[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

You know the phrase "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?

 

I think that is being proven here....

 

I'm kinda with this view.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

Just seen the draw. Brutal again. Not been kind to us this year at all.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

Would have taken that before the game and at HT.......but with literally the last kick of the ball it's a win thrown away. McCall make any subs today? I know there wasn't a great deal of options on the bench.....more for running down the clock if the situation presented itself.

 

Didn't think we would win today and concerned about the replay as well. I take it this will be free for ST holders?

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

And there ye are.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

Ooft. Hold on. Just hold on.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

Have they cut the licence fee though?

 

It wisnae my call.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

Financial cutbacks.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

That's a major concern.

[Motherwell V Hearts]

In fairness to him it was four going on ten that day. He did extremely well to limit them to four goals.

 

Like it is a lot of the time we play the OF.

[Motherwell V Hearts]

Still conceeded four goals though

[Motherwell V Hearts]

Whole system is odd, open to criticism in respect to fairness, and as I've said before just another section of our National Sport that looks ridiculous.

[Aberdeen V Motherwell]

This game still gives me the fear. I think I'll just leave it at that. I'll pop back into this thread on Saturday evening and hope I'm more than a million miles oot

[V Dundee United]

Excellent result. ICT win will put us in fifth but we are right in the mix.

[V Dundee United]

played 90 on saturday?

 

Might have done actually. Couldn't get to the game and the 'review' it got put me off watching any rerun/highlights on TV.

[V Dundee United]

Ojamaa never gets the 90 but good to see Carswell get a chance.

[V Dundee United]

You've just answered my question, Al.

[V Dundee United]

Listening to the MFCTV Commentary genuinely hurts my brain.

 

I've honestly never listened to it. What's the problems? Poor sound? Lack of professional commentary? Too one sided even for us?

[V Dundee United]

All United then I take it.

[V Dundee United]

Higdon and Humphrey scoring in first ten minutes? Somebody better check that steelboy's heid hisnae exploded

 

This getting score update malarkey when your stuck at work sucks.

[V Dundee United]

Another clean sheet gone.

[V Dundee United]

Yaaaasssss! Heider? Shot?

[Motherwell V Hearts]

I'm reminded of the saying 'We are all equal but some are more equal than others'.

 

No consistency in the slightest and it makes a mockery of our set up. Once again.

[V Dundee United]

1-1 for me.

[A Worse Game]

TBH Because lying about the state of the game "makes it better". It is how the Premiership went from a meh, it's OK to supposedly the best league in the world, which if anyone who has ESPN knows it's not even in the top 3 that they show for entertainment or technical quality.

 

I think a wee bit more went into it than that. World class players, managers, coverage, full stadiums, very good games, goals, etc.

 

However, the people who talk it up are the ones who are benefiting from the game financially. Whether it is Arsene Wenger, Chris Kamara, Keys and Gray and so on. Their public opinion is based on the growth and success of the league which will also assist their bank balances/keep them in jobs. Graham Spiers, Chic Young, Rob MacLean, Terry Butcher etc. are all doing a similar job up here. Some have opinions that are pretty honest. Others are spouting rubbish imo. I have heard Chic Young and Terry Butcher state in the last seven days that the football up here this season has been "fantastic". I've heard Jim Traynor and Stuart Cosgrove pretty much scoff at the mere suggestion. I'm more with the latter.

 

As fans we should be totally objective and impartial and say how it really is. However, I can only really comment on the Motherwell games I have been too. The only games I haven't been to this season were Aberdeen and ICT away and the game yesterday. I can honestly say I have been pretty disappointed with the majority of games and bored rigid at quite a few. The game at Tynecastle being a bit of a 'football low' as far as realising value for money etc.

 

Are fans of Aberdeen, Hibs, Killie etc. seeing a better quality product than we are at the moment? I can't say for sure but it is possible. The football on show at Fir Park this season, imo, has been rank.
