Yir Elder Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 A chat with Flow earlier this week got me thinking about that. We used to be fairly decent on Sky/BBC but in recent times things haven't been great when Motherwell featured on live TV. But how bad is it? Well it transpires that we have failed to win in the last 22 occasions we've been live on TV. Our last win was the CIS Cup Quarter Final against Aberdeen in November 2005, when Kerso scored early and Buzz saved a pen. Since then we've only mustered 5 draws and suffered 17 defeats on the telly, covering the whole of 2006, 2007 and 2008...up until now anyway. Our 23rd attempt to end that hoodoo comes on Saturday at Accies, so here's hoping we can put it to bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 to be fair... the majority of games we are on telly with are games where we're not really expected to win (i.e. old firm) Although it looks bad on paper, I'd take that kind of statistic with a pinch of salt. We will beat Hamilton this weekend, and end talk of this type for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfinz Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 We should bring back Ged Brannan for all televised games! He liked nothing better than a goal when SKY visited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellarmy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 The goal against killie from about 40 yards was a peach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweed Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 We've had a couple of games with United, one with Killie, a cup game with St Johnstone and one with Dunfermline. Apart from that have we had any that were not against the OF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 We've had a few shockers on the box in the last couple of years. Hearts & Aberdeen at home in the Malpas era, then that was followed by the 4-1 scuddin up at East End Park (would I be correct in saying Jim O'Brien played for Dunfermline that night?) I think i'm right in saying we've only ever won once on Setanta, and that was Skippy Sunday. I can't think of any other win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did indeed, scored the opener if i remember correctly and generally ripped us a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 The goal against killie from about 40 yards was a peach Pretty sure it was nearer 80 yards. Or so Mr Brannan would tell you..... Really has been a very dismal run on Sultana telly. We need to insist that every game is covered by BBC Alba...or not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesDmfc Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Was thinking about this the other night and cant believe the last time we won a match live on tv was 2005! We must end this run on saturday with a win at accies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Spark Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Time to end the hoodoo this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellArmy_88 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 What a perfect way to end it it with nothing less than a win against the accies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Replying to the original post the last time we won on live tv was when it was black and white pictures and Vera Lynn was riding high in the charts. . Which is just before we last scored a goal from open play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Along the same lines, when was the last time we won after one of our players appeared in the paper the day before saying the players are all up for it? It always seems to come back and bite us on the bum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
