I hope they start him. Id rather that then they bring him on at 0-0 with 15 minutes to go. Dont think my heart could stand the chaos! 😆

I assume that they'll have Moses available to this one. Hopefully he won't rediscover his goalcoring touch tomorrow.

No chance of getting a "good guy" when assessing that line up.

Should be interesting to see how it compares to the actual outcome. I’m a wee bit surprised to see 54% chance of us winning, based on reading that they haven’t lost a home euro game in 5 years but then, a lot of factors coukd be behind that and also behind victories against stronger teams. A team going there with a 3,4 or 5 goal lead are probably coasting thru the game and not playing a full strength team. So while you can run the numbers, there’s a lot of hidden factors. Hope your predictor is correct and we can get thru to the next round. Hopefully you’ll keep us updated on your progress throughout the season.

He won't be able to rush anywhere because of his stauner

It may turn out to be a loooong season .

He'll still be recovering from one of his 'big teams' getting seen to last night.

That 3% chance is all it takes for MJC to go rushing to the bookies

To be known as the Craig Gordon rule.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly5gd9y0djo Slight tangent but saw this report yesterday and with all of those mugshots its like the worst game of Guess Who ever!! 1. "Do they have more than 5 teeth?'.........No 😁😁

I wouldn't build your hopes up...................🤪🤪

A sensible post , no panic , no puns , no old jokes and no crap jokes things are looking up . 🤔

I assume the plan is we pay higher wages to get a better class of player on loan rather than buy a lesser player on lower wages

I see they are trialing a new rule in England this season to try and prevent "tactical timeouts" where keepers go down with fake injures to disrupt momentum and allow tactical reshuffles. Unlike outfield players who were required to leave the field of play for 1 minute, there was no equivalent for the keepers, and so no consequence to the team. This season, if the game is stopped for a goalkeeper injury, the manager has to nominate an outfield player to leave the field immediately and remain off the field for at least 1 minute after the restart. I like the idea, but not sure if it will work in practice.

Yes, and selectively wrong at times. The funny thing was that when the subtitles on the vid came to Collum's name it appeared as Pierluigi Collina on my feed. As if!

If the loans work then brilliant but as folk have said it affects our model of selling players. Am hopeful that the loans are to assist with the injuries and possibly give some reassurance to the manager re size of the squad at this early stage but also maybe more confidence in playing the youngsters. Won’t know if these loanees are good though till they play. Hopefully adds to the quality without us having to pay wages etc beyond our means. If we do have 9 million I would hope that we are at least investing 2 million back in player signings

I've been building this GPT footy predictor thing and as it goes along, it builds more and more research into it's flow. here's what it says about Thursday 🙂 It's actual final prediction was 1:1 draw. Full analysis available if anyone wants to see it 🙂 My confidence: Outcome Probability Motherwell win on the night 54% Draw 27% HB Tórshavn win 19% Motherwell qualify 97% HB Tórshavn qualify 3%

We brought in 3 loanees last season. 2 of them didn't work out (Sule and Osong) and one did (Welsh). If that model plus the players we signed on permanent deals managed to bring us success, there's not much need to deviate too far this season. As others have said, we have some unexpected injury problems to deal with too, and loans can be a good way to fill the gaps - directly or indirectly - if the expectation is that the injured players will return in the first half of the season.

I can relate to that as I have been ripping the a**e out of some jokes for years 🤪🤪

Didnt know that hb had such a good home record in europe and have beaten/drawn against some decent teams,will be tough and need to avoid ab early goal against us,heres hoping.

Just more things for them to get spectacularly wrong....

When you have little confidence in those at the top, made worse by incidents like those in our final game against Celtic, these changes seem to be of the "fiddling while Rome burns" variety.

I'm with you on that. Loans do have their place, providing they're not overdone. We've now acquired 2 loan signings, maybe to cover short term injuries but I don't get the Paulsen one. We knew a wee bit in advance that Ward was likely to move on and so would likely have time to prepare. One more to cover a striker perhaps given the number of injuries/permacrocks in that department. Less so in defence and certainly not in midfield.

To be honest I don't think we will be going down that line again. We are just in situation just now due to various factors. 1. 6 players plus Welsh all left 2. 8 players out injured 3. Season started earlier due to European ties. We needed a keeper in quick so that explains Paulsen deal. Lowry one i can see being loan but with view to permanent move if he takes advantage of this opportunity for him. Hopefully a couple more permanent signings and injured players back will mean 3 max on loan

We have an ongoing injury problem at the club. Eating barb wire is only going to escalate the problem. They are football players, I guarantee some aren’t the brightest….. I fully expect At least one of them (Wilson) to be on the injury list having a ripped ar5ehole.
