Toxteth O'Grady

I'm old enough to remember us playing a reserve cup final against Celtic at Fir Park in the late 80s, so it has definitely happened before. The only explanation I can think of is they think they will get a bigger attendance if they play it at the home ground of one of the teams taking part(???) Does seem unfair, but I will be going regardless.

I emailed Hearts to ask about this... "Both sets of fans will be located in the Main Stand but segregation will be in place. We have sent tickets to Motherwell to sell."

So the Reserve League Cup final against Hearts will be played at, er, Tynecastle... https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/03/15/reserve-league-cup-final-set-for-tynecastle

Same team as last week. Dougie Imrie injured?

Any possibility of playing it on Saturday?

Shaun Hutchinson has just equalised for Millwall against Hull.

Full time

4-1

3-1 game over

Unsurprisingly, James Scott has been substituted. Sammon on.

2-1

That'll be that then!

When was the last time we kept the same strips for two seasons in a row?

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stats-show-celtic-motherwell-currently-14014348 Bit of a pointless article. What was it Ebbe Skovdahl once said about statistics?

Team picks itself at the moment. I'm guessing this will be one of these threads where everyone is confident of a victory, which always makes me slightly nervous. 2-0 Motherwell

The ones at Avon Street are away, but you are still down to one lane (briefly) further down, not far from the junction with Tinkers Lane.

Edit - beaten to it too.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47003490 Motherwell: Stephen Robinson 'confident' David Turnbull will sign new deal By Scott Mullen BBC Sport Scotland 2 hours ago From the sectionMotherwell Sharethis page Watch: David Turnbull scores as Motherwell sink Hibernian Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson is "confident" David Turnbull will sign a new deal at the club. The attacking midfielder, 19, has become a key player for the Lanarkshire side after coming through the ranks. The scorer of the winning goal against Hibernian on Wednesday, Turnbull's current contract is up in the summer. "They are making progress on it. I think both parties want to get it done so the sooner the better," said Robinson. "He just needs to concentrate on playing football and let other people worry about getting the right deal done." Motherwell's teens sink sloppy Hibernian Motherwell's victory over Hibs, which moves them to within five points of the Easter Road club in eighth, was largely down to Turnbull and his fellow academy graduates. Jake Hastie was instrumental in the winning goal, while Allan Campbell was a formidable force in midfield. Earlier this week former Rangers and Motherwell defender Maurice Ross took over as under-20s manager from Stephen Craigan, with Robinson underlining the importance of the role to the club to keep that young talent coming through. "It's been a massive part of what we do," he said. "It's up to him to develop them and it is then a handover process as we dip them in and out of training with the first team. "I have seen Mo in training, he is top class. That's what we need, we have to coach players here."

I can't let this pass without comment. Main had a poor game tonight, but to say he was hiding is just ridiculous. For a striker, the number of goals he has scored this season is a bit embarrassing, however it certainly hasn't been down to a lack of effort.
