Welcome to Steelmen Online. Yay. Anyway, delighted with that draw.

Bowman's reaction of total disbelief at what he's just seen. Brilliant!

Aye, from you!

To be fair, I think that's kind of missing the point. About a page back in this very thread, there are a number of posts from people who don't agree how our midfield should be made up of, both in terms of numbers and personnel. It's really interesting to read the different viewpoints and everyone makes a good case for what they believe. I'd much rather read that than everyone having the same opinion. I don't think anyone wants everyone to agree with them - except for those who desperately feel the need for others to agree with them that a certain player/manager/board member is shite just to prove that they were right and can say "I told you so." There are certain people on here who only ever complain. There's no point in naming them because we all know who they are. It's not the negativity that's the issue. It's the fact that it's all they ever do.

Yeah, it's why a lot of people don't bother coming on to these forums any more either.

...and? What are you actually hoping for? What benefit can there possibly be if every "happy clapper" on here now decides that Rose is shit? How does that make a difference to anything other than some pathetic "I was right" or "See, I told you so"? Every single Motherwell fan thinking Rose isn't a very good player will make absolutely no difference to team selection, player performance or match results. You can think he's shit all you like. You might even be right. I still don't understand why everyone else has to "see" what you apparently do? Why do you need the validation so badly?

Genuine question: would anyone let him go on loan to Celtic, for a fee, for six months? If so, for how much of a fee?

I wasn't trolling but, as that's how it might be viewed by some, I'll not say anything more except: thank you very, very much to those who offered to collect tickets for me.

I await being told of several obvious solutions and not trying hard enough but it just wasn't feasible for me to drive from Aberdeen to Motherwell to buy tickets.

Tickets on general sale tomorrow have to be collected from Fir Park and can't be posted out? That's a pity.

I'll always appreciate what McCall did for us and I never agreed with his previous association with Rangers clouding his success as a manager with us. However, he was on BT Sport before the game saying "I don't know who will win but I know who I want to win" which was, at best, a strange thing to bring up considering that there wasn't any prompting whatsoever. Then after the match, he looked gutted and barely said a word. I've no problem with him being a Rangers fan but, considering his association with our club, he could have at least tried to suppress his feelings a bit.

The sheer devastation on McCoist and McCall's faces for the whole of the post-match analysis was just joyous.

Battered them.

How is 7k singing in an otherwise empty stand any louder than the same 7k singing with an extra 3k, say, round about them?

I just hope he doesn't sign for another Scottish club.

Judging by his reaction when Bowman was subbed, Moult recognises it.

They certainly heard me in the city centre tonight!

Seems wrong to single out anyone, to be honest. That said, Moult was imperious.

Everyone is clambering for contract extensions for Moult, Campbell, etc. Is it too early to be rewarding Robinson with an extended contract and an improved deal?

Do we only have three out-and-out centre-backs in Kipre, Dunne and Hartley?

Sorry, Weeyin, but you're being very unfair there. There is a distinguishable difference between how likeable someone is and how deplorable their actions are. No one is saying disliking Faddy is a more serious or despicable crime than rape. The crime Craig Thomson was convicted of is abhorrent and disgusts me. However, apart from that, I know nothing about the guy at all. I genuinely wouldn't know who he was if you showed me a picture of him. It's hard to dislike someone you simply don't know of. On the other hand, Levein is someone we have constantly been exposed to and, while he may not have been convicted of any serious criminal act, has displayed enough behaviours and actions for me to find him incredibly loathsome. Put it this way, there are some truly evil people who do some truly evil things but, based on the way they talked to me today, my boss is the most detestable person on the planet.

That's surely Craig Levein.

I can't believe that there's a heterosexual man alive who wouldn't.

Look at how many people on here were calling for Robinson's head at the end of last season. Where was the patience or long-term planning from them? Why is anyone surprised that Robinson is focusing on short-term signings when most managers lose their jobs in months rather than years and when some 'fans' are 90 minutes away from racing on to here to remind us that they never really rated him? No manager is allowed the luxury of long-term planning.

Delighted with the first league win. Delighted for GazzyB that his bet came in too.
