Nothing new there I'm afraid... Gonna be listening to Kicking off tonight on 5live, just to see what coverage we'll get and how much young Mr Nevin talks up our chances.......

Don't think you'll have a problem as it's only going to matter after the game to allow regular patrons the first dibs on beers and seats.....

A non story by a non reporter.... his opinions and views mean SFA to me!

Couldn't agree more Keg, no doubt he'll laugh his tits off wherever he is, when we beat the smellies tomorrow!!

Spoke to one of the lasses from JD's last night and as mentioned all the folk getting buses from there get a wristband, so on their return they get priority in getting in for a few beers. If folk turn up after the game without a wristband they might get turned away depending on the numbers inside.

After checking the online shop and finding I'd have to starve myself for a couple of months to get into any remaining cup final shirts, I've decided it's the dayglo yella for me.... Just wondering what other braw sights we're gonna see on Saturday!! Mon ra Well...

Cannot believe how poor we were in the second half, just couldn't match the scum at all. SM's next email is gonna be interesting....

Absolute pish..... not one of them has put in a shift. They're playing like a bunch of strangers... in a sunday league game. I hate it when we feck it right up against these twats....

And some days of the week socks?..

Strangely I didnt mention colours as I wasn't wearing any either. Tarring all with the same brush, don't think so. Maybe you should read and digest the message before commenting on it and then you won't look a complete wanker yerself...

Couldn't agree more. These are just wanabees who don't have the wit or the guile to be proper fans. Didn't see any of this, didn't need to really, but saw a similar bunch of weans standing outside the EB with their cairy oots looking ever so hard and threatening....

Was speaking to an old aquaintance outside swinecastle on Saturday who mentioned that Jennings was down at Newcastle having talks, as he's out of contract in June.... Anyone else have an angle on this as if I were SM, I'd be pulling out all the stops to get him signed up for another couple of years!

He definitely flatters to deceive does Gloria.... he doesn't have a first touch and regardless of how many games youre getting that is what I expect to see from a striker. Quite clearly out of his depth and won his first aerial challenge in the 2nd half. Nope not good enough. Good luck to the lad wherever he ends up.

I have to say as a fully paid up member of the cynical bastards club, I'm actually very impressed by the honesty and openness SM has shown in these emails. He doesn't seem to shirk difficult subjects and clearly puts alot of thought into his feedback. Thinking about emailing him back and giving him some equally honest feedback about that mullet.......

Hopefully going to swinecastle, and would love to see us pish on their parade, however I'd be equally as happy with one eye on hampden and a defeat with some youngsters in the side....

Didn't they do what we definitely didn't and sign him on a contract?

I suppose DU will be charged up for this one(though minus a large wedge of supporters along), and as such Houston will have them chomping at the bit. However we didn't just beat them last week, we ripped them up and as such there must be a belief that we can produce that display again regardless of their mindset. 2-1 to MFC.

Welcome aboard shipmate, strap yourself in as you're in for a hell of a ride!!!

I have to say that I for one was certainly underwhelmed by McCall's appointment, this being mainly due to his poor track record(and if I'm honest his tenure at Castle Greyskull!), however since taking over I have been impressed by his attacking mentality and his ability to gel the team. Compare the team's style of play in recent weeks with the mind numbing dross we were served up at the end of Brown's reign and I'll take that any day. Noone can deny that inconsistency has always been a problem at Fir Park, and this in the main has been down to a small squad size and not solely the manager's shortcomings. With potentially a top six finish, 2 semis and who knows what else, I'd say that Fir Park could be the place that McCall builds his reputation. And with some of the loyalty he showed at Valley Parade, this MIGHT be the start of something special..... or not.

Don't think we could have got a better draw! And the ugly sisters fighting it out early.... get it up you Georgie boy!!!!

Jennings for me. Given the torrid time he has suffered from the powers that be recently, I thought he was immense, totally gaffering the middle of the park. I don't think he lost a challenge today and topped it off with a cracking goal. Rest of the team played well, but he was the man.

Yep, would look forward to those half time team talks.........

The two results last night certainly set it up to be the game of the weekend. Have to admit, I'd be happy with a point as they have been a bogey team for us the last season. In saying that I my have a flutter on a 2-1 victory with Blackman and Murphy scoring....

All the best to a true legend of MFC.

Tickets say 7.45pm... still' if you turn up early savour the atmosphere.....
