If you want to stay in touch but do not want Motty standing around on your desktop then you can easily do so.
Open the right-click menu and select Minimise
A small M for Motty icon will appear in your system tray - the small area at the bottom left of the screen where the clock appears in Windows.
If you click on the M you get a basic list of Motty functions - without the actions that come when he is free to wander your desktop.
The bubble will pop up from the system tray every time a new event occurs - provided you still have RECEIVE FOOTBALL NEWS and FOLLOW LIVE ACTION ticked.
Sounds will also still play, provided the SOUND is switched ON in the Options screen.
If you ever want to bring Motty back to his full glory, then select Restore from the minimised right-click menu.
