RIP Goalie That was a ridiculous save that he had no right to make. His reflexes were absolutely astounding. For all he was past his best by the time he came to FP he still managed some incredible performances in our jersey and even managed to secure a loan move to Man Utd in 2001 on the back of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 RIP Andy , we have been blessed with great goalies down the years and along with Andy there has been Sieb, John Ruddy, Darren Randolph, Ally Maxwell and Liam Kelly at present ain’t too bad either Got great memories of Andy, loved watching the Well at this time even though we could blow hot and cold at times, remember the cup tie against Hearts which was Andy’s debut, Fir Park was bouncing that night with at least 10,000 or so The save from Larsson was brilliant, also remember a 1-0 victory the season after with 10 men which Goram had a great game And of course a 2-0 victory against the Rangers last game of the season that almost had us in Europe and this game is almost forgotten about, the story about Andy being knocked back from the Fir Park club one night for not having a membership despite being club captain at the time will be remembered also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I’m surprised to hear that Goram was denied entry to the old Fir Park Club given that that was one of the biggest Rangers shops in town back then. I know I and alot of Motherwell fans avoided it for that very reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in the cooper stand a few times not long after it first opened though always preferred the Hunter Stand, one game I was in the cooper I seem to recall an incident with Jim Leighton towards the end of a game when someone ran on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Murphy has 8 goals and 4 assists in 19 appearances against St Johnstone so from their perspective at least he won't be playing against them. He has 1 goal and 1 assist in 31 appearances against Celtic which I think sums him up. He had so much ability but fell short mentally, if he had a Scott McDonald style attitude he would have had a much more successful career. He was still a great player overall for us though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a brutal opening fixture list, easily the hardest of any of the teams. For me could be contenders to go straight back down.

Doing well with both StJohonstone and the 8 years with Abderdeen. He must be kicking himself not to have taken the bigger jobs when they came up. Now he's back at the level he was 14 years ago when starting out as a manager. Having to make do with a much lower budget. Difficult to call who'll do well and who'll sink. Suspect it will be another tight league from pos 5-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I thought Polworth was binned and at Dunfermline now? Or was that just a loan deal? Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, not a fan of McInnes, as I think he's overrated by a friendly press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 He’s not overrated at all, he absolutely dominated the rest of the league with Aberdeen. Look at the fuckin nick of them since they sacked him. One of the most ridiculous sackings/mutual terminations ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took Aberdeen as far as he could . Sadly it highlights the restrictions our league has . Old firm fight for top spot , a few other clubs battle for best of the rest . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 McInnes is a very good manager at this level and I think he’ll prove it again this year with Killie, who I think will surprise a lot of people in the league next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has the making of a decent pairing with Watt doing the running and Fletcher staying central. Dependent on Watt being as focussed as he was in the final year of his contract with us.....
