yosemite sam Posted Friday at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:00 PM Great name Wullie, but my favourite player of that era was the man whose photo I use, that of Charlie Aitken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a wee boy I always looked out for Charlie's blond hair at corners, since he was so good with his head. Of course sometimes Andy Weir would score directly from them anyway and save Charlie the trouble. A truly great Motherwell player ignored by the selectors? That would never happen! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star sail Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I always assumed that I am one of the really old timers on this forum but when many of you are sharing memories of Ancell babes I realise that I am just a young thing. Willie Pettigrew was my first Motherwell hero and that was in the late 1970's when I would sneak in to watch the last quarter of games for free after they opened the big terracing gates. I am feeling good about tomorrow. I think the team will return to form and the bad luck with decisions has to change at some point even if it is Rangers at Ibrox. Biggest thing is to avoid getting any players sent off or making challenges in the box that give the referee a decision to make ( I know that is so much easier send than done). Take some of the chances we create and it will put Rangers under real pressure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take some of the chances we create and it will put Rangers under real pressure. Apart from all the great goals Willie Pettigrew scored (often against Celtic), one of his greatest feats (imo) was scoring four against Dundee at Dens Park (a young Gordon Strachan and all) in a 3-6 victory. He and Bobby Graham ran riot that day. As for tomorrow, I expect to get little from the referee in front of the baying hordes of Castle Grayskull, even though I think we are good enough to beat them (think of the foul on Fadinger in the last minute of our game at Christmas against Rangers, for example). I think Mr Slattery can expect some "incoming". I noticed Jens mentioned the importance of getting the right refereeing decisions in his pre-match press conference. Unfortunately this might be a further red rag to our "double-down" (and often vindictive) officialdom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Quite a good result for us yesterday with Celtic winning. Rangers will be under a bit of pressure to win and their fans will be edgy. If we can keep them quiet and nick a goal they’ll go into full meltdown. My morning of game positivity is strong….1-0 Motherwell.🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago So, RCC and Slattery are back in contention, which is good news. However, its concerning that Koutroumbis and Thor are still not back in training. Will we see much of them before the season draws to a close? Results wise, I believe that today's derby in Edinburgh will be of more importance to us than our own game in Glasgow. At a minimum, no red cards or injuries please.

Going on our recent form this game has a controversial VAR assisted decision for Rangers to get the the win they need written all over it. I really would like to be proved wrong but i have the fear, its not going to be our day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
