Correct. Always amazes me people somehow think professional football for some unfathomable reason is beyond the reach of the law in terms of violent conduct or employment law or anything else for that matter. Not a lawyer but I defo presume UK and EU Employment law applies to footballers' contracts. Why wouldn't it?

I'd go as far to say Sportsound on R.Scotland is excellent and has been for some years. TV coverage poor to say the least. Show highlights Sat night 10.30pm then show MOTD...simples.

The Dundee Utd cup game at Tannadice 2-1 down into injury time. Big Softie fires home an equaliser after a penalty box stramash. Cue unparalled joy and mayhem in the enclousure celebrating. Course we lost midwek replay 0-1 as is our want.

Ah mind that gemme as was in the Main Stand which was unusual for me. Was covered by Sportscene (remember the days 1 game on Sportscene and 1 on Scotsport?) think we won 3-2, Cooper slipped a great ball through to the on-rushing Arnott who smashed the ball home. Same game I think Cooper won a penalty as he tried to skim past 2 Utd defenders then gave a fist-pumping YESSSS to the Well fans just yards away on the terracing.

Radio last night explained any other football association is "expected" to uphold any ban imposed here but apparently not legally binding.

My mate and I both called ticket office within an hour of tickets going on sale. Picked him up yesterday and got to the ground, he was couple of seats behind me in POD. So we thought. He then shouts over "I'm in the wrong stand" (he's not a regular and is easily confused) Sure enough, his ticket clearly says "Davie Cooper Stand". I'm thinking security guy outside turnstile checked ticket as did guy at turnstile...how did he get in??

As a wise man once said: "Andy Cameron, Jim Traynor, Chick Young & Jim White....your team took a HELLUVA beating......."

Peter Lawwell will be praying for Rangers tae win. He might have a saver of a tenner on us to hedge his bets

All I ask is that the current on-pitch custodians of the club put a shift in. I can't run for them, pass or tackle for them. Wish I had that privilege. I was at our last 1st Division game up at Forfar last day of 84/85 season, really hoping not to see another lower league game for the longest time. Up the Dossers.

I am a qualified referee and can confirm you won't find anywhere in the laws of the game where it will say a player from one of the sides cannot challenge for a drop ball. Thompson is trying to apply "law 18" common sense to get himself and linesman out of a problem they themselves created. If the ball was anywhere in the middle of the park when Thompson blew for the goal you can be sure the dropped ball there would have been contested by both sides. Would Thompson have booked Pearson if he refused to back away....hmm?? Oh and yes, on another day we'd have had 2 penalties in the first half.

FWIW Barra interviewed after game and said ref explained to him linesman shouted "play", Thompson thought he said "goal" so signalled for it. Linesman must at that point have told him his advice was lost in translation.

The sheep don't like it up 'em Couldney make it cos a family commitments. wiz parked at Pollok Country Park listening tae wireless when THAT goal went in...absalute mugnificance Well done Well & good on youse who made it up there. Wiz gon mental when they said only 1 min a injury time....canny wait tae see dons fans' faces claiming free kick taken fae wrang place. Only wan hing tae say tae them....DEAL WAE IT In Dosserdom we trust.

Same masel & embdy at this gemme wid never forget it. If ah remember it right, big Paterson actually hud a heider at 2-2 that went jist past the post for whit woulda capped a truly great comeback. Aye makes me think a big Psycho's (Greame Forbes) effort inches past against Celtic in 85 semi 5.45 into this clip

Least he didny dae an Andy Gray......"great tackle there from Christ McTart" during the Morton replay at Cappielow 91.

Chick Young......for it is he....reporting that Craig Sampson coming to Motherwell, he's not starting for St.Mirren today

Oh aye, fair doos, the walls we pished against were carefully built.....in the 1930's

Could they no have got them in Claret & Amber? :whistling: Firhill rejects?

Did UEFA have a stadium inspection this week, anyone know how it went? Don't suppose there'd be any chance of them allowing the POD north/south sections to be used with the current bucket seats? I personally think doon the front at the Cooper end at 18 yard line is a great spot.

Thanks, couldney see the trees fur the Fir Park forest there.....2 tickets duly bought. Mon the Well.

bump

Do you have to personally get to Fir Park to buy these tickets? Looks like you cannot (yet) buy them online. Says on general sale from yesterday.
