well fan for life Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 From the standard of football we've played at Livingston in the past couple of seasons there is nae chance I'm parting with a score to have my eyes bleed profusely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I'd consider £20 would be if there was a few of us gathering to watch it and that obviously cannot be done at the moment. I don’t know if I have the discipline to switch off. At one level I am aware I would have paid £20+ plus petrol to attend the match. But on another the quality of the game will be poor and it’s on the telly at 6pm. It would be easier if the sun was out and I had better things to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podcasts in the ears and all notifications off, then probably somewhere else until I go home and help feed the wean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to most away games, so I would very likely have been paying the £25 to sit and suffer like I did in the other games at Livi - but I can't bring myself to do the same to watch it on the laptop. I started the season with the intention of paying for all our away games (apart from the OF) as I want to support the clubs but with Livi's pricing, that's out the window. Despite paying it every other week, I don't think that actually being at a normal league game for £20+ represents any sort of value for money - it's simply overpriced - and being asked to pay that amount without the part that most of us enjoy is a step too far. I'll be interested to see how the core support of clubs that are getting used to <£15 for streams view an instant rise back towards the old pricing model in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'd pay £40 to not to be hounded for 15 minutes before the game and every second of half-time by Livingston's stadium announcer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - there's a local radio channel (Campbelltown FM, The Driving Heart of Kintyre!) missing their 2pm weekday presenter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Besides the Pieman their are no other fit goalies at the club. Carson and fox out with knee injuries. Morrison and Connelly are both on loan at Falkirk. Robbie Hemfrey left for Stoke. I assume we will try and get another keeper in until we can recall Morrison. The only other option is 48 year old goalie coach Craig Hinchcliffe pulling a Petr Cech and registering as a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 There he is.. Can't say I know too much about him but he looks a decent signing on paper. He was a regular in the English Championship until a couple of seasons ago and has obviously been called up for Scotland.In all honesty my criteria for a keeper these days is "don't be Craig Samson" so he passes the first test. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is standard P&B for people to pile on and slag off new signings and in the end many of them turn out really well despite that......but I watch quite a bit of Millwall and he really wasn't very good. He was widely regarded by their fans as a liability who got way more games than he should have, and there was bemusement when he was called up by Scotland. After being freed by them he has failed to find a permanent deal anywhere and here he is on another short term contract. It might turn out great but I'd be a bit wary of making too much of the "international keeper" thing or setting your expectations too high.

There, that's my expectations suitably managed. Just as well too, as on our current run of luck it's almost inevitable that Chapman will be attacked by a swarm of African killer bees at Livingston on Saturday, and be out until the heat death of the universe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us know he will likely be injured in a few weeks and we will be looking for our 41st keeper of the season. As someone else said - as long as he is no Craig Samson then we are already in positive territory. ETA - Dr Manhattan beat me too it and was more amusing...

Anyway, perhaps Motherwell will be the place where Archer gets his career back on track. Good luck to him and Well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that would be fair warning if this was a long term gig but the hand we've been dealt is that we've one fit goalkeeper at the club outside of the transfer window so we really are in beggars can't be choosers territory. As it is we've brought in a guy with 166 games for Millwall and was largely competent in his handful of games with Oxford according to their fans. He's signed on a short term deal until the January window opens at which point we'll probably reassess things depending on how Carson's rehab is going. Granted the "international keeper" tag is pushing it but equally there's no lie there. He's got a cap and Motherwell's media team aren't going to miss that sort of tap in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Respect to the club for doing the right thing and getting an emergency signing in rather than doing a St Mirren and inventing fictional covid cases every week until Carson is back. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were fuckin LOADS of wasps there on the opening day of the season last year, TBF. Honestly hoping we never see Archer tbh. Thon Pie laddie collected some crosses, looked like he got nowhere near shots. Dunno quite what to make of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
