OSB out on Saturday

Last updated : 06 August 2002 By Matt Johnstone

One Step Beyond launches it's strategy to take over the world for the greater good of the people of Dosserdom, or at least provide a decent income to ensure it's survival. Everyone's favourite Motherwell fanzine named after a Madness song - ever, is back for the first home game of the new season and no stone is left unturned in the search for global domination.



Fans rush to buy OSB!
First came the launch of www.dosserdom.com in June, a website guaranteed to send you scurrying back to your favourites box in the search for something more interesting. Now comes the first issue of the fanzine for this season, closely followed by the re-launch of The Mighty Dossers T-shirt Co. A proposed range of colourful additions to your Motherwelly wardrobe available through the website or the normal snail mail channels (Of course you can just see Mj at the game but it doesn't sound as good) Shameful plugging will continue throughout this text just in case you forget about it.

A bumper 52 page issue awaits the few hundred hardy souls who stay loyal to the OSB mantra, nothing much changes, there's still the usual hysterical over-reactions to anything derogatory about the 'Well, still the usual hysterical over-reactions to anything positive about the 'Well, and still the usual hysterical over-reaction to whatever's topical in this great game of ours. If only the jokes were hysterical we might find some more readers but there you go.

This was a pretty easy compilation to compile, the club's situation took care of any worries about lack of material but we have our typical off-topic OSB slant in place so don't come looking for answers to the club's griefs. Take a rest from the normal woes of following the Dossers and wallow in the silliness of a 4 line Berti Vogts interview and photo, the absolute irrelevance of a rival GLF ed's prize winning letter to Scottish Footballer in 1990 and the slightly unwarranted inclusion of an error ridden team list from a friendly against Sheff. Utd in 1982.

As a package it knits together nicely even if the individual niceties can be somewhat irrational at times......what am I talking about? Why am I still typing at this time of night? Get to Fir Park, read the book, buy the T-shirt, wear it while you're surfing, and remember, it's a far better thing that I do now than what I did yesterday (or something like that.)
