My main issue with it is that it reeks of being done just get a "we got a tribute in first" GIRUY to Celtic fans, who will undoubtedly do their thing in the 18th minute. I also agree with Mitch, the whole Phil thing begins to be repetitive and lack any real meaning after it's constantly trotted out.

Why even bother what they've got to say anyway? I know some decent Celtic fans both at work and in circles of friends, and just about every one of them has said it'll be a close game, far from a foregone conclusion, and have wished the 'Well as much luck as possible without actually winning the game! The folk on that site, however, are all your manky, deluded, inbred c***s that follow Ra Sellick and think they're a part of some political cause. Who gives a fuck what they've got to say? They exist to be laughed at.

Read the first two pages and then got bored. Personal highlight from what I did read was this beauty: Outstanding chat!

Buzzing like fuck.

Mon the John Boyle, some boy!

And given there's still tickets on public sale today and tomorrow, I think we can safely say their attendance hasn't stopped a proper 'Well fan from getting a ticket.

Surely it would have to be both?

This '91 party thing on Friday night & then Joe's flat in the 'Well from 7.30am onwards on Saturday. Cloudy's bus to Hampden at 1pm. Then post-match, wasted in Motherwell somewhere - win* or lose. * - Preferable option. Obviously.

Do share the figures.

Turned into? Surely they were gloryhunters from the start - hence why they were there in 91!

To be fair, I'm surprised MJC hasn't been going all out and peddling this shite about how the world's going to end on Saturday!

Aye, it's the Motherwell Foreign Legion. Although Marcos and Alex of the Motherwell Armada were at Inverness away and the CIS Cup Semi against Rangers so they're veterans by now...

You can tell him in Joe's bit on Saturday morning!

Exactly. If there was going to be a section of Rangers fans waving Union Jacks and singing "We Arra Peepul" then I could understand issues and I despise Rangers as much as the next man, but if there are Rangers fans going to the game to support Motherwell then I fail to see the problem. The vast majority of the support are still going to be Motherwell fans anyway. My mate is a Rangers die-hard but is coming along in a group of 19 'Well fans to support Motherwell and enjoy the day. Putting aside the panic stations over our ticket allocation, threads about how we're probably going to lose, issues with Rangers fans being in our end, issues with Celtic fans being in our end, fears that Motherwell fans will sing anti-Lennon songs, greeting over the way we're overlooked in the press, arguments over standing/sitting in your own/another seat - is anyone actually just looking forward to the Scottish Cup final or am I the only one?!

One of my mates is coming and he's a Rangers fan. Is he allowed?

Ach well, swings and roundabouts, eh?

What a fucking bizarre creature you are! All joking aside, if you can't look forward to our first Scottish Cup final in twenty years, then you're quite clearly following the wrong sport.

Spot on. Any less than a midfield three and we'll be completely over-run in the middle of the park - the game could be over by half-time. It's no coincidence we've been pumped every time we've played Rangers apart from the 4-5-1 at Hampden in the CIS Cup semi-final.

Fair enough. My prediction is still 2-0 Motherwell and this thread to get binned by 5pm.

It's the week before our first cup final in two decades. You're MEANT to get carried away. Who gives a fuck about honesty and realism (apart from MJC)?!

Ah, so by "post your honest predictions" you actually meant," let's have a proper downer thread where everyone says we're going to get humped". 2-0 Motherwell.

2-0 Motherwell.

Wouldn't worry, he'll probably get a slap and rightly so.

Couldn't care less about the result, from our point of view this is all about resting players who need it, giving game time to players who need it, and booting fuck out of Celtic players who need it. Only realised last night it's not on Virgin Media so I'll probably head to the boozer for it.
