Nice start to the season but then again so was the time we went 2 up against that Icelandic mob and it was all downhill from there. Ahhhhhh that’s better!! Now I feel part of the steelmenonline family after that depressing negative comment.

I thought Hartley was back?

And it’s going to drag by

Are we done then? More concerned about late departures than getting more players in.

It's gone very quiet here. Not sure if that's good or bad. When does the window close so we know who we have at least till January?

Think I have been at 5 games in the last 28 years. 1991 2011 and 2018 cup finals. Midweek home game v Aberdeen I think in Nov 2005. Then one other that I took my kids to whwm they were still fairly young. They don't recall much about the game other than everyone swore a lot lol

Yep. Even after 28 years still miss going to the games. Although time May have blurred my memory on how effen miserable it can be sometimes in the dead of winter

Here we go here we go here we go COYW! Sittin at the airport wearing my scarf waitin on the plane. Not the best start though 2 hour delay but should catch connecting flight nae bother I'm convinced we are going to win this.

Whatever it takes to win this final I’m ok with. Don’t want a gallant played them off the park defeat. I want to see us win the cup. I hope Robinson has them well schooled to walk away from any flash points and not get conned into any stupid stuff. We need to get stuck in as normal and hope the ref actually has a decent performance. COYW!! I believe.

Me the wife and grandson booked up a while ago to visit home arriving in Scotland May 30th, due to waiting on his school year finishing. However, hidden away somewhere in the depths of the league cup final thread I said I wasn't coming over to league cup final ' cause I was saving my money for the Scottish cup final. So leave here Thursday arrive Friday morning then back on the plane Monday morning. Back in Austin for. About a week then back to join in the extended celebrations. The wee man said he'll colour his hair claret and amber if motherwell win the cup. COYW. ive got that 1991 feeling !!

What do You mean "if"?

It's up to Nadir, I'd say and how much he wants to actually be a football player. I think if he did take a drop in money and get fit with us over the close season he would be a very good player and get himself a good move. I don't think he will have a better chance to do that than with us, so perhaps he will work that out for himself ? I think he would be worth a punt if he settled for the reduced money and made a commitment to buckle down and get fit. I also think Robinson would take that risk.

I don't care how shite we play or how Jammy we might be or how dirty or whatever as long as when the final is done the cup is coming back to FIR PARK. Let's see if Karma really works. Having said that, I do hope we play a blinder, shut them out and score a few goals. COYW!!

Well done to them ! I may go eat a cheese burger then when I’m back for the final COYW

It’s really about the town getting behind the local team. Like you would hope they would do for an Olympic athlete or someone who can bring some pride to the local community, some positive feel good factor. Unfortunately We are still tainted by this whole religious bigotry and stratification that, somehow, it is a problem for the local community to get behind the local team for fear of upsetting a few people who base their football team allegiance on religion. Sucks!

So for the final I assume assume the goalies, back 3 and front 2 are a given. Its really just the midfield. Cadden Campbell Mchugh Tait plus one other. Grimshaw or Rose ? How mAny on the bench and who will they be?

That’s bad news.!! He might not be able to hold the cup up above his head after we win the final.

What record is that ?

COYW!

We need Les to buy the remaining tickets And distribute them to deserving fans that can't afford them ☺

I’m sure most of us know a person who used to go and watch us and who are still Motherwell supporters at heart. We need to try and atalk them into going.

I'm singing motherwell songs every day in the car on the way to and from work. Starting to get the butterflies. We are going to win this thing !!! COYW

I’ll be there. I hope it’s more like 1991 than 2011. Was confident in 1991. Not so much in 2011. Confident about this one. COYW

Mission accomplished
