AlmostFrazzled

I'd rather we brought in 1 player who costs a bit more in wages but immediately steps into the first team, as opposed to a Pat Fenlon style sign 9 players every transfer window.

The only 'proper' black boots there is:

This "Levante are pish" patter amuses me, alright they're not exactly Barcelona but by fuck they are an effective side. They're a better side than Panathanaikos, that's for sure.

Ojamaa shot Biggie and Tupac. Well seeing as he's being blamed for everything else wrong in the world, might as well pap this on him too.

I think we got beaten by a better team. They are a very organised outfit. First goal, and I shall use one of the first 3 things I was ever taught at football training to keep it short, play to the fucking whistle. Go, make the challenge, then when the ball is out of play argue about it. Second goal, we were caught all over the shop. Hammell wrong side of his man again and we were punished. My main gripe about tonight wasn't our performance, the result or any of the players on the park. But the fans. In particular the old dickhead sitting next to me in the Cooper. See if all you're going to do is turn up and hurl abuse at everyone in claret & amber just stay at fucking home. Alright, it's frustrating watching a team snuff us out after going 2-0 up. But this guy was at it for 90 minutes. Higdon chested the ball down neatly to Ojamaa, this guy is up hurling abuse at Higdon. Honestly, if this game had extra time I think I'd have had an embolism. I bit my tongue and only contested a few points with him, but that was a struggle.

Randolph. Would have been an embarrassing scoreline but for a few great saves from the guy. Second choice would be Cummins.

From the looks of things, he's done a 'Faddy'.

For: The Juke's equaliser vs Hibs. Against (Not at Fir Park, but at "home"): Bogdan Stancu's screamer for Steaua Bucharest.

Is it just me that would rather play for less money, but play for a first team every week? He looked like a great player in the making for us, but then patched all that and moved to a team where the chances of a starting place in the first XI are between slim and fuck all.

Forbes' was a screamer. But give Stancu his due, that was a fucking screamer. That's probably one of the best goals I've ever seen against us. The power and the dip was world class. Also, Paul Slane. I wonder if he's enjoyed his move to Celtic. Completely stupid move on his part. Moved out of the starting XI of an SPL side to not even get near the bench at Celtic.

There's been fantastic goals for different reasons. Some of the passing in the lead up to the goals on the first day of the season was nothing short of beautiful.

I wouldn't grudge Adams it. Lennon doesn't deserve it, he's won a league which I think my Mum could have managed a Celtic team to win it. And he's made a complete arse of the 2 cups, and been a general cock to the world.

Me too. But for added humour, it would have to be a dive. Which was 2 yards outside the box.

I could greet over how good his triple save at Tannadice was.

Hutch was an absolute monster today. He had one challenge on the Junkie in the box that was fucking outstanding. I think the Hutch is destined for far, far bigger things than Motherwell.

1-1 was fair. We were pish. Every pass seemed to be about half a yard short, and noone wanted to challenge for the second ball. Some hit from Law, mind.

Seemed a bit pointless to put a sub on with 89 minutes gone. Humphrey and Ojamaa were both absolutely knackered, should have punted Daley & Murphy on.

I refuse to count Roberto Martinez as a Motherwell "player". I genuinely cannot remember him ever being on the pitch. He used to warm up in front of the Cooper stand in his trainers.

I'd really love to see us take something from this. But I'd put my hat on an absolute hiding. I'm going 3, 4 or 5-0 to the h**s .

Big Charalalralrlrallaralambous fucked off a while ago now. I'm not even convinced he was a footballer.

Humphrey sounds like he's right up for this today.

I am but a child compared to those who saw Pettigrew, Graham etc. McFadden is probably the best I've ever seen at Motherwell. Even though he was a temperamental wean, for every time he'd mouth off and get booked he'd produce some moments of absolute 100% brilliance. Also, Jim Paterson. I loved big Jim. Stepover daft, so he was. ***Those of you with no understanding of a sense of humour: Yes I know Paterson isn't one of the greatest ever Motherwell players, but I'm being a bit tongue-in-cheek here.***

Here's a statement and a half: Ojamaa needs to learn from Leo Messi. He's our most dangerous player so teams double/treble up on him. This means there are players who have noone marking them. A wee bit more passing from the lad wouldn't go a miss, but I certainly am not calling for him to take the dribbling out of his game.

Stevie Hammell stays about 5 minutes up the road from me.
