  1. Not a massive surprise really was it? Sadly Ross County are a better team than us. And the Jags are now above us.........Great day at the office!!
  2. Nicky Law was generally a good player for us, but there were a lot of games he hid when things weren't going for us. I found him infuriating at times. 3 years in the lower leagues at his peak, albeit financially beneficial, has screwed his footballing career. I'd bet if he does sign for a Premiership team again, even though the standard isn't high, it'll take him a full season to get back up to speed, therefore a seasons wage wasted!!
  3. Probably the only bit of class shown during the full game, lovely strike!! Most of us all know Vigurs is more than capable of that, but for every moment like that with him, there was around 30 moments of general disappointment and frustration. I dont blame you for clapping!! I may have clapped too if i wasn't too busy putting my head in my hands screaming FFS!!

    Josh Law

    I've never been a fan but his performances are improving. He is however playing at Right Back, the easiest position on a football park, Due to the modern game he gets away with (as do many other full backs all over the world) not being able to defend, tackle, header a ball, but if you can play a pass, have a good engine and support the midfielders you'll get away with it. All the best to him, seems a decent lad, if McGhee can improve him, excellent!!
  5. I always like tuning in to Yogi before we play any of his teams. I often feel he's doing a job interview for the Motherwell job. Ive never heard him say anything bad against us. Last season I remember being slightly embarrassed on the way to the game listening to him on the radio......talking about Motherwell as a "wonderful club" "fantastic working class supporters" type of club that's right up my street.....great tough town, great people!!....jeez, gie it a rest yogi!! as much as l like Hughes, we need the win today, extremely important, I think we'll shade it 1-0
  6. Wasn't at the game but reports of Johnson's performance is great news, we all know he's got ability but has looked lost all season. As for Law, never been a fan but if Mcghee can do a Jim Paterson or Mcgarry with him, then I bow to his managerial capabilities. Good point, onwards to mid table security please.
  7. Paul Slane definitely, massive disappointment........utter bellend of a human. I always like Forbes but the lack of pace and more importantly a real lack of confidence was the reason his career slipped, Craig Brown continually dropping him didn't help the lads belief. I remember Paul Mills also, great talent but from a dodgy family and I believe he hit the drink. a couple of players from the 80s, early 90s, Stevie Bryce, another boy with great talent just confidence knocked out him from Tam Forsyth and wee McLean and Marty McBride, just ended up a ned waster from Blantyre.
  8. It was Flamenco, My dad was at the game and they had quite a few players that played in the 1970 world cup. Guys like Gerson etc. St John ran them ragged apparently.
  9. The Celtic fans i know are about: 70% (good guys) want rid of the Green Brigade and find them an emarrassment and hinderence to their club. 20% (questionable beliefs) Think they help the atmosphere at a generally dead stadium. 10% (moronic imbeciles) Believe their political agenda should be listenened to. i always follow the 70 / 20 / 10 % rule with most things to do with Scotland and its population!! 70% ok 20% iffy and 10% cocks.
  10. Paul Lambert in Dortmund Cooper against Aberdeen at Fir Park around 1992....total humiliation of the Dons defence (who were good at the time) for 90mins. I know its laughable but Neil Simpsons debut against Airdrie at Broomfield sticks out, incredible performance......unfortunately never played very well ever again for us. Johnny Gahagan around winter 1981 against Kilmarnock at Fir Park. I'm sure i'll remember many more from the past.........I live my life in the past.
  11. What a great season that was to watch, feel quite sorry for the younger generation that missed it. Tommy Coyne and wee Dougie were just phenomenal. I was always convinced if we had a keeper that year we'd have won the league!!
  12. I'm aghast at McGhee's opinion on Louis Laing as a midfielder? was he at the game? I understand completely him not saying anything too negative but that was out and out admiration for someone who had no idea what he was doing. I actually felt sorry for Laing, I think he's a decent big centre half but he was totally lost today......obviously, as he's never played there before!!! it has to be one of the worst celtic sides ive seen as well, awful. Anyway, i'll give it a month to see improvement, as much as it was honking today, I think it'll get better.....it needs to.
