Polly's finest hour 😎

I seem to remember eyebrows being raised last year by some folk wondering why Motherwell were signing Polworth when they thought he wasn't good enough to be in our starting line up. Some players just need better players around them to show what they are capable of. Polworth would see the clever ball into space but far too often those around him just weren't on the same wavelength. This season he has been a major reason for Motherwell's good performance in the Premiership. I think White is also an intelligent player and his problem has been that he makes the runs into the space where the midfielders should be playing the ball but all too often, don't. I can see Polworth and White combining pretty well. Despite the frustrations and un-called for criticism from some of the fans, big Jordan always gave 100%. I'll be sorry to see him go but wish him the good fortune he deserves.

This lockdown and a rainy day had me having a rummage around in loft yesterday. Unfortunately there was nothing up there that would be of interest to Flog It or the Antiques Roadshow but I did come across a gem....it's a VHS Tape recording of almost the entire 2003-04 season involving just ICT games. The games were recorded off the box by Uncle Albert who painstakingly put it together week in week for Gringo Junior. Also in the loft were a couple of VHS Recorders/Players which, after a good dusting and clean, actually work. I have software now that can convert this VHS to a DVD or MP4 format. The footage, if I recall, does have a couple of games missing probably due to no highlights being broadcast at the time. Of course, when Uncle Albert started recording this he had no idea he was starting to compile a record of our title winning season. I'm going to enjoy watching this.

I have nothing on tape from 2002/03. The VCR I have is the only footage I have from this era. Sorry.

Got plenty 2002-3 you can have Brian. Maybe other stuff too. Will PM you.

Oh yes.That Kilmarnock goal. I was in the wings of the main stand that day and had a brilliant view of it. Couldnt believe it not being given. And Barry.......what a strike;what a player.....happy days

Many thanks. I hope to get going with the conversion before the end of the week. Will be in touch if required.

Give me a shout if you want me to upload them to Youtube!

Perhaps, for once, I am looking at things from a "worried" perspective. As far as I am concerned I just want to attend a live game and watch ICT play again. This time is all about survival and I can see a number of teams collapsing. I couldn't give a feck who is in the team or who is on the bench.

Loved watching the old videos and seeing a young Red Card channel is inner Maradona was something else
