mio

The whole set up just stinks!! i congratulate the reps from Dundee Utd and Killie for standing up and coming up with a better more radicle solution to the durge that is Scottish Football at the moment. Ive watched Motherwell for 30 yrs and have never been so bored by the game and the people in charge, this includes the people in charge of our own club!! Football and more importantly football fans have changed, i have a 6 yr old who plays and likes playing football but trying to get him to fir park is a total chore, he says its too cold and miserable!! as do the majority of weans (our future fans) feel!! Maybe kids are not as hardy as they have been in the past and are too used to being pampered but this is the way of things!! We are crying out for summer football, seasons from March to November, and for the years there are World Cups/ Euros, start a few weeks earlier and end a few weeks later!! If anything if we do qualify as a nation the players will be half way through the season, sharp and not jaded at the end of an arduous season!! Sky i'm sure would be back in the equasion as they would have around 4 months of football free telly as the english season would close, crowds would go up, kids would attend in their strips, i can only see positives from summer football!! Ditch the 2 leagues of 10 idea, a greedy idea for the bigger clubs, 16 team league in summer where young players can come through will work !! my 30 yrs of supporting may be gone due to my apathy along with many others i know who support many other clubs!!

The fact when he covers the Rangers games on telly he still uses "We" when talking about them means he can f*k off!! Big Butcher had a big Career at Ibrox and never once did that after he left them!! He'll probably bring in the flying pig as our goalkeeping coach as well for him to fleece the club in wages once again!! Truly hope its not him!!

ok he said he was staying then went!! so what!! he didn't have a contract (no fault of his own) he steaded the side after Gannon left, he did a good job!! Boyle never really supported him so why should he owe us anything? i for one have no issues with brown or knox.......however i still want Aberdeen to go down (cos i just dae)!! And i hear there is a strong possibility desperate dan will be back as Barry Manilow....sorry john boyle, still fancies him......sorry rates him as a top manager!! if he comes back that will be a boot in the haw maes for our support!!

ok fair doos!! I do get behind the team and i never go to a game and boo anyone, especially our players.......its just i've now watched Stephen Craigan continually make f*k ups to cause us games for 10yrs now, through giving away penalties, indecisive decisions and an overall lack of ability!! and ok, he's got 50 caps for the Irish....yada yada yada.........i just get exhausted watching him every week!! I apologise to all the posters here who believe he is a wonderful talent!! still 4th place at this time of season is an excellent achievment, well done lads (i like to end on a positive)

Another Loss caused by a Craigan Error!!

Anyone know of a link to the game today? i cant make it to Bigotville.

If anyone can enlighten me it'd be appreciated but as far as i'm aware we cannot sell Fir Park for housing!! Fir Park was Given to Motherwell over 100 yrs ago by the Duke of Hamilton to be used as a recreational area only (motherwell not owning the land outright)!! By law, which i presume hasn't changed the land is solely for recreation purposes!! Similar to what Cathkin Park is, Third Lanarks old ground (For which Tesco tried to buy the ground years back but ended up not buying due to not being able to build on it!! i think if we move it will not be with any money from the sale of fir park!! And i doubt Boyle will wish to use his own money to build his 6000 seater dream shoe box!!

Completely agree with you over Craigan, the guy seems to get heeps of praise off some people on here but he's done, best seasons were years ago, even then he was a limited, but Reynolds has something in him if he were playing alongside a better player or a Saunders or Hutchinson!! i could never criticise a player playing alongside Craigan as he's basically doing 2 jobs!! He should stick to his pundit role on the TV as he seems to think he's Franz Beckenbauer!! His driven passes into the stands are a joy to watch!!

What a desperate game, 2 teams that dont look very good and both look knackered!! I hate harping on about Craigan but we always look like we'll lose goals with him playing, he's been all over the place, he let Maloney in for his 1st chance and his positioning and distribution is dire!! And i wish i had a wee clicky thing to check how many times he balloons the ball out of play, every f*king game, no-one near him yet he pings it right into the crowd...it would be laughable if it wasn't so annoying!!

Why the Fuck is Blackman not playing? and Sutton is in!! sutton never scores against better teams!! Blackman has pace and can damage that defence, he was unfortunate with his chances the other night!! i think Brown's hogging our midfield and it'll be a negative performance!! we should be having a go at Celtic today!!

