Toxteth O'Grady

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50713338 Yup, absolutely laughable decision.

He's not in the squad

The club are running buses to the game... https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/12/04/book-a-bus-to-dundee/

Just received my accounts. The club posted a loss for the year of £436,000. The early cup exits and a reduction in the payment received from UEFA for no Scottish teams participating in the Champions League group stage were mentioned as factors, however the sale of Kipre seemingly brought in almost £800k.

Monday 16 December at 7pm

Dundee United are at home too. Hopefully their match with Hibs is moved for TV.

Today's BBC gossip...

St Johnstone?

Same 11, formation and gameplan as at Ibrox last week.

The ones on Airbles Rd are definitely away.

Unchanged line up.

I will be absolutely devastated if we ever leave Fir Park for an identikit stadium. For all its faults, it has character in abundance. I love grounds with quirks, such as the section of the main stand that was never built. There's a limit to what could be done with the East Stand given the restricted space, however is there scope to redevelop the main, which is the oldest part of the ground anyway? However, I guess the club might want to cash in and sell the ground for housing

Do these games still get shown in certain local boozers?

Today's team. Carroll misses out https://mobile.twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/1185538266528915456

BBC gossip...

Unsurprisingly, same team as last week.

Levein gets the dreaded vote of confidence... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49738583

Seedorf's goal currently ranked second in Sky Sports' goal of the day.

I thought Campbell might struggle a bit today after his exertions for Scotland U21s, but he was absolutely everywhere today, from the first minute to the last.

Unbelievably, it is TWENTY FIVE YEARS to the day since this game. My first Euro away trip, and even though we lost it is right up there with my favourite ever Motherwell games

BBC Gossip... Motherwell have offered in-form midfielder Liam Donnelly a new contract, with the 23-year-old entering the final 12 months of his current deal. (Daily Mail, print edition)
