Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

I’m still bamboozled by what the f**k he was trying to do at the byline in that ill fated pumping by Dundee.
The Dundee game was when he lobbed Samson with a backwards header from the edge of the 18 yard box. Him fannying about on the byline was against Ross County. Around 1.40 in these highlights if anyone wants to reminisce -

Random question, since I was walking past the back of the South Stand yesterday. Does anyone have any pictures of what that area used to look like, while it was still terracing? Meaning the actual turnstile bit. I dont think I've ever seen it, compared to the numerous amazing pictures of the iconic entrance where the Chapman building now stands.

He also had a shocker against Hearts on his own byline.

Zak Jules' highlight reel with us is quite something.

Ariyibi, Ciftci, Ainsworth, Turnbull, Polworth. Would happily watch us win or lose by 5 goals a game. Pure entertainment value. Get it done Burrows!

Take away Ciftci and I’ll buy a lifetime season ticket.

It’s burned into my mind, those are the gates I walked up to, got lifted over, as a boy

Mind when Frear did stuff? Weird, weird times.

From what I remember, they were nothing remarkable. Just 3 or 4 sets of double turnstiles in the brick boundary wall that extended to the main stand. There were another couple of turnstiles in the end wall of the main stand in the corner that was formed which led to the south enclosure in front of the main stand. That's where I was taken when I was a boy and lifted over the turnstile until it was getting to the point where I could just have lifted my dad over. Great place to watch the game for a small kid - plenty of room to mess about and also really close to the pitch and players.
