  1. Good stuff. In the first video does anyone know what the stadium was with the big brick factory building in the background?

    Europe

    Let's qualify by winning the Scottish Cup!
  3. Ya Bezzer!

    Europe

    Remember though that that was the last season of 2 points for a win. 54 points these days just about guarantees a Top Six place although I think this season the number of points needed to qualify for Europe or get into the Top Six will be lower than usual due to the number of draws and the fact that no teams have really put together a strong unbeaten run.
  4. Well a lot of teams play the 4-2-3-1 system (or variant) these days which is suited to counter attacking football and therefore away sides.
  5. Well St. Johnstone beat us easily at Fir Park with a lot to spare. Jamie Adams and Kevin Moon completely dominated the middle of the park yet I'm sure most 'Well supporters would say they are shite and couldn't lace Jennings and Lasley's boots. They have a very good defence (only OF and Hearts have conceded less) and they have players like Jody Morris, Murray Davidson, Chris Millar (superb at Fir Park), Liam Craig and Francesco Sandaza in the middle and up front. All good SPL players. They also taken points off both the Old Firm this season and only lost 2 out of their last 13 league matches. I'm not sure how you can describe them as poor given their form and the fact that they beat us so easily last time.
  6. At least its away from home! I'd think about going but the only league away match I've been to this season was Kilmarnock so I'm obviously not a lucky mascot at the moment.
  7. Looked at a league table recently? If St. Johnstone beat us next week at their place they are only 1 point behind us. Fair enough if we win it opens up a gap again but its a bit of a 6 pointer next Saturday.
  8. Born in Bridgeton. Mainly raised in Newarthill (When I was a kid I used to walk to Fir Park and back!). Lived in various areas of Glasgow on and off but Motherwell is 'home' and I've been living just down the road from Fir Park for the last 10 years. Would be off in a shot but I've nae money!
  9. Hibs had a decent support through tonight - probably due to it being Fenton's first match and the cheap prices at the away end. Take away their 1,500...not a big difference from an average attendance.
  10. I'd give pass marks against Celtic even though we didn't create many chances and the LC match against Hibs was at least exciting but after that, like you, I have to go back to the first day of the season.
  11. I make it 7 out the last 8 home performances absolutely pish. I'm actually getting a bit annoyed now with the standard of fare at Fir Park these days. Sure, we are third have a great points tally but if you only make it to the home matches this season has been pretty grim.
  12. That was absolutely brutal tonight - one of the worst games I've ever seen. Glad it was abandoned!
  13. It's worthwhile as an experiment but I'd say that unless it attracts significantly more supporters than a Saturday game we should stick to Saturdays. I won't not go to any match I can get along to but it does seem like a bit of a pain. I work in Glasgow and I don't get back to Motherwell until between 6 - 6.30pm so its not especially convenient for me and I suspect many others. It will be interesting to see how many supporters Hibs bring along, as their support is dwindling by the week regardless of kick off times!

    Dundee Utd

    Didn't really think there was a stand out but I'd probably go for Nicky Law who I thought was neat and tidy in poor conditions.
  15. For some reason I seem to remember us playing Queens Park twice in recent seasons. Of course there was the Ritchie hat trick match at Hampden but I can't quite remember anything about the 'other' match - is it false memory syndrome?
  16. I don't get to say this phrase very often these days but I'm 'too young' to remember Joe Wark. Obviously Boyd played at left back but I seem to remember him popping up all over the place and being a bit of a utility player. Some times full back, some times defence, some times midfield, both wide and middle. He's not someone I remember as being a left back in the same way as Stevie Hammell is a left back or Rob McKinnon was. McKinnon has been the best in my time. I don't think anyone has mentioned it but on my first trip up to Aberdeen Rab scored a pearler of a free kick, think Alex Burns scored the other goal if I remember correctly.
  17. I wasn't at the game today so can't really comment on what happened but I can make some general points. It's against the law to stand in a seated area and the clubs are responsible for making sure the law is upheld. Therefore one can hardly complain if asked to sit down or removed for consistently disobeying instructions. However, the stewards and police also have a responsibility to treat people with respect, to behave and react in a way appropriate to the situation and perhaps most important off all, not to artificially create a flash point or dangerous situation themselves by enforcing a 'safety' measure. Unfortunately people become entrenched in a 'cause'. Officials to make sure fans do not stand, no matter what, thereby often causing scenes which are more dangerous than they would otherwise be. And fans who sometimes defiantly go out of their way to disobey the law, wind up stewards and behave rowdily towards those enforcing the law. We need some common sense from all sides on this. However, if a small group of fans stand in the back rows of the stand, thereby not blocking the view of seated supporters, and who are merely supporting the team, then I don't see how ejecting fans can really be justified from a safety perspective.
  18. Pearson was capped while at Motherwell. Brian Martin should have won more caps. At big Buffs peak Dave McPherson was regularly picked for Scotland! Phil O'Donnell only won 1 cap which hardly reflected his ability.

    Celtic

    Hammell and Lasley for me. I'm tempted to sway towards Hammell since it was his 400th game but I'll go for Lasley.
  20. But Celtic weren't that good. As I said I think Celtic probably deserved the narrow win today but they are not some footballing juggernaut. If we hadn't conceded so soon after we took the lead, a goal that came from a simple error, it's quite easy to speculate we would have won, or at least not lost. If Celtic gave that level of performance for the rest of the season they would lose 5 or 6 more matches. They are not that good.
  21. I've not seen the TV replays but it looked to me that Celtic had a stonewall penalty turned down so we can't grumble much about the referee.
  22. Also, Stokes, complete fucking wanker.
  23. At least we can hold our heads up high after that defeat until some of the recent ones. Can't fault the team for effort but we created very little in the second half especially and if you are being honest about it Celtic probably deserved a narrow win. However, if we show the teamwork and effort we did today we won't lose very many over the season.
  24. Of course Randolph is better than a lot of goalkeepers than have gone for more money but that's not how transfers work. The buying club isn't a charity, it's trying to get the player for the least amount it can and they know small clubs desperately need money. Better to think of transfer fees as a percentage of the clubs turn over. Randolph was at Albion Rovers no one would pay more than £50,000 for him. We can get more than that and if Randolph was a Liverpool player he'd be going for about £4 million. Obviously we should try and get as much money for him as we can possibly negotiate but if he goes for £600K having got him for nothing and had two great seasons out of him, you can't really mumble too much. As for Leeds Utd, Randolph made probably the biggest clanger in his Motherwell career against them so I'm a bit surprised if that's true!
  25. Always thought Las had a bit of Derek Smalls about him.
