Can’t believe I forgot about Rangers in ‘91 too. That was a glorious victory.

They tried it once at Fir Park…

Thoughts are with Jordan White’s da today…

You’re at it here surely Craig? Theres’s clear potential for injury on that pitch with large patches of sand that will play and cope differently to the grass.

Why are they going to make a further statement today, if they are expecting Saturday to go ahead as planned?

Absolutely blew my mind that he played alongside Campbell, Haste, Turnbull and Scott. My perception of time is all over the place with this… Motherwell U20s: Pain, McMillan, Livingstone, Maguire (Armstrong ’60), Chalmers, Campbell, Fry, Turnbull, Blyth (Mackin ’65), Hastie, Gordon (Scott ’82)

That 2000 game is one of the best atmospheres I’ve seen in Fir Park. Chasing Europe and 2-0 up against Rangers, with the (unfounded) rumour that Hibs were winning the derby, to put us 4th. Twaddle was excellent that day at stretching the game and keeping us up the park. Wonder if things would have turned out a bit differently with administration and the likes if we had made it to the UEFA cup that year.

Thought at the time that McCausland had left his leg/foot in when he knew that Casey was winning it

You are indeed correct as I have read you wrong. Chat on Wednesday is that 4 people own about 16% of the non WS shares and individual shareholders the rest. I’m not that good at maths to say how any dilution affects it all.

Not sure if this is quite correct. Any investment would be in the way of newly issued shares. This would have the effect of diluting the current shareholders but not eradicating them.

They’ve been on pretty much solid for the last fortnight. North Lodge is lit up like Chernobyl….

Was good enough for Dougie back in the day…

Despite us all agreeing that the show is a shambles of its former self, I hear that instead of trying to improve it; the BBC plan to televise it on a Saturday on the normal downtime of BBC Scotland. Kenny Mac’s angry face, talking about VAR coming to a screen near you soon….

I think it’s more likely to have been the other way around to be honest. Motherwell TV also had our game on internationally, albeit with one camera.

Having a look at referees for tomorrow and spotted something strange. I understand that televised games have a fourth official, with only Celtic-Buckie having VAR. However, of the non-televised matches, only the Killie one has a fourth official. Any idea why?

That was also explained previously at an AGM. The idea behind it is that, building up the WS as a large creditor is, in the event of another financial Armageddon (Admin), they would have a bigger say in any CVA. Pretty much in the same way Boyle dealt with admin

That he got to that ball first for County’s this and still came second best was not what I was expecting…

Sky doing a show on Sunday that reviews the first year of VAR in Scotland. Will include behind the scenes footage from recent St Mirren - Rangers game, as well as Crawford Allan discussing decisions made both last and this season.

Before or after the Christmas party?

That group feels like it could literally be every year since the group stages returned!

Think it’s still a six figure job to get it done. Having seen the exit steps to the front of the stand, I wouldn’t have fancied exiting that way in an emergency.

This should provide more context https://www.linkedin.com/posts/covanburn-contracts-ltd_progress-update-were-making-good-progress-activity-7076853868910800896-Z_qV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios Basically the front of the east stand was a health and safety tightrope for both fans and players

As much as it pains me, I think Mackay was talking about blowing the whistle before the player ballooned the ball over the bar. I think by the rules, he should have let that shot go first. similar to ours from earlier in the season when Deano nearly got his shirt ripped off and we scored.

Came out after the game with it in a sling and looked in a fair bit of pain still so every chance that’s right

Ross County wasting time and playing for a point whilst their relegation rivals were both losing will come back to haunt them
