Dons_1988 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Your friendly against Coleraine reminds me of a trip to Belfast from Edinburgh I had a few years ago to see the in-laws. An older guy sat next to me on the flight. He had a thick west coast accent, he was drinking pretty heavily and told me was off to see the football. It was July, I'll be honest, a weegie football fan drinking heavily in July heading to Belfast, I feared the worst about his choice of team and just wanted to ignore him. He eventually spoke to me some more, he apologised for the drinking but told me he was absolutely terrified of flying but he was going to see Motherwell in pre season and he never misses a game. Guy was absolutely sound and chatted to him about Scottish football for the rest of the flight. Felt bad for the initial judgement of him! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the pre-season stuff - heading to NI with practically no attackers signed always had rich knicker-wetting potential - I've not been brave enough to head over to Steelmen to see how things are going but I did notice that Wullie wasn't too happy based on his comment on the team picture on Facebook #Measured 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) For context, here are the 1st and 2nd half XIs. I only had half an eye on the game via the Bet365 app but IIRC it finished with us having 60%+ possession and significantly more 'attempts' on goal but (obviously) it finished 1-0 to them. Following on from @Casagolda's post earlier, going by squad numbers alone we've not replaced Hastie/Cadden wide right, Main as a #9 and Ariyibi wide left. Colour me surprised that our issue seemed to be converting the chances we were creating. Also, going by the highlights it looked like both Maguire and Donnelly were taking Ally Gorrin's holding role. It's notable that the 2nd half XI is weighted far more in favour of the Young Team (Devine, Cornelius, McAlear, Scott). Given the links to Leicester and West Ham I'm genuinely curious as to how McAlear got on as he's probably the one player we've not really heard much of in terms of the #YoungMotherwell brand. Ross was shouting out Semple, Devine and Cornelius in the MFC Podcast interview and we've already seen a fair amount of Scott in the first team. McAlear...less so.

Kyle Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/06/27/david-turnbull-to-stay-at-motherwell/ David Turnbull's dedication to banter shouldn't ever be forgotten. Sounds like a long term injury though - hope he comes through it all ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hopefully that’s the saga over. I’ll be delighted for him to play for us again when he returns from this op. Also our statement confirmed Celtic are penny pinching b*****ds. I hope we remember that when it comes to January or next summer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casagolda Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 3 hours ago, Casagolda said: Quite frankly, I think the club has to put a stop to that before they do anything. Either it’s on or it’s not, for it to drag on for over two weeks now is absolutely ridiculous. We’ve been more than patient, hope the club call Celtic’s bluff and tell them to either pay up or piss off. Thank you. It only made sense to sell him if we were getting maximum value. As soon as Celtic started trying to shift the goalposts this should always have been the end result. Kick in the baws for the boy right enough but if he gets himself back fit and he finishes 2019 like he started it, I’m sure there will be more offers coming his way in January or next summer that suit both him and the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Could be the making of the lad. He'll be disappointed but as long as he doesn't let it affect his football then another big move could come in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
