You would never be at Fir Park over the years if poor form was a factor in your going or not. However if we win all the stay away fans and day trippers will be there in their thousands at Hampden it the Motherwell way. Personally I think we will pump Hibs on Sunday and set us up for a semi final, a top 6 finish and a shot at Europe I will be there as usual. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 RE ticket sales, we're sitting in the Main Stand as we couldn't get 2 seats together in the Cooper that weren't away out at the edges. Sales must be not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I’m thinking the semis will either be Celtic rangers hearts and Motherwell OR Dundee Utd. Dundee St Mirren and Hibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised to hear that. Doesn't look like many are sold going by the ticket website! Got the big game feeling. This match will make or break the rest of the season. Either it will launch is forward with a bit of excitement ie Cup football continuing and a platform to hopefully take our remaining games before the split. Surely to God this awful form can't continue for ever... If we loose...well this will be a cracking run in to the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Although not playing well in our last 2 league games we have dominated in possession and shots. everyone knows the only stat that counts is goals. Also everyone knows we need to turn those favorable stats into goals and stop gift wrapping goals for the opposition. I think it’s probably easier to cut out gifting the goals so I think our biggest issue will be, can we actually score a few. COYW!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs got what they deserved that night. We asked for a postponement but their Chairman Tom Hart accused us of underhanded tactics and in effect cheating in trying to get the game called off despite having medical evidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite Motherwell team. Pat Gardner was a lovely passer of the ball from midfield and could slide well-weighted passes into both inside forward positions where Davidson, Pettigrew and Graham would invariably be making runs. This was a really solid side with very few shortcomings. We could’ve done with a better centre-half as big Willie McVie could be a bit erratic and Bobby Graham could’ve been greedier in front of goal instead of trying to lay off for Willie P. Oh and we were cheated out of two Scottish Cup finals on the trot by really dodgy refereeing decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinello wasn’t fully fit but was on the bench and had to come on as a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hibs had a really good side at that time with a number of Scottish internationalists - Eric Schaedler, John Brownlie, Pat Stanton, John Blackley, Des Bremner, Arthur Duncan all played in these games. Later that year they beat Liverpool 1-0 in the UEFA Cup 1st Round 1st Leg at Easter Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he was coming to the end of his career, Alex Edwards was providing a fair bit of guile in their midfield. They were a very decent side and just pipped us for third, and a European spot. As I recall, in the second replay at Ibrox, Peter Marinello came off the bench to score the winner from the penalty spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it looks like we fielded a full team more or less you could see there were a lot of players dragging themselves about the pitch and were clearly suffering fluish stuff. They dug in so well that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
