Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Does it really matter? If we get to a final, it will be against celtic again. And that would mean beating Rangers again.

 

I cam only wish for a cup run where we don't have to face the old firm in the semis/final.

I'm going to try out the OF mentality of just assuming we've won the cup until we haven't. None of this underdog/enjoy the day bollocks. In fact, we should fire SK if we don't win.

That works for me.

Maybe just about the best draw I think? Celtic almost always raise their game for Rangers whereas I still think there's a slight chance Aberdeen manage to shock them. Rangers were in a better place in March when we beat them than they are now. Both of the above happening are massive longshots obviously- as us then beating Aberdeen in the final would be too.

You will never ever convince me that the powers that be don't do everything they can to keep the OF apart in these draws. 

I don't care what you say or what stats show.

Rangers at Hampden in the league cup semi final is it?

See if that was a video tape - that bit where the ball riffles the net would be worn through.

Going to enjoy a couple of months of three clubs completely dismissing us, then us embarrassing two of them en-route to making our team of big names immortal.

I hope we're sounding out Ryan Bowman for some seminars.

There's certainly logic to say this is the best draw we could have asked for but it's still a huge ask to win the semi never mind start dreaming about December.

However, you need to buy a ticket to win the raffle etc. we've shown we can compete with rangers and frankly they're fragile enough a wobble isn't impossible. And Celtic, invincible as they seem, will not win every game this season...if it gets that far we'll just use the luck we didn't get in the last three finals against them!

Financially it is probably the best draw assuming they pool the 2 semi finals and divide by 4 ? They used to do that iirc.

If we had drawn Aberdeen the crowd would probably have been under 30,000. This way it will be 2 almost full houses of 100k combined.

Avoiding Celtic was the aim. Rangers will rightly be odds on favourites but there is still a better chance to surprise them imho.
