  1. and the man of the match.....Colin Nish, can you hand this champagne to Mr Jutkiewicz please
  2. I thought it was the hibs ticket prices and the season tickets.
  3. I bloody hate spoilers. Week ruined.
  4. I have the feeling that if another club had our stadium and pitch we'd be constantly ripping the pish out of them for their shit stadium and pitch. Aye, Fir Park has character, but so does Pete Postlethwaite's face. The who "soulless" and "legoland" tags get on my nerves as well. All empty stadiums are soulless, and any collection of four stands filled with rows of seats is going to look kind of lego-like. I don't want an architectural masterpiece (in motherwell!?!?) I just want something functional. Our stadium is not fit for purpose anymore. The deomographic has changed, more people drive now, and there are more forms of entertainment to compete with, so we need a facility which is more accessible and comfortable. We also need to maximise our income, and find novel ways to bring money into the club. Fir Park limits us in this capacity, and we have the added issue of the place costing us a fortune just to keep it as it is. How we go about doing this is another issue!
  5. Something has to give, and we shouldn't be paying £20 a week to subsidise the ridiculous wages of mediocre footballers. I'd go with nethertonwellfan's suggestion, as it encourages bringing kids to the game.
  6. Is it one of those condom machines with the blow up sheep in it? Ear muffs? Either way, the club's phone number is on the website.
  7. ST holders get in for cheaper and have a guaranteed seat. They don't need anything else.
  8. If that's how much it costs to sit outside it must be a fortune to get in.
  9. If our support was so critically important then maybe they shouldn't charge us so much to watch. The price is ridiculous, the catering is shite, and fans are treated like criminals. It's a shame that attendances haven't rocketed since we've been on this great run, but wins wont make people's bosses pay them more or reduce the cost of their mortgage.
  10. Corrigan was an excellent player for us, and a fine servant. I don't think he was quick enough to get a sniff of international football though. The mistake in the semi-fnal was a sore one, but to define a Motherwell career which included over 250 starts by one error is a tad unfair. I doubt that you'll find any "legend" who has gone through their entire career without making a mistake, and if that's the entry requirements of the MFC legends club then we won't have any!
  11. It's us v Hamilton on the skill school today.
  12. Is it fair to say that Craig Brown can juggle soap/soot/soup better than Jim Gannon? I think we oculd scrape 4th this year, but I'm really looking forward to next season if Broony can hold onto the majority of out out of contract guys. The best thing about this run is that we've all forgotten about the Scottish cup exit!

    Offside Goal

    Any time I see us on the wrong end of a ridiculous decision I always think of the Celtic game at Fir Park where Johan Mjällby knocked the ball about a yard into our net and the goal wasn't given. That always sticks out as one of the most ridiculous decisions given in our favour. Think we drew the game. Our refs and linesmen are utter shite, have no consistency, and are ridiculously unfit. This isn't even their main job, so how can they be at their best (which is probably shite anyway)? The best thing that could happen would be for the fat linesman to admit he made an arse of it. How they can say it was for a foul when the signals are different is just silly, and Forbes was 100% right in making sure the ball went in, imagine the abuse he would have got if it narrowly missed because he left it!
  14. Goalie - Kaven Defender - Greg Denham for the Ayr Utd game alone Midfield - Paul Harvey Forward - John Hendry Honourable mention goes to the second coming of Brian McClair.
  15. Calm down. Every club has it's overrated players, it doesn't mean they're shite or being slated, it just means that they aren't as good as everyone makes them out to be.
  16. There always seems to be one player who the well fans seem to rate en masse even though he's actually no that good. There does seem to be a pattern to this, as it always tend to be a "hard man" type, or a foreigner. If I had to nominate someone as being over rated it would have to be Simo Valakari. He was a decent player and always put in a good shift, but I think much of his popularity came down to having a chantable name. Maybe he would have got the Derek Adams treatment if his name was Dave? He also seems to appear in a lot of "greatest well teams" even though the mid 90's trio of Dolan, Lambert and Davies alone should edge him out. Any other nominations?
  17. The only issue I have with this is that our relationship with referees would improve. Also, scientology may work better. We all just need to pretend we have a secret, tell people they have to go to a game to find out the secret. They then find out said secret is a load of shite. We threaten their famililes. They tell their friend they have a secret.
  18. As Haggis said, we've always been able to unearth decent strikers, but it's been a while since we've had a goalie everyone's agreed on. Well, a good one anyway. We've also produced a few strikers of our own, whereas we don't seem to do that with goalies. I think keeping hold of Ruddy would be worth it in the form of significantly less corner kick related heart attacks. Keeping both would be nice though.
  19. From what I've seen of Jennings in the few appearances he's made he looks like a decent player, but hasn't had the chance to really show what he can do as he seems to be behind Lasley, Coke, and Hateley for a midfield spot. Now that Coke will be suspended, does anyone see Jennings taking his spot and holding onto it? If not, does no one else think there's a possibiilty of him heading back down south in the window?
  20. Did Hutchison have many injuries before this season? If not, then the injury prone tag is a bit harsh. I like Murphy, and I think he looks more of a threat as a striker than as a midfielder. He also seems to think this. He's had a couple of good games up front alongside Sutton, and I think he benefits from having a contrasting style to Sutton and Juke. Was Pollock not one of the kids that Celtic tried to nab as well?
  21. I'll take a point, but that was one of the worst games I've ever seen. Falkirk are going down.
  22. I'm sure the player's current wages are considered when compensation is calculated. Reynolds has another year, so if we're going to make any money out of this now is the best time.
  23. Did Brown not say something about money not being an issue, due to them being pretty well off anyway?
  24. No, the fans shouldn't pay. You make it sound like we own them fucking child support!
