Put him in defence and big Bevis Mugabi up front again? Maybe not.

It's absolutely horrendous out there and supposed to get worse with very strong winds (stronger than last weekend when the game became a farce). Can't really have any complaints to be honest.

These sort of double headers often seem to result in a win and a defeat. However, forgetting about the Celtic run of games a few years ago, I can remember getting 2 home wins against Celtic in the 90's and, more recently, 2 against Dundee United. Much as losing the league game would be a sore one with the run we're on I'd probably take a win in the cup game over the 3 points. Winning both would be lovely but I just don't see where our goals are coming from.

Oh dear, I'm worried now as I went to the same school as Derek Ferguson. Fortunately they've since knocked it down and built houses on the land.
Howling at this.......[emoji37][emoji37]
We must blame the skoolz, naw ?0 -
The coverage was dreadful. I was hoping for some mini-Open All Mics which they could easily have done. Instead I got full on Celtic then Rangers coverage with the only updates from the other games being goals or red cards. No discussion on how the games were generally going or missed chances which really wouldn't have taken much effort.

Yeah, looks like you're right and St. Mirren won 1-0 with Godfrey scoring. It was only 33 years ago! (God, I feel old).

I'm confused- that looked like 3 goals for us in the highlights or was the ball that bounced down from the bar not over the line? Looked well over.

To be fair, the fourth was never a penalty.

Was that not his home debut (he headed against the bar midweek at Celtic on his debut) and he had us 2 up within 10 minutes? It all went downhill from there.See also: Crawford Baptie vs Dundee.0 -
Ah, memories of a midweek game and an altercation between Stevie Kirk and Billy Abercrombie for which they both got sent off (allegations of spitting by Kirk). Abercrombie refused to leave so the ref sent him 4 times and he ended up with a 12 game ban. Helped liven up a fairly drab (1-1 draw (IIRC).Back in the day, there was a fence right down the middle of the North Bank, right where the middle logo on the roof is in my photo. To the left of the fence, the home support were located, the away support to the right. There were some tasty exchanges across that fence down the years. The North Bank was fcuked the day the seats went in. The Main Stand was a hundred years past its sell-by date, and the new Love Street end stand was a freezing cold wind tunnel. As much as I miss Love Street for the emotional ties, the away fans had by far, the best deal.0 -
Couldn't complain about the steepness of that stand! If anything it could be a bit dodgy walking down the steps to your seat.

Thanks. It turns out she has a family member works at the Edrington place in Drumchapel. Guessing she got it through him. Much appreciated Christmas present anyway.

For that antiquated feel with restricted legroom and ancient toilets? At least it would save them the hike round to the South Stand.

Winners of the replay will be at home to Aberdeen or Kilmarnock.

You'd have been ok, Motherwell fans don't swear. [emoji6]We normally have a Home support of about 4,200 however yesterday the home support was less than 3K. There was a bigger crowd v Hamilton a few days before and Hamilton only brought around 200 with them.
Why the huge drop-off? No idea really. Several die-hards around me failed to turn up. Maybe the weather, maybe the cost of 2 games a week at the moment but it was a poor turnout from us.
And once before we allowed opposition supporters into a section of the (non swearing) family stand but their behaviour was unacceptable causing a flood of complaints so the experiment has never been repeated.1 -
I recorded Sportscene last night and have just watched the highlights. Didn't realise how close both teams came to scoring at the far end and we could easily have conceded a penalty for handball.

To be fair you could have said the same about our game against Celtic on Wednesday. Putting visiting supporters into stands with the home support is a logistical nightmare and pisses off the home support which is why we decided to stop housing Old Firm fans in the Main Stand last season.
We had the strange situation a few seasons ago when we drew Hearts at home, made the away stand all-ticket and Hearts managed to sell their allocation. By the time the match was played we were in the middle of a spell of snowy weather with warnings not to travel and we had a dreadful support (not helped by the match being live on tv) whereas Hearts filled the away stand as they'd already bought their tickets.
Similarities yesterday as I'm not sure as many would have gone through with that weather forecast. At least we got a last minute winner against Hearts (somebody show Carl McHugh' s screamer please).1 -
To be fair, he didn't get that much of a chance to do much else as we made him redundant a few months later. And yes, he probably should have had a fourth.Simply, because I've never seen it since - The Strange Case of David Ferere: Small man in vast shorts scores an "identical hatrick" as a substitute on his debut, does nothing of note again and is made redundant after about 5 games.

Looked fairly accurate to me. I was surprised Saints had less than 3000 there though (but not commenting too much- who knows how many we'll get to turn out for a midweek replay!).Typical penny pinching from St. Mirren when they have to share the gate takings.
Mind this game?

Yeah, the TF stand was sparse and the West had gaps but there was way more than the official attendance of 4400-odd.0 -
Just back home. Pretty poor fare all round, not helped by the weather but a draw was fair.
Ah well, on to the replay.0 -
Pretty even first half. Down to who takes their chances and we took one. Wind getting up and could make a big difference to second half (in St. Mirren's favour).

What about Hladky's saves? Do they not count?
Poor, scrappy game with the ball bouncing about. Surprisingly low key atmosphere for the attendance- shit game not helping.0 -
He's with a Greek club and it looks as though their season finishes on the 1st of March but he signed a 2 year deal.

When was the last time Watt played? I'd be surprised if he starts tomorrow, think we'll start with same 11 as Wednesday.
