A 9 minute video that could have been done just as effectively in 90 seconds, fast forwarded through most of his drivel. Delighted the boys signed the deal right enough, a real talent.

I've no doubt he's an astute coach, but if that's how he delivers instructions to the players it's no wonder they're not being carried out the way he wants, poor cvnts probably completely zone out before he gets to the punchline.

I’ve said this before. It’s also no surprise the players look unfit. A 3hr training session is probably 2 and half hours of him talking and 30 minutes fitness and ball work.

Not I think Kelly has much claim to play for Scotland, but he can probably feel hard done by to lose out twice to Clark, who isn't any better really.

As the only currently fit options, I'd say that having to choose between Kelly and Clark the real losers here are Scotland.

Tbf Steve Clarke made it perfectly clear he was aware of the situation but if Gunn and Gordon are injured you eventually have to pick someone... you're certainly relieved we were qualified before it came to it mind

"Former Cayman Islands international Ged 'only on Sky' Brannan" to give him his full official name if you don't mind.

I know it didn't end well - not much from that time did - but I really liked Brannan. His goal against Hearts in the cup is one of my all-time favourites.

Yeah same, I thought he was great.

The only time in my life I've ever had a Motherwell player's name & number on the back of my shirt (and I'll be honest lads, I don't see that stat changing) was "Brannan 5" on the 1998-2000 away shirt.

He was a player.

I managed to acquire his actual away strip! Along with McCulloch and Adams. Recently sold them all on eBay along with a load of others to fund a family holiday. Who knew there was a market for such things?!

The full game is on YouTube if anyone is interested in reminding themselves.

I remember all the chat of us beating the holders being reminiscint of 1991 etc.

I was the mascot in the following round against Stirling Albion. My favourite player in the program was Spencer and the other lad's was Coyle. Spencer gave me £5 as a result, which I was buzzing about. My appreciation of his generosity heightened by the fact I didn't understand he was on 10k a week plus a house and car when I was 8.

Absolute bedlam. I genuinely thought we were going to win the cup that year.

I certainly wasn't going that far given the strength of Rangers at the time but I definitely had high hopes of Hampden...the performance in the home qf v St Johnstone was one of the all-time great shittings of the nest.

From memory Coyle had pushed through a transfer just before and when you now read some of Nevin's tales/excuses from the era it's clear where the wild swings were coming from.
