The only thing I was surprised about was hearing it's 10 years since we last beat them, really didn't feel that long. Seriously???? I've lived every bloody day of those 10 years, 35 games , 30 losses, thinking Id never live long enough to ever see us beat them again. For me its felt like an eternity , like a never ending prison sentence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me its felt like an eternity , like a never ending prison sentence. Exactly. In the last ten years weāve seen us lose every possible way to them. 7-0, numerous 4-0 losses, two cup final defeats without laying a glove on them. Ā Then all the last minute sickeners. 2-0 then 3-2 up only to lose 4-3 with the last kick of the ball. We score a last minute equaliser and they run straight up the park and score again. 2-1 up at Parkhead a few months back and relatively comfortable, lose 3-2 in the dying minutes.Ā Ā Even the one and only time we came close to beating them in the last decade we were denied by a dodgy late penalty for them to sneak a 1-1 draw. Last night was a long time coming and I will certainly dine out on it for a long time to come: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago We've said before that we've been playing reminiscent of anĀ old firm team v others in the league. That last night was like a team routinely pumping Celtic in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Listening across tv and radio last night not one of the pundits had anything but good words for us and I didnāt hear anything about us being lucky against a poor Celtic team.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claretband Posted 58 minutes ago Report Share Posted 58 minutes ago Great night last night but one ādownsideā is I made the mistake of tuning into Off the Ball on Radio Scotland after the game. Tam Cowan couldnāt even let himself or the listeners enjoy the result without the age old nonsense about āweāll be lucky to keep JBA to the end of the season, weāre only a wee club, much bigger clubs will be looking at our manager and our playersā and so on. Lighten up ffs.Ā Iāve no doubt of Tamās love for the club but he is one of the biggest culprits of this āweāre only a wee diddy team punching way above our weightā especially seeing as heās probably the most high profile Motherwell fan out there certainly the one with the biggest platform. That sort of nonsense is why we went more than a decade without beating Celtic as it drips into the club and numerous players, managers and staff buy into it.Ā Ā Fortunately Jens simply focusses on us as a team and doesnāt get caught up in the cliched tiresome rhetoric that so many before him have done so. And Tam Cowan really isnāt funny. His patter is pretty shite imo.I donāt agree with Tam on everything but love his passion and exposure he gives the club. However the wee diddy stuff. He normally prefixes it with āso calledā but people donāt notice that bit. Itās not good to hear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigManTam Posted 36 minutes ago Report Share Posted 36 minutes ago Last night was an eye opener. rangers will be looking back on Saturday now and thinking they did very well to beat us. I actually thought Nancy would do a job for celtic, but their performance last night was as poor as anything a Russell Martin Rangers team produced. Turmoil ahead for Celtic I suspect, which can only be good for us and the league as a whole. Imagine if Celtic rage-recalled Welsh from his loan? š Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shook the hands with every Celtic player as they trudged off, a few hugs as well. As soon as they were gone he turned to us in the main stand and fist pumped. He looked every bit as happy as me. His face definitely screamed āget it up themā I donāt see him going back thereĀ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Neils40yarder Posted 13 minutes ago Report Share Posted 13 minutes ago I've seen Motherwell teams deservedly beat Celtic and I've seen us scrape through...I've never seen us batter them from minute 1 to minute 90. Ā Incredible performance, unbelievableĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
