The rumour mill suggests that Ojala is finished.

Where is McGinley? He wasn't in the squad for the Partick and Sligo games, and now he's the only player not to have a photo in the updated squad section of the website.

If Alexander signs another keeper (we already have 3), when we desperately need at least a new LB, CH, and striker, it will continue to confirm for me that Alexander is indeed a deluded moron. And if the Board support that, as they supported his undeserved contract extension, we're even more doomed than I first thought.

I would hope so, but it won’t happen. At the very least, however, it’ll signal the majority of fans turning on him, and that will be the beginning of the end for him.

If history has taught us anything, it will be more of the same 433 nonsense next week. And Alexander won't be sacked because the Club stupidly gave him a contract extension.

Correct. The answer to your question is that the manager is an arrogant imposter.

Lose and Alexander is finished before the season even begins.

The YouTuber is Footy Adventures. His content is good.

Why should this season be 'ground zero', though? Our record in 2022 (since Watt left) has been appalling, and nothing has changed. I would agree that it was 'ground zero' if we had signed the right players and changed formation and tactics over the summer, but that has evidently not happened, noting that it should have been Alexander's priorities before our European games. Just look at the following results history: https://www.flashscore.co.uk/team/motherwell/YuW7ZfMM/results/ Losing last night did not come as a surprise; it was a carbon copy result from the lacklustre performances of the second half of last season. That's the inescapable fact and issue here. It was obvious to anyone who went to the Partick game that we would not be capable of beating Sligo. The alarm bells have been ringing for 8-months, so I hope Alexander gets his jotters before it's too late.

Too many happy clappers here trying to defend the indefensible. We’ve been absolutely brutal since December, and Alexander would’ve likely been fired had we not scraped into the top 6 and European qualification. He, therefore, rightly got the summer to turn things around. However, after going to the Partick and Sligo games, I’d suggest we’re worse than last season. He needs to be shown the door now. His arrogance and cluelessness will see us in a relegation battle.

Followed by a rocket to the other side of the sun. He's an imposter. The writing has been on the wall since the middle of last season (at least) and nothing has changed.

The weather.

Sligo have just sold their star keeper.

It's updated now, with the St Mirren game being correctly set to Sun 31 July.

Slavia have higher seeding than Sparta so Slavia (I think) will get priority in deciding whether they want home/away on 4 August. TBC by 1800 CET tomorrow.

For the home game this Thursday, I bought tickets online. Is the ticket automatically added to my season ticket card or do I have to collect the paper brief?

Magic. Let's hope it updates the St Mirren fixture change. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the club release a fixtures download for email/calendars? If so, where, and does it auto-update if/when they amend the fixtures? I'm thinking of Outlook calendar type download files. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/fixtures-and-results/first-team/

Woolery's signing announcement video is a wild 90 seconds!

Why would it be a bad idea? For example, he continually gets booked for talking back to referees, so perhaps being captain will either: a) make him think before he speaks, and/or b) give him more freedom to talk to refs before they consider his continual backchat a bookable offence. Just a thought.

Due to the ongoing pitch renovations at Firhill, the game is subject to confirmation on Monday 11 July. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/thistle-scheduled-to-host-motherwell-in-friendly/

Away to Partick Thistle at 3pm on Saturday 16 July. https://twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/1541738186958946305?s=20&t=FnKeRETo9hEZjvUp5dcWqQ

Maybe SOD is going to Celtic or left back...

With SOD and Max Johnston at RB, it makes no sense to sign McGinn. If, however, he can play LB, he should start ahead of Carroll/McGinley.
