There's your Martin Moorman announced. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2026/07/03/welcoming-martin-moormann-to-ml1/

Don't usually have much of an opinion on our shirts as I'm never going to be buying another one anyway, but all the sleeve logos make this one of the ugliest ones I can remember.

Facial injury apparently, staying behind for further assessment.

Maswanhise not travelling to Denmark, I see... EDIT: Ah, never mind, he got skelped in the face and is having his injury assessed.

I'd be surprised if Accies even last another two years.

From the WhatsApps this morning: Match details confirmed ✅ We will face Havnar Bóltfelag at Fir Park for the first leg of our UEFA Conference League tie before travelling to Tórsvøllur for the second leg. All ticket information will be confirmed and published in due course. https://bit.ly/4uVEON7

In the eating. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

And there's the official announcement on the WhatsApps.

Now that we're rolling in money I wouldn't be surprised if the club charters something for fans as well as themselves, presumably not at the cheaper end of people's budgets though.

You're not, that's also what the club posted on the 'fishul WhatsApp this morning.

Sounds like he'd burn us to the ground a long time before that.

He is.

I trust anything AI says about as much as anything the Daily Record says.

Quite. With the majority of last season's team still available, they should almost be able to go out on the park and give us a half-decent performance without any managerial input at all.

Might as well just promote Eythor.

Seeded for me. Fun as a glamour tie would be, I'm more interested to see how this team fares against the sort of opposition that usually paps us out of Europe at a canter first.

I'm not even sure if he is,, really. He just plays fitba' the way a lot of European teams play fitba', and that Scottish teams very much don't. Which hopefully bodes well for finding his replacement.

In principle, it's probably not that unreasonable. You're not going to get arrested for running onto the stage at a gig or a play, just chucked out by security and banned from the venue. But if you lamp somebody in the process, you're going to get arrested. That said, although it's not specifically an offence in Scotland, I'm surprised a pitch incursion can't just be considered a breach of the peace, or some other nebulous public order charge.

Ok, so that's already different from the original "Any supporter entering the park" proposal. Now somebody has to count them as well. Just ask the folk who were having issues trying to buy tickets for the past couple of games how annoying the whole "check their buying history" thing went (and how many folk were still spotted in the wrong end despite the checks). And you'd want every team to do that for every game, even when the ground's only half full? If not, does the 10 person pitch invasion rule still apply to those ones? Etc.

And there's yer Lukas Fadinger signed a 12 month extension.

If only it were that easy. But you'd soon get neds infiltrating other teams' support just to run onto the pitch to get them an automatic points deduction, so then you'd need another level of bureaucracy to stop them getting in or investigating their allegiances afterwards, and the whole thing becomes unworkable again.

Now just annoyed that Falkirk lost all but one of their post-split games.

On the replay, looked like Just had put his arm round the keeper's waist as the ball was coming in. Didn't appear to stop the keeper moving or jumping, but still a bit of a daft thing to do.

Not pretty, but job done.

Not any more, Celtic have just scored.
