All I ask is that the current on-pitch custodians of the club put a shift in. I can't run for them, pass or tackle for them. Wish I had that privilege. I was at our last 1st Division game up at Forfar last day of 84/85 season, really hoping not to see another lower league game for the longest time. Up the Dossers.

I am a qualified referee and can confirm you won't find anywhere in the laws of the game where it will say a player from one of the sides cannot challenge for a drop ball. Thompson is trying to apply "law 18" common sense to get himself and linesman out of a problem they themselves created. If the ball was anywhere in the middle of the park when Thompson blew for the goal you can be sure the dropped ball there would have been contested by both sides. Would Thompson have booked Pearson if he refused to back away....hmm?? Oh and yes, on another day we'd have had 2 penalties in the first half.

FWIW Barra interviewed after game and said ref explained to him linesman shouted "play", Thompson thought he said "goal" so signalled for it. Linesman must at that point have told him his advice was lost in translation.

The sheep don't like it up 'em Couldney make it cos a family commitments. wiz parked at Pollok Country Park listening tae wireless when THAT goal went in...absalute mugnificance Well done Well & good on youse who made it up there. Wiz gon mental when they said only 1 min a injury time....canny wait tae see dons fans' faces claiming free kick taken fae wrang place. Only wan hing tae say tae them....DEAL WAE IT In Dosserdom we trust.

Same masel & embdy at this gemme wid never forget it. If ah remember it right, big Paterson actually hud a heider at 2-2 that went jist past the post for whit woulda capped a truly great comeback. Aye makes me think a big Psycho's (Greame Forbes) effort inches past against Celtic in 85 semi 5.45 into this clip

Least he didny dae an Andy Gray......"great tackle there from Christ McTart" during the Morton replay at Cappielow 91.

Chick Young......for it is he....reporting that Craig Sampson coming to Motherwell, he's not starting for St.Mirren today

Oh aye, fair doos, the walls we pished against were carefully built.....in the 1930's

Could they no have got them in Claret & Amber? :whistling: Firhill rejects?

Did UEFA have a stadium inspection this week, anyone know how it went? Don't suppose there'd be any chance of them allowing the POD north/south sections to be used with the current bucket seats? I personally think doon the front at the Cooper end at 18 yard line is a great spot.

Thanks, couldney see the trees fur the Fir Park forest there.....2 tickets duly bought. Mon the Well.

bump

Do you have to personally get to Fir Park to buy these tickets? Looks like you cannot (yet) buy them online. Says on general sale from yesterday.

Ywo fur the price a one if ye f*** Hertz

Absolute mugnificint, great result and well done the fans. The tin lid's oan and we huv a welder

3 mins injury time............call the cops!!

Higgmeister strikes again :pleasantry:

Fair doos to him and is there any chance that sense will prevail? Bit like yir mother-in-law's birthday party, you've sorta got to go

Pronounced?? Ask us how tae spell wee Johnny's surname (nae cheating mind)

They've managed to dig up Andy Gray on Talk Sport just now and what an embarassment it was, he's crying into his lemonade about how Scottish football is finished and slebberd on aboot how Ibrox is "full every week"...........HARUMPH ALERT :help: didney look that full last Sunday. So Rangers are spending about £10M a year more than they take in......wee guy who runs the corner shop doon the road will tell embdy that's a recipe for disaster and is nothing more than mis-management on a grand (lodge) scale. But never fear, Lord Murray will be protected by the Scottish fitba meedja as usual. But, what the hell, let's make sure WE win OUR next gemme :pleasantry:

OK I'm copying this from Pie & Bovril forum but here it is - http://twitter.com/DarrylBroadfoot What an utterly bizarre statement from Motherwell. Wild fixation with process as opposed to right or wrong. More hysteria than Balotelli sanction. Only in Scotland. And finally: if the CO Reference was so wrong, why did independent panel impose sanction? Stop whining, stop doing it and #focusonfootball In my view this is a wholly inappropriate public statement from an SFA employee. Who is this guy? I can't be arsed wasting 60 secs of my life googling him.

Probably mentioned elsewhere but looks like wur on BBC Alba 5.30pm showing the full game. Whit's the gaelic fur "Mon the Dossers!"?

I for one congratulate the SPL (aye ah ken, world's first) for thinking outside the square rectangle and also the club for embracing the Friday night gemme and coming up with some ideas how to entice people along. I am a football traditionalist and was trying to remember the first time I went to a game (born '67) that did not kick-off at 3pm Saturday. Sure it wisny afore 1990. I remember seeing the BBC documentary on the Clydebank Blitz of 1941 and there was a guy saying he was a kid at the time and his kid brother was "playing with a potato" when a bomb crashed through their tenament. For forms of entertainment, you had the wireless (still got that), playing outside (sort of still got that if you can dodge the cars) and playing with root vegetables! But guess what, nowadays there's a myriad of ways to spend your entertainment sheckle and fitba at the current price level and perceived value is probably further down the totem pole than the effing X-factor. At a tenner for an adult admission, now the match is at a price level where it's somewhat affordable and I hope we can get at least 7000 there officially. Reason gemmes started at 3pm Saturday in the 1880's and beyod is cos men (for it was them) worked a half-day on Saturday and it gave time for most away supporters who wanted to travel the time to get to the match. Fitba as a business is no different to any other in that it has to adapt to the times and search for ways to be profitable. Well done the club and let's embrace this in a positive fashion. Time and tide wait for no club.

Could be true but 81.7% of statistics are meaningless. I'll get ma coat.....
