Is he a free transfer ? Best of luck to him.

I don't know the first thing about Flamaturi and couldn't even guess at their ability, but I'd expect an SPL side to be able to beat the sixth best team in Albania over two legs. We shall see.

Brits abroad, one hundred degree heat and straight into the sun covered in the baby oil Have a great time out there. Respect is due to anyone who will travel to Albania for a Europa League qualifier

I read today that four Manchester United matches will feature on ESPN in the first couple of months of the new season. Home games I'll be there for, but I'd like to catch the away games on telly. So does anyone know how ESPN operate? Will I already have it on Sky somewhere, or will I need to subscribe to see their EPL coverage ?

I would imagine it will be on radio Scotland, if not on telly. Some outlet will have full coverage.

Wow, can't help but wonder what the implications will be, if any, for Motherwell. Guys from the club shop ??

You could be right, but give yourself every chance. You never know.

If you get past the Albanians, I hope you get the easiest possible draw in the third qualifying round, and Hamburg would be anything but. Qualification for the competition proper would be a big achievement and a nice moneyspinner, but a tie against a side like Hmaburg would make that impossible. Leave the big names for the post-qualification phase.

Erm.........hard to put into words really, 'not very' being the most diplomatic description.

Cheers for that. On balance then, surely 'Well have a good chance against the sixth best team in Albania ? Ok, Llanelli first leg means nothing can be taken for granted, but there must be a decent chance of progressing.

How strong are Flamurtari? Where did they finish in the Albanian league last season, for example ? Not that that would tell me much

I bet you were rushed off your feet, what with a couple of thousand Scots looking for a drink after a long journey. The bar takings were rather good I'm guessing

Awww, I was hope for a "Tevez seen at Fir Park, says the Bellshill speaker" type story

Any names being mentioned this weekend in the media up there re new recruits ?

That really tugs at the heart strings. Well done to yourself, other fans and the club for the concern showed for Mr Miller. Let's hope he can put this behind him and is back to full health soon, enjoying his football again. I still can't believe anyone could sink so low.

"Buckfast, a traditional grape based alcoholic drink of Scotland, is considered especially good in Motherwell" Ye jakey basturts. Someone has to be at the wind up there

Taxi for Al

Excellent footage, well done all. Indeed there are the 'odd one or two' who look like they may have been exposed to alcohol

I thought young Slane was very good and looks to have potential. My vote to him.

Not with the two who assaulted the old man? Surely they were arrested and charged with GBH ??? They should have spent the night in the cells at Llannelli.

That really is beyond belief. Poor old guy, best wishes to him and the others attacked. I'm normally anti-violence but some things are just so disgusting they make your blood boil, so it's a shame nobody got the chance to kick fuck out of the two animals responsible who ruined what should have been an enjoyable trip for the victims. And what a coward, head-butting a frail old guy who couldn't hit back. Unbelievable behaviour.

Actually, of course, I should say ball played to feet except for the three goals, but you know what I mean . Not hit and hope.

Big improvement there. Worries at the back, particularly at set pieces, but nice invention going forward and the ball kept on the deck to feet. I thought several of the youngsters Gannon had to rely on took the their chance well, with Paul Slane catching the eye. They have every chance of beating the Albanians if they can sustain that level and tighten up at the back.

Very nice goal. Excellent turnaround from the first leg
