  1. All of us go to games to support motherwell, aka back them up, support the players and create as much atmosphere and colour, not to fukin moan, and greet about a smoke bomb beeing lit off as it blocked your view for a minute or too!

     

    I cant actually remember hearing any motherwell songs on saturday. Maybe if you did sing some motherwell songs people would join in. The songs that are sung are completely cringeworthy. Yes, the one about randolph was funny the first time but now its sung all the time and getting a bit old, same about the bob mchugh one and also the marky reynolds one. I was thinking all the wee boys had learned a new word and had to sing about it in every song. That isnt supporting the players. Im not sure Jamie Murphy up front will hear any of the songs and think "oh i better try a bit harder because they are singing about our goalie and a Saturday"!!! etc etc

     

    I agree with the guy that said he is sick of all the "im a better fan than". Well, i afraid that just because you sing does not mean you are a better fan than people who do not sing.

  2. Had to laugh when the silent well fans made the biggest noise of the game shouting "at the wee neds" when the smoke blocked their view for a few minutes. :)

     

    oh yes because it is absolutely hilarious that people were there to watch the game :lol::O

     

    as has been said our goalie's vision could have been affected so it was completely idiotic. can someone inform me how letting off smoke bombs "creates an atmosphere?"

  3. Once again all the "im a bigger fan because i shout" "i pay my money ill do what i want" carry on starts.

     

    FWIW, I dont sing at the games and in no way does this make me less of a fan than someone who sings for the full 90 mins. We got tickets for the end of the east stand and eventually got moved to the south stand because I paid for a seat, I want to be able to sit in it. I couldnt see at all, wasnt interested in standing up and singing and also, I had a back op recently and it was hurting me to stand. My point is everyone may have their own reasons for not "creating an atmosphere" as it were.

     

    It is up to the individual how they want to act. Here we go again, the boo boys, the happy clappys etc etc. Give yourself a break and act how you want and dont bother about anyone else. Your wasting your time. If the first poster thinks because he posted here that the POD stand will sing at the game on sunday his head is in the clouds. No one can tell anyone else how to act at a game.

  4. You werent down yesterday at about 3pm were you? If so, unbelievable. Kicked up stink for a good 10 minutes that the normal season ticket seats had been sold and then kept asking for specific seats around the cooper stand.

     

    Nah, that wasnt me. Like i said i knew it was my fault because i was late down and didnt think it would be a sell out.

  5. The east wont be full as they dont sell the seats round about the pillars. They need permission from the H&S officer today to open the south to home fans as well.

     

    Got really rubbish seats. Although i admit i should have went earlier it really bugs me that someone who doesnt go to the home games might be sitting on my ST seat.

  6. I thought Reynolds was shocking, never a left back. The space he had was unbelievable - something that would have suited Hammell if he was fit & O'brien perfectly to link up down that left side. I was shouting at the team to switch it to the left before getting so angry that Reynolds didnt both to make himself known and was quite happy to let the game on saturday pass him by. I cant understand the decision by JG to have Reynolds mark someone who i had never even heard of - players like mcgeady who can cause you problems i agree with marking them - but Allan Johnstone? WTF was that about?!?

     

    Anyway - onwards and upwards eh :D

  7. Or any other Saturday!

     

    For the record, I won't be there on Saturday. Will never set foot in either of the bigots middens again due to the (jobsworth) stewards and (shitebag) police on duty at these games.

     

    i dont get that. You dont go to watch the stewards or police. You go to watch the game which shouldnt bring you any trouble if you focus on the game and ignore the home fans. Something else i dont get is our fans that go to the OF games just to cause bother and wind up the other fans. A few seasons ago, we were stuck behind an idiot that done nothing but stand up and shout to the other fans (cant remember which ones) it costs you more than £20 to go and you dont bother with the game? :) more money than sense

  8. Got a freebie for this so will be going along behind enemy lines, hopefully we can sneak something, absolutely no reason to fear them.

     

    I could have as well. But decided I wouldnt be able to sit in amongst the Celtic fans and keep my mouth shout if we scored. I always get more worked up at OF games so chances are id let the cat out of the bag.

     

    I dreamt we were 4-0 up within the first 17 mins*. So ill go with that :rolleyes:

     

    * Of course the fact Pierre Van Hooijdonk (sp) Samaras and Steven Whittaker were all in the Celtic team doesnt matter.

     

    Seriously, I think we'll get something on Saturday. Ill go for a corner on 88th min, with a Sutton header to win 1-0. Or a scrappy 1-1 with a pen and someone sent off hopefully mcdonald.

  9. was gutted at result, thought the boys played fantastic. i would have maybe started with mchugh up front in place of sutton with murphy alongside him. Just someone with a bit of pace specifically to tire Weir out even more, and if we bagged a goal, great if not then bring sutton on.

     

    i think for dundee utd next week, we need to rethink the situation up front. we cant play sutton and murphy together when sutton is up front him self. murphy is posted missing unless he is upfront with a.n other. nothing against the boy as i think he has great potential.

  10. What I do find interesting, Flow, is that Moutaoukil is referred to as Signing #7. Unless my maths are crap (they are), does this mean that Michael Fraser is not considered one of our summer signings? Indicative of where he features in JGs thoughts...? ;)

     

    i might be wrong but im sure he signed a pre-contract last jan, so wouldnt be included in the summer signings

  11. although i agree that it was unacceptable, what made me more angry was the fact that that band of supporters were the atmosphere in the park and obviously well heard within the ground. So why not sing motherwell songs and cheer on the team you paid to watch and, em, support?

  12. rather than being the end of craigan, im pleased our manager can make "strange" subs if he feels it will change the game. compare with mcghee who, while losing, wouldnt change anyone. the message to the players is that no one is safe, so hopefully this will give them a boot up the backside. it will also be hard for other managers to cope with changing teams, formations etc and adjust to our play which we can benefit from if they cant keep up.

  13. if the young boys dont crack under pressure then i see us getting top 6. really like the look of gannan and what he has been offering so far. the one thing i will say is that he has to be careful not to burn forbes, slane & murphy to a lesser extent etc out.

  14. Havent been on since last week so someone can delete if this has been answered elsewhere.

     

    Was checking ticket info for thur and this confused me "Tickets will be on sale from the Fir Park Ticket Office tomorrow from 10am to 1pm and this coming Fair Monday (9.30am – 4.30pm). Additionally tickets will be available up until 7pm at the Excelsior Stadium on the day of the match but to avoid queuing fans are advised to purchase tickets before hand if possible."

     

    Does this mean if we dont get them today then they will only be available at the Excelsior on thursday night? Or am i reading it wrong?

  15. My season ticket tells me which seat is reserved for me and I carry the booklet with me each time I go to FP so I can show anybody sitting there that the seat is already reserved in my name.

     

    There's better things to do with time and money than update the name badges on each reserved seat.

     

    Do you think? Got to disagree with you on that one. If its offered to people then the club need to stay on top of it. Solution? They shouldn't offer it. Remove all name badges, but all the ST seats should have reserved signs, and there should be a few posters up to show non ST's that they are reserved. When someone doesnt renew and the seat isnt taken up, remove the sign (which can be re-used when needed)

     

    My seat has a name and reserved, my dad's just has reserved so some people might assume his seat is available as there is no name.
