i cant tell if im being negative or jut realistic. i bleed c&a, and im going along tomorrow to roar on the team for the full 90mins no matter the score line, but i cant see beyond us getting beat. i dont know if its because im older, more realistic, or had my hopes dashed too many times. i will never stop going to the football, or checking this forum 10 times a day for news but i just feel a bit "down" about the club. i think my best time watching motherwell was the butcher era. we were a mid table team, with the thoughts of 3rd place or europe a million miles away, but we were happy! the team seemed to play for the bagde which seems to be a liitle lost in the past few seasons, it gave the place a sence of community and "family". the passion and emotion of those days has been lost i guess, and would be happy to give up europa and 3rd place to get it back, but mibi thats just me.
