Did anyone see any Well Society material or suchlike when they were entering or leaving the ground yesterday? Surely there must have been leaflets, advertising or something when the fans were going to be in a great mood and feeling positive?

Looks like Erwin may be headed to Leeds.

According to Stephen McGowan, the Daily Mail chief football writer Erwin is set to sign for Leeds United.

If he'd turned around and shoved Erwin back or told him to f*ck off (again), then fair enough. But aiming a kick and a punch? Nah, that's not on. I heard he tried to continue his shite outside the stadium afterwards.

If Laing moves on this summer the boy Mohsni is available on a free transfer

Glad to see people are finally seeing sense and realise that he really needs a summer to offload some players and make some proper signings before we judge him.

Those two games come second only to the '91 cup final for me. Fucking fantastic.

From what i've seen it really is a mixed bag. Some of them think we were lucky, some of them think that they'll come back and roll over us in the 2nd game, some of them think they were terrible and that they can't come back, and some are just so angry and shocked that they can't quite comprehend what happened.

To be fair Madden had a decent game last night. I was fully expecting some dodgy decisions but none were forthcoming.

How would you feel if we were taking a 3-1 lead over the likes of QOS, Hibs or St Mirren back to Fir Park? I bet you'd be pretty fucking confident of us at least avoiding a two goal loss, right? No different here.

Of course it is. The media kept banging on about how we hadn't won at Ibrox in 18 years, knowing fine well that the majority of those losses came at the hands of a completely different club financially than they are now. They are only Rangers in name. They're a Championship side sprinkled with a couple of past their prime ex-Rangers players.

A goal in the first fifteen minutes will see them crumble, leading to us winning at a canter. I'm going for a three or four goal win, with them possibly grabbing a consolation.

George Long. He actually looked like the 'keeper that he's supposed to be.

I can't be the only person who wasn't all that surprised by how we took them apart surely? I'm actually disappointed we didn't get another one or two, as they were right there for the taking. As I said earlier in the thread before the game, they're a half decent Championship side, nothing more. Remove the big stadium and the infamous blue shirt and you've basically got a team that we'd expect to beat eight times out of ten.

Can you not give it a rest until next week, Steelboy? There are more important matters to deal with than your apparent dislike of all things positive at Fir Park.

I meant our media as in Scottish, not club related.

Do Celtic want a strong Rangers? They seem to be coping just fine without them to be honest.

Did anyone see the press conference with Baraclough and McManus? Fucking hell, our media is cringeworthy. Asking the manager if it'll be the realisation of a dream or something like that to stand in the away dug out at Ibrox and suchlike! Fucking hell man! It's not Real Madrid we're playing!

Aye, I'd kind of forgotten about them for a bit, never really been one to follow their progress or anything like that since they dropped down, but this past week has certainly been a reminder as to why I fucking despise them. Us beating them followed by their Mike Ashley-led financial implosion due to another year in the championship would be just what the doctor ordered.

And poetically the management team that masterminded that abomination is now running things over there!

Bang on. If anything he's a good squad player to have on the books.

Very well said. I think a lot of our own fans would do well to take note of this.

One thing that really astounds me (even though I know it shouldn't) is the way the media are playing this as if Sevco are favourites. For the first time in ages I tuned into a football phone-in the other night. I had to double check my phone to make sure it was actually 2015 and not 2009. I've heard Sevco fans talking about putting 3 or 4 past us tonight. There's no prime Kenny Miller, Kris Boyd or Lee McCulloch playing tonight. No Carlos Cuéllar, no Pedro Mendes, no Charlie Adam, no prime Nacho Novo, no Alan McGregor. There is however the likes of Steve Simonsen, a 52 year old Lee McCulloch, Darren McGregor, and a Kenny Miller who couldn't cut in in MLS and who's scored a fraction of what he was supposed to. Boyd hasn't done much better, and i'm not even going to mention the comedy antics of Bilel Mohsni. I also read this quote from today's Daily Record website; "Motherwell should kick off as favourites and have a number of proven performers in their squad who have scored big goals for them in the not too distant past. But they also have a woeful record against Rangers - particularly at Ibrox where they haven't won in 18 years." Why are they talking about us not winning at Ibrox for 18 years? We're not playing against the same club that we've played during those 18 years! It would be the equivalent of us playing a cup semi-final against Falkirk at Ibrox and the media mentioning how we haven't won there in years against Rangers. We're not playing the same club who could field a team of highly paid footballers tonight. aside from the badge on the jersey and the stadium there is zero comparison to any of the Rangers sides we've faced in league action previously. Chat about the ticket situation made me laugh as well. Sevco fans phoning in claiming that a "wee team" like Motherwell are mental to knock back the "blue pound". Again, it's not 2009. We have a legit multi-millionaire running our club, with his wealth firmly "on the radar", no tax issues in foreign countries or any of that nonsense. We don't need Sevco's "blue pound". Our owner could have bought and sold Sevco five or six times over and still have enough cash left over to buy a small country. Honestly, if we go there tonight and beat this mob by a couple of goals it will rank as one of the most satisfying moments in my 30 odd years of supporting Motherwell. And not because we'll have beaten "Rangers". I fully believe that we're good enough to beat their squad over two games. We have better players than they do, simple as that. It'll be satisfying because the media and the deluded Sevco fans who've bought into the shite being pedalled will lose the place. This myth of "Rangers" will then be put to bed once and for all. They aren't "Rangers". They're a reformed club with championship level players who managed to finish 3rd in that league. Nothing more.

Some good news at last!

Aye, very good. You'd be on here kicking up fuck if that were the case and you know it.
