As has been mentioned, we get the first goal then we have it all to play for and they might bottle it. Long odds on us going through but nevertheless not over by any means yet. Considering the fair number of people going to Athens I think McCall owes it to the fans to try and stil win this tie. if we are considering damage limitation at this point then we are doing ourselves a huge injustice. Fair enough if they score another 2 then maybe go into damage limitation mode but until then Let's git intae them

See below taken straight from the home page of the official site ! [/url] Fan information: Panathinaikos With a sell-out crowd expected tonight, 'Well fans are encouraged to get to the match as early as possible to ease congestion at the turnstiles.

Planning to go pick up donner kebabs ( gyros ) for dinner tonight to celebrate our victory. May have to wear motherwell top !!!

MJC posts are a tradition! EDIT: in fact it's worrying when he posts a positive one.................and I think I do recall 1

any estimate on how many tickets sold so far? Threy should put a "meter" or something like fund raisers do so thta everyone can see how far away from sold out we are. May spur people on to buy a ticket or talk others into buying a ticket to get a full house.

4 - 0 to us the first leg. You heard it here first!

After going to cup final last year I'm not getting to this one, home or away, but it's great reading all these posts sounds like everyone is going to have a BLAST and looks like we wil have a decent amount of fans in Greece. Never have seen motherwell play in europe since i moved here in 1989. Closest i can relate to it is having been at white heart lane for the 3 - 2 texaco cup game..... 1970 i think. Scary how long ago that is!!!!! EDIT: Looking forward to hearing all the stories once everyone.........or at least most of you ......gets back.

I'd be surprised to see anyone leave before european games. Big cash incentive for the club with 2 chances at getting to group stage of a tournament. Not sure what all the rules are now for transfers and windows etc but the club wil find out pretty quickly into the season if they will be makin some good cash from europe. Would we ahve to sell before a certain date or else wait till January? So maybe they can hold the squad together to consoilidate place in the premier before selling anyone.

pay for the busses in the hope that it attracts more punters into the game = more money for them EDIT: Although having said that I am not sure that it will increase the numbers already decide to go anyway

on the plus side some of our potential CL opponents might be getting over confident !

I would hope McCall just tries to fill the gaps and leave the teasm as it was. So bascially we need to figure out whos is going to replace jennings and clancy. Leave Hately at right back

Thats just fkn awsome highlander LOL

I think he came just after the ancell babes. Bobby Howett the manager?? Was it Dixie Deans that replaced Joe when he went to celtic? Wonder what team Dixie went to from us ??

And no reason not to mix it up withni a game. If one way is not working then try another. Certanly nowadays it's more about a squad getting you through the season and playing the best team to win each week doen't necessarily mean the same team each week.

No problems with Jenno going nor do I ahve any issue with Mother well withdrawing offer. We stood by him fully expecting to leave at the end of the season. Plus we did'nt want to NOT play him. Motherwell had offer on the table for a while and I am sure agent had been told make up your mind by this date or we are done. For some reason that always seems to surprise people when the date passes and the chance is actually gone. Damn!! how can that be ???

Just limbering up with some pre season training highland

you mean they will actually wait till then?

If the club get everything right then people on here are going to moan about having nothing to moan about.

Ok So what you ar saying is that you will give up your job to anyone who loses their job at Motherwell FC???

using the same logic JBA they could hav ehtn epushed back on SKY by telling them that it was never goin to happen so why put it in the contract?? They hav emade noises over the years of going to England or transatlantic thingy? so there was never 100% gurantee that they would be here. Not just relegation that had to be condidered.

One would think so Steve..............hoping for a statement to follow closely behind the numbers

Not sure what's all really going on over there but if Sky do have a contract that is now being broken then they have every right to pull out. If The powers that be were stupid enough to make a deal which guranteed rangers being in the SPL then it's their fault............or the leagues fault, basically who all agreed to that. Sky are in business to make money and if they want to pull out now that rangers will be gone then I can't say much against them. They have no obligation to save Scottish football. They are playing by the rules which is all we are asking that Rangers get treated by the rules. Unfortunately this means dealing with the consequences. but instead of spending months trying to bend the rules or blatantly just ignore them the governign bodies could have been doing some negotiating and preparing for life with rangers in DIV 3 not waiting till the 11th hour then telling everyone that we stand to loose money from commercial deals because they F**ked up by assuming that Rangers would always be in the permier league. How they could have made any commitments that a team will always be in a competitive league with relegation is beyond me. Now they hav been caught out!! Next they should be thrown out !!

wher is jenning going anyway? just out of interest.

Only if you don't believe the club statement.

Works for me. thanks Flow !
