How do you know he doesn't speak the language? If he is as well prepared and advised as I suspect he is, he has probably been learning Italian for at least 6 months.
I hope that is the case to give him a baseline but he will need at least a year in an immersive experience to be fluent. The club will be well used to settling players from other countries though so I wouldn’t be too worried.
it’s a great move for him. I can see him doing well if he can get through the first 6 months and is playing. Udinese have lost a few midfielders but they have a better squad just now than they did at the end of last season. I can see them having a more comfortable year which may work in Lennon favour.
I will be in Milan at the time of the Inter Udine game so may try and go to see it.

Any news of a possible Ferguson transfer? That would free up the 6 role, no?
Unlikely after the events last season. It also appears that the link with Ferguson is the main reason that they are in the driving seat.
Bologna is a wonderful city to live in out of the options available - perhaps with the exception of some of the cities further south. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I’m in Bologna just now and reading the local media it appears to be a done deal. They are quoting €5 million (euro remember not pounds) but with added extras including a sell on clause for Motherwell - doesn’t mention the % but does say a further fee will be due if hit certain number of Serie A appearances before the 26-27 campaign.
Torino would definitely be the preferred option if you asked my opinion (likely to play as a 10 there and feed some excellent strikers) - more suited clubs for him would be a Fiorentina or Verona looking at their squads but doesn’t appear to be working out that way. Much as I hate to say it I could see him playing as an 8 at Lazio but may be tougher to hit the 30-40 games a season he would expect
After the success of McTominay, Gilmour, Ferguson, Adams, Doig and Henderson previously Italian teams are keen on “Fortissimo” Scottish players. As someone who lives in the country and follows the league closely I would be very surprised if Miller isn’t also living here soon.

That just isn’t true. I was sitting two rows behind the fan who he had an interaction with (Robinson and the fan both were giving each other stick throughout the game which was fair enough both ways to my eye). The fan made the point during the treatment break that this injury was all on Robinson and his encouragement of horrendous fouling tactics. Jacovides pushed Watt who fell into Slattery and bumped into the injured player. The fan never swore at Robinson in that exchange and never said anything derogatory about the injured player. Robinson then said something completely unrelated, along the lines of “hes being taken to hospital and that’s ok!?” And the fan said he’s only going to hospital because of your tactics. And that was it.
nonsense and untruths need to be called out when it happens because as we have seen recently, these things quickly grow arms and legs and before you know where we are all sorts of lies are being written about us.
I don’t post on pie and Bovril but I see that someone else has posted exactly my account above from their perspective. So two independent accounts of Robinson talking nonsense.

Fans shouldn't be having long interactions with the opposition dug out. What's the point of that unless you’re an attention seaker. Or someone that likes sound of their own voice.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you but that doesn’t make it OK for Robinson to say something that just didn’t happen.

Robinson also suggested that some Motherwell fans were happy to see the player stretchered off. Said it twice in his post match interview.

Clubs and fans will always find something to complain about. Every European tie is refereed by a neutral and it doesn't reduce the number of bad decisions from them or VAR.
I can’t agree with that. The referees in European competition are far superior to Scottish referees. They also definitely make less mistakes. VAR is much better utilised as well.

I have two spare kids tickets if anyone wants them tomorrow? Face value.

I went when I was back in Scotland last season. I think it was only on trial then. Was really good I was very impressed!

Why is Dickie still on the board if he was appointed there based on being elected on as TWS rep? Surely if he resigns from TWS then he loses the exec board seat?

Eh, 43-45 pts this season? That would mean both Hibs & Dundee winning 4 of their remaining games, or Aberdeen or St. Johnstone winning 5. I suspect 35 may be enough, but that is just a guess.
I would imagine 1-2 teams might break the 35 point barrier looking at the fixtures though. I think every team plays 2-3 of the other teams around them so as long as they are not all draws then if one team goes on a run they could in effect win 2/3 “6 pointers”

Does anyone watching abroad ever have issues with the official stream from live.motherwellfc cutting out every 2 mins?
literally is happening every game for me now. I have tried to change web browser but hasn’t helped. Happens with all the players.

Yes that’s what I get when I click on the link but just says live audio before clicking on it.

When I log in I see it listed in Events after the Motherwell v Sligo Full Match Replay link.
Thanks I can see that as well but it only says live audio. Previously I am sure it said live video. However when I click on the link it says live video for overseas subscribers and live audio for UK/Ire. Is that the same for you? My overseas ST that I have paid for still says that live video is available for H and A games but I know that the SPFL have now removed this option for UK subscribers.
-
Is the game available on MFC TV for overseas subscribers live? Can’t see it on my login page as yet.

I don't post often and last posted a number of years ago. However I felt compelled to post having been home for Christmas and attended the game today. Excellent performance and the youth players that played and came on were outstanding. Proud and surprisingly excited about the future of Motherwell FC

I haven't posted on here a long time but I just wanted to say that I have really been enjoying the podcasts and I have listened to every one. Also the podcast with the new owner has inspired me to sign up to the well society as well so keep up the good work lads!

The build up on Italian TV said visa issue but they don’t have a literal translation for work permit so I’m presuming that’s what they meant.
