I did expect that Rangers Meedja would be all over Bowman today especially after the days recently spent on Pena. 

If a player was red carded would he miss the next league game(s) OR would it be confined to the final?

Enjoyable game for the neutral....Motherwell got stuck into Rangers and rattled them. Alves should be expecting a retroactive ban, as might Moult for his wee retaliation. The "elbows" from both sides were 50-50 balls and accidents IMO but the referee should have stopped play to make sure the head knocks weren't serious but then again he was pretty rank and looked like a lost wee boy for most of the game. Just hope all the handbags and the ref's ineptitude doesn't gloss over the fact that Moult's second goal was absolutely tremendous! Motherwell have a decent squad there and in Moult they have one of the best strikers in the league. Motherwell are going to have to play much better against Celtic in the final as they looked susceptible at the back a few times but for today everyone associated with the club should enjoy the result

What sort of a person would a neutral be?

An inexplicable concept in such a fixture.

Feel like this might get lost in amongst all the general hilarity of yesterday, but it was yet another absolute minter for the Union Bears.

Rangers' display, Steelmen on to Misery, RFC 27 - 1 MFC:

So the Union Bears, possibly still spewing from the Old Firm the other week (where the Green Brigade found out what their display was going to be and made a banner anticipating it), tried to do the same thing here. To start with, even going to the lengths of making a banner about Motherwell shows just how low Rangers have fallen. :lol:

For some reason, the stewards and police really didn't want them to put the banner up, so after a few minutes of fighting with them, the UB went further up and slanted it across the stand. Meanwhile at the other end, the Well Bois were setting off smoke bombs and displaying their banner without any hassle. :lol:

Also, the 27 - 1 on the banner refers to how many times Rangers have won the League Cup compared to Motherwell. Without even needing to get into the new club debate, starting a dick-measuring contest regarding the number of League Cups you've won is an absolute riddy. :lol:

And just to rub it in, Motherwell won the game 2-0. :lol:

Aye it was quite telling that they should do that for us to be honest. Time was the Rangers support wouldn't even acknowledge the Motherwell support, let alone dedicate a display about us.

The further beauty of the Rangers fans' banner of course, is that it once more reveals their towering insecurity over continuation. 

I'm pretty neutral on the question myself, but their fans seize any opportunity to stress the shared history they claim to have with the previous incarnation.  It reflects too how relatively grim their present is.

It's great to see these things repeatedly blow up in their faces.

What sort of person can be neutral on the liquidation and reincarnation of a football club?

:lol: Ah, right enough.  Good one.

The sort who treats the circumstances on their merits though and recognises what a guddle the whole thing was.  They're kinda new/kinda old.
