was considered for it which again would be doubtful.
  13. Did You not see John Boyle with the board with the numbers on it?
  14. Total shite. correct me if I am wrong but did we play all of second half 4 5 1? John Sutton needs to be dropped. a passenger again today and how it takes until the 75 min to bring on Gow and inject some pace into our play is staggering. All said pleased with the 3 points but really wished I was doing something more interesting today than watch us struggle against that shite.
  15. Seconded, very happy chappie tonight, love beating them there, since we came back with nae windaes in our bus when we relegated them and I was only a child
  16. I have no idea why Sutton stayed on the park as long as he did today, was a passenger the whole game, he didn't look himself, rarely won a header and on the deck was pretty much useless, humph, well was like playing with a humph, crossing is terrible. I think 2 points dropped easily, Aberdeen are not a good side, Hartley drives them on without much else there for them. As for the referree, what a total joke, he let go many a yellow card today then books Jennings for fuck all in added time says it all about that performance.
  17. Still the same, gave up with it now.
  18. Delighted for Stephen Craigan, fantastic achievement and fully deserved. Have we ever had a player playing for us being capped 50 times? I can't think of any.

    Celtic

    Keith Lasley a few slack passes but solid
  20. Remember quite a few on here want to get in for a tenner, speculate to accumulate is right oot the windae while other clubs are paying top dollar for an average player, we are scrapping around the bottom of the barrel looking for the odd decent player who has not been picked up. That is the reality
  21. The Cooper was more bouncing than the East You East fans want to get your act together
  22. Murph, feel for him and still do, a hard one to take that defeat, roll on Sunday
  23. Crap product in crap facilities? Tell you what mate don't bother going to the game today you won't enjoy it even if it is a thriller. Aye I suppose Motherwell should just let everyone in for free, then all the players will play for free, all the staff will work for free and all live happily ever after.
