The Kelly goal at Pittodrie is in this video. Be warned, we lose 4-2... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PoXqNehPBI

4 of our mid 70s side in this photo of Phoenix Inferno from the early 80s. Must've thought they were signing for Partick...

Really glad ye did. But i honestly never felt we looked like scoring, apart from Gunning's shot, which came out of nowhere. Watched the game back on telly to see if things looked any different, but if anything, they looked worse. Celtic were pish and, on our game, we could've had them. Gettin to cup finals is amazing, obvoiusly, but losing them sends you on the downer from Hell. Been feelin more and more depressed all week when i think of the chance we missed. I feel even luckier to have seen us lift the cup in '91 now. Surely won't be long before we get another shot...but we thought that 20 years ago.

I was shocked to see so many players smiling and waving at relatives/pals when they were pickin up their losers medals. Made me think that for all their talk during the week, they never really believed they were going to be winners on the day and were just grateful to be in the final. Stuart McCall did what he thought was best, resting players after the split to make sure they were fit for the big game. But look at Dundee Utd...played 4 games in about 10 days, won 3, drew 1. They were flying. Then they got a rest before coming to Fir Park for the cup replay and got hammered. It was as if they switched off, suddenly realised they were knackered and couldn't get up for the game. Maybe the same thing happened to us, with so many players in and out of the team post split. I won't blame SM though, cos what would the fans have said if we'd gone into the final with half a team due to injuries picked up in 'meaningless' league games. The final was a total anti-climax for everyone involved with Motherwell, no doubt about that, but we've over achieved again this season. So, thanks to the playes and staff at Fir Park for making me proud to be a Steelman. Apart from Jack and Victor, who can feck off.

I was on Bus 19 with my wife and we were among the folk who got off and legged it to Hampden (and back again) in the rain, totally unaware the bus had been moved. Didn't mind too much for myself, but my wife's 5 months pregnant and could've done without the hassle. I don't blame the club for this, but the lack of information when we were waiting to be picked up after the match was annoying. The same thing obviously happened with several buses and there were a load of kids, older and infirm folk hanging around gettin soaked. If one of the other drivers or 'stewards' had been able to explain the situation it would've made things a wee bit easier. So much for the plods all being Masons...

Sorry David, you've picked me up wrong. I meant the timing of it at the game itself...the Celtic fans put up their display and then ours went up...anything you can do we can do BETTER.

Brilliant display guys, especially the way it was done in reply to the GB one. Best bit of the day (sadly).

...2011 version will follow after tomorrow

Completing the 1991 Cup Final set...

That him checkin to see if the linesman's lookin before crackin you one wi' his elbow?

Was going to leave this one alone for old times sake, but Tom Boyd had to say he'll be supporting Celtic tomorrow. So this is what he gets...

Superb.

Just got in to find a message on the phone saying I'd been successful in the ballot. Problem is, the message was for someone else. Managed to trace the guy through the phone book and let his wife know, but a wee bit worrying how our details got mixed up. Like a lot of people who entered the ballot I've been lucky enough to get tickets through a pal, but it does make me wonder what would now happen if I was patiently waiting for the club to contact me...

Looks crackin. He's even got the Faddy hairdo...

Sorry, correction to the list... ALLAN Craig Also, Jumbo Muir's real name was Jim. Could the guys try to their best to make sure George Stevenson is on the final list. He played in the League winning side of 31/32 and 3 losing Scottish Cup Finals. He was also the manager when we won the League Cup and Scottish Cup (and lost another Scottish Cup Final) in the early 50s. Don't think there's many more who deserve it more than he does!

Here's the first names you're looking for... 32/33 John JOHNMAN (not Johnnan) Alan McClory John 'Sailor' Hunter Hugh Wales Alan Craig John Blair Johnny Murdoch John McMenemy Willie McFadyen George Stevenson Jimmy Crapnell Ben Ellis Thomas McKenzie (anybody old enough must remember his brother Willie, the auld lookin trainer in all the team pics from the 70s) 39 Andrew Murray Willie Telfer Duncan Ogilvie Hutton Bremner Davie Mathie John McCulloch Hope these help

To prove your point and in the interests of balance...

don't know if this is the kind of thing you're looking for, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP6m5DYRQ5Q hope u like the ramones...
