Is their debt not all due to the Park Hotel though? Not sure how it works but I would presume the banks view that as security hence allowing them to keep trading. Maybe squirrelhumper can enlighten us?

I always preferred 'The Temple of Doom' myself. Allows you to use the term 'Disciples of Doom' which again is a winner in my book!

Agreed. He had 5 games so sort out his best 11 and we gave him the benefit of the doubt over that period trusting he'd get it alright on the night. If we had the level of performance we got in the CIS semi he'd have been vindicated but we didnt. Now all we are left with is a summer of uncertainty.

Thot putting Hammel man for man on Brown was a bold decision and to a degree it worked, unfortunately it seemed to cause imbalance elsewhere in the team. As for Saunders I can only think he wasnt fully fit or the manager didnt trust him up against Izaguirre. I agree tho, no reason Hately coudnt have done the same job in midfield. Just depressed that we had virtually 6 weeks to come up with our best formation for our biggest game in 20 years and we play something totally untried and untested. I suppose if we'd won we'd be hailing McCalls genius, but we didnt so we're not!

Totally deflated today. For our first Scottish Cup Final in 20 years, yesterday was so disappointing on so many levels. Never at any time did I feel the fans or the players really believe we could win. Was in the Florida Park pre match, full of Well fans and shouldve been rockin but whenever the songs started up it felt like just the same wee groups joining in. Not trying to tell anyone how their Cup Final experience should have gone but definitely expected more enthusiasm. Was the same in the stadium section B6. Dont know whether it was the weather, the way the game went or whatever, but all I wanted out the day was for both players and supporters to leave with no regrets win lose or draw. Celtic were there for the taking yesterday and we blew it big style on so many levels. Thought the tactics worked to begin with but took too long to change it after they scored. Second half the support could have done more to lift the players as it never looked like they were going to lift us. Fans leaving at 1-0 down with just over 10 mins to go WTF! Thanks to all those who stayed to the final whistle and applaud the players, thats what makes the difference between us and the OF. Ver easy to support a team when it's winning, little bit more difficult when the day has gone so badly! Well done to those that stayed! I hope it doesnt take another 20 years before we get the chance to exorcise the demons of yesterday but I fear it may. On a positive note now that my rant is over, well done to the lads and lassies involved in the display! The one truly enjoyable nd inspiring thing that happened yesterday! Great effort. Well done!

Spot on mate! If we were gonna sacrifice a midfielder dont understand why you would take of the most mobile one. Wouldve hooked Jennings or Lasley.

Best of the Cup Final Vids Every Motherwell fan should watch this before going to Hampden tomorrow thanks again Ally / MALF

To Stuart MCall and the squad before you go on that pitch look in the eyes of the guy next to you, know he will be giving his all for you and promise yourself to do the same for him. whatever you do, dont let the game pass you by, make this the game of your life and leave that pitch with no regrets. do this, and you will have your place in history. To my fellow Steelmen this is only my third cup final in 42 years, dont make the mistake of thinking the next one is just around the corner. get up early lap up every moment. get to the ground early, look in the eyes of the guy next to you. know he will be giving everything for the team and promise yourself that you will too. make plenty noise from start to finish regardless of the score. dont let the game pass you by. together we can create a moment that will go down in history. I BELIEVE!

Ha ha! Spot on mate!

I've had a long hard think about this and there are different ways to view it. Clearly now with the view of hindsight and given the sentimentality of it all then Phil's would get the nod, however........ .......on the day, Ian Angus's was the most exhilerating for me as at the time it hit the net it felt like that was gonna be enough to win the cup. Add to the fact that it was a very rare moment of sheer quality from a guy who would probably admit himself to being one of the unsung heroes / workhorses of the squad and you have all the ingredients of a great goal...... ......on balance I'm leaving sentimentality out of it and sticking with my 20 year old memories!

Tickets have now been sold to a nice old lady in Newarthill who's been a Well fan all her life. Happy Days!

got an ancient weathered buchanan which is claret and amber-ish! was thinking bout wearing it to add to the occasion but the weather forecast has me swithering.....pure new wool isnae very comfy when irs wet!

A real tear in the eye and a lump in the throat reading this one. My dad introduced me to Fir Park aged 4. He was too young to go to the 52 final so 91 was a big deal for the both of us. Because it was such a big deal my mum came to the game with us, the only time the 3 of us ever went to a game together. Lost both of them since 91 so Saturday will be very emotional. For Coop, Phil, Jamie, Mowgli and everyone else who has lost someone close since 91 lets make it a day they could be proud of. Mon the Steelmen!

Dee, had a message from paypal saying my donation is unclaimed. The message cites that this can be because the email address may be incorrect. Can you confirm whether there have been problems collecting payments, or as i suspect, is it just down to time / volume of payments that this hasn't been done. Dont want to cancel the payment in case you just havent got round to it, so if you can clarify that would be great. Cheers.

Thats the 'berries mate! Lovin the choice of music, says it all.
