Yes some frustrating results but jeez give me this style ahead of the dross we were served under previous managers. I really like JBA and I am sure we will progress under him. I also think a lot of our fans can't remember us being in this position where every game we are dominating. It's impossible to dominate for 90 mins though and due to this other teams are exploiting our weaknesses. However I for 1 am loving it and have no doubt we will come good. Remember when Alexander was winning and no one could see how as we were terrible but when our luck ran out we went to hell. Our luck this time hasn't started imo so only upside to come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold out our initial allocation but still tickets left Anyone know why this is allowed given the 3pm Saturday TV blackout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Premier Sports requested it in their contract and they got what they wanted. Certainly games from previous rounds were on simultaneously, albeit they were being streamed rather than broadcast live. Not gonna lie. It made my decision not to go to Pittodrie much easier after the shit experience we had up there last time in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a late add on. Read elsewhere it was gonna be on Premier Sports 2. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/09/16/quarter-final-tie-to-be-shown-live-on-premier-sports/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couttsy Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Yeh, it was suppose to be Premier Player only (streaming) then they changed it today to be on Premier Sports 2 liner channel. Not sure Aberdeen v Motherwell on TV will stop other fans going to their teams games, but it is a risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Are they not showing live EPL games? I think Clubs should be able to stream games at 3pm. Would be an extra revenue and don't think it would impact gates all that much. Don't think the TV highlights programmes would be impacted that much either.

Looking at the Premier Sports Cup payments and both clubs get £30k for a televised quater final on top of £100k prize money. Not to be sniffed at. And thats before our share of the gate money. Cup runs ARE important for clubs our size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the current situation is, but for a while the English clubs were ignoring the rules in place because the TV money they received for the live games far outweighed the small fines they had to pay for the breach.

texanwellfan Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Sorry, didn’t know where to ask this question. Is there an injury list available anywhere showing what players are out, what the injury is and target date to have them available for selection again?

Ive had a look on the club website and I dont see anywhere that this information is listed. Its been a frustration for sometime and not something we have been very good at since Flow left. I get that some of it is private medical information and thats down to the player themselves, but I dont think it would be breaching any confidences to state the basic nature of the injury and timeframe for return. Of course it could be down to managers not wanting to give opponents too much information in a bid to keep them guessing. From what little I know or can glean from other sources the list looks like this.... Robinson - Achilles - October Stuparevic - Knee - Long term Nicholson - knee - unknown Sule - unknown - unknown Sparrow - muscle - unknown McGhee - thigh - unknown McGinn - unknown - unknown Stamatelopoulos - shoulder - unknown Slattery - unknown - 5/6 weeks Hendry - unknown - unknown For a club our size, thats a lot to contend with......

If it was an illness, I would very much agree. That said, by divulging injuries and keeping illness confidential, you would effectively highlight a player with an illness, so it brings you back to the same place......

well_said Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 2 hours ago, wellgirl said: The club were ok at giving injury updates when Kettlewell was here. Pretty sure he used to give updates in his interviews. I was usually asleep 20 seconds after the start of his interviews and waking to catch the last 20 seconds after an 8 eight hour sleep. Boring self indulgent bastard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 The communications from the club has fallen off a cliff since Alan Burrows left. Don’t get me wrong, it was overkill at times and a lot of it was unnecessary (a coffee and a chat with x, y or z etc) but the club were on the front foot with communicating with the fanbase when Burrows was here.

All the fans need to know is a player is injured, and not available for selection, with additional updates when they are back training and/ or fit to play. How would you feel about your GP giving constant updates on any injury or illness you had, the same applies to football clubs. So no need for any additional communications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 The lack of information, in some cases, may be required by contractual provisions. I suspect in many cases, much, although not all, of this information, will be known by rival managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 2 hours ago, wellgirl said: I also don't see how not saying would give opposition managers an advantage - because just because someone is available doesn't mean they are going to be picked That’s why your not a manager.

I also don't think I post more than most - I've cut down the posts I make on here lately - for that exact same reason. Folk digging you out or laughing at everything you post. Folk don't need to be sarky if they disagree with you. I disagree with plenty of people on here and vice versa but there's civility there. Just going to caveat this by saying I'm not discounting your point of view either. But I'm one of the few female posters on here and sometimes I feel I get chinned for posts other people wouldn't. And sometimes it feels very uncomfortable - and personal. I log in once in a blue moon and only make the occasional post: in contrast, you post a lot; as do grizzlyg and weeyin, for example. It is what it is, and each to their own, but if everybody was like me there wouldn't be a forum. I'd hope that - in the vast majority of instances at least - misogyny isn't a factor, but I'm hardly qualified to judge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yabba's Turd Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Steelboy hasn't posted on here since he was moderated (Feb 2024) , we don't read everything posted, we could, but we don't, so anything that you feel aggrieved by just use the report function and we'll take a look, but dragging up someone who hasn't been here for 18 months is a reach no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
