everybody thinks they've got the worst fans in the country at home and a great support away. you see killie, st mirren, aberdeen and especially falkirk saying it all the time on pie and bovril. rangers and celtic both got booed off in their last home games as well. the truth is we're not that different from anyone else and that there are a lot of stupid, angry and loud fans in every ground in scotland.

what about the tri state area?

there's not really the same cast of villianous characters kicking about the spl anymore is there? if you look back to the early/mid nineties every team seemed to have two or three guys that made your blood boil just to look at them. who have you got now? jamie hammill, novo, brown, tokely, lee miller, micheal stewart. pretty pish in comparison to arseholes like darren jackson, ian ferguson and dave mcpherson.

the best thing about that night was there were a load of bayern munich fans at the game who went on the pitch after the game got abandoned and led some mad bouncy style chants. nevin's winner in the rearranged game was a belter.

terrible game as i remember it, we're totally shite even although we managed to score five. any game where that wee wank spencer scored a hat trick and andy dow curled in a 25 yard free kick is never going to be fondly remembered by me.

i remember waking up the day we played brazil in 1998 with a massive spring in my step then coming down the stairs and being gutted as soon as i saw on the back page of the record that darren jackson was playing. i also had a healthy hatred for pat mcginlay, tommy turner, lee richardson, stevie fulton, keith wright and paul wright.

i agree 100% with ya beezer. any talk of bloodlines is a nonsense and a fantasy, if people are here and there contributing to our society they're scottish (if they want to be). england, ireland, spain, italy and countless other countries don't have any problems with stuff like this and i think the only reason we do is that we're not independent and people feel the need to fight to protect our national identity rather than let it evolve.

i don't know to be honest but i suspect i'd be more sympathetic to their cause than i am now. driver came here when he was ten, the majority of his life that he can remember has been in scotland. you say nationality isn't a choice it's an accident of birth, what about all the people queuing up to be become americans?

i think this case shows up how daft your argument was. any reasonable person would say driver is more scottish than humphrey.

saunders has played brilliantly so far but i think it's a bit much to expect an 18 year old to keep his consistency up for a full season. there's no harm in giving the guy's a rest every so often and making them earn there place in the team.

we rode our luck yesterday. if you compare our performance this weekend with our last two at parkhead (a win and a loss) there isn't really much difference in our efforts. celtic just didn't have enough quality to punish us this time.

he started in midfield against st johnstone and aberdeen and at left back against kilmarnock. centrehalf is definitely his best position though.

bbc have got 21 shots, 9 on target. from our point of view it doesn't matter anyway they missed three or four great chances. we had the luck today, fuck them.

who do you think forbes played better than?

imo a kenny wrightesque performance when he came on.

that's not a compliment. there were ten motherwell players who started today who played better.

what game were you at?

right good supporrt today even with the game bejng online. whoever said they wouldn't give celtic any money is a fucking clown we paid 22 quid which is the same as you'll pay for any away game and it was well worth it to support the lads to a great result. gannon got everything right today. he did exactly what he did against falkirk. that formation is perfect for playing the OF against other teams we need more up top.

the way i look at is that for every £20 quid i give the old firm motherwell gets £200 from them. i'm looking forward to saturday. it's been a month since the last away game so it's quite good we're getting a wee run of them and they're all relatively local. we're going to head into bridgeton for a few and watch the h*n game with the locals.

was up getting tickets there about 250 sold apparently. with nae JOB i'd go for ruddy yassin craigan reynolds hammell hateley humphrey coke forbes murphy lukas hopefully the break will have helped forbes get back on his game. if not get him subbed early and get jennings in.

i doubt he will do a pearson. my problem with pearson was that he effectively withdrew his labour and forced us to sell him at a knock down price in the winter window when if he'd have kept up his october/november form til may we could have went to tribunal and got at least as much money for him. if slane does everything asked of him until the end of the season then goes to celtic i'd have no complaints. it would be a boot in the balls for the fans but at the same time if he suffered a career ending injury the contract would be off the table and he'd be forgotten about.

the idiot prize in this thread is surely destined for your matlepiece.

does no else think we've no right to expect any loyalty from 17 and 18 year olds as if they weren't up to scratch we wouldn't be quick in bombing them out the door ourselves.

he gave 100% on the park for the duration of his contract, that's all i'm bothered about.

that's my point the shoe's on the other foot this time. if we don't want a young boy it's cheerio, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. this time the young out of contract boy might not want us, i don't see how we can complain.
