Anything pre-that is reliant on how well someone archived a decade ago, so is...patchy. Particularly 2010-2012. There's a page on YouTube, the Arab Archive where you can find highlights of pretty much any game we've played Dundee United. There's a Kilmarnock one and a Hearts one too, which aren't quite as good, but do have a fair few games. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0l8u5b_90Vf1coZnhmJz6Q - Arab Archive https://www.youtube.com/c/AmorusoLetsItRun - Amoruso lets it run - Hearts https://www.youtube.com/c/KillieFCTV/videos - Kille FC TV You can obviously find most games against the Old Firm knocking about YouTube somewhere, but unfortunately the ones we'd want to see are often the ones which haven't been uploaded! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while - all the McCall era stuff was archived on the first generation "Well TV" (along with folk chipping a golf ball into a bucket and Stan videos of Darren Randolph) - but as far as I know, that isn't available anywhere now, which is a shame given how good some of that stuff is. So, there is a gap between the stuff on the "Gobstopper" youtube channel and the official SPFL stuff, which as @thisGRAEME says, is all there. I'm genuinely impressed that @Casagolda found a 20 views, 260p version of the game I was talking about though - if anyone can find the game that season where we tanked St Johnstone 5-1 at Fir Park near the end of the season*, I'd like to see that one again... *Predictably, the game they tanked us 5-1 at Fir Park is very easy to find....

Aye, something we visit semi-regularly atm. Tbf, there is also an ongoing project for developing a bigger and far more comprehensive archive which will hopefully come to fruition. At the moment, loads of footage exists...somewhere, but it's spread throughout STV, the Beeb, Sky Sports, a whole collection not accessible remotely in Hampden, and a lot of physical copies kicking around as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Some sort of SPFL TV archive of classic games, highlights and other stuff. A minefield for rights I’d imagine but would be well worth a subscription to. The Netflix of fitba. Edit: aye, basically what Graeme says. Make it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This honestly isn't far from the truth (but Digi betamax rather than VHS, so even bigger and chunkier tapes). I'll send a picture next time I'm in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Bit of recruitment chat in Alexander's press conference today it seems. Quote "We scout lots of players," said Alexander. "I won't speak about any individuals specifically unless we've signed them, but we've spoke to a lot of players. "That's not just in Ireland - that's in England, Scotland and abroad. January is an important time but we are just trying to focus on our games. "The Irish season is just about to end and there will be a lot of speculation about a lot of players over there - agents are brilliant at that. But we'll see what January brings. "I could give you a long list of players we'll be linked with in the next six or seven weeks." "With our recruitment during the summer, we looked everywhere," explained Alexander. "As long as they have the right attributes for what a Motherwell player should be, we'll try and sign them."

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Obviously the LOI Cup Final has ramped up a whole lot of press this week for our lad Tierney (amongst others). Agents looking to get their out of contract guys a move and the Brexit factor meaning that Ireland has got the market cornered. No work permits and paperwork required to take a punt on an Irish lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'm mildly paranoid that Tierney will have a good cup final and get pinched from us - don't like all the "signed for Motherwell" chat and I won't relax until the big twitter reveal 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I kind of found it weird that Alexander was talking about him in the way he was a while back but in the same press conference turns round and says: Quote “We had an agreement with Bohemians that we would allow him to finish the season over in Ireland. “He is an exciting young player who will come in and enhance our firepower and our quality. “It’s been a long one, and it’s still not over the line as he still isn’t here yet. “But we are delighted that he is coming to join us." Link Then again I also noticed he's actually locked in as signing for us on January 1st in FM22. Which is pretty much as official as it gets.

capt_oats Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) The look on Alexander's face when the boy asks him whether 3rd is a "realistic finish this season" btw. Incidentally this is unrelated to the Alexander interview but another smashing interview with Tierney.
