    Time to get over the Chris Cadden thing lads. 

    Absolutely. One of the rare missteps by The Thread.

    Wasn't a big enough player to have this much fuss made about him. Did us a turn, moved on. 

    Comparisons of Campbell to John McGinn are also more than a stretch. Becoming part of a Premier League team is an outstanding achievement but he won't kick on at that level. 

     

    Anyway on to today.

    As far as "91" goes I think the point where we've completely fucking rinsed it has long since passed - there are only so many times and ways you can tell the story. So in that respect I'm fine with a nod to it being enough.

    There was a period where (IMO) it felt like our defaulting to regular 91 revivals wasn't exactly healthy.

    I know that the 91 team actually won something but I've always found it a bit weird that the club never seemed to celebrate other (arguably better) teams in quite the same way.

    In saying that the Cup win came at exactly the right age for me in that I was young enough to be wide-eyed about it and football in general. 

    The fact that it happened pretty much on the cusp of the Modern Fitba' era and in a pre-internet/digital culture means it's really in that nostalgic sweet spot for me and my Xennial micro-generation.

    But the celebrations of "91" helps show how strong and determined we always are as a club, forged in steel, putting Motherwell on the map, it's in our blood, always bouncing back, ready to be writing the next chapter.

    I think it probably depends on the airport and who's on duty, I doubt it's a hard and fast rule. Did your wife and kids get their passports stamped?

    They did indeed. 

    We actually ended up near front of queue the way it ended up and went through the all passports queue as it was so short. The woman at the desk said next time don't bother just use EU one as they are travelling with me it's fine.

    Had a look online but couldn't find a definite answer so thought I'd check if anyone on here had done similar.

     

    Heading to Portugal soon with wife and kids.

    I'm traveling using my Irish (EU) passport. Wife doesn't have an Irish passport and kids are too young to apply for Irish Citizenship+ Passport (in time for this trip) so have UK passports as well.

     

    So the question is can we travel in the EU Passport Queue coming and going to Portugal with the family travelling together? Or am I likely needing to wait in the Non-EU queue as some of us don't have EU passports?

    Killie vs ‘Well

    I didn't actually notice that the first time, but nonetheless as soon as Van Veen deliberately plays the ball (his second touch, not his first), that plays him onside. The rule about players whose momentum takes them off the pitch is interesting - my understanding is that both the Killie player and the Motherwell player would count as being on the goalline for the purposes of offside, meaning that he'd be onside anyway, but I personally think that rule makes zero sense.

    Thats the correct interpretation and why he's not offside. 

    The rule of player off the park being classed as on the edge of the park was to stop defenders stepping off the park and therefore playing a striker offside because no one was 'on the park.'

    Of all the titbits to discuss today, chasing the game we put on (only) SOD, Aitchison and Slattery while ignoring Mckinstry, crankshaw, Tierney and Danzaki.

    Can obviously say well done this time but it's a rather damning indictment on them...it's one thing not starting them, ignoring them when chasing a game late on suggests SK sees next to no use for them whatsoever.

    I'd be surprised to see Tierney, Crankshaw or Danzaki playing at Premiership level after they leave us tbh.

    “Stuart impressed the board, not only with how he has got the team going in the last two games against St Mirren and Hearts, but with his vision for the club,” Chairman Jim McMahon said. 

     

    Did they just replace Steven and St Johnstone from the August press release?

     

    Seriously though I think it's the right move at this stage. A good start and hopefully continues into next season.
