Leeds were shite in the 80's so I'm pretty sure the Leeds fans would rather not have their heads stuck there!! The fact remains that Leeds are revered and despised in equal measure and despite not being in the premiership have a massive fanbase who have been through

Can only echo what other posters have said. There is real opportunity to get some points on the board early doors with these fixtures, but it is Motherwell afterall....

This.

The return of McFadden was a big draw, but this is the return of McCormack!! (whom in all seriousness I hope doesn't get any pelters) Gradel, Becchio and Snodgrass well worth watching also.

Leeds have probably got a better travelling support than nearly every other team in England, including Man Utd!! And well you know it!! The "Dirty Leeds" tag, which was factually innaccurate was nowt to do with hygiene also!

I'd spew if Porter went to Killie. Could be him. Could be a few folk though.

I would've though there would've been a decent turnout to see Leeds from the 'Well support, but perhaps only if the apathy has lifted from the pathetic cup final performance.

Personally I'm delighted Leeds United are playing at Fir Park as they're my second team. I won't bore y'all with the reasons for this but they are many and varied.

Apparently there is a huge Well flag hanging off a bridge on the m74.

Every single win I've ever seen over those bastards has been enjoyed immensely.

Absolutely brilliant from jamie murphy. Great to see O'Brien and McGarry still care. That's a nice touch.

I've got Friday off aswell. Planning on heading back to Fir Park and get some goodies and then go a walk through the town and see the decorations. Got Monday off also as a safety net. Think about taking Tuesday off n'aw as a loss will see me unable to function in normal society for some time.....

My normal working week is awful at the best of times, but this week is becoming absolute torture. I'm a shambles already and now have the fear Saturday will be the most heartbreaking of my Motherwell supporting life! It's all too much!!!!!

I actually think that we have a better chance of winning the Cup now that Celtic have lost the League. Celtic and Rangers don't care about the Cup, unless they're playing each other. They're both so blinkered and parochial in their approach to football and life in general that they only care about getting one over on the other lot. Celtic winning the Cup won't make up for losing the league. On to the actual game.... I think it will go one of two ways. The first being glorious failure. We will be winning 1-0 approaching the 90 minute mark having played them off the park, missed numerous chances and had penalty claim(s) turned down only for Celtic to either scored two very late goals ala Skippy Sunday or equalise and go on and win in extra time. The second being a re-run of the 2005 CIS Cup Final.

All that matters is the cup final, but it comes to pass that we fail to turn up and/or get humped in the final then major questions need to be asked of the preparation in recent weeks. I really hope McCall and the players know what they're doing.

I have a spare ticket if anybodys interested. Pm me and we can arrange pick up.

hollis page saunders gunning ross humphrey forbes carswell pollock mchugh jeffers That would be my team aswell. And kick anything that moves as I wouldn't be surprised if Celtic employ that tactic. 5-0, 6-0 Celtic easy.

Siebsbarmyarmy sums it up for me. Lap of honour was embarrassing, not a smile amongst them. Hutchison, saunders jennings and humphrey bickering during the game. It's one thing not to go tearing into tackles but no running, chasing etc is really strange. I'd send out a team of boys at parkhead to be honest. I am actually dreading the cup final now. Absolutely pish. At least there won't be as far to fall now at least.

This is nothing short of astonishing. This review panel are going to have some job explaining this one away. Not that anyone in the press is going to ask any particularly demanding questions.

Whatever starting 11 McCall plans to play in the final should be the starting 11 that starts tomorrow night and all guns blazing right from the word go!! If tomorrow night turns out to be another insipid performance and we go on to get humped in the final major questions will be asked of how our preparation for the biggest game in 20 years was so apparently insufficient. Win the final and nobody will give a fuck however!

My cup final fever has somewhat evaporated after these 2 recent gubbings. Defeat of Killie will see it almost extinguished completely.

Utter pish. Another completely humiliating defeat. Chopping and changing the team probably hasn't helped but still. this is terrible preparation for the cup final.

I'll be standing up as much as possible singing but it will be directly in front of the seat my ticket has allocated me. You can't "sit where you want" at a fucking sell out all seated stadium!

That's keech. I'd like to think we'd kick up a stink about this.

I've got my tickets and my 3 extras are going to guys that I sit with every week. There is now a distinct possibilty that an awful lot of regulars are going to be disappointed by the looks of it and that sucks, whilst people that haven't been to Fir Park since the Odense game for instance get one through knowing a season ticket holder. Are the club going to challenge the measly unfair allocation or just accept this? I saw a couple of quotes from Leanne Dempster a couple of weeks ago but the situation has got very little press. We could easily shift 20,000.
