  1. Not this season, 0.5 points for a loss in the qualifying rounds.
  2. Reuter and Moller both won the world cup as well and were in that Dortmund side
  3. Yup, already beaten our total for 2015/16 in the beginning of August.
  4. At the same time we could have gotten much less to almost nothing. £1m to Aberdeen means a lot less than it does to us, and if we get that sort of offer for a 1 season player (who wasn't looking anywhere near his former self in pre-season), we have to take it. We talk a lot about the perceived "value" of players, but at the end of the day, every club has a price they're willing to sell everyone at, and ours is lower than Aberdeen's (and most clubs know that). I'm really gutted to see Cedric go, but he's the first one we've let go in a long time that I actually feel has the natural ability to make it to the EPL, just as long as he applies that talent fully. Would love to see him bodying Salah in a couple of years.
  5. That's club coefficient, for whether your team gets seeded or not. Country coefficient is still based on each games result: https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method5/ccoef2019.html
  6. Not really, but its cool to be mentioned in a video like this. I just like giving kudos to the young guys whenever I can, I remember my time as a season ticket holder in the mid-late 90s when I was younger in a dreary atmosphere, wishing we had something like what they do now to liven up the place. Although we sat in the main stand so shit like that was never going to happen there.
  7. Icelandic fans giving Motherwell credit for their 'Viking' chant in this half million viewed video(3:10). We can't help but be viral sometimes these days, great job to the Bois in the East Stand. Over here in North America, even the American Football fans are copying it now, Minnesota Vikings call it the Skol chant.
  8. The transformation in this club over the last 6 months has been nothing short of remarkable. Full credit to Stephen Robinson, Alan Burrows and everyone that worked so hard behind the scenes to make this possible. And thank you to the players that made it possible too. Days like today don't come along often for fans of clubs like ours, I'm off to the pub to enjoy it a bit more.
  9. And there's our centre-half, Peter Hartley on loan from Blackpool for the year. Weird one as he's just signed there.
  10. Thats Grimshaw signed up, with one more coming within the hour. Wonder if the other ones a centre-half or if we're thinking McHugh will be slotting back in there with Grimshaw taking his place.
  11. Yea, don't know what I was thinking there...
  12. 0.125 overall points, as the 0.5 points they would gain is divided by the 4 teams taking part.
  13. The Old Firm have been equally as culpable at that, so let's agree to say that none of us have been pulling our weight as much as we could. That being said though, if we deride the clubs for losing to unseeded sides, praise must then be heaped on those that overcome their seeded opponents so Aberdeen's 3 years in a row of doing just that should be applauded. They must be one of the only clubs in Europe to have done accomplished something like that. 1. Germany 2. England 3. Spain, Italy were 5th
  14. Yea this is the same Rangers team that won only 1 of their last 25 games in Europe, they were a big part of us falling down the rankings like we did.
  15. Because it's a 5 year average, also the reason we're still up their as we got a shit ton of points just for being in the CL qualifiers, regardless of the result. Its why its good to see Aberdeen making Europe time after time, most seasons its been musical chairs for the teams outwith the old firm for who qualifies, and leads to our clubs having poor club coefficients and poor seedings. If they make it next season Aberdeen will finally be seeded in QR2, and if they get to playoffs both seasons, there's a good chance the season after that they'll be seeded in QR3. Hibs would've gotten some club coefficient points for being in the next round, but the country wouldn't receive any, and its unlikely the extra points for them will make a difference any time soon.
  16. Getting all those 3.5 points would have us at 2.75 right now and clearly in 1st place in Europe as of right now. Every country that's gunning for the top 15 has teams dropping points early to teams they shouldn't. We're in a much better position this season than Poland and Norway and about an equally good position as Sweden. Celtic really need to make a good run this year though. Club coefficient-wise they're about to lose their 12/13 season which will drop them way down the rankings. The past seasons they're been seeded basically the whole way to the group stages, next year the might not even be seeded in the 3rd round.
  17. Well Hibs have done it now at least, 1 extra point than I thought they would get for sure.
  18. It's the result after extra time that counts. When Motherwell lost to Stjarnan 3-2 AET, it counted as a loss for the coefficient.
  19. Same place they loaned João Mario and Ruben Semedo to. Hopefully can follow what both those guys did and come back and win a first team spot.
  20. I'm liking this thread: http://www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=95187 where they mostly seemed to have voted for McHugh to be their next captain until today.
  21. Yea but, I believe the contract extension wasn't offered 60 days before his current one expires, which leaves him free to Join an English team(or other FA), for no compensation.
  22. Catelyn could have and probably was more liked by the time the show starts but at the time he made the promise, he's only ever really seen her once, the night they got married. Over the years he grew to love Catelyn, but it would take a long time for her to surpass Lyanna I think, at which point he might have been waiting to tell Jon first.
  23. Not transfer news but I find it pretty cool that the Icelandic viking chant being showcased in the Euros, they borrowed off of Stjarnan, who got it from us: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/the-origin-of-iceland-s-incredible-viking-war-chant-motherwell-1.2702816?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
  24. Has Azor Ahai been mentioned in the show at all? In the books with the whole bleeding star, salt and smoke shit it's pretty blatant but prophecy has been barely touched upon in the show, they even cut the valonqar bit from Cersei's one.
  25. re: Sansa and Theon surviving I've never gotten this fascination people have with Gendry, he's a pretty cool character sure but narratively unimportant. Jon Snow shows how little is thought of recognized b*****ds in Westeros, never mind unrecognized ones, and with his Dad deid, there's no way to legitimize him now. He could maybe show up to get burned by Melisandre, but if it would just be for that, I'd rather he stayed on his boat. Season 6 casting shit (spoiling just in case people don't want to hear about this):
