Anyone who doesn't say they want Aberdeen in the semi-final is fucking mental. And I don't really mind where it's played, although Easter Road looked impressive when I was at the U21 game recently so I would take that.

The 'Well are fucking brilliant.

Nonsense.

Capitulation ca·pit·u·la·tion 1. The act of surrendering or giving up. 2. A document containing the terms of surrender. 3. An enumeration of the main parts of a subject; a summary.

Aye, the wee right back (number two for the black team) was a midget who looked Arabic or something along those lines. McCluskey came on as a sub in the second half for the black team and played right wing, scoring and then missing a penalty. And this Salim geezer is the guy who looked tidy at left wing for the black team (pretty sure he was number nine) and isn't the same guy who is going to sign for Rangers. For the record, all three of the aforementioned players looked much better than Estaban Casagolda.

You were clearly just trying to swatch the texts of the burd in front of you, and coincidentally snapped John Boyle at the same time.

Is it the Dundee United tangerine and black banners we're talking about?

4-0 Motherwell (Murphy x2, Sutton, Blackman).

Agreed mate, that was the first thing I thought when I watched the highlights! The finish was world class - if that had been Berbatov or Rooney we'd have been hearing about how fantastic the technique was!

I don't remember anyone "joining in" at the time, as far as I remember it was just Haggischomper's catch phrase and signature. Regardless, it was originally just a response to us playing Hearts in the cup started by Haggischomper (much like the "Bring The Fuckers On" chat about playing Celtic in the semi-final a few years ago), not an actual "nickname" for the Jambos. Actually referring to Hearts more than five years later as "FHW" is, in my opinion, pretty cringe-worthy.

Outstanding! Christ, how long ago was this?! I look so young and fresh-faced! In fact, pretty sure this was the Inverness game that a few of us went up on the Friday in the Megabus. You can make out the cut on the side of my nose where I'd been hooked by a random teuchter the night before! EDIT: In fact, if it is then that probably means these photos were taken on the train back home before the stop at Perth where I jumped off a wall and knocked myself clean out! Some trip that was!

Ridiculously awful patter.

Got my tickets in for the 8.41 already! Good times! Means I have two tickets for the 7.06 that are unrefundable though. Anyone want to buy them for a couple of quid?

Fuckin' harsh Daza, poor Dead Star.

I'm gonnae get involved in this over the weekend, and hopefully get a refund on the ticket I've already bought! EDIT: Wait - that just worked!? I didnae think your code would work!? I'll believe it fully when the tickets arrive but could be game on for the Motherwell Armada!! EDIT AGAIN: Terms & conditions state the code entitles you to buy "TWO tickets in ONE TRANSACTION". Delighted!

Rangers or Celtic at Fir Park. Fuck all the "anyone but the Old Firm" stuff, I'd much rather do them in the quarters at Fir Park than get pounded at Hampden in the semis.

Oh aye, if it goes to plan it's a belter - but there's a massive chance it'll be straight off a night shift into a day spent looking at the ticket for the train he missed!

Aye, I was fuckin' right - it's like a conspiracy to stop the Motherwell Armada making it to Inverness! He's supposed to be working nightshift the night before and might not even make it to Queen Street for 7.06am. He probably will, but it's not guaranteed and we've already bought the tickets. So if anybody with two tickets for the 8.41am train there who genuinely doesn't mind getting the 7.06am instead - in exchange for a couple of pints in Inverness obviously - you'd be an absolute hero.

That's up to £40 now anaw mate. Looks like the Motherwell Armada will need to head up on the 7.06am effort! That said, Marcos'll be working night shift the night before so it would still be much, much better for us to get the 8.41am train. So if any generous soul with two tickets for that train would be willing to swap and go up on the 7.06am instead, feel free to let me know in exchange for a pint!!

Scotrail are fuckin' at it! Went onto the site earlier to buy two singles for me and the Spaniard for the 8.41am to Inverness, with the plan of getting the Megabus home. Nae hassle, two seats for £10.30 a piece - clear as day. So I clicked on them, and went to pay but had to enter my Scotrail username & password. I cannae mind my password so I clicked to have it e-mailed to me. During this time, the seats available for £10.30 magically vanished and by the time I got my password, the price per seat was up to £40.80. Fuckin' load of shite. Gonnae phone them tomorrow. No danger I'll get cheap tickets, I just feel like abusing fuck out of a Scotrail worker. So aye, still no further along with actually getting to Inverness. If anybody has two spare Friends Fare briefs for the Inverness train at 8.41am let me know so the Motherwell Armada can make the journey! There's a pint or two in it for you...

Aye, I reckon the only way we'd get on the train would be to pay at least the difference! Now looking at the train up with everyone else, and the superb Megabus on the way home...

Just a thought... ye can get Friends Fare for the 16:53. Obviously that's far too early, but what are the chances of the nice people at Scotrail letting us on a later train if we claim we simply missed the last one!? Straws. Clutching them.

The 20.15 is a no go on the Friends Fare now. Gutted. My Spanish mate is going to be raging anaw, he had his heart set on a complete culture shock for this game! If anybody has any spares, gie's a shout! If not, it'll be the pub and Soccer Saturday on the 6th of November.

A very good point. These wee neds must be stopped or it could only be a matter of time before chants and songs from the Motherwell end are replaced for 90 minutes with...

A Spanish mate of mine has been interested in Motherwell for a while. He's an Espanyol fan, and he simply can't comprehend how we can only get 4,500 for games in a stadium that holds over 13,000, and he simply can't understand how a football team can have such a shite atmosphere - especially at home. He's been keen to come to a game for a bit, mainly to see what the atmosphere's like. It's actually a little embarrassing telling him that there's no point in going to just about any Motherwell game if he's after atmosphere. However, he really wanted to so I told him Inverness away is a good day out, a laugh and there's usually a good sing-song, albeit with a small number of fans. For his sake, I hope to fuck the "wee neds" are going to Inverness anaw.
