Not just curious, would like to attend match, as a poster already said if Bala, take car early Thursday 1 overnight and then next day home. Cost fuel and BB. Sligo is more complicated. Cost of fuel, one person ferry, and Wed Thurs BB is around £700 and do not fancy solo trip. From enquiries so far flights are very early morn and very late night are not an option for me due to age and health. Mid day flight lands at 14.10 so thro customs EU ????. Bus to Train station 20 minutes, Departure time train 15.00 going to be difficult to achieve. next one 16.00. 3 hours to Sligo. so about 19.10pm arrival. Far too many risks so flight for me at least would need to be Wednesday mid day.

Can I ask what plans if any the posters who are suggesting flying to to Dublin (assuming opponents are Sligo) have on the next part of the trip. Trying to weigh up the travel options.

If the Charlton v Preston game I watched is anything to go by there is a lot of dross at the top of the Championship.

Don,t know about MOM but I was impressed with our new no5 for always playing the ball out from the back. Counted only one misplaced pass.

100 % agree.

Definitely need a Gorrin level player in midfield. Donnelly is not the answer. I recall seeing him for the first time against Darlington last year at RB and posting to the effect that defensively he might be better than Tait but his distribution was poor. Nothing i have seen so for has changed my opinion.

Obviously a slow news day for some on here

Sure I saw somewhere. Carson not allowed to fly apparently.

Goly in the first half had four accies players surrounding him and made fools of them with his foot work. i agree with the comments about Gorrin. but have to go with Turnbull. I recall only one mistake all all afternoon. boy covers all of the park making himself available, never seems to panic when in possession or making a pass. Maturity way beyond his years.

Crap! Yes there is no risks in contracting A ie one boy. Where does the risk start offering contract to young boys ? 15 or 20 of them maybe ? You would be the first to complain when a boy we gave a contract to failed to make the grade.

Whether for the first time or for the umpteeth time that was a red card , not only that but the goal was deserved punishment too. Wine at dinner and bias has had no effect on my opinion.

Yes I know the usual dross such as Yogi will be quoted. Neither can I name a replacement but then again I am not in the football business. What we need is a manager with a Stevie Clarke background ie managed at a reasonably high level although maybe not successfully, been assistant coach at some top clubs picking up experience and knowledge. Surely the Club or their contacts are aware of "names". Or am I being naive.

I would like this on record. After many years on this site I can say for the first time I agree with Steelboy

Can't speak for spiderpig, and i might be in the minority but my confidence is not dented because Sammon is unavailable.

Agree with most of that. Not impressed by Sammon signing and thirty minutes or so neither added or lessened that opinion. Thought Cadden and Frear were given more freedom to play their best attributes and popped up every where including defending when required. Tait I thought had a great first half, not so much second and perhaps Cadden absence was a factor. He reads a game well and makes himself available for a pass.

Never saw much evidence of queues but will say that I had bought a ticket for the POD primarily to get registered and thought "print at home" was available, handy for me being 35 miles away. Also it appeared that cash and tickets were being taken at the same turnstile contrary to what i believed was to be the case. Stub was removed from ticket. scanned by hand machine and initialled so I guess it wasn't any quicker which should have been one of the objectives. Early days tho.

I chose the collect option in this instance, pick up office before ko Tuesdays match. Being an hours drive from Fir Park hoped to have print option.

Just set up an account and purchased tickets for Edi Ciy and QOS. Did I not read somewhere that tickets could be printed at home?. Wasn't an option at checkout.

Cant speak for the Crusaders game but having watched games v Darlington and Dunfermline. Am I correct in believing Donnelly wasn't subbed. Would indicate a desire to get match fit to play. Team selection who knows. 352 or 442. Last years early rounds had some experiments player wise but this year not so many new faces to fit in.

Dont often disagree with you, but,its not who or where he has played that matters, its how successful he has been. Clue is Levein wanting rid. Very much hope this is "fake" news

Must remember one game and still early for comparison, and lower opposition, however on this showing may defensively be better than Tait but not as good going forward.

Can't go back to the 30's but can go as far back as early 50's as schoolboy fan and whilst I am hesitant to disagree with any communist my thoughts are that football in general then was far better supported so Motherwell must have shared in that. 130,000 plus at the 52 cup final would suggest that too.

Can somebody explain "accessible seating" just curious.

Thought you would have known by now that some people are at their happiest when they something to moan about Also statistics can be made to fit your end game every time.

Yeah probably punishment for those fans who didn't turn up on Sunday
