Partly because Twitter are getting quite good at shutting down streams of sporting events that somebody else owns the right to. But mainly because they haven't implemented landscape mode streaming yet, and watching fitba' in portrait mode would be horrendous (The club actually did live stream a press conference or two on Periscope a while back.)

Given they have to negotiate the rights to broadcast audio or video of any SPFL games live, I suspect it probably is quite difficult, knowing the SPFL. But yes, it's disappointing, especially as the MFC TV website is still live, and still teasing us with the promise of "video streaming of selected matches in 2012/13"... albeit only for folk outside the UK & Ireland (thanks to those rights holders again), which, I'm guessing, just wasn't a big enough number of 'Well fans to be financially viable. On the other hand, can't say I really miss Mr Barnstaple screaming "c'mon referee!" in my ear every five minutes

Dunno that I could give you a number, but I'd be happy to wait until the first round of league fixtures is over and see where we are compared to everyone else. (In the old days, I'd probably have said 'after we've played everyone home and away', but with the split you can't really afford to wait that long.)

Other than the Junior membership, it's just the monthly contributions now, and you unlock the Steel, Claret, Amber etc. benefits when your total contributions reach that level.

1-2, in the end. "The 10-man Steelmen somehow lose despite dominating the game for large spells."

Can't see us scoring on current form. Would be more than happy with 0-0.

Indeed. Was visiting Northern Ireland this past weekend, and even had a random passing Wrexham fan clock my 'Well jacket and tell me what a great signing Louis Moult was going to be for us!

Excellent news, thanks.

If he's making public statements about being that unhappy, maybe they'll release him early by mutual consent...

Now adding a PayPal payment button to the site really *should* take about 20 minutes

For an individual or small business, that's probably true... but we've certainly been told in the past that payments to the Well Society are bound by more complex legal requirements than a simple cash exchange for goods or services, which is presumably part of the hold-up here.

By definition, he's no longer our second choice keeper. He may not be even if we do manage to bring in another "senior keeper".

Looks like it's only finding the old podcast feed... the new one is http://www.mfc1886.com/feed/podcast/

Not holding my breath, we're not really that sort of club. Would be lucky to see a wee blip if we signed Lionel Messi.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Not in the pudding.

Well, yes and no. I know we're not a charity, but given our associations with various community organisations, would also be nice to think we did what we could to help former players who've landed on hard times, especially one of the few still walking this earth who've helped to bring us a trophy. But that certainly doesn't extend to offering them jobs they're not qualified for!

I wonder if there'll ever come a day when I can hear anything about them without thinking "Who are they? Exackly!"

Because now he has a decent amount of first team experience in the SPFL, rather than struggling to get a game for Birmingham's youth sides?

Probably would have been, but sounds like staying nearer home is more important to him than the level of football he's playing. Wouldn't be everyone's choice, but If that's how he wants to see out the last few years of his playing career then fair enough.

Presumably meant to reminiscent of the Pony 94/95 top in particular, given the text in the photo. Can't say I've really liked pinstripes on a football shirt since the '82 Scotland away kit, though.

I dunno, if I could make as much in four years as he probably did at Leeds for doing next to nothing, I'd be well up for it.

As always, staying out of relegation bother and a half-decent run in a cup will do me. (Which, after last season, would also be a considerable improvement, and that's all you can really ask for from one season to the next.)

Hmm. Certainly not one of *my* personal favourites, if it is

That's another advantage of using a podcast app to listen -- if you set it up to automatically download episodes when they're released, it doesn't matter how long the server keeps them in the feed as you've already got a local copy to listen to. (Particularly useful for BBC podcasts, which often delete the last episode from the feed whenever a new one comes out.)
