They had the ICC World Cup qualifiers on here (spoiler alert, Scotland were glorious failures after beating the West Indies and Zimbabwe), but they started at 2:30am every day.

MelvinBragg Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 I must confess as I get older, I enjoy rhe close season more than I used to and frankly if the football didn't start back til the second week in August, that would be fine by me. Our last league game was 28th May and pre season started on 19th June. I'd like a longer period of time when I don't need to worry about Motherwell...

The older I get the less I worry, and the less I become effected by results. Conversely, the more I care about the club. Its a weird paradox. No idea what that means is going on in my head! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long season was largely due to the enforced break for the world cup. Should be more of a break next summer. Like joewarkfanclub, however, as I get older I am less affected by poor results. I'm sure that's also due to distance and early kickoffs for me. I'm totally immersed for the duration of the game and desperately want a win every time, but by lunchtime I'm over bad one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Maybe I should have substituted 'think about' for worry as like you two I'm more philosophical as time goes by. But when the season starts, as a shift worker, the process of making sure I'm off for home games begins. I know the World Cup was a factor this season, but generally close season seems shorter than before. Not a fan of the league cup format although I know it's here to stay. If you add in 'non-Motherwell' football like the Scotland games at the end of the season, sometimes it feels like football never goes away at all. And I like football, but sometimes even I feel like my wife who doesn't when she says 'I thought the season was over?'... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Aye, I guess a football detox is maybe as important for our mental health as a digital detox! Maybe I need to take golf back up again! 😆😆😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal from our new boy Conor Wilkinson which is encouraging. I also see that Butcher is out for a number of months (it was a number of weeks not that long ago!) our track record shows that we never rush anyone back from injury so we will probably see him play again in December/January!!

gaz7 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Reading the report on game seems lennon miller quite involved with shots tackles and hitting free kicks which I feel is quite telling. He certainly looks very accomplished and although only 16/17 is a big boy so here's hoping. Goal for Wilkinson another bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually looking forward to the new season not so much the league cup can’t stand the format but the season proper that’s when it all clicks in for me Also I always keep an eye on guys that have came through our youth set up see how they progress in careers and can’t wait to see Alan Campbell in the EPL this season!

Would be great, but newly promoted teams do have a habit of gutting the squads that got them there and spending their EPL riches on expensive replacements.
