Tom Boyd is still to this day the last Celtic player to be red carded at Fir Park. In another 2-0 win for us on the 3rd April 1993. Over 30 years ago!

Maybe it’s just nostalgia as that’s the era I grew up in and starting following Motherwell in but the 1990s really were the best time football wise. The Cup win, 3rd, 2nd and playing Dortmund in Europe aside, the teams we had during that decade were great and had some terrific players.

My recent posts about Celtic and Tom Boyd have been based on my own experience of them and my opinions on them based on that. To be clear, a man who has openly disrespected us as a club on more than one occasion and has annoyed and showed disdain to Motherwell supporters, including Tam Cowan at a club event (it’s been mentioned on here before). And is associated with a club who have signed several players from us on the cheap, who regularly bully and control the rest of Scottish football for their own means and who’s supporters often openly glorify the death of one of our 91 Cup winning heroes and who label anyone who doesn’t like them as “a Rangers fan without the bus fare” and imply that to show dislike of Celtic automatically means a dislike of RCs and the Irish. Now what’s not to like about people and football clubs with outlooks like that? To suggest that anything that I have said about either has been examples of “red white and blue tinted hate everything green and white bigotry” is completely and utterly unreasonable and lacking any basis or rational thought. Im sorry if I hurt your feelings over Tom Boyd and Celtic mind you x

No. It’s just straightforward having an ability and willingness to think for myself and form my own opinions based on my own personal experiences as opposed to being a sheep and conforming to groupthink mentality. And to suggest that disliking Celtic more than Rangers equates to “red white and blue tinted hate everything green and white bigotry” is absolutely moronic talk. Even ‘bigoted’ moronic talk if the word ‘bigoted’ is applied correctly according to dictionary definition. adjective: obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. "they're pandering to a vocal minority of ill-informed and bigoted individuals"

Matter of opinion. As I said last week in my opinion no they are not. There is no Rangers equivalent to Tom Boyd apart from anything else.

Him and people like him are one of the reasons why I detest Celtic so much. That horrible chip-on-the-shoulder and manufactured victim complex which he uses to pressurise match officials into giving Celtic decisions. He even took part in their ridiculous ‘Anyone but Celtic’ film which they released to ramp up their conspiracy nonsense.

It's in our hands and I would rather be in our position just now than Dundee Utd's or Kilmarnock's but we are not officially 100% safe yet. One more win should be enough.

I couldn't stand Grant as a player but as a 'Celtic minded' pundit he's actually okay and usually reasonable in his comments. Compare and contrast him to Tom Boyd with his dribbling whining and chip on the shoulder about anything and anyone out with Celtic then Peter Grant is night and day.

Ideally we wouldn’t play Dundee Utd until we are officially safe but whenever we do play them I would be more confident of a result if we were to face them at Tannadice than at Fir Park for some reason. We of course should be playing them up there but you just never know. We need to cement our safety as soon as possible otherwise nerves could kick in.

I’ll be very surprised if he’s still here next season. He’ll be 32 in June so he’ll probably be looking for one last ‘bigger’ move and his agent certainly will be. I think he has a year left on his contract? So we should get a fee for him if he goes this summer but it won’t be anywhere near £1M though. He will be a big loss when he goes, as strikers who can bag you 20+ goals a season are hard to come by for clubs our size.

He’s gutted. GUTTED!

This makes todays point even better.

Our first point against Celtic since 2018 too. Finally we end that losing run.

Them and old Keevins over on Clyde. Get it right up them and Tom Boyd and the regulars in the Railway Tavern. Great result. But we’re not safe yet.

If this is still level at 90 minutes there will be about 10 minutes stoppage time.

Kelly took a fair knock to be fair, hence why they had Oxborough getting prepared.

Choke on that one Boyd ya walloper.

Indeed and it is absolutely delusional to suggest that just now. People need to get wise to this. We are not safe until we are safe and cannot finish 11th or even 12th. Spray paint the words “We are not safe yet” on the ceiling of your bedrooms and shout those words out every single night until the point where we can say with absolute certainty that we cannot be relegated this season if you have to, but at this moment in time we are NOT safe.

If and when we are officially, 100%, signed sealed and delivered safe then I’ll give everyone peace with it. Until then I’ll remain concerned about it.

We should be fine. But until we are then it is absolute nonsense to say that we are safe.

Yeah the last couple of weeks have been frustrating. Had Utd not scored the last minute winner against Hibs… Had we turned up against Utd at home last week and not threw away a 1-0 lead… If Utd and Killie didn’t both win today while we lose at Parkhead… It just has that feel of everything going against us just now and we could easily be sucked into trouble. We desperately need the post split fixtures to throw up some kind and winnable fixtures in the first couple of games so we can put this to bed asap.

Right, so it’s still mathematically possible for us to finish 11th then? Therefore we are not safe yet.

That’s true but we could really do without Utd, Killie and St.J all winning today. If those results stay the same then this should serve as a massive wake up call to anyone who thinks we are safe. It’s still in our hands, yes, but there is work to be done yet.

No we’re not. St.Johnstone now winning too. And 1-0 Celtic which means one thing = game over.

Dundee Utd and Kilmarnock both winning. Talk of us being already safe is wild.
