The Lotw Diary Thursday
Must have been like the trenches in the 1st world war for the hoops players and management over the last few weeks. A constant bombardment of abuse from meeja, fans, keyboard hardmen and phone in love jockeys. The staff at CP must feel shell shocked and wondering when it will be safe to make their advance across the green fields of France for the final assault.
Unlike the 1st world war oor two general have popped their heids into the line of fire to take umbridge wie the bullets being fired and also to snipe back at questions being asked of their leadership. It was a two-pronged ginger attack as Lenny and GS came oot fighting.
The Evening times was GS vehicle of choice as he defended the tactics of his midfield formation against Dundee Hibs and the Well. Said he thinks when we play against a 5-man midfield we leave to many gaps that world-class players like Barry Robson can exploit. It’s Barry Robson and how many world class players have Motherwell got? Should an extra man make any difference? Is Gs showing a little lack of faith in the ability of his troops and mair worryingly his own signings.
He also defended his decision to drop Tommy G from the team adding that the boo bhoys were shouting for him to be dropped when he was running around like a 3 year old on blue smarties and tizer.
It disnny look guid for the gravedigger. Feel him and his bulging packet will be off doon the promised premiership no mans land after a frustrating season in the hoops. Not following instructions seems to be the just of GS’s beef wie the baldy Dane. Maybe we should try a 5-man midfield wie the gravedigger as the most advanced before making rash decisions. The gravedigger is a creator, a conductor of the creative in the middle of the park. A free role could be the answer for the problem that is Tommy G.
If he fails to shine there then I’ll drive him to Sunderland.
Lenny came oot defending his bottle throwing incident wie the tube in the main stand. Lenny quoted stats unbeaten at home in 18 months, unbeaten in 28 league games and he berates the fans for expecting champagne fitbaw every week wie an inexperienced side. He also stated he won’t be the auld fart hanging around waving the bhoys of on adventures while he picks up his wages. Slight go at Boyd and Lambert maybe?
Thing is if he gets offered another deal then that’s exactly the type of situation he will find himself in. The CIS cup playing veteran showing the young un’s and fringe bodies his medals while going on aboot the guid auld days when St Martin was his general and he widnae force the bhoys over the top and paid them handsomely.
Whether you agree or disagree wie what has been said both have shown character by speaking oot. I have been their biggest critic over the last few weeks but the baws and honesty both have shown in a measured and an articulate way has impressed me. Shown a bit of character…must be a ginger thing.

blogger problems
I had accidently found your blog of 21/01/07 after the five goals against St Mirren. The big players were JVoH, Beats and Gravesen. How we are influenced by recent events.
Two of these players are now useless! :-)
Okay, Lennon defends his reason for an argument with an irate fan. I think that the last time to involve yourself in an argument is when someone is irate, so they say in my anger management classes :-)
The manager hits out at the fickleness of supporters, well we see a team that isn`t functioning and Riordan and Gravesen underused. What do you expect?
I remember seeing the R*ngers legend Jim Baxter when he returned from England in 1969. He would push through by the strikers on a regular basis, just like Gravesen. Maybe we should revive the 3-5-2 formation for some games. I think that Lennon thrived with two others in the centre. The players are available to go back to that system.
The CL semi finals look very exciting. I wonder if Liverpool can do it again and Man U v Milan will be tasty! Logic says Chelsea v Man U but Milan have world class players who can produce something special. They may have to!
I remember from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Act 1 Scene 1,
`The people are fickle.`
Says it all! :-)
I wonder how Romans feel about the AS Roma players today compared with the start of the week.
Up for the cup!
Big game tomorrow and losing would not be nice.
Zurawski is out for another few(?) weeks and I`m not sure if Jarosik is available again.
Apart from that, we are Celtic! Let`s go!
mon the disco deek...you and van are the men....
