If a regular starter takes a knock and is out for a game, I can see the point in mentioning it. For players that are out longer term the medical staff generally don't like making predicitons about when they will be fit again, so I'm not sure what good it would do for the manager to run through the long-term injury list every week and tell us who is still out.

You might be right, but from memory, they said exactly the same thing for the Euro game and when you clicked the button it said "you need to buy a ticket on the PPV site".

Motherwell players playing for the first Scotland team to qualify for the Euros in 20+ years? Booooo. BOOOOOOOO! Get them ooooot!!!!! Don't want all those fancy dan internationalists anywhere near our squad when we can have non-league journeyman to fill the jerseys. Let's get Grimshaw back there and put Lamie at left back!!!!!

Aye, no Cup games of any kind in the overseas package.

And we'll be in it at least until we get St Johnstone away in the next round.

If this season has proved anything it's that we need a minimum of 10 first team defenders in the squad to have a fighting chance that 4 are fit at any given time.

Cheers. Sorted.

I suspect that if he'd joined us he'd still have been sold to Rangers around the same age. That's how things worked in those days. So it's possible we saw him in claret and amber for longer than if we had signed him as a youngster. We certainly wouldn't have seen him line up with Bobby Russell, who people tend to overlook when talking about Cooper, but who made a significant contribution to his success at Fir Park.

Aye, I'm not worried about signing up, just wondered if it was actually happening. I know how these things go sometimes.

Anyone read or heard anything more on the streaming front for this game?

Good point about the shorts. I remember the white shirts, but couldn't tell you about the shorts. I also remember the press (Record I think) bigging up McKeever as the next Gerd Müller!

A Mess of the Blues.

I thought it was maybe one of those time traveller photos you see on the internet. I can't add anything to the white shirt mystery, but the "borrowing it" seems the most likely explanation. I wonder if someone like Davie Hay would remember.

Also a puzzle is why the date under the Albert Kidd photo says December.

In the 80/81 season, the only other team I can think of that might have clashed is Berwick Rangers - but the change kit rules were a lot more relaxed in those days. I honestly don't remember if we wore that white Adidas more than once, though. The Utd game is a standout largely because of how well we played against a very good side.

Happy to see the 1980 Adidas one make an appearance. We won that leg too, then Utd - according to Jim McLean, himself - robbed us in the second leg at Tannadice.

Even in this world of fake news, conspiracy theories and social media rumours, this story became "fact" in double quick time. (I don't really care about his real or imaginary contract negotiations, btw. I'm not exactly Jimmy Reid, but I have no problems with any worker negotiating employment terms with their bosses. And the club obviously wasn't unhappy about either, otherwise he wouldn't have kicked another ball this season). Gallagher's form had dropped slightly at the start of this season, but that put him in good company with literally every other player in a 'Well shirt. In the future, however, if anybody ever again asks the question about why our better players don't get international recognition ahead of guys in the English League, or are upset that a player from Dundee Utd commands a transfer fee 5 times bigger than anything we ever manage, just point them back to this thread. The way fans talk down our players - including one who was instrumental in securing Scotland's place in the finals - is quite something.

Sounds like you agree with exactly what the guys were saying in the video.

Would have been more surprising if Gallgaher had started given his lack of first team minutes in the last few weeks. I'm not a fan of starting players in the international team that aren't starting in their club team.

Presumably the lights from Morrison's car park aren't sufficient, so they need to finish before it gets too dark.

I believe the streams we use are the BBC feed, and it's a 3rd party platform that hosts them. So not sure we have much to offer except Jock, Lewis and maybe Kirkie.

My 2 predictions: - After a tight first 10 minutes we'll win our tie comfortably - We will not win the cup

When you see the reactions on here any time a manager gives an honest opinion about players, you can understand why they stick to manager speak. Plus, at this point, it's counterproductive to slag of anyone in public.

Kelly's contracted until 2023 at QPR, so unless they are feeling in a charitable mood, I can't see that becoming a permanent move.

Be even worse when we win the final in a empty Hampden...