  13. Bring back Bara!! Worst 45 mins I've seen all season!! Shown zero!! Lasley, ainsworth and macdonald have to get on.
  14. Dortmund away semi final replay 91 twist & shout day, fir park midweek game at ibrox 93ish?? beat them 2-1.....Doooooougie!!!!!!!! Cup final day 91............bit too nervous to enjoy it fully tho. Any of Davie Hay's 81/82 season......first full season I had a childs season ticket....went to every game with my dad that season home & away...still have the programmes. Hard to put them in order......just been a privilege to have so many good memories connected to Motherwell FC
  15. Bitton and Brown missing tomorrow through injury apparently. Good chance for Pearson & Lasley to stamp some authority down on the centre mid. I trot along not too bothered by Celtic or their fans most of the year but I do like a visit on their forums prior to our games, gets the blood boiling pre-match....they really are a horribly vermin like bunch. I fancy us for a win tomorrow......got the feeling.
  16. Definitely!! As much as I thought Baraclough was a nice enough guy, and had some decent ideas, I never really believed he meant what he was saying, he had a definite civil servant air about him. As much as Mcghee comes over a bit twatish a times, I think he's a proper manager and wont suffer fools. I doubt very much the players will take a loan of him like they did with our previous incumbent.
  17. You've just described McGhee
  18. Quite good to see this guy Boles in who actually looks in prime health, as opposed to Gordon Crawford who could've be mistaken for a pish stained vagrant. What sort of message were we sending out, with a conditioning coach resembling a big issue seller.
  19. I think he's a safe pair of hands that'll kick some much needed arse!! I feel more confident he can do a better job than some the names touted about!! i'm hoping with age and a bit more realism, he's more settled at Fir Park than he was before. Whatever happens, he deserves respect, even from our most ridiculous fans, due to the way he handled the Phil situation.
  20. Lets face it do any of us know anything really about Valakari as a manager? I knew him as a player and he was average at best!! I doubt any of us know what the Finnish league is like? what his general tactics are? The players in Finland? Checking him out on Wikipedia doesn’t make for a rigorous vetting for our vacant managerial position. As much as I don’t like the guy, McGhee is unfortunately ticking the boxes for me. I like the idea of McCallister but he didn’t want it before because of the spending restraints so I doubt he’ll want it now. McGhee I think/hope is now too old in the teeth to be punting himself for bigger jobs so he could be a safe bet. We don’t need to like the guy to be a good manager…look at wee Tommy, he was an insipid wee character but he did a good job for us.
  21. Too many monkeys running the ship with the lack of an organ grinder. Thought it was a huge failing of Baraclough getting a number of players involved in team discussions, scouting games and giving signing recommendations. I can understand taking the views of staff in a normal office environment and treating people like adults but for football it doesn't work...too many egos and too many people thinking they're smarter and further up the pecking order than the next guy. I believe this has lead to the mess at the moment....too many thinking they're the leader and they're opinions are of greater importance. monkeys
  22. First attempt at goal and the bbc reporter stated it's not deserved...........sounds like we've been bowfin' against a truly woeful Dundee team. The Craigan love bubble may be slightly deflated tonight.
  23. My mate who's an Aberdeen fan thinks Calderwood was the best manager they've had since Ferguson!! My mate is also a complete fucking imbecile!! Just saying like... As for McGhee, just cant see it happening........still think it's Craigan...unfortunately!! or Craggs as some people call him........is it acceptable anywhere outside football to call a 40yr old man a nickname??

    Joe Wark

    My first Motherwell hero, from a time when players were proper heroes. My dad got me my first 'Well top with the number 3 on the back because of him. Very Sad day...Thanks for some great memories Joe..... RIP
  25. I thought he came over a bitter little orange man the other night on Sportscene.......sounded just like almost every h*n I spoke to after those games. I felt the comment about Motherwell fans was a bit schnidey, but cest la vie....his time with us is over. Good luck to him driving the team minibus, pumping up the balls and cutting the oranges as 3rd in command with Scotland!!
