Do you think publicly attacking the forum moderation team is going to make us all read your link and we'll ooh and ah at the analysis then beg for your help? I just checked my email account, it's pretty well organised with message rules, I'd lay bets I'm not the only person to do this, there are currently 6000 unread emails, a high percentage of those are marketing emails or 'upcoming events' and even a few 'What's happening on... forum' type of mails, most of which I did sign up to get. I'll say this again, we're not a business, we don't live or die by forum engagement or product sales. It's a place where folk come and talk about Motherwell and any other nonsense if they like, we rarely produce content and these days rarely have the scoop on news concerning Motherwell, the flashpoints are transfer window and matchday. Social media has taken over as a more personal version of compost corner.

Why are you interested in helping? Why is this help only offered publicly? You know, 20 years ago there was a thriving Motherwell FC mailing list, it evolved from the exiles club and was the only show in town until Fir Park corner appeared, which led to WTFC.net and the mailing list pretty much died on it's arse around 2001'ish. What we really need is a mobile app to push notifications of MFC news that isn't twitter or facebook.

What's the format mate? Sounds interesting

Steelmenonline is not a business, the only product we have is providing a platform for discussing Motherwell and other nonsense. We're pretty much self sustaining in terms of hosting and support (numpty, I'll look into that email query) Administration and moderation is voluntary and everyone apart from Andy_P does a good job. Andy_P does a great job.

The club's online presence has certainly increased since the early days of the forum, their site has been overhauled and Twitter and facebook make global interactions much more commonplace than a specific forum, it's not specific to steelmenonline, I've seen quite a few decline in activity, I'd been part of a group of friends who organise events at the American fitba for 3 years and only found out there was a forum a few months ago.

Insert cliche about bonfire night and fireworks here.

We'll see what McGhee's worth as a manager is over the next month or so. I'm not expecting a surge up the league but some points towards us separating from the bottom.

Whatever that was tonight, let's hope there's no repeat.

The highest accolade I can give this project is that it's a fantastic bog read.

Midweek, shit weather, long drive for the visitors, low crowd, lower expectation. Instant classic.

I'll check my dvd, they might be on there since it's just a VHS transfer of the broadcast, no much pregame though

That's right, goal difference is meaningless in this league. It's important not to lose by too many goals, it could be the difference between finishing sixth or seventh or the playoff spot and tenth.

The real fitba is back. Hope we're better than the League cup

Bottle? I was only working in the war zone 4 weeks after they signed the ceasefire in Yugoslavia , I'm sure I'd have managed to play fitba in some English backwater for a while.

How exactly do you make a player go on loan to the conference? This isn't Champ manager, who pays the loanees living expenses? At least loaning a player in this country he can for the most part get up the road after training and commute from home. There should be a succession between playing for the under 20s as an 18 year old and going on loan, but it should be to Clyde,Airdrie,Livingston or the like.

I've got the entire final 120 minutes on DVD

It's the jambos up next

Even our best teams in the 90s struggled at Firhill, shite ground,shite fans

Pinch it and bury it in the garden with all the other shite fitba songs on the go?

Aye about time this shite was wrapped up, fucking tedious.

The Cooper stand tannoy had been okay for a few games, but today it was back to it's chronic state of being too loud

Be good to go to Firhill and turn up for once in a wee while.

3 copies ordered.

Jamie Dolan day was almost Andy Roddie day, but Iain Ross was on hand to net the rebound.

Be good to beat this lot.
