Agree with this one a good away win is on the cards, we are playing well just now, Blackman and Humphrey are on fire

I think the only people who are likely to buy the half season ticket are regular attenders to Fir Park, so they will probably know about it anyway .i dont think many people would buy someone a season ticket without asking. So the adverts might not bring in enough revenue to justify the cost of putting them out. On the general point though i dont think the club advertises itself enough outwith the web site, they could probably do a lot more locally, papers, radio etc. We need all the supporters we can get so increasing the advertising budget might be a good move.

I dont agree with the "curse" tag but it is unusual for 4 players in the same team to have died at a young age, the 91 cup final team never played together again, as Boyd went to Chelsea before the start of the next season. Another squad member Colin "Psycho" O'Neil had to retire early from football due to Injury so you can see why the Curse label is used. This might be a job for Mulder and Scully

very harsh i think he is beginning to come on to a bit of form, he needs games to sharpen up, that said it was a bad miss on saturday but every motherwell player has been guilty of that at some time. Motherwell just need to find a bit of concistency and string a run of wins together we managed it last season about this time, no reason why we can't do it again.

If we are serious about finishing 3rd or 4th this season theses are the games we need to win. I think we will win, but if St Mirren put the shutters up like they did against celtic then we might struggle as we never seem able to break teams down. Can anyone confirm if the game is all ticket or pay at the gate ?

another popoular thread !!! :wank:

The point i was trying to make was forget about referee's and bad decisions they even themselves out over the season, or at least they should

Totally agree, the atmosphere at Fir park is okay, its Motherwell not Milan or Barcelona

While the quality of referreeing on show was shocking we cant escape the fact that we lost because Craigan made a C**t of it twice allowing Riordan to score, and Gow headed wide from 2 yards out !!! We are creating chances and by all accounts from people who were at the game we we the better side, so lets concentrate on the football and not get sucked in to the conspiracy theories coming from Parkhead. Craig Brown is too much of a gentelman to complain, just leave that to that Rabid wee ginger Pr**K, Lennon

Hibs will get a boost from beating Rangers but they are still a Dodgy side, we look to be getting a bit of consitency at last, if all thet main players stay fit, ie Blackman, Murphy, Jennings, etc then we will do well. I am going for a 2-0 win to Motherwell ( Blackman & Murphy). Our away form has been good so we should go to Easter road with high hopes of a great result.

????

Is there a point to this topic ?

It makes no difference who the ref is they are all dodgy, if the well play as we know they can we will pump hibs as they are Sh*t. This nonsense with refs has been going on for years, its only getting lots of press now as nobody at the SFA has the balls to stand up to the conspiracy theorists at Parkhead and tell them to Feck off You can pick any team you like and if you go back far enough you will find that for every decision they think has gone against them, there will be one that they have got away with. Fans have been arguing about referee's decisions since football started, every country,every league. The only reason we seem to be obsessed with it is that Celtic have been carrying a huge chip on their shoulder since 1888 trying to convince anybody who will listen that the establishment is against them, and the media seem to like it. So never mind who the ref is support the team and we will get the result, we are better than them.

Could'nt agree more the whole Casual thing was bullshit a load of guys using football as an excuse to fight and behave like a**e holes. Now we look back and it is viewed as some sort of "right of passage", for your average foottie fan. What it done in reality was that every ground or town you went to in those days you were herded about like cattle by the police. you could not get into any pubs etc. Does anybody really thing that that was a good thing? Fair play to the Guy who wrote the book, but these kind of books are always based on the Authors and other contributors recollections of the time, and these are always exagerated and "sexed Up" to fit the story and should be viewed accordingly.

:wank:

Our home form needs to improve if we are going to keep a grip on 3rd. Murphy coming back is a big bonus and Gow Blackman and Humphrey all look to be in good form just now, so i think it will be a good win for us.

Totally agree that the referee did not lose us the match, but his totally inept display was a big factor. 1. Canning should have been Red Carded for bringing down Blackman, so after Hatley fucked up the pen we should have had an advantage. 2. Constant time wasting, diving, and blatant cheating by Hamilton was not dealt with, the sight of the hamilton player on the ground rolling in agony in the second half then peeking through open hands over his face to see if he had a free kick was embarassing. 3. The referee with a good view missing Imries,deliberate handball to keep Gow's header out. 4. Hamilton players kicking the ball away at every oportunity when play stopped, straight booking every time, but again no action from Thompson. It the ref had done his job properly then hamilton could quite easily have had at least 2 if not 3 men sent off. And as shit as we were i would have fancied us to get a result against those odds.

Before the game is the only time you seem to be able to get a pie these days, Kiosk in main stand ran out of hot water FFS !! so no Bovril. In house catering seems to be run by a bunch of amateurs

Never mind the Bad referee and Hatley's shit penalty we got the tactics wrong from the start, Why was Forbes on the pitch for 90 mins, he contributed nothing ? We would have been far more effective with Gow, Jennings and Humphrey in the middle with sutton in front of them and Blackman and McHugh up front a sort of 4-3-1-2 formation. Everybody in the ground could see Forbes was worse than a man short so why did Broonie and Knox not see it. Every time the ball went forward nothing stuck, Sutton is as slow as a week in the jail but he wins the ball in the air, and that's what we were missing.

Agree 100% it's about time we pumped this mob, bring it on

No surprise there then, the whole world knew on Wednesday night what the draw would be, "the old firm kept apart" again, you could'nt make it up, there are dark forces at work here

very sad news, i am old enough to remember him playing he is a true well legend

5th Feb 2011 is Scottish cup R5, and 12th march 2011 is Scottish Cup R6, 26th March will probably be the CIS cup final, which hopefully we will be in.

Dont know what instructions the East stand stewards had on Tuesday night but i saw them confiscating the beach ball FFS !!! Since the club outsourced the stewarding we seem to have nothing but Jobsworth fuds on duty. I have E-mailed fir Park about them, particularly after the Celtic league game, but i am still waiting for a reply . Maybe we should be raising a complaint to the supporters trust and let them raise it with the club

If Jennings is out along with Lasley we will be a bit light in midfield, but i still think we will be strong enough to beat Accies, our recent record against them is good especially at Fir park. If Murphy is out it might be the time to give mcHugh ar start as he has a bit more pace up front than Sutton. The midfield could then be Humphrey, Hatley, and Gow, with Sutton playing in front of them, for an unconventional 4-3-1-2 formation
