Such as.....?

Jings...!!!!! Do people still go to friendlies

Aye, three rolls of anaglypta and 5 litres of brilliant white emulsion.

Still the best 'Well away trip Ive been on. Should have gotten a better result over there after the performance we put in.

12 goals conceded in less than 180 mins shocking at ANY level of the game

FFS, we haven't even got a corpse yet and you are trying to feed, at least wait till we have something to go on and allow it to cool first.

Defensively we have been murder tonight, both goals were down to rank bad defending nothing else. Worryingly for this weekend, I think Dundee Utd are a far better footballing side than the one who have just beat us tonight.

As a Motherwell season ticket holder I have felt compelled to email you my thoughts on our set of fixtures. My understanding is that clubs are 'seeded' to finish in the same section of the league that they did during the previous season, if this happens then all teams have 19H and 19A matches throughout the season. This season Motherwell have bettered and Aberdeen have done worse than their 'seeding' would have indicated, however Motherwell have ended up with 18 home matches and Aberdeen have 20 home matches, which has rewarded failure on their part by an added home fixture and any subsequent financial income that come with that. Motherwell have lost a home match and have also lost a post split match against Celtic and Rangers and the finance income that goes along with both of these issues. Our two home matches post split have been have been scheduled for 16:15 next Sunday and 19:45 on General Election night, again this will have an financial impact on my club. It strikes me as very odd indeed that the SPL and television companies can schedule these games for these dates and times, but 'certain other games' have to be played at particular times as ordered by Strathclyde Police. Season ticket holders like myself are the lifeblood of clubs everywhere, when the SPL start 'jigging' fixtures around to suit their own agenda, to the disadvantage of people like myself, then the same people may start to look at their annual investment in a very different light. It is time to get rid of this farcical split.

As said elsewhere we have basically swapped with Aberdeen, had we finished in the bottom six as we were expected to finish we would have had 3H and 2A making 19H and 19A. If you check Aberdeens fixtures they will probably have 3H and 2A post split making a 20H and 18A season for them. Another anomaly of the split, we have bettered our 'seeded' finishing position and are penalised for it and Aberdeen have fell short of theirs and find themselves better off for it. The reason that neither of the OF ever find themselves in this situation is that they always finish in the same section of the league that they are supposed to. If I was being harsh I would say that this is down to our final league position last season, but in reality WTF has that got to do with events on the field this season.

So a home win on Tuesday night then :lol:

Derek Adams was never a 'duffer'....Craig on the other hand.

Anybody got a plan 'B' ??

Copied and pasted from 'Business end of the season thread' ************************************************* If things finish the way they are at the moment in the league and the fixtures are done the way that they are supposed to be done, we would take up Aberdeens final 5 fixtures and they would take on ours. That would see us at home to Rangers and Hibs and away for the other three. St Johnstone making the top 6 would throw a spanner in the works as they couldn't directly take on anybody elses fixtures. The SPL will probably prove me wrong again ************************************************** Giving us a 18H 20A season. Hope that I'm wrong

Was it Snooker, Pool or Billiards ?

You should have asked him to give a graphic description of the first 15 seconds of Joe Warks testimonial. Game kicks off ball goes back to the big fella who wheels rounds to pass it back to Stuart Rennie only to find out that he was standing about eight feet behind him, still the quickest own goal I have ever seen!!

SSN reporter saying it was a shocking tackle, over the ball deserved exactly what it got!!

After firstly hearing about Lanarkshires micro-climate on here, we now hear about the first known instance of vegetarian foxes............. This forum is indeed the fountain of all knowledge

That will be easily solved, all we do is wheel out one of the HCCs 'Comical Alis' who will defend everything that is claret and amber related to the hilt even if it is plain wrong and let them loose on the media.

Goan the MJC correcto again!!!!! Some folk on here need to take a reality check when it comes to supporting Motherwell

Dunno about the team going up there with a 'Billy bigbaws' attitude, but some of the posting on here suggest that some of our fans are that way inclined The magic of the cup and all that ...............

This is the same mid table first division team we struggled to beat only a couple of months ago

And just conceded a penalty
