weeyin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Biggest turnaround was surely McGhee, stepping on the plane to meet Mad Vlad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Biggest turnaround was surely McGhee, stepping on the plane to meet Mad Vlad. His brolly caught in the wind and hence why he didnae get on it. He decided to drive to Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studos Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Best turnaround I've probably seen was against the beggars when we were 2-0 down in the Scottish Cup at the Citadel of Good Football and came back to win 3-2 with Wullie P scoring the winner.

ankles Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Speaking of that, there was a prize winning vegetable grower who died recently in M'well. There was a huge turnip at his funeral. taxi Edit . Best turnaround ever 2-0 nil down to the Beggars at home in the 70's and we win 3-2. Wullie P smashes the ball home Edit No2 but then we were 2-1 down at half time to come back to win 4-2 against said great unwashed .

Burn_Broomfield Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 off the top of my head the biggest ( or greatest ) turnaround ive senn was when we were 3-1 down to the beggers in the first game of season and we wouldve won 4-3 if it wasn't for that C**t craig beattie scoring a late goalmouth scramble That cost me fortune. Put a few £ on us to win the second half 3-0 at 100/1 and then bawbag had to score an equaliser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 1969 League Cup 1/4 Final 1st Leg - Morton 3 V Motherwell 2nd Leg - Motherwell 3 V Morton 0 (won 3rd game 1-0 at Ibrox courtesy of big Jumbo Muir) 1970 Texaco Cup 1/4 Final 1st Leg - Spurs 3 V Motherwell 2 2nd Leg - Motherwell 3 Spurs 1 (after being 0-1 down after 5 minutes) 1976 Scottish Cup 4th Round Motherwell 3 V Celtic 0 (after being 0-2 down at half-time) I seem to also recall us being 0-2 down to Dunfermline at half-time in an SPL game at FP which would have put us in the relegation shit when Stevie Cowan popped up and bagged a hat-trick to win us the game. He's fat, he's round, he's worth a million pounds, Stevie Cowan. Repeat. Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdalli10 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 out of interest, what the hell is/was the texaco cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm trying to think and can't remember any examples not already mentioned. Mostly its memories of other teams doing it to us! I remember one especially bad day being 2-0 up and cruising against a poor Partick Thistle side.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have a friend who is a Thistle supporter who tells me that game is one of the real highlights of many Thisle fans' time watching football. I seem to remember when they equalised, you just knew they would go on and win it. They had a good support through that day as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 out of interest, what the hell is/was the texaco cup? It was a British Cup for the teams that just missed out on qualifying for Europe, when Texaco stopped sponsoring it the Irish teams dropped out and it became the Anglo-Scottish Cup. We had some cracking games with English clubs, I particularly remember the ties against Stoke, Coventry, Fulham, and that Tottenham match. It was the nearest we got to big European nights in those days, and the games seemed to attract pretty good crowds if memory serves. A lot of the highlights of my early days watching Motherwell came in the Texaco Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdt Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 What about us leading 2 nil against St Mirren at half time. A Ross McCormack double. Then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 http://www.rsssf.com/tablest/texaco.html Here's a link to the scores and winners. In the early years clubs like Spurs, Wolves, and Newcastle took part in it, but the longer it went on England began sending the likes of Oldham, Notts County, and Bristol City from the lower leagues and Scotland took exception to this so we withdrew but not before Rangers had been put out by Chesterfield. I was at both of those games and to be fair the best team won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzie Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Dougie's last game was against St. Johnstone at McDairmid (sp) in May of that season If I remember correctly. Are you sure about that? I thought his last game was against Aberdeen at Fir Park, when McCleish subbed him. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 0-2 against Hibs in 1998, won 6-2. I can't recall us coming back from three-down though.Probably this. Did they not score both before 10 mins? Think something like 8 mins gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Probably this. Did they not score both before 10 mins? Think something like 8 mins gone. Yes, 7 or 8 minutes. Some, though not many, fans left at that point. Jim Duffy was sacked by Hibs in the wake of this result which paved the way for Alex McLeish to replace him.
