Big Stall

She told me to use my code when i got home to link my account to the kid season ticket. When i said i didnt have a code i could see a frustrated, almost roll eyes look. It was pretty clear that the staff are aware its an issue. To be fair to her, she was great. Sorted me out, gave me the codes i needed, took payment. But it doesnt really fix the lack of communication issue sadly.

I renewed yesterday and got a childs ticket for one of my weans. They are a bit young for it yet but gets their name on the system and reserves a spare seat. Im in the same boat as a few others. I havent been posted or emailed any season ticket renewal information. No codes, not even a price leaflet. Was there the usual early bird offer? I have no idea. Now it obviously didnt affect me going and renewing, but how difficult is it to send out a mass email to everyone on the list. The club have upped their game on the social media videos side of things but basic marketing and conventional communications dont seem to have improved any. We really need all the fans we can get, we cant afford to let fans slip away without even trying to engage with them.

Right up for this now. Mon the 'well!

While I agree with you, you have to factor in the fact that in the minds of the downtrodden Celtic fan, they are being shafted simply by not being given the opportunity to claim the title in the first game post split at Park Head. Like you say, ........ fuck em!

Think that went right over your head.......

Any word on whether the club have got a license to serve us up breakfast beers before the buses leave next weekend?

We are not in the final yet so no point in worrying about it, however, Robinson has already said his piece with the masterstroke after the Celtic game, raising the awareness of the Thomson issue and the number of incorrect red cards he has given us. A play straight out of Brendans book and Robbo should be congratulated. That in itself probably ensured that if Thomson had been due to get a semi-final, he wasn’t getting our one. If we get to the final, then Robbo has already raised the awareness of the guy, much like Brendan did with Bowman.

Thats a good point i hadnt considered. This Aberdeen team have no experience of Main. The big man was a real problem for both Celtic and Rangers defences. Obviously they have saw him play but the team have not felt him play. Do we really need to give them a practice run before the semi?

Is it realistic to think we can beat them twice in one season? If not, I'm happy to save our victory over them for the cup final......

The Celtic end i would expect, then the Rangers end in the final. Yes, its a shambles that these cunts have 'ends' of the national stadium.

Main roads in Motherwell/Hamilton are fine you mean. Go 7 miles up the road and Carluke was blocked in from all directions this morning. Supposedly Edinburgh got pummelled by the snow again lastnight. Trains were all off this morning and only running a few services today. Hopefully it gets better and the games on, but I don't think its guaranteed.

Finally common sense! Don't think the pitch was ever going to be the issue, but the travelling fans are. Most of the trains and buses are gubbed, roads are at a standstill and I heard this morning they are considering raising the amber warning to red - something Scotland hasn't seen before.

The transport minister is warning against travel if you are caught in the amber areas. The amber areas include Aberdeen and all the way down. If he is saying that, I'm not sure how the game can go ahead.

Doubt the cold will affect it but is there is serious snow forecast then considering where our opponents are coming from, the clubs and authorities might look to postpone

Fuck that. I want them in the final, with us either hammering them or winning with a last minute dodgy penalty! Justice!

I said on Saturday night that we were marginally less turgid against Partick than we had been against County. Small improvements. At half time lastnight I was thinking the same, still not pretty to watch but may be another little improvement from Saturday. Campbell and Main for me had been standout first half. And then…….. What a turn around in the second half. Night and day. We were pretty much camped in the St Johnstone half most of the game, we played fast, attacking football, we created chances and more often than not we were playing on the deck rather than over the top. Whatever the players discovered, lets have more of that please. Players, they were all good. Campbell was excellent. Not only was he his usual combative self, but he was driving at the opposition goal, often running with the ball and taking players on. It was great to see. Main was a constant threat and if he keeps going at this rate then no doubt there will be envious eyes on him come the summer. Kipre, solid, had a few adventurous runs going forward and unless I have been asleep for most of the season, he got a new role last night as he was taking all the shy’s on the right hand side. I’ve never really taken to big Dunne, too many mistakes in his early showings but got to say, he’s been really good the last few games. Hope he keeps it up. Not sure how Pete 6 is going to get back into that defence the way things are going……

That was far from a sparkling performance but in my opinion i thought we at least looked like we were trying to attack them which was in stark contrast to the Ross County game. Small margins i know and we were certainly not expansive and beautiful to watch today but for me, slightly less turgid than of late.

Was there ever any details announced of what percentage sell on clause we have stuck on him as part of the deal?

Cough cough.... tellt yi....

Robinson said the physio told him not to risk Cadden. Said you dont want to be playing three games in a week so soon coming back after a hamstring injury. Im not a physio but that seems reasonable to me.

Comes across as a wee dick who thinks he's a superstar. I wonder if being punted by us and now Killie will help him get a better grip of reality.

You dont half talk some amount of pish! Did you see Celtic coming in with an offer for him a few days ago? Of course not. If they are willing to do that then theres every chance we will get plenty more offers for him in the next 4 windows!

You have to admit though, that was horrific to watch tonight. I am generally pretty optimistic about Motherwell but that was brutal! First half we made no attempt to play any kind of football, it was just try and hoof it over the top to the front men and hope they got on the right side of the defender. Every one of our players was doing it so it must have been an instruction, either that or we have seriously regressed. I remember reading stats about 9/10 games into the season, we were the team who put the most crosses into the box. I think we managed 2 in the full first half. Crazy that we have 2 big strikers and we dont try and get the ball in for them to attack. I am hoping that Robinson is just trying to make us solid again and get our confidence up. Play like that for the rest of the season will be dire to watch and more worryingly, will have us closer to the bottom than we are now. Still, 3 points. Very badly needed so we will have them. Mon the 'well!

No idea what ours is like but iv been out before with a top man from an EPL club. He could access their database over an app on his phone. What he was showing me was incredible. I would imagine ours is an off the shelf solution rather than a custom build and it wont have the same resources behind it, but these things can be incredibly powerful.

Robbo really does like his big burly bruisers doesn't he! Not that I'm complaining, if he's as good as Hartley generally is, then he will certainly strengthen our team.
