MJC Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 56 minutes ago, Gianfranco said: I was in the away end as a neutral for my first Well game in the mid nineties vs Killie. Motherwell won 2-0 Coyle or Coyne scored a double and the Killie fans were raging because they scored a penalty but the ref made them retake it and Woods saved it. My next Well game was 2001 or 2002 away to Kilmarnock in the Scottish cup with my Motherwell supporting pal. I just remember there was a huge support and Faddy scored a penalty to win 1-0. It was Coyle who scored the double in that first game you mentioned, just after he signed in January 1997 so they might well have been his first goals for the club. It was Scott Howie in goal and not Woods that night and he made a superb save from Paul Wright's re-taken penalty. The referee (Martin Clark I'm sure) was forced off injured after only a few minutes so the linesman took over, but in the days before 4th officials I am absolutely sure that it was someone from the East Stand who ended up running the line. The second game you mentioned was in 2003 and was the start of our Cup run all the way to the semis that year. Daddy scored in front of a big away support and it was a good, proper Cup day out. We went back down there on the Wednesday night and lost 0-1 after Dubourdeu elbowed their player inside the box in the last minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_said Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 First game v st Mirren in a league cup section match in 1968 , the well won 6-0. This was a Saturday and on the Monday night played Albion rovers in the second division (motherwell had been relegated the previous season) and won 7-0 and it's been all downhill since. What a season that was , we won the league and scored over 100 goals and this was the legend Joe wark's first season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Look at the size of the away support we had in those days though compared to what we take now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 My first game was IIRC in the 99/00 season, a 1-0 win at home over St Johnstone, Kevin Twaddle scoring in the 9th minute. I went with a friend and his dad for a laugh, and was hooked from that day on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Ainworth play-off was class but that is glorious Sidenote - don't know who's channel this is but it is class.

Can't beat a diving header where the ball is 6 inches off the ground. Was there that night, Muirhouse bus. It was eventful outside afterwards as I recall! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An "unpredictable" winger no less. 6ft 2 like. Disappointing lack of YouTube edits though. Not coming our way...

Gianfranco Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 We’ve got so much better at transfer dealing in recent seasons. Quite right turning down 2 million. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke92 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Good to see the club aren't giving up easily. I honestly didn't see the bidding starting so early, if we keep this up for the summer there could be a lot bigger clubs involved from down south. A lot of folk were scoffing at suggestions of 4m, i honestly think this is what we should holding out for. Giving me the fear the thought of him going to Celtic, honestly would be a kick in the baws 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
