Beasted. At least 4-0 and will be very surprised if we get a shot on target.

Wow....thats a shocker.... Firstly sorry for your loss and that of your family in general mate, but even moreso at this time of year, and secondly for it to be such a familiar poster! Thoughts are with you mate. RIP DDM

Likewise, and I wasn't there last night. To be honest I was in my house with my season book sitting in a drawer about 15 feet away from me and the game on the telly. Whats more worrying is...I wasn't even really paying attention to it. Scary times for a 16 season veteran of week-in week-out, home and away attendance.

Hypothetically speaking, John Collins please.

IT'S HUMPHREY!! Write it down for fuck sake.

"Right I better go to the loo the now before extra time starts!" In a house in Manchester just after Sheringham equalised against Bayern Munich in the 91st minute of the Champions League final.

Terry Butcher is one of the most important Motherwell figures in my lifetime. Absolutely dragged us through our toughest period on his own to the point where he was even driving the bus for the youth team. Christ knows where we'd be now if it wasnt for him.

Also, the 3/4 players fighting over dead balls every time is made even more embarrassing by the fact that it doesn't actually matter who hits it. Theres probably a good few people sitting in the crowd that could hit a better free kick than all of them.

As long as we keep thinking like that, then we'll always struggle against them. As the old saying goes....form/ability/league position/budgets all go out the window when it comes to a derby match....so if only one side is treating it as such then the one that doesnt will lose more points than they win. We NEED to start treating this fixture like a full on derby, otherwise they will ALWAYS be putting more into it than we are.

I sit in the Cooper, I havent heard anything over the tannoy for 12 years.

Because the money we get for selling Fir Park is what will (for the most part) pay for the new one.

Im sure 100% of Falkirk fans miss Brockville...hell even I miss it. But I doubt they feel any less like Falkirk fans now that their stadium is technically in Grangemouth. I doubt they're any less likely to go to games because of it either.

I'd have more of a dilemma if we were setting up every game to be hard to beat, and playing it long to a target man was our only tactic. But the fact that we have, A - the players to be able to play football, and B - a manager who allows us to should it be appropriate, means we have a good mix I think. Football when we can, direct when we have to be, with the occasional shit performance thrown in that you just have to accept is going to happen at our level. I don't have a problem with that, especially when like today...we still have enough about us to occasionally take the points when one of those shit days arises.

TELT!!

Incidentally much as Humphrey is getting a lot of credit for the goals (and rightly so), for the first one Blackman's technique is outstanding to open out his opposite foot from the direction the ball is coming. Then particularly the second goal where most of the focus has been Humphrey ripping Jonsson, watch the way Sutton loses his man, going from the defender being goal-side and tight 6 yards out, to Sutton standing on his own a yard off the goal line with the defender not even realising...in the space of about a second and a half. Excellent forward play.

I never mentioned it being a step down. My point is whats the point in signing a footballer who, regardless of his previous clubs situations and performances, is much more capable with the ball at his feet than most players we'll see at our club....and then completely missing him out of the equation on the park.

In addition to that, (and I know it's only been two games), I keep wanting to apologise to Alan Gow...saying I know you didn't expect it to be like this...we are actually not too bad I promise. You'll get the ball in a decent area soon. I hope.

We'll be comfortably in the top 6 this season. Feel free to quote me on that at a later date.

Rosie Webster from Corrie mate. Think there would be an outrage on here and P&B if I changed it!

I think together our colours look like the sick of someone with a stomach ulcer, and although I like to wear a top to the game and/or a scarf in the winter (cos its going to the footy....thats just what you do), i'd never be seen dead in them.

I have to go with the first option, otherwise i'll have collapsed by the 80th minute and I'll miss whatever happens!!

If a player is looking for 1000 quid a week (as an example), and Accies get him and we dont, that doesnt automatically mean we cant pay a player that but they can. It could also mean we just weren't willing to pay that amount THAT player, whereas they were. Especially when most folk seem to hold the opinion that he's shite. Of course, that may not have enough panic in it for some peoples taste.

This is so outstanding, I now have a new signature.

I know theres been a bit of a dislike on here in the last few days for those who have inside information, but Lukas wasn't happy with the fact that Jenno is all elbows during the night, whereas he likes a cuddle. Stated quite plainly that if he was staying he'd be looking for a new place to stay.

Cos id imagine the folk that actually do know stuff as opposed to "having heard" stuff, keep their mooth shut otherwise they dont get told anything else from their source, be it a player, backroom staff, coach etc etc Im sure if id heard about Hateley or Charalambous a week ago, or seen the new kits a month ago, i'd quite enjoy that wee chance of an exclusive now and again so wouldn't spoil it by blabbing.
