I said the Ultras moving after the first game had affected the atmosphere, they are too far away from those who would join in. Motherwell were blown away as Celtic racked up four first-half goals and a further four in the second half to clinch a dominant victory at K-Park. Apart from the period after Rangers scored they drowned out the usual utter garb that spews from the away end. When Jake Carroll broke down in training and it was confirmed he was going to miss a significant portion of the season, and with Nathan McGinley still recovering from his operation, we knew we were going to have to bring someone in.

The advantage of having your own personalised drum is not just in the striking, colourful impact it makes – the drum is actually stronger and more resistant because it has a second metal sheet on which your chosen colours are applied.The players were gifted an ice-machine which will help them treat minor injuries and cool off after training at their Braidhurst High School campus.

Two minutes later it was almost a carbon copy as Spittal’s low pass again sent both van Veen and Mayo racing towards the home goal but this time the defender guided the ball safely back to his ‘keeper. They have no great grounding in the Scottish football of the ancient past nor are they hugely interested. The experience last night was a shocker (and that was on iFollow) and whilst not wishing repetitive strain injury upon anybody.SV Austria Salzburg's under 7s had very vocal support during their game against USV Lamprechthausen as 1,300 supporters turned up in support of SV Austria Salzburg. Didn’t help why come much did it, was like some one had given High Wycombes village idiot an early Christmas present of a drum in the morning and he just randomly hit it. I understand all the policing issues but your point about Dingwall is a good example for a bad experience but St Johnstone is an example of a good one because they open the second stand to us. Paul McGinn then used the slippy surface, sliding across to guide the ball away from Oli Shaw as the Killie striker raced into the box. Despite that narrow escape the Motherwell players probably thought that their first half display earned them the right to hold a one goal lead as the teams headed up the tunnel at the interval.

The Motherwell boss insists his side are taking it one game at a time and are by no means getting ahead of themselves. Ultras in Scotland are an embarrassment compared to the rest of Europe and that's even coming from a celtic fan who's says their green brigade were nothing compared to the lazio ultras. Motherwell boss, Paul Brownlie was sent to the stands in the immediate aftermath after being shown a straight red card for questioning the referee’s decision to allow the goal despite Larisey netting from an offside position. I reckon most are feeling like it's a bit of a chore at the minute, rather than actually looking forward to it.They are having a fun time in their tiny wee posse, but its not enough people to generate an atmosphere and they sing their own generic songs that older generations dont idenitfy with. They didn't adapt to get behind the song that was building and instead effectively fought against it. This under 16s rule (whatever it is about) is certainly not helping matters and I do think it’s about time the club made a clear statement in the public domain that they want all ages and groups of supporters to get themselves to Holker St, as long as they behave in a reasonable manner!

Suggest we test this theory further by asking Barrow Aberdeen to start using a set of bagpipes during key moments in future games. Back in the day at most away games the boys moved into the ground, stood behind the goals and started singing. Even in there best ever league season they are still tin pot, from the football they play to the fans.Three generations of supporting Saints connected the grandfather to his 15-year-old grandson, and the idea that his young and passionate generation might fade away is exactly the outcome St Johnstone could not afford. They have grown up in Europe before Brexit, and can go online and join away-day web forums that feature bewildering clips of Italian ultras arriving in Rome like a hedonistic army, billowed in smoke, enlightened by fluorescent flares and carrying banners bigger than Caesar’s legions. As the Killie defender relaxed thinking his ‘keeper was collecting the ball, ‘Well’s Dutch striker stuck in a foot to stab the ball past Walker and claim his fourth goal of the season. Any genuine spontaneous singing in support of the team is now instantly drowned out by that orchestrated megaphone monotony.
