  1. 3 of us heading to Iceland :-D

     

    Although while 2 of us fly out from Manchester at 7AM on the Thursday 1 of my mates can't get Thursday off work so is flying out on the 5PM flight from Edinburgh, gets in 40 minutes before kick off! He will be lucky to see the 2nd half!!

     

    Then we are going out to get completely pished in Reykjavik till 4AM and go straight to the airport for our morning flight back! Will be the shortest 'holiday' ever for him, less than 12 hours!

     

     

    Considering the ticket situation now thats a sore one for your mate.

  2. My god Motherwell fans depress me.

     

    An attempt by the folks doing all they can to make this game a spectacle and a different experience to your run of the mill mundane SPFL fixture, and instead of a positive reaction folk are questioning the bloody name of it. One poster above correctly highlights the origins of the word "coreto" and the Italian background, however in World football it is no longer exclusively Italian. In fact most if not all 'processions' across the continent are referred to as a corteo.

     

    Excuse the attempt to bring something that bit different. 'The Motherwell Walk', fantastic.

     

     

    You'll always have one or two who criticise everything, by and large the wider support enjoy it and give great support.

  3. You mean to say Cirque du Soleil aren't performing at the Electric Bar?

     

    Or are you embarrassed at your attempts to avoid using the term 'walk'?

     

    That genuinely didn't even cross my mind until you mentioned it, I'd never considered avoiding the use of the term "walk". That fact that is the first thing that came to mind says more about you than it does the organisers of the event. Its a bit of fun, no one is forcing you to get involved.

  4. Don't think this thread has gone quite the way OP hoped.

     

    I'm hardly surprised. I'm sure those who are interested will come and join in whole those that aren't will not. If this thread has alerted even one person who would like to get involved then its served its purpose.

  5. You do know what the locals nickname the blue lagoon? Anyway as far as going out for a wee drive. Let me know. Would cost about £30 each if three of us but that would get a car for all day Saturday to see some sights and transport back to airport for flight on Sunday. I'm ok with driving as I won't be drinking much

     

    Ideal, i'll be in touch.

  6. Theres a big group of us heading to the blue lagoon on the friday and while the majority are flying home friday night, two of us are staying out until Sunday and then flying back to Manchester. I'd be up for this but i'm not sure what my mate wants to do, hes down in London for the Libertines but i'll speak to him when hes back up the road and let you know.

  7. If hes playing Football Manager though theres no way hes leaving out bog standard SPFL players he paid 15 million for just to convince them to come to Motherwell after cheating and giving them a £300 million war chest. He wins as well, so he knows what hes talking about.

  8. I agree about the defence, they are a solid enough unit and i'd only really fault them at set pieces. From open play the majority of goals have been lost because of the massive gap between the midfield and defence which has caused the centre halfs to come bombing out leaving space in behind. My hope for next season is that we can either move Paul Lawson on and bring in a defensive midfielder or finally get him to hit some form.

  9. Wow. I've got 4 exams next week so didn't have the option of heading up and I nearly patched it on tele as well, so glad I didn't. I'm just gutted I missed the scenes at the end, there will be some absolutely howling bruises tomorrow morning after that celebration.
