Might be bit early yet, but I begin my travels to Mumbai this morning for work this week, so welcoming any tips on how I might get to see the game tomorrow. Might be one for the ex-pats...
Almost certain that it will be on eplsite.com and atdhenet.tv

From what I saw (which wasn't that much) Stokes and Forrest looked sharp tonight.
Hopefully that was just a blip.

it's not really illegal tapping if the club have agreed a fee.
Depends on the process followed. If we shopped him around, then no. If any club so much as sounded him out about a move, then yes.
-
Heard from a reliable source [and I'm not telling who] that Randolph is away in January £600,000 .Done deal and all that ,just have to wait and see.
If it's a done deal, I'm looking forward to the club's reaction to the illegal tapping of a player with 18 months left on his contract.

We've had some top quality full backs at Fir Park over the years. And Derek Murray.

i don't suppose you know his all in total by any chance?
i've never seen the point in focusing on league appearances, cups are just as important.
Ah, found it, I think. Not the full article, but an extract from an Evening Times article from 2006.
LEFT-BACK Joe Wark spent 16 years at Motherwell - 1968 until his retirement in 1984. Still a member of the Former Players' Club at Well, Joe won First and Second Division titles with the club without lifting any of the major trophies. He did gain recognition for his consistency by being called up to the Scottish League side, although a full cap eluded him. With 539 appearances to his name, however, he looks back fondly on his time at Motherwell.So, 539 is is number.

I don't know total. Had a look last night, but couldn't find it anywhere. I'm sure one of our resident stattos must have it somewhere.
-
is that definitely wark's total appearance record? i think i've seen that listed as his league appearances before.
It is just league, yes.
-
Great thing to go along with that is, he could easily make 500. You think he has the rest of this season, which will make him 30 - and all things going for him still a few seasons left in him yet.
If he makes it to 465, he will have beaten Joe Wark's appearances. Fine company to be in - especially if you are a left back.
-
ok, people leave Motherwell to go to Parkhead or Ibrox - but those people wont come and support Motherwell. If Accies moved to a Friday night - would you go and support them?
Back in the day (as we old farts like to day), Accies home games were scheduled for the days that Motherwell were playing away. We didn't need any fancy computers then - the guys that did it were smart enough to work it out on paper; even when we were in 2 different divisions.
It probably didn't swell the gates by a huge amount, but I know a fair number of Accies fans that would join us from time to time at the 'Well games, and a number of Hamilton based 'Well fans who would wander down to Douglas Park when there was nothing better to do on a Saturday. In fact, I even knew of 2 people who had season tickets to both grounds.
As well as the scheduling computer not being that smart, I expect cost would now be the prohibiting factor for this to be repeated.

Unless Tony Siragusa is one of the analysts.
He's on the touchline - doesn't count
-
It might not be everyone's cup of tea but at least Hansen and Shearer (and importantly together with their researchers/producers) give you actual analysis of each game. Highlighting good off-the-ball runs, defensve lines, offside traps, positioning - all neatly rolled together into a cute package with the same technolgy available in the Sportscene studio - and you see these things with the shading/arrows/encircled players that you wouldn't normally catch.
I must be watching a different show, as I find their 'analysis' to be about insightful as the rest of their comments. Putting a big arrow pointing to the space a guy ran into doesn't make the comment any more intelligent.
I hate to say it, but I find the analysts on US sports much more knowledgable and, when required, not afraid to rattle a few of the players' cages. 5 seconds after a play in American Football, the guys in the booth have everything broken down and can explain in great detail what went right (or wrong), who missed coverage, why the QB threw an interception, why a lineman didn't get the correct angle to block, and give a history of the last 10 times the QB made the same play and how well it worked out for him.
For me, the guest analysts during World Cups, Euros etc. are the ones that most often deliver the goods. Strachan, O'Neill, Gullit identify and explain things few people consider (especially the idiots presenting the programme).
If you ever read one of Jonathan Wilson's columns in The Guardian (never mind one of his books) you can get a flavour of how interesting real analysis can be. His depth of knowledge of tactics, how and why they have evolved etc. is incredible. He is the kind of person that should be on MotD - not some moronic footballer who creases up at the sound of his own farts.
There are few ex-palyers who can speak intelligently about the game, and ever fewer who aren't so far up the backsides of the establishment that they will actually voice an honest opinion.

I can't watch Match of the Day thanks to Lineker - who after all these years still sounds like he is reading from autocue. And the banality of Shearer, Lawrenson etc. make it excruciating.
Sportscene isn't great, but they are somewhat restricted in what they can show. Be happier if they just cut out the guests and showed some SFL action, mind you.
The EPL show we get over here is just 60 mins of highlights with a few voiceovers to link the games. That works just fine for me.
-
You can guarantee that even if Rangers did find themselves facing a points deduction (and there is along way to go before that becomes a reality), the SPL will do everything in their power to prevent it happening.
-
I would rather Celtic had scraped a win at the weekend so there would be less pressure on them to get a result against us. It could work against us, or as others have said, might work in our favour if we score first (or at least stop them from scoring early).
A hard fought 1 - 1.

Can't hear this, just keeps trying to load! Same with commnetary on game yesterday, but could get 'open all mics'.
Any ideas??
What browser are you using? I haven't had time to trouble shoot, but on my desktop, Firefox won't load some of the Motherwell TV files. However, switching to Internet Explorer solves the problem. Same version of Firefox on my laptop has no issues.
-
I have a lot of time for Tel and his comments, but I'm still not sure how the ref "cost them the game". He only disputes the red card, not the foul itself. Even if the ref hadn't even booked the guy, we still scored from the free kick.
Or does he think with 11 men on the field, they were going to score an equalizer in the last 5 minutes?

Ach, it's not his fault his blue nose fuels his fear of Celtic beating us.

Does this mean that they envisage Jennings being off in Jan?
Just a guess, but if they do sign Hughes, it might only be until Jan to see how works out.

I'm a season ticket holder - it provides a ticket to the games that Motherwell play
It's been a long time since it provided that.
-
Point is it costs me more over the season to pay at the gate (my choice) than the season ticket holders who are complaining about the game being moved to a Friday.
One of the reasons people buy a season ticket is because they want to go to every home game. If they miss one or two due to random rescheduling, then their ticket loses value. That seems like a valid reason for a complaint.
I'm sure you would complain if, after you paid at the gate, you were asked to leave the ground and refused a refund.

Same here, but it quite happily took my US number when I prefixed it with +1.

Don't think this is the TV companies this time. Quote from SPL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster: "There is no ‘silver bullet’ single solution to the various issues confronting the game in Scotland. And there is no monopoly on good ideas."
Maybe not but the SPL seem to have a monopoly on bad ideas.
In which case it's even more mental. Fans are already pissed off at moving around kick-offs, so what do we do? Introduce another new kick-off day/time.
-
The last straw from the TV companies pissing around with kick off times.

I have the exactly the same browser config on my netbook as I do on my desktop. Same versions of plugins, same version of flash, same version of firefox.
I can play the vids on my desktop, but not on my netbook.
Bizarre.
