I vaguely remember we signed a new guy but don’t remember his name 

Be interesting to see how much time he gets. Had a wee rest after Norway. Might need a mini Preseason?

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

These wee lulls are real shit.
Decent last result so no real moans and no games....

Chairman, CEO, DOF and now a "technical director"?

Is someone playing FM up there?

Was that other one a straight red?

I only saw it once and I didn't think it was a terrrible decision but my mate is sure it wasn't.

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

Aberdeen being decent before we play them is a pain.

The match report from that Ayr fan is poor

My missus talks to me like f**k when I am working from home. Seems to think this is ok. 

[VAR?]

[VAR?]

Rangers about to lose out to VAR?

Edit: they did

Aye. The only embroidery on mine is what's in the picture.

I was just a wee guy anaw but my memory was that my Da got it from Fir Park. Which makes sense as it's where I got every other Motherwell shirt. As like @Swello I have memory of going up to that wee hatch in the main stand to get them.

Sure the reason I didn't have one for the cup final was cos the afore mentioned wee shop had the additions and my Da asked me to choose and I couldn't. (I think much to his delight).

I also mine the wee hatch and wee corridor on the main stand, stood in there a few times as players and manager went past while buying tickets wi ma Da.

If I remember correctly (which I probably don't) the white one was available first but only from a shop in Bellshill.

I was a wee guy but I am sure that was suhin like "McEwans Sports" on the main street. Maybe near the bank of scotland. 

I am sure they had ones that said "winners" and "Runners up"under that bit about the final.

Probably unlikely he hits a growth spurt now eh

 

 

aye probably but I am pretty sure Dennis Rodman grew about 9 inches when he was 23 or suhin. Maybe there is hope for the wee man. 



I dunno what my first kit was. I'd have to ask my faither and he's got a memory like a sieve, I'm interested to find out now but I imagine it'll something from the late 80s or 90/91.

I also love the beginings of the Conference league. Seeing grooups of mid table Hungarian and Czech teams is fun.
There is still too much of a drop out from the other competitions. Roma and West Ham being the previous winners.

Ruins it a wee bit.

I’ve had a soft spot for Tromso ever since watching them pump Chelsea in the UEFA Cup in mental snow in the late 90s. Class we’ve signed one of their former players. 
 

Also became a huge fan of Mr Zola that day who became my username for this when I couldn’t think of one. 

Remember the game well.

ex-players should help out in the VAR room is mental. 

f**k me the amount of times I have heard that recently, worst idea in the world. Most of them are morons.

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

I'm amazed at the amount of folk who claim to be pros or ex pros related to the football world who seem to think that Dan Casey should have been sent off.

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

The *** who lit his flare threw it on the park and left his seat in the main stand when we scored at FP was quite funny.

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

I've always thought Spittal was a good player. Don't him numbers show that? I mean he's obviously been great recently but I always liked him.

[Rangers v Motherwell: Sat 3pm]

It's completely wild that's anything but a foul to Motherwell

[Rangers v Motherwell: Sat 3pm]

It wasn't even a fucking foul. McAusland it the one who's late, turns his back and connects with Casey. 

[Rangers v Motherwell: Sat 3pm]

Look at the selective stills again

There is a video angle where you see he's 3 yards from the wee guy when those stills are taken.

[Rangers v Motherwell: Sat 3pm]

The selected images used of Casey's tackle are fucking hilarious.

I’m not sure that’s entirely right. 

Referees are still being assessed from the stand, so if they make an incorrect decision they’ll still be marked-down for it even if VAR allows them to change their mind. 

 

Just now, AJF said:

It’s not something I have any stats for so I can’t say for certainty, but I think referees are shirking out of decisions more.

I’d like to see the number of penalties awarded on average pre-VAR, and then compare this with the number of penalties awarded on-field post-VAR. I may be wrong, but I’d hazard a guess at the number awarded post-VAR on-field would be lower.

Aren't they told to let the play run? it's not that they are shirking out of it, it's more they can let the game flow and then checks go on when needed. They won't be marked down for it either as this is how it is to be used. 

[VAR?]

I really don't get anyone trying to separate VAR and the people using it. 

 

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

I mind a Celtic fan in the East stand Getting mouthy, standing up and saying something as he tried to walk out. He was about 8 rows behind me and people were letting him walk right past them. I tried to climb back thinking I was gonna lamp him. Thankfully someone else did it after I got over about 3 rows cos the guy woulda kicked ma kunt in.
