Yabba's Turd

I've been involved online with MFC since early 96, the mailing list, then the yahoo group, chat room and here. It may have been down to who was online at the time but debates were sensible for the most part since it was mostly real names and probably the lack of teenage presence etc. Holy shit that's almost 30 years. I approached the club in May 96 about setting up a website, had a meeting with John Swineburn with grand ideas of what we have now, only to be told that the internet was a fad, that no one would want access to the club's history (Keith and Graham's book) instant news updates etc could be gotten on teletext, every idea or suggestion of use was shot down into flames.

It's not the deciding factor but it's part of the equation for success, also knowing when to move on etc

Based on what?

They are supposed to compliment each other

Do they pay the highest wages in that league? I don't follow english football

Player wages = success

I think the bringing players back mentality left with our CEO tbh

Don't let fitness put you off, if you can afford it, play I've done it multiple times now and it never gets old, except my knees, those feel like an 80 yr olds

He couldn'y kick doors at Halloween

We can be just as pish in an empty stadium. Full house fallacy

You're not though. right?

You work for coke? 👀

You are correct, I was half asleep

And we got another crack at the cherry? Which we lost 1-0 to a Lee Wilkie header?

1981??!! I was at that game, massive rammy on the steep terracing across from the main stand right in front of where we standing too.

I knew Davie quite well, was at FP working the day he signed, testing the fire alarm, the day after we beat Celtic in the semi I had the good fortune to be sent to do a 'wee job' at his house, the job took 15 minutes, Davie produced half a loaf of toast and jam and 2 cups of tea, we sat until 2 o'clock shooting the shit of all things fitba and Motherwell, he was proud as punch (Coop was suspended for the replay, which makes that semi victory even sweeter in my eyes, and his too probably), a real down to earth guy, when the players came back from training we had a wee ritual, I'd sit on the wall at wee Andy's howf and the players would traipse back to the dressing room along the front of the main stand, Nijholt would tap a cigarette and Coop would stop for a chat, Stevie Kirk had the Billy big baws attitude strangely. I'm pretty sure John Chapman funded the signing, or Tommy asked him for 50k for a player and when he found out who it was almost jumped over the knowetop wall to get his wallet

Scoring at Ibrox has it's advantages it seems

You didn't vote

Rammstein are class, give us more Krautrock, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream please

Only 2 weeks until the rest of the world are approximately 95 years ahead again

The whole 'Celtic don't lose replays' chat was heavy in the air that week, the football for our 2nd goal was tremendous, obviously Psycho's screamer was the talking point, Celtic couldn't deal with us and it was fucking brilliant, bus lost all it's windows on the way back, nobody gave a shit

So one out of how many? and we probably got market value for reynolds, he didn't exactly excel

So in YOUR opinion we sold low? We made out like bandits on Phil (injured everywhere else he went, and was known as sicknote in FP) Turnbull, maybe, Faddy, nah

Who did we sell low?

He doesn't. watch the interviews back, he's whoring himself for the Scotland job, lip service to his employers at the time
