Popular Post Al B Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) There's a known "Turnbull to West Ham for 9m" wind up that a Celtic fan starts every transfer window. Could be just that? Onto last night - usual caveats in place - I absolutely loved that, that's the most I've enjoyed a match in a long, long time. Years. Mostly to do with the intent and what we're trying to do. It's absolutely night and day to GA's reign with essentially the same players. Joe Efford running at full-backs doing stepovers at full pelt? About 6 weeks ago I watched Joe Efford trip over the ball when he was standing still, with no-one near him. Who'da thought not being coached a negative, depressing, joyless fun-vaccuum would make such a difference. Again, there's all the standard things to bear in mind; not only lower league opposition, but lower league opposition not playing well (albeit I think we have to give ourselves at least some credit there...we absolutely went out with the attitude that we're a better side and we'll set the levels here). How many times though have we seen us handle these games with a "we have to respect the opposition, we'll have to be patient" approach and absolutely f**k it when the lower league side is just more up for it. That was more of a "we have absolutely no issues with believing we're the better side here", and I'm absolutely on board with that. And that seemed to flow through each player as well, not just the team as a whole. McKinstry drawing in an ICT player right in front of his gaffer, and flick-flacking past him like he was playing 5's with his wee brothers pals, had me squealing like a wee girl. I haven't squealed like that since I was a wee girl. NO-ONE is even trying flick-flacks in a Graham Alexander side. And you'd probably get subbed off if you did. Again, can't stress enough how much I'm hanging on to a sense of realism in the big picture here, but after 2 years of not even enjoying games we won, I will happily spend today getting carried away with myself over having had a great night watching great football for the first time in fucking forever. Can someone send the full match footage to GA please? Edited September 1, 2022 by Al B 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels within wheels Might not be anything but there are suggestions of Turnbull moving from Celtic today. Just woke up after a night shift and read this as Turnbull moving to us from Celtic today , nearly choked on my coffee ! Thought we were looking at a special deal normally only reserved for our dealings with Newcastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambunctious Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What was with the phone torches being put up in the air towards the end last night? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I just thought it was the various 'Well singing sections winding each other up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Also I mentioned to some mates but do Motherwell still have an Instagram account? I think they might have blocked me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 At first I did say "that's a bit Celtic-y for me"...but then it did look quite cool to be fair. Also fair play to the wee boys down at the front of the Cooper starting their own wee singing section. Could feel it starting to spread along the stand already. Reminds me of the very early days of the Bois before they went all Superman Pt. III and started smashing up folks' gaff. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I like the idea of rival singing factions in the support. Maybe we can get some of the main stand guys to sing hymns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Looks like Moult may be heading north but not to us if rumours are to be believed. Edinburgh clubs and now Aberdeen quoted as being interested. Probably bull. But would be a sore one to see him in anything other than Claret and Amber. Even if it is just for one game b4 he inevitably breaks down. No signings yet. Was hoping after seeing the hot topic button on the thread we had signed someone ! Hopefully an exciting evening ahead. Would like a forward and a CB please. Anything else a bonus. Edited September 1, 2022 by welldaft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Goodwin has denied it apparently. I reckon we are going to end up signing him now, given it seems like Burton/his agent are desperately trying to drum up interest from anybody other than ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The video clips show the build up to the goals but not the penalty decisions. I am sure I would laugh at a rerun of the second award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
