So what your saying then, is that we should seat the rangers and celtic fans there when they play at fir park?

I'm now buying texas lotto tickets on a regular basis!! Although winning it may be easier than talking the wife into letting me spend it on Fir Park. We need someone to go find some rich foreigner with more money than sense although someone not foreign with mor emoney than sense would also work.

OJ is due to score a gola or 2. Higdon will be pumed after being announced as POTM and our defence should be strengthened with Cummins out. Well to win this one. After havng said that I think cummins will turn out to be a good player just too much to quick for him without the steadying influence of an older head like Craigan.

only a matter of time before he becomes infected and is as Whiney, paranoid, delusional liek the rest of us.........................Just kidding ......................welcome to the forum.

I'd take him in a heart beat. yes we need a jennings replacement more but ehhhhh gues what. if there was one available on our terms don't you think we would have already signed them?? someone mentioned in another thread we need a player that the opposiiton fear. I am sure the thought of facing Mcfadden is going to make a few managers have some sleepless nights. while filling Jenning role may hvae been the number 1 priority adding some creativity to our attacking play is also an area we could do with improving. I'll take him.

We are second after 8 games are we not.

PIG SICK!!! McCall and the team owe the fans BIG TIME after that one. At least i won't be getting any pelters tomorrow but still a sickening capiulation.

One of those things that you only do once!!! Like asking a woman if she's pregnant .................only to find out the answer is no! not one of my better moments!!

Haven't read the statement and not going to.............now back to the game! I hope we beat them by more than 2 -1 I hope we gub them so that regardless of which Rangers they choose to be it's a record home defeat for any rangers in any form!!!!

top of the league and undefeated and certainly room for some improvement..................Not too shabby to be sitting top knowing that we can do even better. Definately felt like 2 dropped points but prior to the game was feeling that 1 point would have been ok.

Welcome smiddy!! and such good typing too!! are you sure that's you?

Good luck to the lads tomorrow. Results went pretty well for us with Saturday's games. We also have a lot going for us and it seems nowadays that we have the bottle to take advantage of situations when handed the opportunity against other non OF sides. We are the only unbeaten team in the league, Aberdeen haven't scored in 3 home games this season, Fallon is out, Higdon is top scorer in the SPL, other than the cup game we seem to have the upper hand on them. See no reason for that to change tomorrow. In years gone by, having listed the above, I would be saying stick on defeat for the Well. Going for 3 points tomorrow. COYW!!!!

Vic davidson ooooops someone already said him

not sure how many but I know there are a few motherwell supporters in Austin. Went to Fado's ( fake irish pub ) to watch the league cup final against Rangers a few years back and there were a good few guys in the bar with Mothwewell colours on. So definately double fugures in Austin!

definately makes sens that you need the manager sorted out before you can expect any players to committ.

Luckily it's aberdeen loosing out on the low gate money and not us.

i thought he was already signed with someone anyway? what happened?

So how much money do we stand to make from the league cup? is there prize money for getting into each round? quarter final semi final fnal if this was queens park or clyde ( the teams above and below Rangers ) what we expect to see? whatever that would be, then that's what we should expect to see.

was at all of those games including the Morton replay which i think was at Ibrox. I'm still not sure if Jumbo dived and headed the ball in for a goal or if he fell and ball bounced off his head LOL He was one of the guys where it could easily be either of those . Great games! EDIT: although Hearts texaco game second leg we were 1 up and got beat 2 -1 AET.

agreed , i should have put "immediate" some poeple had us imploding from day 1. and i assume everyone was planning on having to make cuts and restructure budgets. pretty short sighted if they were not.

I am also hoping that Celtic being in europe, plus a league cup run, will keeep their resources stretched and cause a few slip ups in the SPL for them. The more they slip up the more it will start to mess with their heads and the more other teams will start to smell blood. Seems like a lot of people were wrong about the financial melt down of scottish football and perhaps they may also be wrong about celtic getting the title for a christmas present, we can only wait and see how things transpire.

While a win at ibrox has many positives to it, all of them are meaningless with respect to SPL position and european football. Our priorities must lie in taking as many points as possible from Abrdeen and celtic. i think the goal should be 6 points, good is 4 points, acceptable is 3 points, anything less then we have underperformed and need to work on improving over the next few games. For the league cup game I would not be averse to fielding a team that is not our starting 11. Excellent run out for our fringe players on the cusp of making it into the team. I certainly would be overcautious on using any players with knocks, they MUST be preserved for SPL. While not as important as the SPL games a win could lead to additional income for the club plus of course there is always added excitement of a good cup run. But again, the downside of a good league cup run is that it stretches our resources and may lead to us lossing out on income form european games next season. if it was my call, I would be making sure my key players were all going to be fit and ready to face Celtic on the Saturday. This approach does also have the advantage of taking the "emotion" out of the game and treating it with the level of importance that it is a league cup game against the team 4th in division 3 By treating the game as anything other than that, is a victory for the mass unwashed. We have already given way more attention than merited. Roll on the Celtic game!

loooked kind of windy today? did that affect the game? Thought it was scrappy game but as always 3 points welcome however we can get them.

I suppose players were still people back then and not the over paid petulant tantrm throwers that some of them can be nowadays. Very nice of him to do that

have you been able to read them ok? i thought i was just pasting the links and you would follow the link and size appropriately to read.
