Lets make them queue up at a porticabin right next to the gate one by one n slowly give them their free ticket like they make us do
Why would we do that? The club is, quite rightly, trying to treat away fans the way they want our fans to be treated at other grounds.
Then maybe - just maybe - the way we are treated away from home might improve.

I didn't realise Willie P's strike rate was that good - 80 goals in 146 appearances sounds impressive by Motherwell standards. If the wee man can replicate anywhere near that, we are on to a winner
Aye, he really does live up to his 'legend' status.
-
How could he tell?
Because Wullie P always celebrated 20 seconds before he scored.

My father used to tell me Pettigrew was literally faster than light. Being six at the time I completely believed it!
Only over the first 5 yards
-
good man, cheers
good wee read, I wish I got to see Pettigrew
Fantastic player, and one of those rarities that, when you look back at footage from the old games, was actually as good as you remember.

Nice piece in today's Sun with the legends...
I remember when, after a few successful games, the Daily Record was comparing John McKeever to Gerd Muller. Hope this article doesn't have the same effect!

Translated (for all the good it does.....)
Henrik Ojamaa created the Scottish Cup fifth Motherwelli the gate circuit, thus helping your team Greenock Morton plays a rung lower than 6:0 victory. Andrei Stepanov played 90 minutes and earned a yellow card for a beat Aris Limassol Cyprus Anorthosis Famagusta 1-0 in the league at home. Nea Salaam Famagusta Nicosia match 1:1 draw against Olympiakose exchanged Martin Vunk the 57th minute, Andres Oper composition was not one. Nea Salaam is 19 with 24 points after seven rounds, Aris 18 12nes eye. Cyprus Cup succumbed in business Nea Salaam 0:2. Last (Vunk 90) lost over Omonia Nicosia and the first leader (Stepanov 90) Ats Canvas former club Ethnikos Achna. Vitesse Arnhem beat NAC Breda Dutch masters in the series at home 1-0. Marko Meerits and Raio Piiroja were not part of the composition. Ragnar Klavan i employers AZ Alkmaar match against ADO Den Hague was postponed.

Forget leeds, the h**s will be sniffing about him soon
Couldn't afford him.

Is there an MFC TV commentary for this? I'm getting nothing, but then realised we might not get cup games.

Speaking of impact.............I remember when Roger Hynd became manager. Peter Miller played like Beckenbaur for about half a dozen games............then fell back into the "kick his own granny" style of play.
I don't remember *any* 'Well player playing like Beckenbauer when Hynd took over, far less Millar! I do remember a lot of draws.

Obviously really pleased he's signed but canny help thinking that we're maybe wanking all over his dish a bit too much here.
If he can keep up the performances then brilliant but we canny expect what we've seen so far every week.
Can't disagree with that. Happy we signed him up, but new players often make an instant impact. Once the SPL teams have had a wee while to work him out, they are going to adjust defensively and make him work a lot harder for his goals.
I think he'll be a good foil for Higgy, though, and definitely a welcome addition to the squad at a time when it looked like no new signings were on the cards.

Maybe I'm being mean, lack community spirit, or don't really care about my club??
I think the money I spend at the gate, in the club shop, at away games in the cup is more than enough.
I'm maybe more of the opinion...
ask not what I can do for Motherwell,
but what Motherwell have done for me..
I could make sacrifices and give Motherwell another £300, but what would it be spent on? Paying £100k a year to journeymen from the English lower leagues? Maintaining a crumbling stadium that was neglected when paying £400k a year to a slightly higher calibre of journeyman?
Charity begins at home, and as much as I live following Motherwell, it's an easy decision to be selfish on this one. Football clubs have got themselves in this mess while fleecing the paying punter, so why should the paying punter now bail them out???
I don't think you're being selfish - this is a purely voluntary scheme giving people who want to, the chance to buy into the club and have somewhat of a say (however small or indirect) in the club's running.
I disagree, however, that we are in a mess. We continue to run as a breakeven club, and this scheme removes our dependency on the banks, or worse, some money man, who might not have our best interests at heart.

Seems strange to me. He must think he's better than a top class championship side?? Maybe he's been on a stag weekend and cannae go back.
Despite being a youngster, he's been around enough players domestically and internationally that have made bad career moves. Maybe he's one of the smart ones that, after speaking to the target club, realised it wasn't the best option for him.
Or maybe he just enjoys playing at a club that has offered him regular European football and wants to add to his record goal tally before he leaves.

Look at the business Falkirk did yesterday. One youngster left for Huddersfield for a "six figure fee" and another went for £300k rising to £700k.
Aye, but we're 11 places and 1 division above Falkirk.
It's a difficult balancing act between finding the perfect time to sell off players for the best price and keeping players that will contribute to higher league placings (and hence more income for the club).
Right now, we have a decent squad, balanced books and are gunning for 3rd place. I'd rather have that than be trying to win promotion from the First Division.
-
that sums it up for me.
goodwillie's a good player but not a great player. his value increased because he was scoring on a regular basis even although a lot of his goals were tap ins, deflections and pens and because united and their media contacts were consistenly hyping him up.
Undoubtedly that is part of the equation. However, other factors such as being an international, and being on a bigger salary factor into it. Most importantly, however, is the fact that more than one team was interested in buying him.

Got a very bad feeling about this one. We've won our last two on the trot and we're strongly expected to get through this one comfortably given that we're at home against a lower league side. But we've seen many a Motherwell side come a cropper in games like this down the years and I've a feeling Saturday will be the same unfortunately. As always though I hope to be proved wrong.
1-0 Morton
Might be worth a shot.

Rangers were ~£80M in debt at one point. Failure to address that early enough plus tax case has scunnered them.
Murray basically made Boyle's mistakes, but on a much grander scale (and with too much ego to recognize it).

Im probably not as far off your age as you think!
I'm sure you got the whimsical, light-hearted joke I was making though.
I did, yes. But when you do finally catch up to my age you'll also inherit the "pedantic moaning auld git" privleges! Use them wisely, my friend

When Jon Corzine was the CEO of Goldman Sachs he was responsible for taking them public. After all the processes has been put in place to sell the shares and a date set for the IPO, he had to push it back because of the economic downturn.
If those guys can get it wrong, it's not inconceivable that MFC might get it wrong too.
