    Just to say I don't care !!!!!!!

    My mate is a Motherwell supporter who was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, and was told last month it was terminal. To have shared the joy of a 6-6 game between us, was worth more than any Hibs or Motherwell win that we have ribbed each other about over the years. Alistair, it has been a privilege to call you my friend, and I hope we both qualify for Europe next season.

    Sorry to hear about your friend and no, football isn't more important than life or death Mr Shankly Some folks would do well to realise this

    A much needed dose of realism. All the very best to you and your pal and yes, you will remember tonight fondly and rightly so.
    It is, when all said and done, only a game.
    Thank you for the perspective!

    Sorry to hear, makes the result a wee bit nicer knowing that it puts a smile on the face of someone who really needs the cheer more than any of us.

    Don't know you Alistair but you sound like a good guy and a big football fan. All the best to you pal
    This is how it feels

    Thanks for the replies, I have directed him to our site; whether he reads it or not who can say ? He is a stubborn old sod who thinks the game started when Colin O'Neill scored in the Scottish Cup Semi against Celtic in 1991 !!!! Again thanks for your thoughts.
