well fan for life

I'm pretty sure @thisGRAEME done a big list on the Terrace (might have been a Textra) a few years back but I don't think there's a more entertaining 90 minutes in the world than that play off game. Take the goals out of it and the amount of nonsense surrounding it is unparalleled.

I enjoyed when the groundsman ran onto the park with a bucket of sand and dumped it about 3 feet away from the flare.

When I hear the ball rasping along the back of the net:

Better than any one of us could have put it:

I think I asked why we didn't have a centralised system to stream all games before and apparently it was part of the Sky deal as that's effectively a competitor. Hence why I think I've got like 9 different accounts across all the clubs own sites.

I think there's a balance here, though. Like obviously supporting Motherwell is going to have its ups & downs (mainly downs this season) so you can't have the output being how shit hot we are. But there's also a point where, after what is probably our absolutely worst performance of the season, they should probably just switch off their phones for a few days to let the dust settle. By all means show us some wanky video of a nice goal we've scored after a win. But see when we've been leathered by Accies, had our most experienced player sell the jerseys for 2 goals before getting sent off for a fucking stupid foul and been totally shite for 90 minutes? How about not putting out some slow motion fluff piece "showing what we're really about". We're no stupid. This is exactly what we were all on about when it feels like our socials are only a kick in the arse away from putting out some "live, laugh, love" content.

Having grown up watching footballing ICON Jim Paterson I feel sorry for weans that have to watch Ricki Lamie. Fully serious here. Jim Paterson is an absolute hero.

Again it's what we all were fucked off with at the end of last year. Like it's a bit of a riddy trying to put a positive spin after such a totally stinking performance. Like I mind Hibs after getting beaten in the derby last season. Radio silence until the next game. Which, imo, is the correct response.

It's probably one of the only fixtures of the season where we are assumed to be the favourite and have a lot of the ball to create chances. And we're shite at that. Stink the place out by defending and score on the break, yes. Use possession to take a hold of the game and pick a team off, absolutely not.

I don't think there's a fixture I go in to with less confidence than any game against Accies. They could be total dug meat for weeks. Barely kicked a ball. Then they turn up against us and look like Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich. It's quite incredible. Anyway. Looking forward to seeing exactly how we'll shit the bed next time we play them.

So I completely understand that Alexander cannae start tearing folk to shreds in the media. But I lasted about 15 seconds of the post match interview at the weekend. "So Graham, what went wrong?" - A fucking stupid question. "I didn't think there was much in it until the first goal." - They scored after 6 minutes. I mean ffs what a stupid interview.

Aye I've got a fair amount of sympathy for Alexander for the current situation. I reckon Lawleff would be a stick on starter if he's fit. We've upgraded on Chapman by bringing in Kelly. As for the others I suppose we're just hoping for the best at this point. Ultimately this:

Thistle's pies are excellent. The steak & the curry ones. And there's a load of really good pubs there too. A great away day.

An absolute cow, make no mistake. But the show would be dull as dishwater without her.

See I'm the opposite. If I'm getting a solo curry I get a naan instead of rice. Rice just pads it out imo.

I was always under the assumption that the wedding bit was just for show on all of these programs. Then if they hate each other then it's no big deal. And if they do want to stick it out they can do the paperwork stuff after the fact.

It's been wild. Like we've given away more stupid penalties in one season than I've seen in a few years. Like I can almost forgive getting sent off for booting f**k out someone but daft wee pulls in the box are just infuriating to watch. Basically I hope we can, somehow, shithouse ourselves to safety this season and hope Alexander's got some kind of master plan for the summer.

Oh aye. Like I think the biggest shock for all of us is that it's taken this long for him to see a Mugabi/Lamie special. Like the two of them were outstanding on Wednesday but had a complete disaster yesterday. I think it's now that it would be nice to see a bit of a change up with some of the new signings. Particularly defensively.

So I assume that Johnston was sent on because he's the only actual right back we have now. Given that SOD is suspended and Grimshaw's been out with this never ending illness then I suppose that puts him in the offing for a start. I thought he was ok tbf, maybe just lacking match fitness. I'd hope that Nolan & Foley are fit by next week and we can give them a go. Henceforth known as Folan or Noley.

I've got a signed ball that only has David Partridge's signature on it. Scored in a cup final I suppose.

Replacing the seats and signage with a touching homage to paneer.

. I read somewhere he's faster than Mbappe. I assumed there was then a reason that one of them is a World Cup winning superstar and the other is getting a stint in ML1.

My only concern around Johnston is that he looked fucking knackered by full time. Shades of Adam Livingstone vs Celtic. This isn't a dig at him btw. I'm fully aware that's his first actual game of football in months. It was totally abysmal from O'Donnell today. Just fucking stupidity to concede a penalty like that. I also still cannot believe we signed so many folk in January and we still line up with Lamie & Mugabi at centre back. I know they played well during the week but the two of them are a disaster waiting to happen.

Again shoving a camera in someone's face at full time. In the words of Roman Keating. You say it best, when you say nothing at all.

I'm getting Big Zak energy from Magloire.
