Swello Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think Robinson's tone in his presser is absolutely spot-on - nothing to give a cheap headline away but no inferiority complex bullshit of the McCall/McGhee type... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Whatever happens on Sunday, Stephen Robinson has been a breath of fresh air to our club this season. You would back his team to win a match like Sunday or the Aberdeen QF before you would back McCall's team of the early 10s, as good as they were they had hearts of mice when it really mattered. If McCall was our manager now he would have whimpered away our chances of winning on Sunday already, saying that if McCall was still our manager we wouldn't have won the Ross County tie, never mind beaten Aberdeen to set up Sunday.

Londonwell Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 There was chat on Steelmenonline about past Motherwell/Rangers games and the Vanguard Bears. It brought to mind their statement after the play off pumping. http://www.vanguardbears.co.uk/article.php?i=61 "Vanguard Bears condemn the disgraceful scenes witnessed at Fir Park on Sunday 31st May 2015 both during and after the Motherwell versus Rangers game. In what was a hostile environment, the home fans indulged in what can best be described as hate crimes. Fans at the game and those watching live on TV were firstly subjected to the following chant, “We f*cking hate Rangers” early on in the first half. This clearly set the tone for what was to follow. Rangers Club Captain Lee McCulloch was assaulted by a flag-wielding Motherwell supporting thug, being struck on his face just below the eye by the three foot long flag pole. To date, the assailant remains at large. Following the final whistle, Bilel Mohsni was cowardly attacked from behind by Motherwell player Lee Erwin, and reacted to this assault in a manner not consistent of that of a Rangers player. It is probably best that Mohsni’s contract at Ibrox is up as he will have been a targeted man, with Rangers-hating rag, The Daily Record, already leading the vitriolic campaign to have him punished. Real Rangers fans do not buy “The Record” despite one of our Board members describing it as "courageous". Erwin, despite making light of the events on Twitter, should find himself up in front of the football beaks, and will be very fortunate to escape punishment from the law of the land as Police Scotland have stated they are investigating the incident. A number of other Motherwell players identified on TV indulging in violent behaviour towards Mohsni will also be fortunate to escape Police and SPL censure. Hundreds of snarling Motherwell supporters invaded the pitch, not to celebrate their teams’ victory but to goad and provoke the 1500 or so Rangers fans who were behaving impeccably in the away end. The question should be asked why the majority of Match Day Stewards and Police Officers were deployed in front of the travelling support, when clearly throughout the game it was the Motherwell support that had been indulging in unacceptable behaviour and seemed hell-bent on keeping that going. We also express our disappointment but not surprise at the weak statement issued by Rangers FC regarding this matter and hope that we are not returning to the bad old days of dignified silence when it comes to defending the club and its fans from those who find it easy to hate." Was the flag wielding thug with the three foot long pole ever found? Or is he still at large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well91 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Your mob are certainly on a roll but we're looking better than we did earlier in the season. Dorrans in midfield and whoever marks Moult will be key to this. Sorry bud. But if you think marking Louis will take care of the game your in for a bit of a shock. Louis has been far from our best player in our resent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not watched you much but will happily accept your word. We're still brittle in defence and, for sure, Mr Moult is the type of player to cause us problems.

dezz Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Sorry bud. But if you think marking Louis will take care of the game your in for a bit of a shock. Louis has been far from our best player in our resent games. A good stat to highlight this, and show how much of a different proposition we are compared to last season, is that we've had 10 different goalscorers already this season.Last year I'm sure Marvin Johnson was our 3rd/4th top scorer for the majority of the season despite leaving in August. Basically, if you stopped Moult and Mcdonald last year most likely we didn't score. As said above, Moult hasn't been our best player this season and stopping Motherwell by stopping Moult isn't the case anymore. Bowman, Cadden, Rose, Tanner, Bigi, Frear, Tait and Hartley have all proven they're capable of chipping in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 There's a guy near me in the east stand that screams KIPRE whenever the ball goes into the opposition box. Not even for corners, like, pretty sure he's done it for a Bowman one on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well91 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Think the park might be a bit cut up on Sunday. Forecast during the first semi tomorrow is plenty rain. No way should there be 2 games in 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been a scumfest final for 6 seasons and only been 4 this century. It's really not that common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
