Rascal Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 13 hours ago, Albanian Buddy said: So I assume you are the one recovering from your second hip replacement. If you don’t mind me asking how long ago was your surgery and what stage are you in your rehab? Is it advisable to be going into a football stadium with stairs and boisterous fans jumping around and bumping into you? If you can’t currently travel by public transport perhaps you might be better to stay at home and get yourself fit for Hampden! Thanks for your advice. My rehab is going well. I’ve never travelled by public transport to a game. By the time of the match I will be around 4 weeks in and walking an average of 4,000 steps a day and carrying out physio exercises 4 times a day. I take a cushion with me and our season ticket seats are over a vomitory exit with a rail affixed in front. Normally my two 6ft 4inch sons are with me. I enter early from the car park into the west stand and leave late. The stairs have no handrails so avoid any crush there. Stewards on the gates have been great at letting me in without going through the turnstile and other fans have been marvellous in making sure I have had space. All in all - good for the body and the mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 My pet hate playing Motherwell is their embarrassing "wee hard men" schoolboy section. More annoying is the fact that Motherwell FC actively encourage these mini-morons to congregate together to create the public nuisance. On their Official Club website they are encouragong them to buy tickets for the "singing section" N1 (well actually they say "signing section" but I reckon we know what they mean).

I'm all for encouraging ultras and creating a good atmosphere, but I agree that there's no need for the hard man routine. I suppose I could be a bit of a dickheid when I was young, though.

Our Ultras are jus as bad and though, not openly, our club won't want to discourage their "enthusiasm", within the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 See that O'Hara will be missing for Motherwell and Aberdeen, real chance for Baccus and Boyd-Munce to show what they've got on the assumption that Robinson sticks with Gogic at CH.

I would like to see Gogic in that midfield role but I'm not convinced Bolton is a secure CH. FWIW, I think Robinson will put Gogic at the heart of the defence.

belfast billy Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 My son lives in Gosport and is a Portsmouth season ticket holder. Whenever I was down there I’d go watch Pompey. I was always impressed with Bolton. Good all round defensive player. Can play CH or FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pondsman Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Was feeling confident about this game until I saw Motherwell's new guy, Biereth, on Sportscene on Sunday. On loan from Arsenal, big strong lad playing up front, scored a fine goal at the weekend and will need to be kept quiet by our defence. Today I hear that O'Hara is ruled out for this game and another two as well, so not feeling nearly so confident now. Still, as always..... COYS!!

faraway saint Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Since we're at home I'm sticking to a victory although it'll be tight. Any sort of win and Hampden is a step closer, with the financial rewards that come with it. 2-1 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 A cup run would be tremendous but, without O'Hara, I just feel Robinson doesn't have a replacement due to what looks like a bad decision on Central defence recruitment. As usual I hope I'm wrong and Bolton comes in and plays his part. I think we really need Gogic in midfield ATM. Still. From what little I've seen of the rest, Saints shouldn't fear any team in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the pelters Richard Taylor was getting when he first arrived, not to mention Olusanya, I think the manager knows what he is getting and how to improve them so it may take a bit but Bolton will hopefully follow the same path.
