Motherwell vs Havnar Bóltfelag (23/7) Discussion

[David]

So, the European football we fought so hard for last season has finally arrived. We're maybe not in the best shape for the game, but surely we still have enough about us to sneak through?

Yes, I think so. Get a win at home, then see what happens.

I'm OK if we even just keep it close at home, because I think we'll be much improved for the 2nd leg.

Depending on the exact fitness of some of our squad, I think we should be good.

Right in their faces from the first whistle, move the ball quickly and press high when not in possesion, and try to get the tie done at Fir Park, its knockout football no time for cautious play and holding back.

100% this. We need to be aggressively trying to win this by a fair margin.

Mon the well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know if this game (and the second leg) will be available to watch anywhere for those unable to attend?

[grizzlyg]

I think the fans are going to play a huge part as we need to get right behind the lads. Should be a great crowd but no idea how ww will line up

[wellsince75]

We are massive favourites at

1/7 to win

8/1 draw

20/1 for them to win.

Given they are 16 games in to their season I thought that was a bit of a leveller but the bookies odds gave me the injection of positivity that I  needed

After Stjarnan and Sligo in particular, I will never take us to be strong favourites in a Euro tie ever again.

I think because they are match fit and because we have a fairly makeshift starting 11 at the moment this is a 50/50 game.

Is this game available for overseas viewers? I have family in Canada asking. They usually watch games via the MotherwellTV subscription.

[Kmcalpin]

Are we opening up the South Stand or just limiting our fans to the other 3 stands?

[bobbybingo]

2 of their guys denied visas, including Moses.

It's being broadcast by SolidSport apparently.

Not familiar with which countries they operate in, or if that means it might also be on MotherwellTV, but it might help locate a stream.

EDIT: I just created an account on there, and it says I can purchase the game for 12 quid. But no hint to any geo-restrictions.

It's all about getting through so hopefully we have enough over the two legs and we can then be in much better shape in terms of fitness and signings for the next round.