Excellent!! But Dont even get me started on KevinTwaddle!!

haha, this is only my opinion!! and i've never been near anyones crack pipe!!!

Randolph was at fault with the 1st goal, inswinging crosses into the box he cant deal with!! Rooted to his goal line!! Craigan is way too slow and his distribution is god awful........How bad are Northern Irish centre halfs if he's still their top choice!! 2nd goal was embarrassing!! Midfield needs fixed badly, way too slow!! ok Humphreys is quick but so is usain bolt, i'm guessing he cant cross a ball either!! Lasley.....too slow, no vision...tries hard tho Jennings........too slow, creates nothing!! Hateley.....been to the gym too much, has got slower!! plus side, we're still in the tie, and odense aren't that good apart from djemba dude and utaka who will cause us problems due to our frailties above!!

jennings has been shit anyway...created nothing all night and was a yard slow for everything!!

Craigan looked like a pensioner there!! pish!! 2 defensive errors!!! very poor as they aren't any better than us!!

What's happened to him? I know he had a bad injury last season but as far as i'm aware he's over it now and fully recovered. Does Craig Brown not rate him? When he broke through last year he was immense, in my 30yrs of watching Motherwell i haven't seen as much potential in any young defender we've had!! that's including the Likes of Boyd, McCart, Wishart, McMillan etc. I really hope the lad gets back in the 1st team cos in my opinion he was a class act, and way better than the likes of Craigan.

If we weren't good enough to qualify off our own backs we dont deserve to be in the Europa Cup. Hope County Stuff 'em!! Hate United!!

Alan Irvine (Sheffield Wed) sitting next to Reynolds Dad in the Main Stand last night!! Surely he'd go somewhere at least at Championship Level?

i know it was a national final, delighted to get there etc, but it goes down as my most deflating day supporting Motherwell!!! To perform the way we did in a final against an average h*n team was horrendous!! Also we had a squad of young h**s pissed in front of us who the polis wouldn't eject!! terrible day!!

Really disappointed he's left, i felt he was a breath of fresh air for our club, someone who wasn't afraid to bed in young players, didn't take any crap from the media or referees. And did his own thing when it came to the team....what a proper manager should be like!! i for one wasn't arsed how he supposedly treated established players, most of them weren't that great anyway and their better days were behind them!!(craigan/Lasley/Mcgarry etc etc etc) i think he will become a very good manager and it's a shame we'll not see it at Fir Park. Lets hope the young players aren't affected too much and still get their chance, he's brought in Forbes,McHugh, Hutchy and Slane albeit not often due to his injuries!! i doubt any other manager would've gave them a chance!! i for one wish Gannon all the best, his single minded honest approach was far too much for some people to deal with, especially in our "dont like to rock the boat" country!!

Thanks mate, nice one!

i cant make it today and i dont have access to sky, does anyone know if you can watch this on the web? I'm sure there's an Al-Queda TV station or something!! Dont know if Bin Laden is commentating tho!! any links or help appreciated!!

Craigan Dropped!!! not even on bench.....Good shout i think!!

Embarrassing stuff!! i think Mcghee was deserved of getting abuse, as someone put earlier, he has acted like a prostitute and mercenary...however paedo and f****n i find an utter disgrace.....if anything f****n is worse to me as it is a chant that belongs on the terraces of Ibrox. I have supported Motherwell all my life along with my father and brothers and i am a catholic as is my son (who is also Motherwell daft) and i detest both Rangers and Celtic!! I believe 90% of our fans are great and support our club exemplary but there is an element of our support that does have the "h*n without the bus fare" tag, which infuriates me!! i myself have also been told that i'm a h*n!! i just laugh it off but with reports of this at aberdeen we are just setting ourselves up to deserve this tag!! i do think year after year this sectarian element is dying out at Fir Park, not quick enough tho in my opinion!! We have started the season off brilliantly and we have a manager who is better in my opinion than McGhee!! Can we not just get behind the team & club and leave the sectarian crap to the old firm!!

have to say that song sucks baws!! i dont mind if they play any song when we score even that one, but blasting it out at the start when the players come on to the park is " a rid neck" Get a Stone Roses track.....This is the One......now that'd be the baws!!
