I've contacted the BBC a few times asking them to do away with that pointless shite, or at least to move it to the bottom of the match update page where it can be more easily ignored by the vast majority of people who're interested in the actual game. Needless to say, I never got so much as an acknowledgement. No doubt some Marketing wonk has told the BBC they need to be driving customer engagement via interactive features, and the c**ts think they're Facebook now.

That certainly wasn't my intended meaning. If I had a point, it would be that without a time machine it is impossible to say whether this is a good outcome for Dundee, or for Motherwell. My fingers are crossed for brilliant Lamie rather than bombscare Lamie next season, but more in hope than expectation.

Yeah, let's see how this actually pans out in practice. Fingers crossed...

Mission accomplished.

"Mr Gallagher, we're going to show you some pictures, Tell us if you can identify the man who mugged you." "I'm pretty sure he had a beard, that's all I can remember. The whole thing was a blur."

Tierney's has the added bonus that Tait was made to look like a grade A tool in the build up. I have a funny feeling one of Slattery's will be on the podium.

Surprised at the BBC starting up their own Banter Years thread. Not very original, but let's all pile in anyway.

Slattery to start, then?

Or, we could just beat Celtic on the final day.

Having just seen our starting line up, my advice to them would be to stay there and get a three hour head start on drowning their sorrows.

Then we could burn him, right?

Yogi Hughes without tits?

Some c**t always has to take things too far!

Aye, I was just jumping on the pile-in so that I could pretend to be one of the cool kids

This is the second most Steelmen Online post I've ever seen on a P&B Motherwell thread.

That's what I like to see...

That’s what I was telling the missus about the Internet 25 years ago, in a desperate but futile effort to curtail her online shopping. Some genies just won’t go back in the bottle.

^ Poe’s Law strikes again.

Aye, that’s some of the shite I’ve just been listening to.

It’s not so much an argument, more a world view, and like debating with a flat earther it’s best just to save your breath. In the end I let discretion be the better part of valour and opted instead for a passive aggressive approach where I discussed Neanderthals with my wife in the context of the surrounding geology. I doubt he even noticed.

I’m currently sat in a bar near Loch Lomond listening to some fat p***k in shorts with an RFC tattoo on his calf talking about how it’s teams like Motherwell that hold Scottish football back. If you don’t hear from me again for a while it means I’ve let a few pints cloud my judgement and engaged with him on the subject, and am either in the jail or in hospital (he’s a bit of a big c**t.)

The goal celebration that never was.

Aye, after months of being "total dugshite and losing", I'll take a "much room for improvement and a win" any day. The trick now is to at least maintain that new and slightly better performance baseline, and ideally build it on going forwards. It certainly can't do the team's confidence any harm, and it never hurts morale to score 4 and smack another one off the crossbar.

I wondered if it was just me who was a fairweather Sportscene viewer, but obviously not. I did at least watch a couple of the draws, though.
