As a Trust member your posts are bound to reflect back on the Trust Yopur recent efforts, the attack on McGhee in the "Best team in 40 years" thread, the Canterbury thread, and now this one, have been nothing short of embarrassing, maybe not for you, but defiinitely to the Trust. My only exposure to the Trust is through Steelmenonline, therefore my major exposure is through you. That's why I am not a member. The answer is simple enough, either disassociate yourself from the trust or learn to curtail your ramblings.

Well what he actually said was, "the way we played LAST SEASON was AS GOOD AS any Motherwell team of the past 40 years" Not better than, not even the best, despite what the title of this thread says. I have to be honest here and say that the man has a point, I cant remember seeing a Motherwell side play like we did against Hibs at Easter Road in the League Cup, the way we took Aberdeen apart at Fir Park, just a few short weeks before Phil died, was magnificent, and, in both those games we were AS GOOD AS anything I can recall in the past 40 years. The author of the thread needs to learn to read, I'm pretty sure after Saturday's performance there are plenty things about McGhee you can moan about, but twisting his words and changing what he said to make a point is pathetic. Of course, if you will read the sun.

I was on holiday in Gran Canaria and my wife and I were having a last little sherbet before going to bed, when above us an almighty row started. A woman, for want of a better description was screaming at her partner, her accent was purest cockney and she was calling him "a fugging cahnt" and a "bleedin arsowel" it was quite comical in a way but the wife couldn't be arsed and went into bed. I stayed a wee while longer enjoying the cabaret and finishing my drink. When she shouted "and you'll never see my cahnt again in your life you cahnt" and little bits of paper began to float down onto my balcony. I gathered them up and discovered it was a torn polaroid picture, intrigued I began piecing it together. When I had finished the picture was of a woman, pulling her nightdress over her head. She was naked underneath and you could see everything but her face, and the bottom part of her left leg, I couldn't find that bit. The woman had a terrific figure really nice and I was admiring it when my wife came out to see if it had calmed down anyway. It took me about 10 minutes to convince her where the picture had come from but going over what we had heard we guessed that she had caught him showing the picture to someone and had went ballistic. To be honest she may not have known he had it, anyway the rest of the holiday was spent at the pool trying to put a face to the picture.

Very easy, in the five games we have left we've already played Killie, St Mirren and Falkirk twice at Fir Park and only once away. It's not rocket science.

You are having a laugh, surely. In my opinion these two are cut from the same cl;oth, do enough to win a contract then contribute sod all else. Both of them have taken a backward step since leaving Fir Park, Kerr puklled the same trick at hearts and was dumped on his arse. McBride will be playing in the First Division with Falkirk next season, the season after that ICT and Kerr will join them.

Oh God, you had to didn't you? You just had to bloody well ask?

...and I'm daft enough to think a "top quality performance garment" was a condom.

You didn't need to use the word deliberately, as the poster states the implication was there with your sarcastic use of the word 'conveniently' Yes, but not any less of a clown.

Superb, I am really impressed with the girl's team and they are a credit to the club. Keep up the good work Angie.

I think it's two points dropped as well, but I can see where Mcghee is coming from. With similar results all around us there is no change in the standings and a defeat would have meant a bigger setback, we are still unbeaten in the league and, in my opinion, this was our trickiest match of the run in. The Rangers game takes care of itself and I really think we are due to turn St Mirren over. I'm confident we'll make the top six and I dont believe 4th place is out of the question.

I dont think it's got anything to do with the intent, indeed I'm struggling to think of any beneficial intent from kicking down the door of a young family's home. It's the ramifications of his actions that this young thug should be paying for, a family having to be rehoused away from friends and relatives, leaving a heartbroken youg girl, at an impressionable age, having to make new friends in a different environment. A young disabled lad having to undergo trauma therapy, bad enough for someone with all their faculties but a huge step backward for a lad such as him. No, this young arsehole should be booted out of Fir Park forthwith and every other club in the land told to avoid him like the plague. His actions have changed this whole families lives, and what happens to him, he loses a couple of quid from his wage packet over the next few months. BOOT HIM OUT NOW.

Not really, it's Canterbury, I wouldn't waste my money on their stuff no matter how good it looks.

