I don't deny being 'glass half empty' when it comes to Motherwell, just experience has taught me to expect the worse whilst hoping for the best and that way of thinking certainly worked well for me yesterday.

I often post negative predictions - not comments as I'm sure you would see if you actually read my posts properly - for games as I've been a Motherwell fan long enough to know the score, as it were.

What I will say to you and the permaraging neillyboy is that at least I can say that I come on here week in week out, make my predictions and give my reasons for doing so and if after the event and it turns out I was wrong, I always come on here and admit it and congratulate the team and give credit where it's due. In your case you appear to say nothing on these boards from one month's end to the next, you only pop up now and again to attempt some snide attempt at a smart @rsed dig at posters who have nailed their colours to the mast with predictions but were proved wrong ultimately. It's very easy to be wise after the event but I at least have the courage of my convictions.

Neillyboy on the other hand appears every so often to make a bold prediction of us winning but without giving any reason or explanation for his thoughts. Nothing wrong with that of course but when he is proved correct he resorts to petty personal abuse just because someone or others didn't share his views before the match had actually happened.

As for "blowing like the wind" I assume you mean I am inconsistent in my views here? Well if that's how you see it that's up to you, I though think I am fairly if not always consistent, unlike yourself who can't even be consistent in the one sentence. "You blow like the wind and ever the pessimist". A bit of a contradiction there is it not?
