brainier

Just watched the highlights, disappointed we didn't get a penalty at the end. Maybe Stevie O'Reilly hadn't placed a bet on one.

At last, it may have taken 39 minutes but we have just been awarded our first free kick!

On the topic of Celtic's black players I found this on the net. THERE were actually four Brazilians on trial at Celtic, although only two, Ayrton Inacio and Marco Di Sousa, played in the reserves. The two others, Jorge Farah and Fernando Consul, played in practice games. Although all four only stayed a short time at Celtic, Inacio later turned out with Clydebank.

SPL record for us but not a club record. We did 6 away wins in a row in 81/82 Tynecastle would be great to equal that, Ibrox would be fantastic to beat it.

Leicester interest in Humphrey according to the Sunday Express how much?! Bite their hands off.

BBC news in the sports section next morning reported that the ground was evacuated due to a fire.

Home to Hearts in August, almost at the end of the game, two yellows.

BBC news channel appear to have realised that we won 1-0 but still say Celtic are top of the table. Oh dear.

Hold that result everyone. According to the BBC News just on our game finished goalless!

BBC can't count either

Three days notice!! Holy shit. I'll send you some half filled pages.

A few years back Partick's Rod McDonald picked up a second yellow for crossing himself as he left the pitch at half time in a match. The referee perceived it as a slight against the opponents (Rangers, if you must ask). That shows the bias of certain match officials to bend over and 'protect' the Old Firm but also shows the potential for the slightest action being misconstrued or twisted to suit the agenda of any steward or policeman.

I believe that Flow is our highest earner. £50 a week and all the pies he can eat.

Right enough Busta. While for the most part our defensive minded players did their job we lacked creativity where it mattered. I'm not blaming the ref for our defeat. In fact I'm not even sure we could have won playing against ten men for 81 minutes.

JPR Gordon, Rollo Kyle...Callum Murray. The better team won, no argument, but it could all have been so different. Callum's errors will not go into Motherwell folklore like the other referees listed above but his decisions influenced the course of the game and it could all have been so different. All we asked for before the game was a strong referee and we didn't get one. Sadly, we didn't get a great performance from our players either and even on a level playing field we might have been found wanting.

I'm so excited I think I've just shit myself!

It might not be a wedding but hopefully Celtic are gonna get fucked.

10th anniversary Scottish Cup winners top. Claret and amber Hurley trainers and claret and amber Ted Baker socks. Jeans in regulation blue to wind up the Tims.

I would suggest Tom Green who appeared in a sketch in a Motherwell top but I had to look up Wiki to remember his name myself!

And all to a background of Bruce Springsteen singing My Hometown. Then again, maybe not. Admittedly not the best joke in the world but your reaction is a tad harsh, no?

Whereas I think there's not much between the two and thought Hutchy did ok today. Only worry would be if his knock affects his fitness. As for Gunning, well, he lost Samaras at the second and did he not misjudge a header at Tannadice as well that cost us a goal? Apart from that I'd go with the rest of your team if we play a 4-5-1. If we go 4-4-2 I'd play Jeffers with Sutton up top, Humphrey and Murphy wide and Hateley at right back although it would put a lot of pressure on Lasley and Jennings to control the midfield.

"Yesterday for once mfc wasn't tucked away in there corner of motherwell being so quiet nobody give a shite about them, They were in the town centre as proud as could be. In the faces of old firm fans and saying, this is our town." And all to a background of Bruce Springsteen singing My Hometown. Then again, maybe not.

I'm not saying we shouldn't sing "If you hate Neil Lennon", in fact I'll gie it laldy on that one. Just to be aware that the pro-Celtic media will latch onto anything to deflect criticism of him or Celtic supporters and we don't want dragged into the firing line if we can help it.

With all the flak currently flying about the Neil Lennon incident at Tynecastle and threatened subsequent actions we have to be aware of our own actions on the day. Some press are reporting that both Hearts and Celtic face consequences because of the songs they sang on the night. About time too, although the other culprits across Glasgow are conveviently forgotten. It make it very important that we, as a support, do not react in the wrong way at the Final. Let's keep the songs purely football based. If that includes "If you hate Neil Lennon" then we would argue that is because of his actions and comments as a manager and not because of any sectarian anti-Northern Ireland Catholic reason. Celtic fans would think otherwise and no doubt make it a reason to point fingers at our support as they are currently at their paranoid and deflecting worst. We have to be careful on the day so let's keep the moral high ground and don't let the team down.

Looking at those pics it makes me thankful that the press haven't cottoned on and turned this into the Phil O'Donnell Final like they did with the Davie Cooper Final!