I knew some bugger would answer it and it would show up on this thread. Now we're doomed, it happens all the time, people on here a couple of weeks ago talking about fancying their chances against Celtic in the cup and we go out to St Mirren. We aren't even in the top 6 yet and people are planning for next years UEFA Cup. It's bloody ridiculous.

Yep, far better and far classier than anything Canterbury have provided for Scotland over the years.

The logic was there if you had chosen to look for it, Frazzle. Instead, as usual, you base your reply on what you think of the poster rather than what was posted. I made it clear at the beginning of this thread that I hated Canterbury's stuff, I have never seen a Canterbury top that I liked, whatever the sport. I reserved particular hatred for what they have done to the Scotland rugby top over the years, but I did not say that that was my reason for not liking next years Motherwell top. You may disagree with what I say but don't misinterpret me just to make a point. You are getting pettier by the day.

Can we please NOT jump the gun like this. Let's sort it out when it's a reality, not a hope.

Oh dear. What's wrong, you can't handle people with opinions? I've spouted enough opinions on here you shouldn't have to make things up. I don't recollect ever saying Scotland were shite, or the Trust for that matter (I may hold that opinion on some of their office bearers, but that's different) and it's a nice calm, almost balmy, summer's evening down here.

No!

It may very well have a purpose, but it takes the look away from the shirt, are you saying they cant produce that mesh in navy? I've never seen a half decent Canterbury shirt, my wife boufght me a Scotland rugby top a few years back it was by Canterbury and had a huge purple band across the chest. What's that about? You want to see a decent Rugby shirt take a look at the one Adidas have produced for this years Lions tour to South Africa. I'll be up in Motherwell before the season ends and I'll pick up a couple of retro shirts while I'm there, because I certainly won't be buying a Canterbury shirt.

Did you have to bring that back up.

I remember when I started going by myself, late sixties/early seventies, they seemed to play the same couple of songs every week, Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson, and In a broken dream by Python Lee Jackson. Rod Stewart as lead singer.

That's Trusts for you give 'em an inch....

Most of my family are Celtic fans, and most of my mates are Rangers fans. My dad was a Motherwell fan as was his dad, whom I never met. My dad took me to see Motherwell at Fir park when i was about 5 or 6, I remember the atmosphere vividly, the shouting, singing, and swearing. We won about 5-3 against Airdrie and it was a terrific afternoon, I was hooked. I talked about it all the way home, told my mum all about it when I got in, and fell asleep dreaming about it. I had never felt so emotionally involved in anything like that before. Just to be sure mty dad took me to a European match at Parkhead, Celtic v Basle, Celtic won 5-0 I believe, but I honestly couldn't have told you the score without looking it up. All I remember is the wee lights going on all over the place, and only realising years afterwards that it was people smoking. I thought the place was infested with fireflies. When I asked my dad the following day if Motherwell were playing at home on the Saturday and if we were going, he knew I was a Motherwell fan. Growing up, I never knew any other Motherwell fans, everyone where I lived supported one of the bigot brothers. So being a Motherwell supporter was like being a member of a very special, very select club. I enjoyed it and still do.

This is a letter from The Times today, and I have to say I wholeheartedly agree with it. Sir, It surely cannot be a coincidence that the recent(ish) form slump by both the Scottish and English rugby teams should coincide with the introduction of their current dispiriting strips. When I was learning my rugby as a youngster in Edinburgh during the 1960s and 1970s, Scotland were a force to be reckoned with — the team wore navy blue jerseys and white shorts. The English team were also a forceful presence — they wore white jerseys and white shorts without designer logos that look as if they were designed for a figure skater. Can we please go back to the days when Scottish teams wore plain navy blue with a thistle on the left breast and prevailed regularly against all comers? Gregor Ferguson New South Wales, Australia . Maybe the people who design these strips should take a wee look around them in the stands, they will see more and more people buying the more traditional strips than the crap being put out today. Why the hell are the Scotland rugby team playing in GREY! Canterbury's strips are a dogs dinner, absolutely horrendous.

Canterbury make rugby strips so they are used to fitting fat bastards. I am still dreading seeing this new strip, I hope this deal falls through, I'd rather have ladybird make the strips or Florence and Fred, than this mob.
