W6er Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Personally, I'm not overly bothered about the stickers. However, damaging seats is bampot behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M’Well will be billed for the damage/clean up so the fans are just costing their own club money There was a much larger police presence at the game than normal Edited December 17, 2023 by HSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigYardsAndBasher Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 I've never particularly liked Motherwell as a club and set of supporters. This "Block E" mob come across as aggressive wee tadgers. The pyros make look bright and "cool" to some people but I can live without them. People with asthma can be affected by them and the chemicals that are in them are getting released into the atmosphere. I think a lot of people forgot how to behave during the covid lockdowns and we're seeing a lot more "tadgery" behaviour than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6er Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 I left the ground thinking the Well fans were a credit to their club. They sang the whole game and really backed their team. There's nothing wrong with being passionate. I wonder whether a safer alternative to the flares could be found, like glow sticks? Vandalism and physical aggression is where the line is crossed. That is clearly unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was obviously including the Buddies in his criticism since we just played Ross County last week.

Adams is legendary for not accepting his share of the responsibility. The fact that’s he’s returned for a third stint is self explanatory. Robbo wasn’t grumbling about the concession of a late goal in Dingly Dell a couple of weeks ago. That’s football ⚽️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 14 hours ago, W6er said: Utter nonsense. We have five internationals. I know Baccus played at Wembley against England and also played against Argentina in the World Cup, where he acquitted himself well. How many English 4th tier teams can say that? My post or Adams' comments? I was only quoting what he said on camera but I don't agree with what he was saying - probably in the heat of the moment. However, because of the resources disparity between clubs in Scotland, most games are set up with the 'poorer' club 'keeping their shape' and making themselves difficult to beat. There are 5 or 6 clubs who are considerably better off than the rest and the result is most games are one-sided and relatively boring to watch. The emphasis at most Scottish clubs is on defence and holding the midfield. It is only when these same 5 or 6 clubs play in Europe that they get found out because often the boot is on the other foot and the opposing teams are actually primed to playing attacking football, without necessarily leaving themselves open at the back. After all, when was the last time Scotland produced an international class forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen his comments on Sportscene yet, But what a statement to make about Scottish Football when 7 of his starting 11 and 2 of his 3 subs.. come from that tier of English football... hopefully someone pointed that out to him Wouldn't it be great if he meets a true Scottish team in Raith Rovers with 10 outfield Scottish players and a Polish Goalkeeper and his team get their arse kicked in fact the Scottish cup would be even better as I hope Raith win the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
