Jim O'Rourke hat-trick IIRC.

Bet Paul Quinn will disagree with you on that one, especially late in the first half

Beating Hertz 4-2 after being 2-0 down early 70s Texaco Cup - remember it was more than a bit wild that night as well. Beating St Mirren 2-1 in front of 26 thousand plus at Fir Park - Feb 1977. That day will always stick with me, credit to the Buds who brought a phenomenial support through with them. Westfalenstadion Stadium - awesome, have to be say i enjoyed that more than Nancy.

The Boxing Day fixtures asap please

Always have been - probably aways will be.

Is there two Hughes in the squad, there had better be !!!!

In the present financial climate attendances everywhere are going to drop. Look at just about everything else that you buy at the moment (fuel, food, house prices) it is coming down in price due to current trading conditions. Football sticks its head in the sand and does nothing (well apart from one club who decide to slash prices for a couple of clubs). Does football believe it is trading in a different market than the rest of the planet? Bottom line is that if you have the choice of feeding your kids/paying your mortgage or shelling out over inflated prices for the sub entertainment that now masquerades as the SPL then there isnt actually a choice to be made in the long run.

Thats what is so laughable about the whole 'Well Boys thing, it is as if these laddies are the first to actually do this kinda stuff at the club, they tend to get a but of publicity now in this age of t'internet, but it has all been done before. Most folk kinda grow out of it when adolescence kicks in a folk realise that football isnt the be all and end all when there are mortgages to pay and mouths to feed. Am not having a go at the laddies each to their own and all that.

Quite rightly so!!! Its called banter - get over it

As much as I agree with your sentiment, basic supply and demand logic dictates otherwise

I have been undecided about my renewal since 'the initiative' was first mentioned and proceedings at FP in the interim have done nothing to encourage me towards parting with my cash in the summer, indeed, I now feel so alienated from the club that I have followed for more years than I care to mention, that I have started to wonder whether I would miss going to matches or not, remarkably I am not that bothered at the moment. People on these boards are moaning about everything from A-Z regarding the club at the moment and rightly so, they are nothing short of a shambles on and off the field. The only way to hurt the powers at be is to hit them in the pocket, season tickets make up the majority of the clubs finances, if the amount of people who have claimed not to be renewing don't renew then there will be a big hole in the clubs finances. Of course, lack of finance equals lack of quality (are we not there already?) equals 1st division football, been there done that, not the end of the world. Time to put up or sell up board members.

For the stattos out there Have we ever won a live Setanta match ?

Have you not just contridicted yourself? The mere fact that a significantly weakened Killie beat us without getting out of first gear would indicate that we are indeed as bad as people are making out. No doubt our esteemed managed will have found a few positives from tonght to share with us

Accies only have to score once, our mob will spend the entire match trying to line up the coos erse with the banjo and fail miserably

OK I will bite. What colour is the sky at your current location. He is gash has always been so in a Motherwell shirt and only gets a decent press due to his former employers in Scotland. Brian Kerr 2.0

McGhee GTF and take the rest of the overhyped overpaid prima donnas with you. If you can get Stephen 'The Imposter' Hughes into the premiership and a bumper wage packet, maybe you get on the phone to Downing Street and sort out the world finiancial crisis when you get a spare minute.

Rumour has it we are trailing a working USH, but scouts report that it blows hot and cold

Here Here!! Thought about the maintainance issue. Wonder if it still under warranty? Have we taken out a five year plan? Will the insurance company pay out on any SPL fine ?? Never a dull moment following MFC

The buck stops at the club on this. Who else can MFC blame for the (partial or complete) failure of the Fir Park USH system?

The fact that Saturdays match was off and a SPL investigation has been launched would indicate that something somewhere has indeed gone wrong.

As if we were going to spend money during Jan. Still think the points deduction is a serious option for the SPL board to look at as MFC have a bit of 'previous' in this kind of thing

A big boy switched it off and ran away

A points deduction might just knock a few heads together at boardroom level
