  1. I was gutted at the result, but not being at the game, it's surprising how quickly I've got over it - like others, the loss of Las and Grimshaw concerned me, and I've no doubt the Boss got his team selection wrong, but hey ho ! It's how we respond next week that will tell a bigger story - psychotic maybe, but looking forward to it. MON RA DOSSERS
  2. Stopped watching Sportscne years ago for the same reason I stopped buying newspapers: old Squirm bias, and whoever are their lovvies at the time.
  3. FFS, are you trying to get barred from this site !! MON RA DOSSERS
  4. I was fortunate enough to be growing up at a time when Joe played his football with us, and as has been mentioned already, the word legend hardly seems enough for a guy who lived and breathed the club, and a truly nice guy. Each generation has its favourites, and for my generation, Joe Wark is right up there. He was quite simply the best left back I've seen at FP, and never got the recognition he deserved because he didn't play with one of the media darlings. Yet another Dosser taken before he should have - RIP sir
  5. I agree that when we pass the ball, we look like a decent team, but we seem to resort to the hump up the park way too often - I couldn't believe it when we were doing the same when Skippy came on against Accies - the big centre half hardly lost a ball in the air in the 2nd half, so how on earth did we expect Skippy to beat him in the air and create anything. MON RA DOSSERS
  6. Wouldn't disagree with most of that, though the 2nd half was poor - stopping a punt up the park to the 1 striker would be a bonus as well. Shocked and stunned ! You'll change your mind as it gets closer as you'll just swear and curse at the radio instead MON RA DOSSERS
  7. Completely agree ! Another game where the opposition have plenty of the ball, but don't look like doing much that we can't cope with, until we give away another two comedy goals - The build up to Hearts 2nd goal aside, the goals lost would be criticised at amateur level, never mind professional. It appears to me that our style of play this season is to let the opposition have the ball and they have to work hard to score - downside is we keep gifting fecking goals. Thought Moult had a pretty good game, and Skippy was much more effective in a more advanced role, but there's no getting away from the fact that we lack something creative in the middle of the park Not overly worried yet, but we need another win soon. MON RA DOSSERS
  8. Can't disagree with much of that ! Thought we were very poor, with Hearts looking no more than average, although they didn't have to be much better last night. And agreed, until the penalty, I couldn't see us lose a goal. As poor as we were, we did create a few good breaks, but the final ball never seemed to delivered or the right option. Skippy will do a job for us, but not in our half, he badly needs to be pushed up the park. He's not started the season particularly well, but I'm sure he knows that more than we do. If Fletcher isn't ready for Saturday, I'd be tempted to go with Skippy and Clarkson as the attacking options - nothing against Moult so far, but he looks lost trying to play a lone striker role. And keep it narrow when defending by all means, but the wide men disappeared last night, save for the odd occasion. We used the width to good effect in Inverness (wasn't at Utd game !), but we failed to stretch their defence too often. Dare say I could through the team and pick faults, but at this stage, it's one bad performance, so lets see if we make a better fist of things on Saturday MON RA DOSSERS
  9. If it's only the top tier that's left, it's £24 - even my Jambo mates reckon it's a pip off, but that's what it is ! MON RA DOSSERS
  10. If they don't sell them a Swincastle, I'm fecked - missing tomorrow for a wedding and work in Edinburgh MON RA DOSSERS
  11. First home game and I've a fekin wedding to go to - enjoyed Inverness , so reasonably positive about Saturday. Roll on the Jambos MON RA DOSSERS
  12. Maybe my memory of the play is clouded in the run up to ICT putting the ball out for the throw in to allow the sub on , but play did go on for a few minutes with the players off the park, and I didn't see them in a rush to play the ball out when they were going forward. Normal sequence of events is to wait on a natural break in the game to allow the sub to be made. Sorry, but in my eyes, doing what ICT did was schoolboy stuff, and they should have paid the price with Marv scoring MON RA DOSSERS
  13. Wasn't that bad, you got to sit with the prawn sannie brigade MON RA DOSSERS
  14. Was through and paid for my season last Saturday, and as long as I get the book before the season starts, I'll be happy ! MON RA DOSSERS
  15. Cracking team that was ! Willie P and Bobby Graham were a partnership made in heaven. And still smile when I think of Jim McIlwraith - if I remember correctly, he used to wear his shorts way down his legs compared to everyone else. Surprised we're changing the strip after a year, but if it's not the band, I'll happily go with a diagonal. MON RA DOSSERS
  16. Just finished McLean's autobiography and found it (as a Dosser) a great read. He covers all his professional career, but a surprising amount of the book covers his time at the Well: shouldn't be surprising given the number of years with us, but he obviously has taken the club to heart. For what it's worth, I enjoyed the pre and post Well parts of the book as well. MON RA DOSSERS
  17. If any season ticket reserve isn't taken up by close of play today, it's up for grabs tomorrow. Assume the jist is all tickets other than season tickets for the East have gone. MON RA DOSSERS

    Respect to each and every one of you - for what it's worth, those of us in the Cooper bar with were you in spirit MON RA DOSSERS
  19. I managed to get out yesterday afternoon, but the above info is correct and I think they said closing at 14.00 on Saturday. They said the East stand is as good as sold out with not much left in the Cooper ! I got my own seat, but my lad could only get one of the few seats in Row A of the East MON RA DOSSERS
  20. A couple of Edinburgh based Dons fans are desperate for us to win this - can't hide the fact that if the Sheep were playing the Bigots, I'd also be firmly in the Sheep's corner for 2 games MON RA DOSSERS
  21. Was curious on this as well. Either last season or tail end of one before, we took a big support down and pretty much filled our end - a large number of folk were buying their ticket at the wee office, and grabbed a seat wherever they could - there were a number of fans who'd obviously got their tickets from Motherwell and were far from happy at getting the dregs of the seats rather than the seat on the ticket - plenty of noise made about it, but no one was moving. Expect the same, so get there early ! MON RA DOSSERS
  22. I've nothing personal against Long, and I can't see IB dropping him, but for me, the lad looks the part, but just hasn't delivered - for a tall lad, he just doesn't command his area and by me reckoning, Dan is the better of the two. Long may well mature into a right good keeper, but he's not there yet ! Hopefully Johnstone will be fit, but either way, we have to play on the deck and through the midfield - there are times when a long punt may be the right ball, but resorting to this as a regular tactic is for me self defeating. We play and apply ourselves as we can, we win - if we don't, we better hope County have a real off day, cos we'll more than likely toil. Thinking positive. MON RA DOSSERS
  23. Like Weeyin, I'm not happy at what's been on offer this season, but I've followed my team for near 50 years, and yes there have been periods when it's been torture, but I will be at the home games, and very probably the Midden, that are left, and regardless of what division we end up in, I'll be there next year as well. I've no doubt I'll be pulling out the little hair I have left, I could well be frustrated as hell, but I'll still give what backing I can. Each to their own when it comes to making their decision, but there I'll be. MON RA DOSSERS
