It always was on TV.Looks like the first League Cup against the Rangers will be on telly. No time confirmed yet on the site.
That's why it took a week between the draw and fixtures coming out.
-
Quite ironic that we are whining about playing them more when Mr glib and shameless is announcing it's inevitable they will play somewhere else.
-
Who could we sign to overwhelm you?One of them will be Dean Brill. Other two likely to be defenders. Underwhelming...

Won their group and ended up with Spain in the knockouts, it's no wonder they might be a bit miffed.It was? Anytime I turned over, it just looked Italy couldn't really be arsed.
-
Decent for ROI I suppose,Italy's b side not so good.Aye? It was a cracking game.

Strange game to get caught up in.Good news about Keith. Strange time to release the news mind you when most of us are caught up in the Ireland game.

Maybe that's to head off the roasters who tweet him on an almost hourly basis to ask if we have signed anyone.I am particularly looking forward to Flows next tweet saying how busy we will be.......
Usually they arrive once a week followed by .............
I am being churlish, but can we not even announce the signing of a new tea lady
The club don't normally sign people and keep it a secret,they probably won't start now.

Fuck Ross County, their owner bankrolls that team with questionable financial fair play criteria, so there's no reason he couldn't throw some money to the 2 pensioners and a dug that follows them with a 100 quid into a minibus every so often. Problem solved.
Fucking raging!

They're all over in benidorm for the 'traditional' 12th celebrations.
That'll be why they are not coming.
-
I normally hate a Monday at work after getting beat by either of the ugly sisters.
I'm not looking forward to hearing their shite tomorrow and we've not kicked a fucking ball yet.
Thanks for that Motherwell statement writer guy.

Not happening now we are only getting one fistful of blue pounds this season.What's happened to these 4 signings this week ?
-
It might well have done.Didn't most of the gate receipts for the play off game go to the SPFL?
Like a lot of people I thought that game signalled the end of our club 'knowing our place' with that lot.
A year later we are back on our knees.

Should have gave them the full south stand in the play off and banked the cash instead of acting Billy big baws.

With Rangers out of the picture, the other Clubs (MFC included) had the opportunity to right some of the wrongs, but chose not to.
Not entirely true.
Aberdeen saw a chance to be relevant again and jumped in Rangers shoes to block some changes. Did the the 10-2 voting structure not change though when the leagues merged?

Just a well he didn't suffer a long term career threatening injury then.Yeah but maybe the long term financial forecasting had him going for a lot more in X years time for all we know.

The Board of Motherwell FC wishes to express its extreme anger following the publication of the SPFL Premiership fixtures earlier this morning.
Motherwell, along with Partick Thistle and Hamilton Academical, have two home Old Firm games pre-split, whereas some of our closest rivals have four, something that has never happened in the history of the SPL / SPFL, as far as we know.
This has a serious financial impact on our club, and we cannot and will not accept it.
It creates a significant financial advantage for some clubs over others and in our view, just as important, compromises the integrity of the competition, both in terms of the potential/need for adjusting respective player budgets up or down and the amount of games teams have to play at what has historically been the most challenging venues.
In previous seasons since the split, there has always been parity where clubs had the same amount of home games against both Old Firm sides (almost always three) and were expected to travel to both Celtic Park and Ibrox the same amount as every other team in the division prior to the split.
There was no hint of this fundamental change until we received the fixtures at 8.02am today and, therefore, like the other clubs in our position, now find ourselves significantly worse off than we were on Thursday night and with insufficient time to make appropriate adjustments.
We expect this unacceptable position to be reversed immediately.
In addition, whilst having sympathy around the difficulty of selecting games for certain times of the year, Motherwell FC believes having two midweek matches away at both Inverness CT and Ross County (the Inverness trip being three days after Christmas) sends out the wrong message.
Where possible, consideration should be given, particularly around the festive period, to the needs of all supporters given we now have two fixtures that will be largely inaccessible for a significant portion of our fan base.
Embarrassing.
-
The fixtures sending Motherwell to Inverness, Hamilton to Aberdeen and Ross county to celtic for a match between Christmas and new year should be the main complaint today.
If we are relying on that gang from Govan to balance the books then there have been no lessons learned in the last four years.
