Anyone know who actually 'penned' it?

That is absolutely brilliant - really got the 'juices' flowing this fine morning - only 3 more sleeps

Hiya Dougie - hiya mate

Any idea who might take such a bet

Agree totally - no better time to sell strips than on the goodwill feeling of a cup final appearance - strange.

Surprised at that too Haggis! Wonder if anyone would like to bet who our new sponsors might be?

LOL from what I've been told - they have. Anybody got access to Provan Sports back shop?

Allegedly they do all the alterations to Kieran Tierney's clothing and felt obliged to dress the window in both - who cares this is Motherwell, not the East End of Glasgow. Screw pandering to the oft offended. @maxywell get the flags up mate - if the 'Plastic Paddies' are going to be that pathetic - they're not worth having as customers in the first place (similar could be said for your business partners ). Delighted that Boots and Auld's amongst others haven't taken such an insular attitude Well done to NL Council for at least showing support for the local team - which is more than can be said for some local businesses - Greggs to name but one.

Or Elliott Frear - you just know you've not got it when Foster has you in his back pocket. Dreadful performance

Yes - got mine on first day of sale - see you there @postiejim - the "upper singing section"

He should be sent packing - not because of what he did yesterday - but just because he's shite. Couldn't care less what players do in their spare time - it's fairly obvious that most if not all, certainly Scottish players, will have allegiances to either Rangers or Celtic, but as long as they do the business ON the park against whichever team they support, they can do whatever they like (within reason) off it. Really nothing to see here.

What a lot of pish gets spouted on these boards - we're in a cup final (the second this season) and we want to complain what end of Hampden we get allocated - FFS I'm just glad we're there - get over it. There's only a "Rangers and Celtic" end in the minds of the fans - to others it's the East and West Stand.................or wait is it the West and East Stand. Who gives a flying f..k

Wonderful sentiment from Ally and great to see him return to the scene of his greatest moment. Played golf at a corporate day with him a number of years ago and he was a perfect gent throughout - made a big fuss when he found out I was a Motherwell fan. Felt like a kid for the day, I was in total awe lol.

Interesting topic........

I'm sure they will have some restrictions in place - but it could get interesting when the Old Firm come calling.

Keep it tight first ten minutes then tear intae them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too mate - as always. You gonna make it for a wee tipple, or is it too early?

You could well be right Yoshi - just hope the players don't have the same mind set - I'm sure they won't. We get to so few showpiece games, that I find it really strange that the potential next game should have such an effect on the feelings for this one. These are one-off games and as @Squirrelhumper says further back the thread "You never know".

I hope there's more enthusiasm within the squad for this game, than there seems to be among the support. Don't think I've ever witnessed such a 'low-key' build up for a semi-final in all the years I've been following the 'well. Just doesn't seem to be much appetite for the game at all

Hard to imagine that 4 of that squad are no longer with us.

Unless there were official figures to back it up I’m not sure it is significantly less. From where we were in the South Stand about 6,000 looked about right in the League Cup semi as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks mate

Thanks Dezz - hardly seems worth the effort, as there was talk when I was in getting my tickets that the buses would likely leave around the 10.30 am mark. Again I've checked the official site and can't see any confirmation of departure times on buses either.

Apologies if I've missed it - but any word whether the Club managed to secure 'early' drinking privileges?

Just seen the goals on SSN - Trevor didn't exactly cover himself in glory at the second - now there's a sentence I didn't think I would type this season!!!!!!!
