Yes, he sounded exciting before his injury. Co-commentator shocked by O'Brien's substitution, though.

Wasn't expecting this

I must be on an internet stream delay because because a couple of you had responded to the equaliser before I'd heard it.

Weather must have had some effect. That's very low.

Sounded like Motherwell started the slower but improved as the half went on, deserving to be ahead.

What song was played after the goal?

Jennings!

Off the line as 'Well go close. Is Lasley only playing due to injuries, or is Gannon wanting more experience?

If he scores today, I'm blaming you.

Does Deucher practice medicine at the moment? How does he find time to combine that with being a professional footballer? Has to be the most intelligent footballer around.

Sutton close?

It sounds very quiet, big man. Perhaps the weather has really had an impact on the attendance

Congratulations to you both. Great news

Will there be a bumper Christmas crowd today, or will the weather take its toll? You'd expect it to have implications for the number of away fans at least.

Enjoy the game, folks. Wrap up warm today, but no Christmas hip flasks

Merry Christmas to all on the forum. Hope you're having a good time with family and friends.

Fair play to Hearts, a tenner is tremendous value. Good on them, though I think some of you will be wrecked for an evening kick-off the night before hogmanay. No doubt someone will be able to tell you that you were there

So whatever happened to these two legends, Smith and Davies? How many games did they play?

I did it ages ago, and some of the stories were really good, much more than the tale most of us tell when speaking of allegiances i.e. "me dad said". I'm not a proper of fan of course, but I married one of you and took an interest. End of story

Ahhhhhhhh, I see. Now it makes sense

Even i noticed that when I saw it, and it struck me as odd

A Mancunian posting on a Motherwell board can hardly be described as a resident tim. Perhaps it's a manifestation of my sassenach sensibilities but I'm not used to the casual sectariansim that is so ingrained within Scotland's central belt. I haven't lived with it and from the outside it seems shocking. Songs about Irish paramilataries and/or the the religion of others at football is something I struggle to understand. It all seems so parochial and narrow-minded.

Couldn't agree more. Mistakes happen, you don't go talking to people like that and expect to get away with it. And you're totally right, the original poster isn't the target here. We've digressed onto a wider point, though the "fucking idiots" remark was a bit harsh.

Be a strange one if - God Forbid - they ever achieve their ambition of playing in the EPL. Then there will be two Scottish teams playing in England and constantly going on about Ireland. The Welsh will feel ever so left out.

Same tune, hardly the same lyrics. Matt Busby wasn't a Billy Boy I didn't think you were defending some of what goes in within the Old Firm songbook. But talk of 'going home' is a bit odd when both seem equally as obsessed with Ireland. You'd think at least one of them might give Scotland the odd mention.
