Probably mentioned elsewhere but looks like wur on BBC Alba 5.30pm showing the full game. Whit's the gaelic fur "Mon the Dossers!"?

I for one congratulate the SPL (aye ah ken, world's first) for thinking outside the square rectangle and also the club for embracing the Friday night gemme and coming up with some ideas how to entice people along. I am a football traditionalist and was trying to remember the first time I went to a game (born '67) that did not kick-off at 3pm Saturday. Sure it wisny afore 1990. I remember seeing the BBC documentary on the Clydebank Blitz of 1941 and there was a guy saying he was a kid at the time and his kid brother was "playing with a potato" when a bomb crashed through their tenament. For forms of entertainment, you had the wireless (still got that), playing outside (sort of still got that if you can dodge the cars) and playing with root vegetables! But guess what, nowadays there's a myriad of ways to spend your entertainment sheckle and fitba at the current price level and perceived value is probably further down the totem pole than the effing X-factor. At a tenner for an adult admission, now the match is at a price level where it's somewhat affordable and I hope we can get at least 7000 there officially. Reason gemmes started at 3pm Saturday in the 1880's and beyod is cos men (for it was them) worked a half-day on Saturday and it gave time for most away supporters who wanted to travel the time to get to the match. Fitba as a business is no different to any other in that it has to adapt to the times and search for ways to be profitable. Well done the club and let's embrace this in a positive fashion. Time and tide wait for no club.

Could be true but 81.7% of statistics are meaningless. I'll get ma coat.....

Ah the little joys in life....... Radio 5 Live just reporting "Rangers visit SPL leaders Motherwell today......"

You're not wrong. You can get the ball all ye want but if you take any of the player INTENTIONAL OR OTHERWISE it's a free-kick according to the laws of the game. The only offence that must be deliberate to be penalised is handball. I'm wondering how many players realise this

1pm up north apparently http://www.scottishf...ond-round-draw/

How many times is he allowed to say "if this story's not true then I'm finished....". Does anyone anywhere really take him seriously? Canny say I like Traynor fact ah hate that stumshie but loved it when he tore fitba's biggest Rangers supporting "St.Mirren fan" a new one last season on the wireless.

Nope. But what would us Dossers be if we're no allowed some early-season pessimism, would we rather have a cracking day in the sun with a turgid 0-0 or 0-1, or horizontal rain for 90 mins with a 3-0 scoreline? Either way....UP THE DOSSERS....let's be tap ae the league by 4.45....

Rangers fans may say that Watty is a "LEGNED" but John Boyle to us is a LEGEND. Yes he's only human, he's made mistakes but you don't get to be a successful businessman without doing so. HE THE MAN. "To walk only on sunny days is to never reach your destination"

Ehhhh....isn't any% of nought still nuhin?

Jist remember, it's 60 years (1951) since the Well were behind in a Scottish Cup Final

Aye did that an oor ago and after listening to messages about games that have already been played, it ends with a cheery GOODBYE

Absolutely valid point you have but being away I knew I was having to rely on the fishal ballot. Time yet for this Dosser to be there here's hoping, having said that..........embdy got 2 tickets fur South Stand?

For us genuine Motherwell fans who are still without a ticket or a call from the ballot it is sickening to hear the "fans" of other teams who are easily strolling up and collecting tickets. Give the club some beers and ask them if if they can organise a piss-up.

They'd better not, that's after deciding NOT to give everyone who signed up a simple email back confirming they have your request and we had better just wait. Here we are less than 6 days to go and I have no idea if I am to get a ticket and I'm told not to call them. If I do get a ticket then will need to scramble to get transport sorted out....very poor....must do better next year :whistling: Bring back the spirit of 52 and 91 I say....sell the effing tickets fae the shop and doon the toon.

Did emdy get some automated email after signing up to be notified for tickets on general sale? I didney and hoping it's because they didn't set it up to do that rather than my application being lost in claret n' amber cyberspace.

Only time I was in the main stand at parkheid was when wee Johnny Gaghan put us 1-0 up they equalised and at some point in the second haulf I stood up and shouted for the hordes of unwashed around me to hear "C'mon Motherwell intae this shite...". To my great surprise I didney get ma heid kicked in. And ohhh....when the Shimmy King Robert Russell slotted in an 89th minute winner I just stood up arms aloft...nuff said.

Ye wull see 2 of them the night as managers, Norwich v. Forest, Lambert v. Davies. If they were both promoted, that would make it 5 teams in English Premier league wae ex-Well players in charge. Birmingham - big Eck Wigan - Martinez Bolton - Coyle Norwich - Lambert Forest - Davies wae McAllister being assistant at Villa Not bad furra wee team fae Lanarkshire.

20,574 for first game and 13,173 for the replay.

Ohhhhh.......THAT game. Was 7 then and finding out that result made me realise I was a Dosser. All I knew was something about "4 steps....Rennie...1-0", didn't make sense to a 7 year old.

Seeing the look on Tam Boyd's face when he lifted the cup, somewhere atween "canny believe this is happening" tae "this is fur youse lot on the terracing". Driving back tae Fir Park and soon as ye goat off the M74 there wiz people on the road waving taw everyone coming back. Wull never forget the roar as the thronged masses saw the team bus come into view near the grun and inch it's way tae the front door, joyful bedlam indeed. Ah'm no supertsitious or believe in fate but fae Jan-May that year I did wunnar: ah worked in a casino which meant back shifts & night shifts and withoot asking for any change in shifts I somehow goat all the shifts off that I needed tae get tae every gemme, fae the Saturday gemmes tae the Morton replay and the 2 Sellick midweek gemmes. Oh and by the way work, when ah called in Sunday 19th May tae say ah wisney well, ah wiz actually calling in fae a public phonebox in the toon oan ma way tae a Glesgy pub fur mair celebrations. :evilgrin:

Not showing on any channels http://www.livesportontv.com/football/ Should be on the wireless Radio Scotland MW, not sure about online though as they've not published listings yet.

Went to the Junior Cup 1/4 final yesterday Dalry Thistle v. Kirkintilloch (don't ask) and even in the Juniors baith teams come oot the gither like the 'guins at Embra Zoo. Goat me thinking...ah much preferred it when the teams came oot on their ain. Booing wae our hearts content when the other team ran oot at Fir Park then raising the terracing roof when the Well came oot. Something majical seeing Joe Wark leading the troops oot wae his familiar gait. Ah want teams coming oot withoot shaking hauns wae all in sundry and let's have goalies swinging on the crossbar again. Whit's Shuggie Sproat daeing nooadays anyway?

Dirty cheat Dickwullie will be lucky tae get a gemme fur the Bar-L's team when he gets there
