To be fair, if you were picking the Cup Final team based on Saturday's performance, none of that shower would be in the team.

That was always my major contention. These guys never seem to have any problem with their pitch (best played with sound turned down ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0E-lGKiCr8

+1 on that. If there was one game we needed to turn up for before the final, this was it.

Probably because it means we have been rolled over again for 4 or 5 goals with another feeble effort. It's not directly what Celtic fans think, it's how pathetic (and 'pathetic' is no exaggeration) our record against Rangers has been these past 10 years or so that annoys many fans.

On the plus side, that performance will have freed up a few extra tickets for the final.

No idea why we aren't using the same tactics we used against Celtic. Need to press them further up the park and make better use of our speed out wide. Murphy looks like he can cause some damage when we give him the ball. Defence looks shakey though.

http://atdhenet.tv/ has nice stream at the moment.

18 minutes before we give away our traditional soft early goal against this mob. Never saw that coming

Baseball cap? What ever happened to just using your programme to shield you eyes? Or is that no' cool any more?

So far, it looks like we've reverted to our Tyncastle tactics and decided to only start playing in the second half.

Never ceases to amaze me just how good Wullie P was. Sometimes the memory plays tricks, but not in his case.

I like big Sutts, but I think Murphy's return to form and the addition of Jeffers have played a big part in his recent goal-scoring exploits. If we can hold on to those 2 guys, I think we can manage without him. I certainly wouldn't grudge him a money move at this stage of his career, but there's always the risk you end up warming the bench - especially at the OF.

Club Badge, no doubt. However, if all they are selling are claret and amber scarves/shirts/hats etc. with "Motherwell" "Steelmen" "'Well" etc. then I imagine it is more problematic.

There's a guy on telly over here who basically has his own TV station. Harold Camping is his name, and he is one of those weird religious guys who has 'decoded' the bible to identify when the world will end. He is predicting that 'The Rapture' will take place on May 21st 2011. He doesn't have much of a track record (a bit like the MJC of the religous nutter brigade), but I hope we manage to pick up the trophy before it all starts.

Looks like a Rangers Away top.

Not to mention the last Cup Final we were in. Did any 'Well fan fail to get a brief for the CIS Final?

They used it over here for the baseball a few years ago, but always thought this would make a good football anthem (or the chorus, at least). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic9f9dhfc8A

Aye, but the fact we have made no new signings before the final is an outrage.

If it was a one off, then that might be true. However, every week before every game he posts the same negative views on how Celtic, Rangers, Brechin, Dundee or whoever will gub us. I doubt he believes most of it himself, but his lack of enthusiasm for any Motherwell game has turned into self-parody and deserves to be mocked.

With cup revenues being pooled, I doubt the club would be allowed to do anything like that with ticket sales.

You answered your own question - Motherwell tries to run financially as a break-even club. Gate revenues and season tickets make up a substantial amount of our turnover. I'm sure if we received the millions that Bolton do in Sky money we could cut the fans a better deal.

It's Mad Vlad's private video stream. He likes to keep an eye on his team selections. Worth a shot, but I have my doubts it will work.

MJC is only saying what he says on here before every single game. If he believed half of what he posted he would never set foot inside Fir Park. Are we favourites? Of course not. Can we beat Celtic? We did the last time.

Remember that time they couldn't even afford to pay their players' wages? Remember that time they couldn't afford to pay their players' bonuses? Remember that other time they couldn't afford to play their players' wages? etc.

Agree the law needs to be changed as it doesn't differentiate between a 'professional foul' and an honest attempt at a tackle. The straight red, I thought, was supposed to punish the former, but the refs don't have any discretion when it comes to the latter.
