Great, 10 of us on that train, Buckie for breakfast I think.

Train for me as well. 07.06 from Queen Sreet. Does anybody know if our trains are going to be DRY trains that day???

3 points out of a possible 21 in the past 7 games is relegation form. Sorry I didn't buy in to the bigger picture theory. The constant changing of his starting 11 then changing players and tactics when we were winning (sometimes after teams had a man sent off). Moaning about referees and not giving interviews, showing a total lack of respect to our senior players. How long was this revolution going to take? Until we reached the 2nd division? Contract deadline or not, the guy was not good enough. Well done John Boyle (I never thought I would ever say that)! Lets get a manager with some passion and get some fight into our team.

The drinks are on you at the end of May, maybe April, the way we are playing. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to try and convince me that our gaffer has got a clue whay he is doing.

Totally agree with this post. Can anyone give us some hope for the future, anyone????? In my opinion I cannot see us turning around this run of bad results. The defence has not been settled all season due to too much farting around by the gaffer. Now, surely, you train the guys, you play the best goalkeeper in goals, the best right back at right back, the best left back etc. You then tell them the danger men of the opposition, how to play against them etc, Set your team send them out and, barring injuries, let them do the job for 90 minutes. We have not had a settled team all season and are now in a run of 4 straight defeats and 7 without a win. In my opinion this guy is trying to be too clever I don't have a clue what he is trying to do. Does anybody?

Shankly again, signed a youth player and Shankly used to feed his players with Steak to "fill them out a bit". This youth player comes in a couple of months later (after eating steaks) to get a day off training. When Shankly asked what he needed the time off for the boy said he needed to get married. Shanks said "What do you mean you NEED to get married" The boy says, well. my girlfriend is pregnant. Shankly opens the door and shouts ,"Bob (Paisley), Joe (Fagen), Rueben (Bennett), We've created a monster"!!!

Brian Clough once said, "I am not saying I am the best manager in the country but I am in the top one"!!!

That was Partick Thistle manager, John Lambie

Another Shankly gem. Talking to a journalist, "Of course I didn't take my wife to a Rochdale game as as an anniversary present, it was her birthday". "Would I have got married during the football season?" "And anyway it wasn't Rochdale, it was Rochdale reserves". Shankly used to play 5 a sides all the time Scotland v England and used to play until Scotland won. On one occasion he used a shy quiet lad (Alec Lindsay) as the referee and when he disallowed one of Shankly's goals Shanks said, "Jesus Christ son you've not said a bloody word for 2 years and when you do it's a lie".

Bill Shankly said to Jock Stein after the European Cup Final, "well done Jock your immortal now, mind you Liverpool would have beat that lot". Later on Stein said of Shankly, "if his players were as good as he says they wouldn't just win the European Cup but the Ryder Cup, the boat race and the Grand National as well".

Bill Shankly met Tommy Cooper and was amazed at the size of Tommy's feet. "Jesus Christ, son, what size of shoes are they? I've sailed to Ireland in smaller boats than that.

Agreed pie alongside midfeild types like Peter Miller, Stewart McLaren, Ally Mauchlen, Colin O'Neill. FFS what is wrong with a booking during a game, with these guys it was an occupational hazard. Note to younger fans.....these guys were hard men who stood for no shit yes they got booked sometimes but nobody messed with them....ask Peter Grant.

Sorry if you read my post again I said after the last 8 games, I did of course mean after the last 7, DDDLLLL, doesn't look good does it?

Sorry, can you read my post again..... over the past 8 games, 4 points out of a possible 24??? Worst in the league OVER THE PAST 8 GAMES.

No we don't expect to be like Real Madrid/Manchester United but we do expect our team not to roll over to a mediocre St Johnstone at Fir Park. Lets be realistic then.......When was the last time we won a game??? When are we going to win next? Hearts???, Accies????, Inverness in the cup???? Tell us then why this manager changes things all the time even when a change is not needed. Is it because he had the wrong tactics or team and had to change it to win (the opposite has happened on too many occassions this season) we have been ahead at half time and he has changed things and then the team draw against 10 men or get beat against 11. He signed or plays most of the kids and leaves out the experienced guys which may have been alright in the English 2nd division but doesn't work in the SPL. I am all for evolution but how long does it take? before we know it it will be March and we will be propping up the league. Results don't lie, on form we are the worst team in this league over the past 8 games. Does he know what he is doing???

I was thinking what to post but you have summed it up for me. This guys tactics sustitutions and ranting at referees has pissed me off. Last week was bad enough, the Smellic game we were rubbish, we have drawn against 10 men 3 times but today was the last straw. What are his tactics? Why bring back Craigan and Lasley but drop Hammell? Why start with O'brien with Humphrey on the bench? Why Murphy on the bench? Why change the team every week? Too many questions Iknow but I look forward to any answers you guys have

Sorry mate, I set my alarm for Jack Daniels opening but thought my daughter would have woke me up earlier. Well done to those guys. I assume the game is definately on????

Me and my wee lassie and my mate and his 2 boys will defiately be there. Can get loads more if needed.

That is a good achievment, getting the prices down to a sensible cost for everyone. Well done!!! There is a squad of us staying on the Saturday night at the Columba Hotel so a wee cut in ticket prices is very welcome.

Yes, he should choose to speak to whoever he wants to. however, he is the manager of Motherwell F.C. and we would like to know his thoughts after a match, for instance, an explanation for some of his strange substitutions. The last 3 drawn games, (which could have / should have been wins), why did he make changes which were negative,(in my opinion). eg. Murphy coming off v Dundee Utd. What was the reasoning behind that decision? Also, there can be no possible benefit in starting a fight with the referees. We don't get many bookings and will only have referees err on the side of the opposition if they know our manager is going to slate them anyway. I know refs make some strange decisions, but then, so does our manager.

Thats them, check John 2nd from left, he was in tears of happiness when the Bukaroo turned up.

Sorry about you getting chucked out mate, we should have had a plan but at 3 in the mornin and been tannin the bevvy non stop since the train to Prestwick Airport (36 hours, 2 hours for sleep and a cheese baguette) we were more like the Marx Brothers than the SAS. My best memory of Nancy was arranging for the lassies who were coming over by Taxi to bring a couple of bottles of Buckfast. The look on Johns face when he saw them coming across the square was priceless. Like a wean on Christmas morning times ten!!!!!!!

I was trying to renew my season ticket on line as well the same as your self (1 adult and 2 children) but couldn't. I phoned the club and they said that you cannot renew family seasons on line. You can phone with card details or go down to the ticket office (I'll wait till after my holidays now)

World cup stars. Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Raul and possibly, Kirk Broadfoot will be playing at Motherwell next summer. Motherwell Stadium is being used as a stadium for warm up games. The stadium which is eerilie like Wishaw Sports Centre and has a surface which is slightly better than Ayr beach but ten times better than Motherwell fc's own Fir Park surface. Lionel Messi says as playing surfaces go I prefer Fir Park as it reminds me of playing football on the beach in my youth. Kirk Broadfoot agreed as he loved Saltcoats as a wean!!!
