  1. Your work colleague clearly hasnt read the thread on the 'Rainjurs debacle' lol!!!!!
  2. I think if we beat St Johnstone and Dundee United at home we will finish 3rd and will deserve it.
  3. Id rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon! There's a world of difference between appreciating the achievement of a likeminded community club and lauding either of the ugly sisters. I hope they get their point against Killie, maybe then they will ring the changes in order to make it easier to steal Rangers £900k.....er, I mean, rest players for the Scottish Cup!
  4. So looks like we will have Celtic, Rangers and Dundee United at home and St Johnstone, Hearts away. I would bite your hand off for that right now!
  5. Thought it was a decent performance yesterday. Not the prettiest at times but after last week, much more competitive. If we can take that level of performance into the last 6 games we will do okay.
  6. I remember being at that game as a 10 year old. After we went 2 up the knuckle draggers started throwing beer bottles but they were so pished they were hitting all the kids down the front. Remember my dad picking me up and carrying me across the pitch to the enclosure where we watched the rest of the game. Think this was the first time I realised I hated Rangers!
  7. Not sure its so much that we 'need' the extra money, but we would be silly to turn it down, certainly in the short term until we see how the whole Rangers debacle plays out. I remember the all terraced days when you would only get a few hundred M'Well fans turning out for OF games cause they effectively had the whole ground and you had to run the gauntlet to get into the Well section. Things are a vast improvment from then. Much rather see a packed East and Cooper than all the empty spaces you normally get. Hopefully give our support the platform to get right behind the team.
  8. Good to hear this response from the dressing room. Hope we get a reaction on Saturday. He's wrong about the pen tho. Wasnt sure at the game but on the tv evidence we can have no complaints.
  9. I must have been sitting near you! I remember that or something very similar. Funny as f***! Well, I think it was spposed to be.......
  10. Sorry sbmfc, usually agree with most of your posts but I thought Clancy was trying too hard at times. He rode his luck with a lot of his tackles and I thought he was going to pick up a red at one point. Didnt think his distribution was great either. Too many Craigan World Cup balls when a wee pass to Jennings/Carswell would have done. Looked like the Killie fans and one or two of the players had got under his skin. Shame cause I think he has had a good season for us and has surprised me with his quality. Hope he has saved his best for this week!
  11. Our over reliance on long balls to Higdon is becoming embarrassing. We appear to have stopped trying to play football of any sort. It was clear before half time that he and Ojamma were having stinkers, Ojamma even changed his boots! Also, I like Clancy, but he needs to stop playing the Stephen Craigan ball! With Humphrey starting to hit a bit of form we need to mix it up a bit and to get back to playing slick passing football.
  12. Thought Humphrey was our best player by a distance yesterday. Why we didnt get the ball to him at every opportunity when it was clear all around were having howlers is beyond me.
  13. Couldnt believe it when I saw the news today and realised how long it had been since Coops passing. A truly exceptional talent and possibly the greatest talent I have ever witnessed in a Motherwell shirt. The joy on his face as he lifted the Cup in '91 spoke a thousand words. Safe to say only Faddy has got anywhere close in the years since. Will we ever see his likes again. RIP Coop. A gentleman and Motherwell Great!
  14. We have won all Scotlands major trophies, but never graced europes top competition and are ulikely to ever have the opportunity again. To do it in my lifetime and have the opportunity to attend......well, its a no brainer.
  15. I like Kenny Shiels. I think he is good value and adds a bit of colour to our game. Bit mental in the Ivan Golac style, but I'd take that over the usual 'it was a game of 2halfs' pish you normally get. Really looking forward to tomorrow. 15 mins on the bus to an away game a few beers in the Portmann and cheering the Well on into 2nd place......hopefully!
  16. This. We all know there are too many ruling bodies in Scottish Football. Disband the SPL and merge the SFA and SFL. One ruling body running things for the good of the game not for the benefit of a couple of very large parasites. I support the rebel ten.
  17. 'Rebel - participant in a rebellion. Rebellion - refusal of obedience or order aimed at destroying or replacing an established order' More than happy to be called a rebel on that definition. Hail Hail the revolution! Lol!
  18. That B team would do some damage, never mind your A team! We really were spoiled late 80's / early 90's!
  19. Well done Killie. Hopefully get a bumper away support for this one given the timing and importance of it. Virtually a home game for me so a no brainer. Any idea what the vibe is about how many are intending to travel?
  20. How did Ken Dodds song go.... We are the diddy teams The diddy teams The diddy teams We are the diddy teams We hate the Old Firm
  21. That £900k difference for second place would meam such a huge difference to our prospects next season. We must do everything in our power to get it. Fairly sure the manager and Chief Executive will have discussed this at length! Not to mention it will also be £900k less in Rangers coffers. A £1.8 mill difference between us and them next season would be huge......if they're still in the league!
  22. yAlways think thats a tough one as you are kind of limited to the players you have had the privelege of actually seeing. No doubt players like George Stevenston Willie McFadyen Hughie Ferguson Wilson Humphries Willie Redpath Bobby Ferrier Charlie Aitken Andy Paton Ian St John deserve their place in history a no bad team from the greatest players I have actually seen would be Sieb Dykstra Luc Nijholt Chris McCart Brian Martin Joe Wark Bobby Russell Paul Lambert Colin O'Neill Davy Cooper Bobby Graham Wullie Pettigrew Subs Ally Maxwell Stevie Hammell Fraser Wishart James McFadden Tommy Coyne Dougie Arnott Phil O'Donnell Brian McClair (2nd stint excluded!) Johnny Gahagan can always argue that a lot of the players listed didnt play their best football at Fir Park, however I think the ones I have listed all made a lasting impact. Unfortunately, at the moment, only Stevie Hammell would do this and thats mainly due to number of appearances and consistency in a time where such qualities are so rare.
