Solidsport stream showing a 2-3-5 formation 😅 ...Now changed it to 4-3-3

What is FS?

Game on FS - listed under cork city game though and not under motherwell tv

Solid sport stream looks light and good. Easy sign up (free) and simple to buy the stream for this game. No messing around with lots of crap etc like you get on dodgy streams.

Nerves !!!

For me its 'what did we get from that signing'...in Cooper we got a world class player, who loved being here, helped won us a cup, helped drive up standards. In Just we got a huge return on profit

I'm doing likewise. I noticed the Hibs game earlier (shown on the Solid Sports platform) was on my stick - not on Hibs TV, was in the "UK | Live Football" section, and also listed incorrectly as Bristol City game....so fingers crossed our game appears too

Best signings for me are Cooper and Bobby Russell - bringing class and guile to FP. There's a long list of very good players over the ages and could create a full team from Randolph all the way through to Coyne and Coyle but in my time watching the club I couldn't believe how good these guys were. Just was brilliant last year but these are my all time favourites.

All the new lads in. Longelo bench. I would think williams left mid in front of Wilson. Let's get behind the lads, positive attitude

I think so. From what I read about them, their business model is to act as a platform for globally distributing smaller clubs video streams.

Trousers then 🤣🤣🤣

There are plenty of counter examples to that, but that's not really the point. I vistied Wrigley Field last year, and they did a fantastic job refurbishing their classic building to keep its character, but bring it into the 21st century. However, as I said, I'm in favour of a new build, but there are legitimate concerns about its design. I honestly can't think of any Scottish team that has moved stadiums (stadia?) in the past 20 or 30 years where I was impressed with the new one. Forest Green Rover's plan for "Eco Park" is quite an attractive proposition, but that is budgeted at 100 million. I also have less faith in the local authorities or government in providing the necessary levels of support it may need. I do have faith in the current board to make good decisions, but any new build still carries mutliple risks, and mitigating those risks can lead to compromises we might not like.

Booth starts, as does Wilson. Sparrow has the captains armband Charles-Cooke on the bench

As rod stewart sang,"hot legs"if youve got it,flaunt it.

Selection dilemma for tonight, do I wear shorts or troosers? 🤣🤣

Would be nice if we could score Scotland's first European competition goal tonight.....

I really don’t get why anyone defaults to think that if we do move we’ll endeavour to build the single worst thing we can devoid of any merit or atmosphere. I’ve only ever see St Mirren but our sloppy seconds than the other way round. I think to convince people it’s more about human nature. I’m often drawn to something I studied while at uni. The Golden Gate Bridge was initially opposed be literally everyone. Today it’s inconceivable to imagine San Francisco without it and it’s universally loved as a cultural icon. Groups: U.S. War Department Feared the bridge would obstruct military operations or, if destroyed in war, block the entrance to San Francisco Bay. Shipping companies Thought it would interfere with navigation and large ships entering the harbour. Southern Pacific / Golden Gate Ferries Didn’t want to lose their profitable ferry monopoly. Sierra Club and conservationists Argued it would scar the natural landscape and damage the environment. Taxpayer groups Believed it was far too expensive and financially reckless, especially during the Depression. Board of Supervisors and civic leaders Worried about debt, toll revenue and political risk. Engineers Claimed it couldn’t survive the currents, winds and fog. Strauss’ original design was mocked as an “upside-down rat trap.” Residents and preservationists Felt it would ruin the beauty and character of the Golden Gate and Marin Headlands.

I can see Just going further than Swansea. The only place I see Watt going, though, is back to Scotland once the Turks either stop paying his wages or decide to tear up his contract.

We paid a fee for Just and he's actually a good player. We didn't pay a fee for Theo Bair, he wasn't a good player and we still sold him for a couple of million inside 12 months. So if flipping players makes the best ever signing Theo Bair is king. In all seriousness, of course, Davie Cooper is our greatest signing in the modern era. He revolutionised the club and its history.

You’ve already got it. They’re being vindictive because we had the sense to call a spade a spade and point out their incompetence and apparent corruption.

I’d say you have to judge our greatest signings in the context of each generation, and the financial and playing landscape at the time. If you do that, I think you can easily make a case for both Cooper and Just being on an exclusive list. But then what are the criteria? Greatest signing in terms of financial return, or what they delivered on the pitch in helping us win something or otherwise? That’s why I don’t think there’s one definitive answer. There are probably a few names that belong on the list.

Aye probably said it better than I could

The constraints of the current Fir Park site are plain to see. But with the principle of development for a football stadium already established there, nobody will ever convince me there isn’t a viable proposal that responds to those constraints in a creative yet pragmatic way. Whether that’s a complete demolition and redevelopment or a phased approach of continually replacing and upgrading the stadium bit by bit, I’d take either of those over relocating to an identikit plastic shithole on a soulless brownfield site on the edge of town. Every realistic option at Fir Park has to be exhausted, and sensible compromises made where necessary, before we consider something as drastic as leaving our home for Ravenscraig.

Everyone is funnelled into a 4m wide gate to leave. Theres no scope for any ancillary sales or expansion. The space under us can’t be used. It is limited for disabled access and its roof will need replaced soon. Due to the curve of Knowetop Avenue it cuts the corner off the Cooper (it’s stepped in) the. If massive wall has to be maintained, we looked to demolish it 15 years ago and told no. WS looking at funding a lift. The Cooper bar is a particularly uninspiring space. The POD has a very narrow footprint, the width of the centenary interrupted by columns define it. Upstairs rooms such as the 91 suite can effectively fit 12 chairs abreast with an access corridor down the middle. boardroom Even smaller. above the sponsors lounge is now taken over by the media team I understand. None of these facilities are enough or fitting for a club looking to close its operational funding gap.

Come in no.4.........yer times up!! 🤣
