All Activity

I was usually asleep 20 seconds after the start of his interviews and waking to catch the last 20 seconds after an 8 eight hour sleep. Boring self indulgent bastard.

If it was an illness, I would very much agree. That said, by divulging injuries and keeping illness confidential, you would effectively highlight a player with an illness, so it brings you back to the same place......

I think that nature of the injury and timeframe for return is very much confidential information, but as you say, it could be equally likely we don't want to let opponents know who is available any given week.

If there is opposition managers will be all over it

The club were ok at giving injury updates when Kettlewell was here. Pretty sure he used to give updates in his interviews.

Ive had a look on the club website and I dont see anywhere that this information is listed. Its been a frustration for sometime and not something we have been very good at since Flow left. I get that some of it is private medical information and thats down to the player themselves, but I dont think it would be breaching any confidences to state the basic nature of the injury and timeframe for return. Of course it could be down to managers not wanting to give opponents too much information in a bid to keep them guessing. From what little I know or can glean from other sources the list looks like this.... Robinson - Achilles - October Stuparevic - Knee - Long term Nicholson - knee - unknown Sule - unknown - unknown Sparrow - muscle - unknown McGhee - thigh - unknown McGinn - unknown - unknown Stamatelopoulos - shoulder - unknown Slattery - unknown - 5/6 weeks Hendry - unknown - unknown For a club our size, thats a lot to contend with......

I believe not. Someone posted a link on pie and bov but no idea how accurate it is

Sorry, didn’t know where to ask this question. Is there an injury list available anywhere showing what players are out, what the injury is and target date to have them available for selection again?

Not sure what the current situation is, but for a while the English clubs were ignoring the rules in place because the TV money they received for the live games far outweighed the small fines they had to pay for the breach.

Looking at the Premier Sports Cup payments and both clubs get £30k for a televised quater final on top of £100k prize money. Not to be sniffed at. And thats before our share of the gate money. Cup runs ARE important for clubs our size.

Are they not showing live EPL games? I think Clubs should be able to stream games at 3pm. Would be an extra revenue and don't think it would impact gates all that much. Don't think the TV highlights programmes would be impacted that much either.

I'm sure that embargo has been lifted - positive Iread it somewhere.

Yeh, it was suppose to be Premier Player only (streaming) then they changed it today to be on Premier Sports 2 liner channel. Not sure Aberdeen v Motherwell on TV will stop other fans going to their teams games, but it is a risk.

Seems to be a late add on. Read elsewhere it was gonna be on Premier Sports 2. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/09/16/quarter-final-tie-to-be-shown-live-on-premier-sports/

I'm guessing it's being shown live online rather than on a channel but I could be wrong...

Presumably Premier Sports requested it in their contract and they got what they wanted. Certainly games from previous rounds were on simultaneously, albeit they were being streamed rather than broadcast live. Not gonna lie. It made my decision not to go to Pittodrie much easier after the shit experience we had up there last time in the league.

No idea. The official site just said that it was a last minute decision by Premier Sports

Anyone know why this is allowed given the 3pm Saturday TV blackout?

Game is being shown live on Premier Sports. We sold out our initial allocation but still tickets left

Spot on!

According to Killie fans they had five players missing on Sunday. Some of the players we are missing are long term injuries as well. My frustration right now is that the club don't seem to be communicating to the fans about injuries. They used to. For example Slattery - he took a knock a few weeks ago and there's been very little said since. I do get that the manager can only tell fans what he knows but there have been little updates on any of our injuries lately.

I also think a lot of our fans can't remember us being in this position where every game we are dominating. It's impossible to dominate for 90 mins though and due to this other teams are exploiting our weaknesses. However I for 1 am loving it and have no doubt we will come good. Remember when Alexander was winning and no one could see how as we were terrible but when our luck ran out we went to hell. Our luck this time hasn't started imo so only upside to come

The early start in the League Cup certainly doesn't help as it interrupts the coaches' ability to put together a progressive training plan. I have heard various managers say that nowadays, their team doesn't get fully match fit until 2 or 3 months into the season.

I think its just load. The game is getting quicker and the close season is getting shorter. Our teams used to finish mid May and start back mid August. Now they finish the end of May and are back playing League Cup mid July. I know players live very different lifestyles now, but their bodies must still need some rest and recuperation. Im sure JBA said as much in a recent presser.

I Suspect every club in the country has the same issue Dave but nobody evers hears about it. Football is a contact sport so players will pick up injuries whether during a game or training or even playing with their kids on their days off, and the teams with the smaller squads will be impacted the most,. So for me there is nothing to see here, no conspiracy, dodgy training methods etc its the result of engaging in a contact sport.
