  1. aye congrats and all the best. Just goes to prove that with a little luck and a lot of booze even the ugliest of folk can get their hole.......

     

    There's no need to bring my missus into it, but thanks for your kind wishes anyway...

  2. I bought mine, a long-sleeved home top, this morning. As soon as I got home, I had a ham shank and pulled a sleeve clean off. Very poor quality. Puma GTF.

     

     

    So where did your dad go on holiday...?

  3. Seeing as how you are here, how come the show is only 25 mins on the podcast? I got all excited on the train this morning when Stuart said it was a 2 hour show so I am sure you can understand my disappointment at just how much of Martin Hardie's patter I missed...

     

     

    Podcasts not my forte, but the full show is on iPlayer. Although why waste time at the computer if trains get you all excited? Pop down to Motherwell station - there's a big choo-choo leaving Platform 1 in about ten minutes time. Don't forget your Kleenex.

  4. My Mrs widnae let me text in how she asked in a posh gallery if the owner had any more paintings by the same author she could buy :notworthy:

     

     

    Don't worry, I can assure you that will be broadcast on the show next week... :nod:

  5. We did - a fair few times - although the guy doing it was/is 84 and it was written, in most part, by the bold and best of the Scottish media...

     

    A bad workman always blames the tools! (But don't tell them I said that)

    Typos happen all the time. My favourite was in the Motherwell Times years ago before a charity game in Bellshill featuring a few ex-Motherwell players.

    They meant to say it was an "Old Crocks" game - but missed out the all-important 'r'...!

  6. Main point he made was that there has apparently been two "solid" bids for Reynolds.

    Also, when asked to describe the pitch in one word he said: "Excellent."

    Had to bin all questions about his age as, after congratulating him on his 70th just before the show started, it became crystal clear he didn't want us to labour the point during the programme. Fair enough.

  7. To celebrate the 70th birthday today of Craig Brown, the BBC is rolling out the red carpet and inviting him as a special guest on Off The Ball on Radio Scotland this Saturday between 1pm and 3pm.

    All birthday messages and, more importantly, questions about the forthcoming season greatly appreciated and the best ones will be put to CB live on air.

  8. No need for abuse son, let's keep it civil eh?

     

    What's the problem, does the truth hurt or something?

     

    You support your team, I support mine, and my team The Accies are very much the team of tomorrow and we will be up there challenging for the top three places within the next few years whilst you battle it out at the foot of the table to avoid relegation.

     

    It's advisable to wear sunscreen in this weather...

  9. Ur right mate........he's well over rated... in fact he's a p***k. Reviewing restaurants is all he's good for... he certainly aint a comedian. How anybody finds the boy amusing is beyond me. Even at school he was an overweight tosser who was the whipping boy of the hard men.

     

    Maybe that's why he's got such a chip on his shoulder.

     

    Okay, might have been a tosser (think I was actually masturbating from about second year) but was always built like an anorexic rake at school, so gie's peace ya sad bawbag. Was going to say "get a life" but considering you were bashing that pish into your keyboard at FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, I'm afraid it's far too late. Say hello to yer maw...

  10. On a serious note, I've wondered for some time now why there's not a Greggs franchise inside every football ground. They know how to delivery flaky pastry to the masses and their grub is 1000 times better than anything you'll get at any stadium in Scotland.

    Punters would be delighted and the club would get an extra £350 courtesy of new season-ticket holder Michelle McManus...

  11. Just check the website given earlier and grab a sponsor sheet - the fact it's leaving from the Phil O'Donnell Stand will hopefully make as many Motherwell fans turn out as possible. Obviously a Tuesday but Eileen really wanted it on the anniversary and it is the week between Christmas and New Year, so good for traffic, roads, schools, etc. Hopefully a good turn out and, dare I say it, shades of the march in Nancy if enough Well fans turn out...

    Come if you can.

    Syd.

  12. On Tuesday, December 29 - the second anniversary of Phil O’Donnell’s tragic death - a special fundraising walk is taking place between Fir Park, Motherwell and Celtic Park, Glasgow.

    (Incidentally, thanks to the constant roadworks on the M74, walking is probably the quickest way to make this particular journey...)

    It’s the brainchild of Phil’s widow Eileen who, along with her four kids, will be leading the 10-mile hike to raise money for The British Heart Foundation and Mary’s Meals.

    As well as persuading many of Phil’s former Motherwell and Celtic team-mates to take part, Eileen is hoping loads of fans from all across Scotland - particularly the Well punters - will pull on the walking boots to pay tribute to the legendary No10.

    So, if you fancy a wee stroll to help work off the festive fayre and want to lose a few pounds while gaining a few pounds for two great charities, check out the website (www.walk10for10.com) for full details and the chance to download a sponsorship form.

    The last time Phil made the journey from Motherwell to Parkhead, back in 1994, the sum involved was £1.75m.

    Please help Eileen raise another huge amount on December 29.

     

    Right... who's up for it???

  13. A wee question came up during last night's game and I was wondering if anyone knows the right answer - Who was Motherwell's first black player?

    Benito Kemble and Eliphas Shivute were both mentioned.

    As, of course, were Paul Wilson and Kenny Black.

    Well...?

  14. Good to see you had a good time delboy. Surprised to see Jim Gannon there right enough. Don't think McGhee ever attended these fan nights. Was it all long sleeved shirts that was given out mate? Any mention of sponsorship for next year?

     

    Wee bit unfair on Mark McGhee, Finlay, as he attended last year's sponsor night at The Shawlands Hotel, the game show night at the Mega Bar and took part in the Q&A at the night for Phil O'Donnell.
