Special aka

And just a few days after enduring the 6-0 humping at Cappielow, so that must make me a wank then Neil will be delighted If that's the point you've been trying to make ....... very well done, you finally got there, you have my congratulations for beating that dreadful bought of verbal constipation

and with our 4-0 victory at Tannadump we share the biggest away win with the Buns.

well done girls ..... and good luck in the ess effs

why the use of the larger font Kat ?

Not at all. For some it was too expensive, and for others (like me) time off work was not possible. Others sacrificed the Faroes in the hope a big cherry would crop up in the next round and I'm sure there is a plethora of other reasons why folk did not make the trip. Like I said ............. what does it matter ? Are you judging people by their attendance at euro away trips ?

Fair play to those who assisted you in Paisley, but having to put up with Scott H all the way back to Edinburgh

what does it matter who goes ? for a variety of reasons some may wish to but find themselves unable to do so. Nancy was our 1st venture for over a decade and was very accessible ............ unlike the Faroes

so did the pitch help our style of play ?

Why not get some fans posing in them for an advert. Could be a nice little comp for the Prog perhaps.

Have never liked St Midden, but just to get it right up Jambo Jeffries I want Killie to go down. Then St Midden next year

Cannot stand the Media Darling. He got more to spend than every other MFC manager put together, and took us from 2nd top to 2nd bottom in the process, then took Hibs down, then took the Buns from Treble Winners to Big Fat Zero winners, then took Scotland from Table Toppers to 3rd, and then took Birmingham down. He's a Legend.

I'd like to think Mr McGhee is doing all he can to secure a commanding leader for the team, someone who can instill some fighting spirit .......... which is sadly lacking at present.

Remember it well. The Cave and the Dunbar Road end were both shut so all turnstyles fed fans into the home end of that huge 2 tier main terrace. The Hibees had gathered down the bottom tier and our 20 bus loads or so were massing up the top tier. Think this rather took the Hibees and EOB by surprise, and a few unsavoury chants were swapped. I was 30yards or so away talking to a Hibee I knew from work when some bloke from Viewpark (you know who you are), lobbed a rucky down into the Hibees and it all kicked off. The Hibees charged up to the top tier and there was a bit of a scrap/face off and OB moved in to usher the 'Well fans thru the segregation fence and on round to the Dunbar Road end with me, (a 6' 7" claret&amber clad skinhead), excusing my way thru the locals to get back with my kind. We did indeed lose 1-0 and there was a further exchange of pleasantries outside and across that wee bluddy bridge !

I also used to travel on the "Lock yer shops, hide your beer the mental Bridgework boys are here" .............. Bus from 78 - 81(ish) with B.K. and Fatcalf, although it was a hell of a walk for me down from Knowetop, dodgy the Buns at the Brandon and the Tims at the Cross . Think it was a Jim Walker who used to run it from the Social Club. Not sure precisely when it stopped running. A few of us from up Knowetop/Muirhouse, (including Beesher's father and uncle), did leave when the Muirhouse Branch started .... pre-Liz Mullen days.

Indeed it has, and although I'm not a regular paper reader I was of the opinion that the SFA decided that (on the back of Gretna's and St Johnstone's .... edit Qo' South, sorry european adventures), only the Cup winners would represent this country in the UEFA cup amd should that team already be an entrant in the Champions League then the place would be allocated according to an SPL finish.

Agree with Melvin ................... lets see now who can cut it, rather than fielding guys who barely go thru the motions.

Very constructive Neil yer mother depriving you of yer milk ration again

Ditto ...........................

I believe Motherwell has its roots in the merger of a feast of mining villages; Ladywell, Jerviston, Knowetop, etc., etc., etc., ......... we could very easily have been known as The Miners.

Can someone explain why/how Falkirk have qualified ? I thought it was now only for cup winners !!!!!

If we are, don't expect another Nancy. We'll no doubt be pitched in at the 1st hurdle and could face a trip to somewhere virtually inaccessable ...... Faroes, Lithuania, Llanelli in the middle of July

works for me. Mind if I take some copies ?

Agree with El Grew, (my fellow Knowetop Primary FP), that ariel is/was Motherwell Stadium. Think it hosted Speedway at some point. I'm not certain where the Roman Road pitch was precisely located, (part of town which was always known as Bandit Country by us folks from Knowetop), however surely Motherwell Library would have such info. Maybe even worth your while contacting Ordnance Survey archives. Sure I've got an OS map of the town from the 1930's. I'll need to look it out and see if there are any clues. I too believe Glencairn Tower now stands approximately where Dalziel Park was. + Kat, perhaps you should check but I'm pretty sure its Hamilton Academical (with no 's' at the end).

Fanzine for me, it's got fewer spelling mistakes

and currently sitting just above a relegation spot.
