  11. Semi-Final Non-Match Discussion Thread

    Cheers WeeYin wouldn't like to get up at 6.30am to see the game and MYp2p mess it up so sounds like they have it at correct time then.

     

    I am hopin to be able to make it back as i did in 1991 didn't bother for the league cup ( phew ) but did go to the pub in Austin to see it and was bummed that I drove even that far after that display. Hoping the SEMI final will be a thing of beauty, a joy to watch as we rip them apart but more than willing to accept a deep into injury time winner with the ball heading by the post only to bounce off the ref and land in the net.

     

    Was funny when i came back in 1991. I had my scarf on when I left Austin ( scorchin hot ) all the way to motherwell. Had to go through Paris airport as it was cheapest way. I am wandering around outside hampden to go to the gate when some stranger passing by blurts out....." Hey! I saw you in the airport at Paris yesterday"

     

    Still got my plastic back with scarf, video, papers program etc from that day!!! I also have newspaper form 1952 cup final victory. Got that from my uncle who was with me that day so he got to see them win the cup twice. Sadly he is long gone now but hopefully I wil get to join him in being able to say I have seen Motherwell lift the cup twice............................of course there's still the matter of that pesky semi final to get through first!

  13. Semi Final Ticket Sales

    Posted

    They should announce on Friday that anyone with a ticket can bring a friend in free. Not like they would be loosing any money and might swell the crowd a wee bit.

     

    I have been trying hard to hold off and not jinx us...................but started looking at flights for the final already! Seemslike it might cost me a wee bit more than it did in 1991 :-(

    I saw most of them. Memory of my first game at Fir park was against Rangers and the score was 3-3 not sure if that is right or not but that is my recollection must have been early 60's

    But the team I recall was ( not specifically that day )

     

    Wylie

    Thompson Mcallum

    Aitken Martis McAnn

    forward line is a bit sketchy but certainly remember watching Andy Wier ( scored winner in scottish cup game V stenhousemuir with a "banana" shot i think papers called it )

    willie hunter was magic was it just after that when JOe Mcbride played? the other forwards I recall were maybe a wee bit after that people like george Lindsay.......is he still running?

    I also have some old newspapers with reports on mothere beatingBrazilian teams Flamenco 9-3 and Bahia 3-0 plus of course paper clips from 1952 scottish cup victory ( before i was born )

    I need to get them laminated or something to preserve them and get them scanned to share on here.

  20. Dundee Game

    DAMN!!!! i didn't know the game was early kick off. Woke up here to watch game at 9am on computer at one of links so kindly suggested by people on here yesterday. The first thing i read is that we won 4-0. WOOOHOOOOO!

    So now my question is.............is there a link that I can see highlightd??? As mentioned yesterday BBC w***ers do something to their link so that us exiles can't view.

     

    Would love to see the highlights so hopefully someone can provide a link.

    Anyone know if there is a web link so that I can watch the game live in Texas? Also i see that someetime people will post links to BBC for highlights but for some reason it comes up message "not available to play in your region" , or something along those lines. Why the hell is that when there are clips from all over the world one here to view. Not sure if some of the other exiled fans on here have the same issue depending on what country they are in.

  24. Bookies Investigate Red Card

    in Club Chat

    Posted

    Well we won't solve it here but whoever is running the investigation needs to wrap it up one way or another quickly. Either they have evidence or they don't as I havestated on here the evifdence needs to show that jenno got sent off on purpose. I do not know how that can be proved.
