postiejim Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I dont know if its the under 19,s who will be on show or if like the game at Fauldhouse last week one or two familiar faces will be playing. Like you say Haggis hope there is a good turnout . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say Haggis hope there is a good turnout . Would be disrespectful just to play the U19's maybe play the first team for a half or have a mix of the 19's and first for both halfs.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 One questions why this is the first time I and probably most Well fans have even heard this game is taking place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 The only acceptable answer is that MFC was not aware of the Paul McGrillen link to this game. poor poor show on someones part RIP Mowgli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 i posted a link on here that had this game up a few weeks ago so i'm surprised more people havnae picked up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprawell Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hello, I wouldn't personally risk ANY of the starting 11 or potential 3 subs in this game. No disrespect to the McGrillen family, however we are on the edge of greatness in getting through to the next round. I wouldn't want us to pick up any knocks or even expend any unnecessary energy. It's just back timing, given our European run. Why would you want to risk any of these guys??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkySuperSub Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 i posted a link on here that had this game up a few weeks ago so i'm surprised more people havnae picked up on it. I'm guessing that, like me, you're no' part of the massive cleek (sp?) on here, so nae c**t's interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Lets no get to uptight guys, for my money it will be the under 19,s who will be playing today, as has been said we wont take any chances with the game on Thursday. We played a similar game last year and it was the under 19,s + Darren Smith who played that day. Paul McGrillen played for Bathgate in the game .

Yir Elder Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 3-1 Motherwell at halftime. Any idea what the team is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Now 4-2. Team is a mix. Humphrey, Fitzy, Page, Hutch, etc and youth team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 The game finished Motherwell 4 Bathgate 2 ,the Motherwell team was Hollis, Humphrey, Hutchison, Quinn ,Paige Fitzpatrick,Grant,Pollock,Innes,McHugh and Smith. I'm not 100% certain but i think the scorers were Fitzy, Pollock and a double from Smith. Motherwell should have been out of site in the first half but the Bathgate keeper had 3 great saves .We went 2 up then Bathgate pulled one back, we then made it 3-1 ,Bathgate got it back to 3-2 but we responded with a 4th . A decent game and no a bad turnout , Paul McGrillens father presented the trophy to Mark Fitzpatrick. And Bathgates Gary McCulloch was awarded with the motm .Sorry its no a very good report but I'm no blessed wi Flows writing skills. Should also mention that Meechan, McKinnon and a young guy who I aint seen before came on as subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Goalscorers were Smith (did well to nip in between defender and keeper and curl the ball into the corner), McHugh (although it looked 50/50 between him and Smith as they both collided with the Bathgate keeper), Fitzy (good header from a corner), and McHugh (low drive into the corner), in that order. Bathgate were not a bad side although Motherwell deserved to win in the end. Humphrey played at RB and didn't look comfortable at all. I'll be surprised if Fitzy doesn't get a chance in the first team soon. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Motherwell front two of Smith and McHugh at some point.

I thought Bathgate were a decent side as well Finlay, they had a guy called Payne who I,m sure played with Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellfan1984 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I thought Bathgate were a decent side as well Finlay, they had a guy called Payne who I,m sure played with Aberdeen. Yeah they do. IF there is a person to look to if you know anyone who thinks they're better than they are it's him. Had the chance to go onto a lot better things but preferred booze, drugs and girls more.

Lobey_Dosser Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Fitzpatrick looking good then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I thought he did. Keeper pulled off a great save to deny Fitzy scoring from a lob and he took his headed goal very well. Apart from that was solid in midfield. Should get his chance soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Copper Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 HUMPHREY played the best game ever in a Motherwell shirt last season (HAMILTON) @ Right back. . Give him a run in the team at R/B and he could prove you wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Football Club Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I thought he did. Keeper pulled off a great save to deny Fitzy scoring from a lob and he took his headed goal very well. Apart from that was solid in midfield. Should get his chance soon. Was he playing defensive or attacking within the midfield? Always thought he had the makings of a great defensive mid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Well tartan I can't give him a run in the team at any position but if I was in charge of team selection I would have Saunders or Hateley in that role before him. Just my opinion mind. Should we read more into it that Brown is looking at him in another position when we are so short of players for the position he specialises in? Maybe. Maybe not. Time will tell how he fits into the team. Motherwell, Fitzy played in a more attacking role today but certainly covered the park. Whether it was down to his experience I'm not sure but he looked confident and composed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie boy Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Fitzy, Hutch, Page all played well today. Don`t get why CB don`t try Page at RB, looks good at getting forward, with decent delivery. Seen him at Ayr aswell, n thats both games he has played at LB, when RB would surely be a more natural position for him? Smith took his 2 goals well, and could easily have had 4. Him n Mchugh look good partnership up top. Good 2 see Fitzy staking a claim today, made a few good runs, was unlucky from a wee dinked volley 1st half. Pollock looks to have a great touch and awareness about him, 1 to keep an eye on. Humph aint a RB, but thought he did well 2nd half, put a few good crosses in, set up the 2nd goal. Decent wee run out, on an immaculate playing surface! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Sure Smith + McHugh worked a nice wee partnership together in the 19`s last year, promising for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
