I suspect that most of my peer group aren’t that passionate about football anymore. We like it, we’d miss it if it was gone, but it’s not all consuming. Mate I’m 52 and still get butterflies in my stomach every time I enter Starks Park. It’s the ultimate thrill. You shoulda maybe stayed in the pub and not went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 minute ago, Raith Against The Machine said: That penalty I have absolutely no idea what the referee even thinks he's seen. It would've taken some touch from Easton to shift the ball away from himself at a right angle as the tackle comes in. Ridiculous. If that was at a pivotal moment in a big game, you'd lose your mind. Was a great challenge from Longridge who's done well since joining on loan from Livi. As you say it wasn't pivotal, far from it so poor refereeing but luckily didn't impact anything. We looked fairly solid at the back last week and even the Dundee game the week before so very disappointing to be carved open. After Gourlay's error early on our brittle confidence showed and Rovers exploited it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really bother me, but just putting my opinion across. Supporting the wrong team if your leaving a game while the rovers are winning 2-0 and giving the excuse as it’s “like a training game” It’s quite a strong opinion. Fellow Rovers supporters calling me a weirdo and pathetic seems harsh to me. What an inclusive, non-judgemental bunch you are. He’s a lapsed Dundee United but he’s been going to the Rovers for years now cause he lives in Kirkcaldy. Just like I’m a lapsed Motherwell fan who lives in Kirkcaldy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Watching the highlights, that miss by Akio confirmed what I already believed to be true. He's really not very good. He's fast, but so is my dug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll stand by that “strong” opinion. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly have a different value system where leaving a ground early once in a while is some heinous act. 18 minutes ago, baillieinleeds said: Mate I’m 52 and still get butterflies in my stomach every time I enter Starks Park.

You’re just blabbering on now so just forget it. Do what you want to do and that’s fair enough. But coming on here and saying you left at half time because your pal wasn’t feeling it will always get a reaction. It’s a simple as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a prominent poster, I just think you need to start feeling it again. It’s not always pretty. But it’s the fans that matter. It’s what the club deserves. If Motherwell is your club at heart then bash on. Edited March 19 by baillieinleeds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only football teams I give two hoots about are the Rovers and Scotland, but to be honest now my boy is playing football I am more enthusiastic about that. He is mad keen on the Rovers so that’ll keep me going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Jeez, we've just had one of our best results in gawd knows how many years, yet we're greetin about getting a penalty, picking on a fellow supporter cause he left the game early, feckin good job we never lost or Murray would've been getting it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think the only reason the pen was given was the way the defender slid in with his studs up, which of course is dangerous play, regardless if he gets the ball or not. Maybe controversial but that’s how I saw it on the highlights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it doesn't bother me that people leave early in games, they've paid their money to get in by that point, I feel a similar attitude to games is what gives us pathetic home crowds of ~1600 for a league game but ~3700 for a cup final. The fairweather fan is a huge reason why we run at a yearly deficit while trying to remain competitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it was just Lloyd Wilson highlighting how poor an official he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From behind the goals, it didn’t look a penalty a million years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The only issue I have with people leaving early is when they don't. You're not leaving early if you stand in the aisle and block my view, stay in your seat or f**k off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
