am I gonna be the first to say it?
I thought it was going to be sleek petrol blue number from River Island so that people could wear it to the game without being accused of sporting club colours.

as much as i would like to defend Boyle, he provoked the situation.. if tables were turned and brown walked up and made comments in boyles ear and boyle reacted then that would be right too... Boyle obviously said something in his ear that made him react that way and he gets what he deserved
I think you're missing the point that a precedent had already been set a few weeks earlier with the McCoist/Lennon incident.

Although I will miss a new years derby at New Douglas Park to be honest
Indeed. With no Accies, that will likely mean a St. Mirren or Killie New Year 'derby' - which never felt quite right to me.

So if he wasn't going to miss the game why were you flapping you gums about how worried you were he'd miss the game?

I'd just hate to think ma Da didn't get to see this!
You could have given him your ticket anyway, like a good son.

I hope we don't start implementing a "Motherwell Supporters Only" policy with our squad.
I doubt Tom Boyd was thinking much about Celtic when he lifted his first senior trophy above his head in '91. Who cares what he did after that?

It's no coincidence that I'm getting my internet upgraded on Wednesday so, hopfeully, I'll be able to take advantage of a high quality stream.
So plan will be a couple of rolls and square sausage for breakfast. Not too exciting, but can't wait.

i still don't understand why people feel so strongly about this.
is there that big a difference between playing 9 teams 4 times in a ten team league and the status quo of 6 teams 3 times plus 5 teams 4 times? would or season have been that bad if accies and midden had never blackened or eyes and we played hibs, ict, st johnstone and the sheep one more time?
the reason they are trying to do this is to strenghten the teams currently in the first and make relegation from the spl less of a financial blow. you look at the problems of the likes of falkirk, qots and dundee and it's clear they need a hand.
So what are the figures quoted for the finances they are kindly donating to the First division? What is the source of all this extra revenue? If Falkirk QoS etc. need a hand, how about including them in an expanded SPL and distributing the income more evenly? How about reducing the likelihood teams are relegated so that the product on the field can be more expansive instead of 'park the bus'?
The 10-team SPL is for the benefit of the OF by scheduling one more bigot extravaganza each season, and allowing them a couple of lucrative extra exhibition games. It has nothing to do with entertaining the punters coming through the gates and even less to do with improving the quality of the product.

See Barca and Man U have equal share of tickets for the champions league final even though Barca have 35,000 more season ticket holders. Yet the bl#%dy SFA can't manage a fair split of the tickets.
Barcelona average attendance: 76,176
Man Utd. average attendance: 75, 486
Celtic average attendance: 47,874
Motherwell average attendance: 5,319
I'm happy to argue that we should receive a 50/50 split for many reasons, but number of fans who attend (season tickets or not) probably isn't a good starting point.

Make no mistake here.
Come the final, every player has to be close to playing at their peak if we have any chance of winning.
My main concern is, if players are going through the motions for a 3 week period are they capable of hitting 100% on the day.
Same concern as me. A different sport I know, but in the American football over here, it's not unusual for teams to struggle the game after they have a bye-week - and we seem to be having 2 or 3.
Celtic are having to fight to keep their title hopes alive and keeping a competitive edge until the last ball of the season is kicked.
We are playing a dangerous game.
-
Rightly or wrongly the club and its management are clearly focusing on the Cup Final to the detriment of the league campaign. After the break, overtaking Killie was always going to be a steep uphill struggle. and I guess that the club quickly realised this. I agree though that this doesn't make for good spectating and fans have a right to think they're being short changed.
A point yesterday (from a team we have had in our back pocket recently) and a home win against Killie would more than likely have seen us in 5th. Hardly an uphill struggle.
-
I'm just feeling really down about Motherwell just now following the last two gubbings but I do know why I queued for over three hours last Monday - because I hope that some miracle can occur on the day of the final, even if I don't for one minute think that it will.
Hopefully, you'll do the decent thing and sell (or donate) your ticket to a Motherwell fan who wants to go to the game.

I don't see how getting into a losing habit can be good preparation for the final. Of course, if we win, it will have been worth it, but for me we are more likely to win if we play with a competitive edge in the run up.
We didn't mess about in '91 - in fact, from memory, we only lost once or twice during the last quarter of the season.
-
Ticket prices should be proportionate to the effort the players are planning in putting into this game. Which, based on the last couple of matches, means anyone who turns up will be handed a fistful of tenners.

More worried about who's gonnie be number 13
Wasn't klimpl our last 13?
Brucie Cleland used to play 13.

Sure hammy isn't being a bit full of himeself again?
Or maybe he was just joking that he was being rested so 'ran the show' from the touchline by putting some of the guys through their paces.

I think the 10 team league supporters + Neil Doncaster are missing a trick by not clarifying and advertising the "step to a larger league" agenda.
That's because no amount of clarification could explain how reducing the number of teams to 10 would be a step towards a larger league.

I'm hoping they will be selling season tickets for Motherwell TV.

Re: the STV story. Good as it is that we are challenging it, I think I might have preferred it if we were challenging it with a bit more substance to tackle their claim, than simply challenging them for failing to lodge their complaint in time.
A lawyer will use the legal approach most likely to win. No need to bother with assembling a more detailed defence if the case has been filed too late.

FIFA citing that cross-border thing again? Bunch of Swiss bawbags.
With his height he would have been dynamite up front.
No chance. The guy has been hiding for most of his career and only performs when the cameras are on him.

Cup Final Tickets

I wouldn't believe half of the stories about mates of mates cousins getting tickets. There might not be a general sale, but I'd still be very surprised if there aren't enough tickets for the folks in the ballot who haven't already got one.
