It's that time of year where some of the team looks like they haven't played together before and I need to copy and paste the new player names from Wikipedia. Welcome back and take your pick...

High Press takes the lead!

Slats and Halliday using the "fake argument" approach to that free kick. I remember we had a similar routine under Ally McLeod where Willie Irvine and Brian McLaughlin would "argue" before Irvine flicked the ball over the wall for the man at the end to run on to. Only ever remember it working once.

That will likely be intentional. I remember Accies only used to water the half they were attacking in. Then turned on the sprinklers for the other half during the interval. Also, Slats needs to change his footwear, because he's struggling to stay upright,

TBF It did look like a plastic assist, just surprised Slattery sclaffed it with his experience on these surfaces. Nothing the keeper could do, and it was a good finish from the Clyde player.

Just in time for the equaliser. Slattery redeemed.

I certainly never called Slattery hitting an intended 10 yard pass, 2 feet - even on plastic.

Callum Slattery first to join this season's "Defensive Disaster" Hall of Fame. Dear, as they say, Oh Dear.

Premier Sports are streaming it, apparently - if you're happy to spend 99 quid for a sub.

Panoramic views over the plastic pitch to the empty gazebo stand, with the magnificent, imposing edifice of Morrison's as a backdrop.

The new gaffer is no different from previous managers at this time in the season. The starting line up in the first league cup games takes a shape for many different reasons. Some players are further ahead in their fitness than others, so more likely to start. The manager wants to try out a few new combinations in a competitive match. The manager wants to "balance the load" across the squad over the next few weeks. Anyone with even a small twinge from training will not be risked. Some players handle plastic pitches better than others. Lennon Miller is about to be sold. etc, etc.

Official site says the game will be streamed on MFC TV for overseas subscribers (no PPV option).

No.

We could insist that everyone starts a new Topic any time they want to say something not directly associated with the Topic headings, but I imagine there would be complaints about having 354 new one-post Topics every day.

If you can wait 4 minutes, I'll post my response.

I'm not sure Armstrong fits the new gaffer's (or Wimmer's) preferred style, tbh. I'm not even sure we need a "big, powerful" striker as that also depends on the style preferences. There are a number of successful teams that don't use them. I would hope, however, he has ideas of his own and won't need to rely on loans from last season.

Maybe it will be on Ceefax.

Good deal for Watt and Partick I think.

From memory it's a bit hit and miss. Depends if any TV company is covering it as MFC TV uses the TV feed. If not, then we are dependent on a club's own coverage, and quite a few don't offer that. Although technology has made it easier.

And those of us over the age of 35 know it's Ferrigno

He was one of may favourite players when I was a kid. I think I was about 9 or 10 when he joined us. Of course, at that age I had no idea of his history. For a brief time we had Wullie P, Bobby G and Peter M together.

I'd prefer Marinello-esque, but will take what I can get.

It's not the Motherwell content that's the issue.
