Apologies in advance, long winded post 🙂 I started going to Motherwell with my da' (because my old man was a 'Well fan when he was younger) in about 1972/3 and got my first season ticket (old main stand, 5 rows back, 5 seats in) in '75 for the start of the new 10 team premier league. A few games into the season, we played Rangers and the row in front of me was full of their fans. This was my first experience of them (aged about 12). A sat with my old man and we were sat between a couple of folk that some on here may know. Don St John, a disabled club singer and Andy Edgar (later to become Hamilton Accies photographer). Early in the game, Don called John Grieg a 'clown' and was harassed, threatened, had a punch swung at him and was told for the whole game that he was 'getting it' down the back stairs. Over the years, I've witnessed and ended up sadly getting involved in numerous and regular altercations with their fans in the main stand. Call it luck, call it whatever, but I've never actually had to deal with that kind of shit from Celtic fans. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying they don't have cunty fans as well, i've just never had to deal with any. As a result of these experiences at a young age, it gave me a really deep seated hatred of them (chuck in the 95/96 cup semi for good measure). Celtic to me are just another team that I love seeing us beat, along with any other team we play but I have to admit I get that extra wee spring in my step when we pump the currant buns. None of this has anything to do with religion or background. If I followed a team cause of where I went to school i'd be a h*n and if I followed my pals from my childhood who i played football with up the park, i'd probably, on balance, be a tim. I'm neither. I'm a Motherwell fan and have inflicted the same on my kids 🙂 I certainly don't hate Rangers more than I love Motherwell and I certainly don't have any 'sympathies' for the other lot.

When i was driving home before the game, Radio Scotland were full of how they were going to win and win comfortably today after the big comeback against Killie. Whoever was speaking was saying people were underestimating the effect Ferguson would have on them. 'He won't stand for any nonesense' was used a couple of times. get it right up them. C**ts !!!

Fucking brilliant !!!!! No better feeling than sticking it up them at their own wee den ! Pound Shop Klopp Humbles Pound Shop Club !

83 mins.........20 mins to go......come on Motherwell !!!!!!!!!!!!

The same as he was on Wednesday. Not concentrating.

Fuck.....

Balmer needs to fuckin stop giving the ball away around our box. Thats about the 4th !!!!

Holy Fuck !!!!!

Kofi Balmer is fucking useless.

Can only really be big Dan but there were a number of noteworthy performances tonight

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS FT. Thank fuck for that !!!!!

BIG DAN THE FUCKIN' MAN !!!!!!

Think Slats, Andrews and Armstrong all look a bit fucked this half, but the amount of running they did in the first half it's understandable. We need to freshen up.

Surprised Dundee took Astley off. I thought he'd never give up.... Sorry Grizzly.....

Best bit of football in months and armstrong lets the ball run under his foot !!!

Big Dan The Man !!!!!!! YYYYAASSSSSS

Pressing well so far...

Next time we're looking for a manager, you should start a rumour that Thom Bollah is up for the job and see how long it takes to get in the Sun or the Record.

Genius or tombola......you decide !

So, is it 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 (or to be more accurate 5-4-1 or 4-5-1) ???????? None of the recent 'loaners' make the bench.

He'll be gone in three months with the papers calling him The Poundshop Jurgen Flopp.

Absolutely this. The last time we had a good defense was McGinn- Butcher - Casey. McGinn has organizational skills and bags of experience, Butcher was dominant and aggressive and Casey is just Casey. Aggressive but maybe not the best but he had two very experienced men with him. The new manager has looked at what he had and decided that was the best he could put on the park at the time, as did the previous one. If you think you could fix our defensive problems by dropping SOD you're borderline insane. Also, Dalby is one of the top scorers in the league, he's big, good in the air and dangerous. Should we not have had Gordon on him like a rash rather than a RB making do as a central defender ?

My question would be why is o'donnell marking their tall central goal scoring striker for a cross and not gordon ?

I feel a meltdown coming.......and possibly a 'manager is an oot of depth idiot that doesn't learn' thread,,........

Can imagine there's going to be a lot of hitting refresh about 1.45pm tomorrow on the twitter and facebook feeds...
