About 10 years ago I was on a family holiday in Gran Canaria, and spotted the Hibs player Keith Wright in the same hotel when I arrived, but I believe that may have been his last night as I never saw him the rest of the holiday. However, later that week I did meet Mickey Weir, who at the time was with Motherwell, and he was an absolute gem of a fella. My mate Ian, from Portsmouth, was once on the books of Spurs but got sold to Pompey as a youth, so the inside stories and tales those two swapped were terrific. Mickey was a right good lad with a lovely family.

Flow, get this sorted come on.

Going on previous experiences you could probably just wear it once or twice and the lettering will fall off anyway.

I would agree with keeping Craigan and Lasley, and possibly Fitz the rest i think have seen better days anyway and don't really fit in with gannon's system. YOU DON'T FUCK WITH BIG MARLON ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A WEE LASSIE

The two semi-finals in the mid 1970's win it for me. I found the Airdrie defeat harder to take though, as it was a free kick given because Stuart Rennie had taken too many steps, that just seemed so petty at the time I was incensed. We had lost the first league game of the season, 1994-95, against Rangers at Ibrox but we then went on a massive unbeaten run that took us up to mid-December and a home match against Aberdeen, it was a wild windy and blustery day, out on the touchline near the dugouts Chris Mccart hooked the ball skywards and it caught in the wind travelling back to our goal where the keeper caught it, only for the ref, Louis Thow, to give a free kick for a pass back. Aberdeen scored and we lost 1-0 shortly after that the wheels came off the barra, so to speak and, while we still finished second we were well adrift of Rangers, when we had been nip and tuck with them from the start of the season. Craig Beattie's 96th minute leveller in the 4-4 game really pissed me off as well.

The only one I can think of, thet hassnt been mentioned yet, was in the semi-final against Celtic in 1985. We were top of the First division and would eventually win the league and get promoted but that day we were just supposed to make up the numbers, but we drew 1-1 and took them to s replay. It was that goal scored by, if memory serves, Paul Smith, that sent me reeling down the Hampden terracing.

I've checked this on the databsae and it seems my first match at Fir Park may have been in 1961, when we beat Airdrie 5-2 Bloody hell, next year I'll be into my sixth decade watching Motherwell.

The Partick player I always hated was Brian Whittaker, a complete and utter thug on the park, he committed one of the worst fouls I ever saw at Fir Park, in a Scottish Cup Tie he hit the winger* so hard he went up in the air and landed on the trackside. I ran from the back of the main stand to the front to scream abuse at the bastard. A couple of years later my mate and his family met him and his family on holiday and said he was a gem of a guy. Unfortunately I believe the guy was killed in a car accident. * It was either Gahagan or Clinging I can never remember, think it was Clinging though because he was out for weeks, and I dont think he played much after he came back.

Bobby Moore was in the Fulham team we played in the Texaco Cup in the mid 1970's

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

Not as frustrated as he once was seeing he won another cap yesterday.

Met loads of players over the years but none too recently. Lived in Hamilton in the late 1970's and early 1980's drank fairly regularly with Jim Bett and Davie Cooper in the Bickering Bush and The Barley Bree. The night we won the Cup I was in Angels in Uddingston when in walked Jim Griffin and Chris McCart that put the icing on the cake for me that day.. I met Tom Boyd in Capo's one night as well and he was a real gent. Used to get the 240 to Fir Park with Jim McCabe, I was going to watch and he was going to play, changed world.

I dont think it needs to be a revolution, I believe most would agree that the Trust started off with the best of intentions but, in some people's eyes, it lost it's way a wee bit. In my opinion it needs to get back to the ideals it had in the beginning and start to channel them in the right direction.

Rest in Peace

Fabulous, they must be really proud, absolutely delighted for them. They bring credit to the club.

Your every post contradicts that statement.

Not at all, I'm pointing out that when you add an adjective to the profanity it makes it more personal and therefore worse.

You are one thick bastard. Do you see what I did there?

Firstly, lets deal with the standing problem, this is a health and safety issue and may also be an insurance thing as well. Simply put, the seating area isn't built for standing, for safety reasons you need to be able to take a step backwards or forwards, that just isn't possible with seats in front of, and behind, you. To keep themselves right they HAVE to tell you to sit down, then if you fall over the seat in front you have no comebacks. That's why they ALWAYS tell you to sit down, most clubs also put it in the programme and announce it over the tannoy as well. I'd be extremely surprised if Motherwell didn't do this. As for the "it's just words" crap. You can call me a bastard, and I'll take that on the chin because, I'll admit, I can be a bastard at times so it's fair comment. You call me a fat, ugly, f****n, orange, black, bald, or stupid bastard and I'll break your jaw. You see, when people qualify the word bastard with an adjective it's the adjective that's designed to hurt most. They search for the worst thing they can think of to hammer home the point. I'd agree we're all juust bastards but as I said it's the adjective that's designed to hurt, not the profanity.

Every time I read the title of this thread, I find myself singing "send your camel to bed"

It would be a big step up from Cheerleader though, do you think he's ready for it?

As it has now reached the first team , I don't think the club are under any illusions about the extent of the problem.

In all honesty the best tops I've had over the years have been from Xara, I've got the black training top, and a black Polo shirt both of them still top quality and there isn't a week goes by without me wearing both of them.

Not this morning it wasn't bloody hell everywhere I looked there was some arrogant bugger shouting the odds LOL, never mind, we'll hammer you at Eastlands. Tell me mate, do you go along with the consensus of opinion in my local last night, "I'm glad we beat you, but I wish it hadn't been that scouse git that scored it" kind of sums it up, one guy even said he'd rather it was a draw. Pretty sad eh?

It's embarrassing enough selling shoddy gear to the fans, but outfitting the first team with the same sloppy crap is way beyond embarrassment, it's an absolute disgrace. Regardless of anything else clubs like ours rely heavily on sponsorship to keep going, and you can bet the sponsor isn't going to be too happy seeing their name flutter to the turf letter by letter. If he knows we're well aware of the situation, but that no-one had the foresight to give the strips a wee press at a higher temperature before sending the team out in them, he's going to be doubly unhappy.
