  1. SOD's international performances have confirmed what many of us knew already. He's better attacking than he is defending.
    It shows how opinions differ as I'd say the opposite. If anything, and from the little I've seen of him, Patterson looks better going forward and his inexperience is noticeable in his defensive duties which is why I think Clarke preferred O'Donnell.

  2. I read that we offered him a fairly lengthy contract but that he chose to let his existing contract expire and then join Stoke. Nothing more Motherwell could do to stop him.
    He was with us for 10 years I think, so we should benefit from training compensation, based on training costs from age 12. It does not matter that he waited until his contract expired before joining Stoke. Training compensation is due for training costs from age 12-21, and payable in respect of all  future transfers up to the end of the season of the players 23rd birthday. So every club that develops a player gets a slice of the transfer fee,.
    Last I read, for cross border moves the fee due per Uefa is 90k Euros for each full year from year 12. I assume we are a Category 1 club as in the top league of a Uefa affiliated country.
    Not sure how much difference it makes but I think we're a category 2 country. The larger, higher ranking countries are category 1.
  3. I obviously want us to win but am very much in the wait and see camp as there's no word on a stream and I doubt there will be radio coverage. We could well end up relying on Twitter updates and I struggle to get much enthusiasm for that.

    Knowing absolutely nothing about the opposition and not being able to attend the game if we do get through isn't helping get the excitement up either.

    Saying that, I'll no doubt be scrambling about tomorrow night looking for any coverage I can find.

  4. I've also just seen the highlights from their last round.
    Looks like our mutual loathing of the defensive game is clear to see! Embdy's game! haha!
     
     
    Oh great, they like to lump it into the box and feed off the knock downs. We looked really comfortable with that last week.

    Also, I'm sure I heard the commentator mention Janet Street Porter at one point. Not sure who she was playing for though.

  5. Just on fans attending games in general, Don’t think it’s clicked with the government yet, that the risk in an outside setting is low....they keep saying they are following the science but.....
    When you go to the game do you ever touch the seats, go to the toilet, touch the turnstile etc? All issues can be overcome but I'm sure the government's scientists will be advising there is a risk.

    I tried that but my Samsung TV doesn't seem to be very good (it's absolutely rubbish to be honest) at following links in the web browser and I didn't get anywhere.

     

    I think I'll give the Chromecast a go - from Superward's comments it seems easy enough.

  7. I watched the Livi game on my PC but was wondering about streaming the game onto my TV on Saturday instead. I've got a smart TV but it's a bit older and doesn't come upon the list of supported devices when I've tried to use an app on my phone so I'm wondering about getting a ChromeCast or Amazon Firestick. Has anyone watched the game by casting from Android phone to TV and was it straightforward? Am I better with ChromeCast or the Amazon version (we've got Amazon Prime but just use the option on the tv to watch it)? 

  8. Have to say we've played a blinder on both the PPV and the season ticket price and guarantee. Can kind of understand Livi's point of view with the high asking price, but it's not a good look... a bit surprised the clubs didn't get together and try to agree on the same price, or at least a narrower price range. (Or maybe they did, and there was just too much difference of opinion.)
    According to the BBC podcast today, 11 of the 12 clubs are using the same company for streaming their games but couldn't come to any agreement on pricing so have had to price their games individually.
