On the subject of a pre-season game with Livingston anyone remember that Motorola Cup in 2000/2001 ? Sure we won 6-1 and Andy Goram lifted a trophy 🏆, memory may be playing tricks Both teams had the Motorola sponsors of course

Doubt too many will pay to see us play Livingston Wasnt expecting any glamour tie to be fair , though had hoped for maybe an English championship or League 1 club

With it being the last game of the season on Sunday it got me thinking about last games of the season in years gone past This one came to mind in May 2000, not seen much footage of it since and taken from a Rangers youtube channel For our younger fans who do not remember this game we played Rangers off the park on this day, then the fans invaded the park at the end of the game. A bit like the play-offs you could say

Never rated Craig Levein as a manager , strikes me as a decent guy though He is good on Sacked in the Morning with Amy Irons and seems like a guy who doesn’t take things too seriously , and good sense of humour Good programme also , listened to our own David Clarkson week or two back and a sad listen talking about that day in 2007

I would be taking Kettlewell over Craig Levein any day

Stuart Kettlewell has earned the right to be manager next season Was a really poor 15 game run between September-December , would have been worse had it not been for a good few draws Apart from the 15 game winless run just mentioned his time at the club has been a positive for me Sir Alex Ferguson was once a game away from being sacked and the rest was history as they say

9 goals in 2 games , a lot to be pleased about with that It has a slight sense of dejavu as we finished last year as well strongly with Kev Van Veen the star man , on a very positive note we should look upon it as finishing the season strongly with better days ahead Another day on the Well rollercoaster and enjoy it 👍 Another good thing this weekend , Airdrie got beat last night

5-1 to the Motherwell 5-1 to the Motherwell 😊

I have a lot of programmes still, I used to collect them even from games if I had not been there There used to be a guy who had a shop in Kilmarnock years ago, who had quite a good collection of Motherwell ones

Happy with a 4-1 win Wasn’t a classic at all , but take a 4-1 win anytime. Seen some negative comments already on the likes of Facebook about beating Livi etc but I’d rather just enjoy the 3 points and try focusing on the positives

Brilliant night , brilliant journey home on the supporters bus and what a game On paper that is a really good Motherwell side Enjoyed that run to the final in 2005 and the build up , with the exception of the game itself . Remember all the Well fans singing Is this the way to Amarillo just before kick off and the Rangers fans looking on bewildered no doubt that they were being outsung

Day off today so what better way to start the day , renew the season ticket Bought it online last year but fancied a wee trek up to Fir Park just for the sake of it 3 points tomorrow as well would be good

Funny funny to see the Rainjurs lose , I had been hearing all week how the league was won already , silence in work tomorrow now and no slagging Well Day of shocks all round with Liverpool and Arsenal losing Football a funny old game as someone once said

On reflection was a good thing we did not sign Kevin Van Veen back , and I was a big fan too

Would not be punching above our weight at all , Dundee just did

Liam Kelly won’t be starting the Euros also, not a chance, Scotland fan which I am Been decent for us in the last 3 years but not for the internationals

Was quite happy to get a draw today , not happy drawing but at the same time it could have been worse Definetly didn’t deserve a top 6 position this season as been far too inconsistent . To put a positive spin on things try and finish 7th , and play some of the younger players in these last 5 games

Interesting fact for football fans. Most people know that The Proclaimers are massive Hibs fans and that their fantastic song Sunshine On Leith is sung at games. But something a lot of you do not realise is that many years ago , brothers Craig and Charlie both worked as groundsmen for the club. They got the sack after players complained that the grass was too long and it ruined their passing game. The brothers blamed this on DIY store B and Q They went to Bathgate no mower, Linwood no mower, Irvine no mower, Lochaber no mower, Sutherland no mower, Lewis no mower, Skye no mower..........

After todays result no doubt the Govan mob will be fired up to get 3 points to prove a point which works in our favour Potentially a great afternoon next Saturday , or a disappointing one . Quite happy for the time being to watch the Dundee highlights again later tonight , then see what happens

Well Well Super Well Super Motherwell

Just what I was thinking After 90 minutes on that pitch today guaranteed it will be in a lot worse condition after the game , even more so if any rain due

Shocking that we are having a pitch inspection again at 1pm No consideration for anyone travelling up to this game Final decision should have been made last night if we are playing at a different venue or behind closed doors

This was exactly my thoughts Poor game , draw definitely a fair result

Definitely top 6 still on No reason why we can’t beat both Dundee and Hibs as I do believe not too much between most of the sides at all this season

Dundee and Hibs were both winning though Ross County look to get a late point , will take that
