For anyone else as stadium geeky as me, here's a well rounded video on the new Roma proposal (same colour adjacent). You'll see they're onto their second draft and its been held up with archeological and residents issues over a green space/park. They've used the Populos Architecture firm (they seem to a monopoly of the big stadium projects as it's their specialty). Also, ignore the price tag, this isn't look at what we can have type post. Probably more pertinent since the on field performance is something often invoked by Jens, Bodo-Glimt are financing a new £90-100m stadium. It seems to be a campus, 10k capacity. However I'd caveat it with, due to their sovereign wealth fund, central government has a lot of cash. Second the cost of living is roughly double to here or it was when I was there extensively in 2016-19 with work. There's also extra complexity and demands constructing and surviving in such a climate. It's a city of 55,000 and I'm surprised they didn't go for a larger capacity however they also don't have two teams within 15 miles that's support can fill 60k stadia.

Viewpark...but aye, I forgot about him

Alex Lowry is from Uddingston.

There must be a wee gem somewhere

Hopefully. I'm not sure how much training he's been able to do, but even a 30 minute appearance could be a big help.

We can't afford the good ones.

I'd like to see us sign a Scottish boy or two

Maybe brought on as a second half sub to keep HB on their toes?

Gaffer saying JT is back in the squad for this game. Not as a starter, and "with protection" for his jaw.

Unfortunately, I don't think the US channels that cover the Euro competitions bother with the 2nd qualification rounds. Probably because there are about 428 of them. I don't see any alternative options listed, although somtimes they appear nearer the time.

With premier sports carrying the game is there any chance that it will be on Motherwell TV or on a TV channel in the states?

Sorry, just trying to work out how Grealish gets a mention here.

I've probably mentioned this before but when I was a teenager Stevie Kirk used to come into our local chippie at lunch time and get a big bag of fritters! Obviously on his way home from training. Dunno if Tommy knew! 🤣

Good point. With a fit McGinn, SOD, Koutroumbis & McGhee, we probably dont really need another CB. But right now with all 4 injured, we definitely do. Hopefully we can get another midfielder and a striker in soon.....

I think the injuries will be a reason we have got a few loanees in.

Good to see Jamie coming in, looks a good addition but tbh I’m disappointed that we appear to be going down the loan route, destroys our operating model a bit. Thats our goalkeeper n new CH on loan, I’d have thought we would have been looking for those unearthed gems. Hoping to see a new attacking midfielder n a striker or two being rolled out very soon, perhaps Mas staying with us?

Eythor, if he is injured and all the forum speculation to the contrary is just that, deserves time once the season properly gets underway. He looks like the type of player who could do well in AJ’s system.

Are we only signing players with double-barreled surnames? Magic.......cant wait to get Ben Gannon-doak on loan 🤣🤣

Aye looks like he signed a new 3yr deal with Bristol in April. Has 60 senior appearances under his belt though for Crewe and Swindon. Certainly fits our demographic apart from the loan bit.

I would think he has every right to look pissed off if he was injured and then not up to speed for the teams first European game. Surely he would be in the squad if fit. Lots of supossing going on here I think.

Were you staring at him for 90 .minutes?

I thought thor looked ok , hes not a proper run yet...no basis at all to say whether AJ fancies him or not.

He's a Canadian centre back.

???

Jamie Knight-Lebel... Apparently If true would imagine its just a loan
