Brilliantly struck from Goss.

Mandron and KvV up top then? Hopefully they get the service they need.

Oh right, apart from the three examples that I quoted above? And I'm sure there's more I could find if I wanted. But hey, you batter in talking shite and making things up if it keeps you warm. I mean granted I can be negative and have talked shite on occasion on here during my time, but who hasn't? You for example have said more than once that you would rather see us qualify for Europe than winning a trophy which I think is utterly bonkers but I respect your right to have that view...

Saying “I fancy us to win 3-0” alone would have been enough for an April fools.

I hope so too, though I must point out that I correctly predicted that we would lose to Rangers the other week. (And yes I know, bigger club, bigger budget, all those glory hunters behind them, it’s easy to predict a loss in that type of game yada-yada-yada. But I was right regardless on that occasion.) Our record against Hibs is dreadful, something like one win in the last eleven meetings and I don’t see that changing on Saturday I’m afraid. We are absolutely not out of the woods yet by any means and we need other results to go our way this weekend and we also need maximum points from the home double header coming up before we can start relaxing a bit.

That’s our next manager confirmed then. 🙄

2-0 home win.

Davie Cooper died 28 years ago today aged only 39. A true Motherwell great and part of the famous Scottish Cup winning side.

If by “they were pilloried for the action in plenty of circles” you are referring to the Well Bois holding a joint protest with the Green Brigade then yes I know they were, and rightly so. And “it’s never happened again” then good! Rightly so. Because they were shown by the unwillingness of the wider support to join in with or support them on that that they were in the wrong for it and weren’t supported by the majority of our fanbase. And yes, I’m “peddling that again” and I will keep doing so as long as that group keep acting like the Green Brigade with their behaviours, statements and victim mentalities. If you fly with the crows and all that…

The incident mentioned in the above post where Celtic fans/The Green Brigade/Celtic fans led by the Green Brigade trashed the South Stand at Fir Park happened in December 2013 and rightly had the majority of the Motherwell support up in arms at both it happening and the lack of action taken against the perpetrators. Then, less than two years later in October 2015, the ‘Well Bois’ participated in a joint protest with the Green Brigade/Celtic support over supposed unfair treatment of football fans. In other words they stood shoulder to shoulder with the same group who had caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to Fir Park with little to no comeback on it. I don’t speak for anybody else but in my eyes that group lost most if not all credibility they had when complaining about harsh treatment by police and stewards there and then. And that is before you take into account some of the behaviours they have displayed on more than one occasion since then. If they don’t want to be seen as ‘Green Brigade wannabes’ then don’t stand along side them greetin about the police when they attract attention for their bad behaviour and stick two fingers up to the club they support and the rest of your fellow fans in the process. And don’t release big chest-puffed-out statements about boycotts full of poor grammar and spelling and then deliver a half arsed attempt at a boycott like they did on Saturday. Like I said in my first reply on this subject, everything about this episode is very Green Brigade.

Perhaps spelling it ‘Bhois’ might be more appropriate…

I don’t see us getting anything at Easter Road so the Livi - Utd home double header is massive for us and will play a big part in whether we survive or not.

Yeah but but, budgets! finances! size of support! Clubs our size can’t be expected to beat the Old Firm! I mean it’s not as if Killie, Ross County, St.Johnstone, Accies, St.Mirren have fared any better…..oh wait… …Welcome to our great wee club!

The honest answer to your question is that I don’t know. Perhaps they know more than I do, perhaps they are misguided. Who knows? Only those people do. And that’s not a criticism by the way, they may well know of incidents that I and others don’t. Secondly, as you yourself appear to acknowledge, the ‘protest’ today wasn’t very good. And did it achieve anything in terms of the supposed objective of the whole thing? Only time will tell but I’d be surprised if it did. Finally, if it had disrupted the ‘matchday experience’ then some would moan? Well I don’t speak for anyone else but I certainly would moan about it! And I would make no apology for it either. To me if you have a group of fans actively disrupting the game or the match day for regular fans then that is a perfectly reasonable reason to moan!

Funny you should say that, because that’s exactly the message that this entire ‘episode’ sent out, from the big long winded statement yesterday to the ham-fisted protest today.

Other results have been not to bad for us today with Ross County losing and Utd & Killie both drawing from winning positions.

The first Rangers goal was pathetic from Kelly. Getting beat at his near post like that was Stevie Woods-esq

It genuinely would be less annoying if they played “Always look on the bright side of life” after a loss.

We never learn playing this mob. If you sit in deep, play one up front with no support then you will get nothing. With Obika out then Tierney or McKinstry should have started today, or Mandron if he was fit enough.

Well that was typical Motherwell v Rangers fare. Cheap goals conceded, no luck with decisions and just pure frustration. I need to see all the key decisions again but the length of time it took to confirm their 3rd goal when it was obvious they were going to allow it was ludicrous. And on a final note I wish to Christ we would stop playing Chumba fucking wumba after every defeat. Apart from being a shite song it just rubs it in getting beat.

It was daft from Slattery no doubt but Cantwell made sure he made the most of it. The same player that got away with niggles and fouls all afternoon.

That Cantwell is another detestable cheating bastard that Rangers have acquired. Mop headed prick.

Obika injured now as well I take it? No doubt that’ll be the last we see of him this season too now. That team is never scoring today.

A draw would be great but just can’t see it. 0-3

So when they as a group collectively decide to boycott the first fifteen minutes of a match at the ground of the club they support, or walk out as a group or disrupt matches by throwing stuff on to the park…is that them valuing their own status more or that of the club? As I said there are decent guys in that group and I believe their intentions are good towards the club, but the saying goes “you are judged by the company you keep”. To me that group have became a bit of a ‘Green brigade wannabe’ bunch over the last few years with their petty grievances and behaviour.
