Hibs 2 up against Celtic now, to delay any title celebrations. These ***** are beatable, all right.

As much as I'm not a fan of either man, I honestly believe that Neil Lennon is a better manager than Brenda. Played Celtic 4 times this season, with 2 draws, 1 defeat and 1 win. His record in Europe with Celtic pisses all over Rodgers, and faced more competition in his time there as well.

He may not have the tan, the white smile (he's certainly not got that) and the smooth media personality, but along with Robinson he knows how to get a result against this lot.

The game is winnable if we do what we do, and the officials don't fuck it up.

That defence of theirs is horse shit, and they haven’t had to properly deal with Curtis Main yet. I think he’ll have a field day against Ajer and Hendry. 

I agree, Main is a different prospect all together for them to handle and he could give them nightmares if we dictate our style of play on them.

However, over the season they've conceded fewer league goals than any team in Scotland and it's one of the best records in the UK.  We've scored twice against them in 4 games. One the goals was an OG. 

We need to find a way to goal, and that's proved difficult so far.

Cracked or broken, he will be out for at least six weeks before any contact sport will be possible.

That's true for us civilians, but when there's Cup Finals to be played, players are often risked.

The past can't be changed. Who cares what has been and gone. I'm looking forward to pumping them.

Hollywood ending is Sinclair giving away a soft foul in the last minute and Kipré scoring the winner from the free kick.

Celtic's defence is weak and Main can be a handful but it won't be down to him whether we win or not.

We need to press high up the field and get runners from deeper positions.

It's going to be players like Chris Cadden or Richard Tait that create the conditions for a victory.  If they have poor or average games it won't happen.  If they have good or excellent games it can happen.

Overall we need intelligent running and a forward looking philosophy.

If we allow Celtic space and time to play, forget about it.

Going back to USA start of May, any chance this will be on telly over there?

Zero chance, unfortunately.  For the first time in a few years the SFA/SPFL didn't manage to sell any domestic games to the US this season. 

A VPN and BBC iPlayer will be my stream of choice. (I suppose there's an outside chance a pub might have the same setup, or some dodgy Celtic TV stream, but no idea where you'd find out about that).

 

EDIT: There may also be an outside chance it's shown on one of the Spanish/Latin American channels, but those can be difficult to track down and often it's a replay rather than live.

Injury update on eight players

Monday, April 23, 2018

Injury update on eight players

Motherwell have a number of players currently sidelined through injury.

Andy Rose suffered an injury to his clavicle during the 0-0 weekend draw with Ross County.

After having an x-ray on Sunday, the club are monitoring how long it is necessary for him to be out and are, at this stage, still hopeful he will make the William Hill Scottish Cup final on May 19.

Curtis Main was also injured during the game in Dingwall. The striker had an x-ray on his wrist on Monday which didn’t show any initial fracture.

He will undergo further tests this week to determine the extent of the injury but is not expected to spend long on the sidelines.

Carl McHugh also damaged his front teeth during the match with County and had dental treatment on Monday. He is not expected to spend any time out.

As has already been announced, George Newell fractured his cheekbone during the William Hill Scottish Cup semi final win against Aberdeen. It is not yet known whether the young striker will need surgery.

The medical staff are also continuing to monitor an ankle knock sustained by Nadir Çiftçi in training.

Ellis Plummer, Peter Hartley and Craig Tanner remain our long-term injury absentees.

Cup final ticket information

Tickets for our 2017/18 William Hill Scottish Cup final against Celtic will go on sale on Friday, April 27.

Motherwell will receive a maximum allocation of almost 15,000 tickets for the match.

Supporters will be located in the west and south stands at Hampden Park. Ticket prices will start at £30 for adults and £15 for concessions.

Motherwell fans will be seated in areas A1 through to B3 in the west stand, areas P1 to P6 in the William Hill south stand lower and sections Q1 to Q6 in the William Hill south stand upper.

We encourage supporters to purchase their tickets as early as possible. Our initial allocation of tickets will be for 12,700, with the potential to receive the additional sections B4 and B5 in the west stand, should we sell.

The club has until Tuesday, May 8 to request these tickets from the Scottish FA, or they will be reallocated to Celtic.

The ticket office will be open from 9am until 5pm on Friday and will be open on the morning of Saturday’s game with Dundee.

2017/18 season ticket holders and Well Society members will have exclusive access to purchase up to four tickets each first. 

Tickets can either be purchased in person at Fir Park or by calling 01698 333333. Please note, phone sales will not be taken at weekends.

A general sale will then commence on Thursday, May 3.

Chief Executive Alan Burrows: “We have worked extremely hard over the last week to get as many tickets as possible for this match, whilst agreeing to be flexible depending on how sales are going.

“Like the Betfred Cup Final back in November, we have agreed to sell them block by block and request B4 and B5 in the west stand if we sell out in time.

“After prolonged negotiations, we have managed to secure tickets in top tier of the south stand, above Motherwell fans, which was extremely important to us.

“I would urge as many ‘Well fans as possible to get their tickets as early to avoid disappointment and to maximise the potential support at the final.”

So where would our buses get parked then? The parking for the semi was ideal, right outside the stand, I assume it won't be so close at the other end?

Eh? It's literally right outside. All other independent coaches are parked towards Victoria Road on Langside Road and walk via Queens Park Drive and Cathcart Road.
