Hey. It's thanksgiving and Logans birthday yesterday so off wed thu fri this week. Hoping to get a live stream on the tv. We'll all get our motherwell stuff on and i'll make some rolls and square slice forBreakfast. Kick off at 9am here

I just wish it was Sunday already

I hope the Celtic players are also anticipating an easy victory

For any of the younger ones with some doubt about us being able to do this..............go google 1971 league cup final

Definately cup fever this week between the final and 4th round draw. A great win against Aberdeen hardly getting any discussion. I'm hoping Moult stays till end of season and helps us lift 2 cups in the one season. COYW.

The last few years they were probably in with a chance of getting a game !! Not sure when I bought my scarf but I when I was travelling from Austin, for the 1991 final, it was worn for the whole journey, Including an overnight stay in Paris. On the day of the final I'm wandering up to the turnstile at Hampden and some stranger shouts to me "Hey! I saw you the other day at the airport in Paris" Won't be at this final but already started saving for May :-)

We'll be all rigged out for the cup final day next week. Wife Was over a couple of weeks ago so I got my cup final T shirt, grandson got the motherwell top and my pals 6 month old grandson got the wee Motherwell "onesy" and bib. Son got Motherwell hoody but I think he will probably just look out old top. Maybe I'll look out my old scarf from 1991

I think the January decicision is pretty much up to the club

Definately Moult and Bowman up front to run the Celtic defense ragged as they tire drastucally in the last 20 minutes after their mid week humping in France.

I'm sure the board must have some figure, that if it's met they would sell in January. The tricky part obviously being the guesstimating of how much more money we make by keeping him. On the other hand if we sell him we can also add on our sell on clause. I haven't done the research or the maths but I think it would have to be a pretty hefty sum for us to sell him in January.

Terrific second goal. Really fast break. Great ball zipped in by Caden and then sublime finish from Moult. He made it look way easier than it really was

+1

I hope they have "WHY NOT US" posters up all over the place at fir park. That should definitely be our mindset leading up to the final. COYW

Won't be at the final but my son just told me his pal and wife will be in Scotland on their honeymoon and have tickets for the Motherwell section, Through another Scottish connection. So obviously he's been instructed to cheer the well on to a glorious victory. So if any of you bump into a Texas couple be sure to give them a warm welcome. COYW.

Excellent result. Makes the rest of the weekend that bit more enjoyable

They can have more than one

Going by stats on BBC. Looks like a good start to the game

I remember George. Played with Patrick thistle and St Mirren. He was an officer in our BB company.

Showing your age there!

Not that familiar with the refs anymore, so is there actually a half decent one in Scotland ?

Hopefully Celtic's midweek euro game will take a lot out of them, combined with our improved fitness this year, so probably another reason to try and make it a physical stamina sapping game as we probably have a chance of winning that battle. Once you get tired your thinking starts to suffer and your execution suffers as well so lets go make it the style of game we have a chance of winning.

I wonder if he purposely plays tactics or players the first half just to keep the game even and then the second half goes for the win ? So he may not care about the first half performance as much as he cares about the HT score. Obviously that went awry at the county game and as mentioned in other thread, may not be a good ploy Vs Celtic to try and keep it even to half time. Better the Aberdeen ploy of going at it right form the start.

if I win the lotto the next couple of weeks I'll be needing a few tickets

I'm also in the "get stuck in about them" camp. Like a cup tie is supposed to be played. As was mentioned we are a much fitter team now and I also think that our players will be way higher on adrenalin than any of the celtic players. Even if you are having a shite game on the ball you can always get stuck right in and put them off their game. So we may get ahead then tire and get beat but I think we have a better chance of hanging onto a lead then we do of trying to overcome a deficit. So lets get right into them at 0-0 instead of waiting till we are 2 down. COYW

Anyone know if the game is on tv in the states?? Edit: I'm saving my money for the cup final in May
