it doesn't happen very often Lip but I agree with you. It's far too early to even talk about finishing 3rd. Don't count Hearts out yet. In 1997-1998 season Celtic looked really poor and lost their first 2 games. They went on to win the league. Every team has a spell where they find it tough and we will have one of those spells. What matters is how we deal with it. We will either bounce back but with such a small squad we could crumble. What I like about our squad though is it may be small but it's quite versatile. In another thread people are talking about players with the capability of playing in a number of positions. That can only be a good thing. A couple of good loanees before the window shuts and I think we will finish 4th behind Hearts and a swift return to the Europa League.

And just because someone disagrees with you doesn''t make them 12. By the way standing isn't illegal in football grounds. If it was loads of clubs in Britain would be breaking the law. The Taylor was a set of recommendations that weren't made into law. I think the actual standing bit is SPL rules rather than law.

A friend of mine paid for his book in May and received a juvenile season ticket instead of an adult one

Some people could say that about you. They don't think he is as good as you do but like you they are entitled to their opinion whether you like it or not. I don't think it's blinkered at all in fact it is a very valid point. For the record I would start with Humphrey,

What a daft comment. I have never met anyone who has stopped supporting Motherwell because someone disagreed with them on a football forum. Plus even if every person on this forum was unpleasant to you it would hardly be the MAJORITY would it?

I agree with almost everything you say I just don't think he is our worst ever signing. I don't think he is even close. I think we took a gamble on a player who was decent in the past and it failed. I just think there has been far worse than him.

I can't believe people are mentioning Gow and Woods as the worst signing ever when we have signed duds like John Davies and Casagolda. At least Gow scored a goal that got us to a semi final. What did Casagolda or Davies ever do?

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while

Re signings at motherwell haven't gone that badly.

A wee pre-season trip to Torquay would be the dogs bollocks. What a trip that would be.

We can expect hee haw for Jennings because he is out of contract.

Judging a player on 4 games (with only 2 being in his preferred position) is utter madness. Just think of the players we would have driven back to their clubs on that basis.

Anyone heard anything about Jennings to Bristol City? Just had 2 texts from different sources. Nothing but rumour but just wondering if anyone else has heard anything.

Jeffers isn't on a big wage. Motherwell did not break their wage structure to get a player who was out of football. If he stays he will still not be on big money!

I actually agree with you but football is a funny game. You can NEVER predict it.

I get your point but Dundee United won the cup last season. They did beat Rangers on the way, however Ross County beat Celtic last year so on any one day anything can happen. Celtic could beat Rangers and then lose to anyone including Hearts. Any decent team can win the cup with a wee bit of luck.

As much as I understand the sentiment behind the idea this sums up my thoughts perfectly. Phil O Donnell will never be forgotten but this does sound reactive to what Celtic are doing rather than a pro-active idea. Let's get behind the team. As the banner said it's "time for new heroes". That is really what this cup final should be about. That is the team and the fans working extremely hard behind the scenes to make this a day to remember for the rest of our lives. 'mon the well

I thought he was going to say "Jim Gannon is an idiot" Seriously though I thought he was pretty spot on with his views on Gannon in particular.

Aye but your location says Paisley

Just realised Simpsons "Do the Bartman was 1991":laugh: Have a look at this site 1991 number ones Am a wee bit bored at work so doing a lot of googling but some of them songs bring back some memories.

This is a pure google number by the way not by memory but Cher - The shoop shop song (It's in his kiss) was number 1 on May 18 1991.

Pat AKA Wellworn who used to contribute to these forums! I'm sure he'll be looking down on the guys with a beer in hand. An absolute gent and I'm sure he would have been in Jack Daniels pre and post match having a beer with Rab and the rest of the well support.

If Albion hold out this could see the return of the 'Buckie Derby'. Albion and Airdrie in the same league

Have you saw they guys selling the stuff? They look like Jakey's and are selling feathered caps for a fiver. Must have cost about 20p to make. They'll do anything for a can of Strongbow super!
