  1. And now he is unretiring to play for non-league side, Gartcairn.
  2. The Aberdeen and Celtic players didn't really help with this either.
  3. Looks like Jamie Murphy is heading to Easter Road for season long loan (to become permanent in the 21/22 season). Rangers strategy, apparently, is only to loan fringe players to Premiership rivals this season in a effort to bolster their bid to stop Celtic's 10 in a row push.
  4. Luckily (or not) for the overseas fans, we're getting the MFC TV stream. That probably means the Celtic TV feed with their obnoxious commentary team, but at least it can be watched with the sound off.
  5. Not too shabby for an emergency signing.
  6. That's standard practice for just about any team who is about to transfer a player. It ensures we get a better price and sweetens the deal for both parties. If we'd played him, Celtic (or any suitor) would be asking for a discount.
  7. I'm not sure fielding a player you just employed is lacking integrity.
  8. Sounds good. Especially as my old $4.99/month ESPN+ plan is grandfathered in. They already do good coverage of the EFL games as well as many other European and South American matches. They even have the Australian games on,
  9. Either Celtic are going be feeling the pressure and struggle to perform. So will beat us by the odd (self-inflicted) goal. Or they are going to be fired up looking to put their Champions League exit behind them, and we could be in trouble. Let's just take it to them the same way we took it to Hibs and see what happens. If DT does make an appearance at some point I'd bet a fair wad that Campbell will nail him.
  10. The all seated Fir Park can look ugly. You notice that even more if you view it from the Phil O'Donnell Stand. It doesn't look as bad from the other side looking into the O'Donnell. While it was by no means pristine when it had terracing, its open air nature did make it look better when it was empty. Or maybe that's just the nostalgia talking.
  11. We need to pay them so we can stream their feed?
  12. If you believe wikipedia, Crags was a boyhood Glentoran fan - so maybe he wanted to keep things balanced.
  13. It might be - but I'm struggling to find that anywhere, Of course the prize money might be less this year with single leg ties and no crowds - the figures I had were from last season. Regardless it's all extra money in the bank.
  14. What I'm trying to say is that 220k is your baseline for being papped out in the preliminary round. If you progress you get 240k if you are papped out. Win that and you get 260k if you are papped out in the 3rd round. etc. These are all just baseline payments. In prior years the TV money share has been quite tasty too. 200k+ per round sounds like a lot, but UEFA money can be a bit mental.
  15. I think you're right. I think basically those figures are what you get when you are knocked out in each of those rounds.
  16. According to the Herald, for us to be seeded in the next round, two of the following teams needed to lose in the First Qualifying Round: APOEL Nicosia Malmö FF Partizan Belgrade FCSB NK Maribor Hapoel Beer-Sheva Rosenborg BK Apollon Limassol FC Fehérvár Shkendija Tetovo The New Saints Dinamo Minsk Lech Poznan Aberdeen Zrinjski Mostar Kairat Almaty Zalgiris Vilnius I'll be honest - I haven't checked.
  17. Exactly. And you can see why teams are desperate to get to the group stages.
  18. Last season's payments were quoted as: Preliminary round: €220,000 First qualifying round: €240,000 Second qualifying round: €260,000 Third qualifying round: €280,000 Play-off round elimination: €300,000 Base fee for group stage: €2,920,000 Group match victory: €570,000 Group match draw: €190,000 Group winners: €1,000,000 Group runners-up: €500,000 Round of 32: €500,000 Round of 16: €1,100,000 Quarter-finals: €1,500,000 Semi-finals: €2,400,000 Runner-ups: €4,500,000 Champions: €8,500,000 Those are the fixed payments, I believe, then there is additional TV money depending on the size of the local market.
  19. It is the home team commentary feed, so I don't mind that. It used to be much more biased last season when it was Lewis + a well player as co-commentator.
  20. I don't usually vote if I'm just watching a stream, but I suppose everyone is in the same boat now. Long for me, just ahead of Polworth. I thought Watt added a spark when he came on too and, of course, Trev's save in the first half prevented a mini crisis.
