Only the ref can tell us that, and I doubt he'll be popping on here to tell us. The tackle on Long was more from behind than from the side, though, which might make him more inclined to consider it was "reckless" whether he touched the ball or not.

Getting the ball first is irrelevant, the only thing in the rules that determines whether a challenge is a foul is whether it was careless, reckless, or made with excessive force. (I'm still not sure it was worthy of a straight red, though, and I see they're appealing it.)

2-1..

Dearie me. 1-1.

Having seen the angles on MFCTV, I'd say it was a foul. Red maybe harsh though, not even sure he'd have been clean through.

1-0 -- Donnelly scores from the free kick

Ah, maybe it doesn’t show you the price till you’ve created an account and signed in. Haven’t looked in a while.

Yes, you can sign up for a month, costs about 12 quid if I recall (but it tells you right on the homepage, so just go and have a look). Subscription auto-renews, so you might want to cancel it again straight away so you don't forget.

Indeed they might, but presumably we took that into consideration when rejecting whatever their reduced offer was, and decided it was worth the risk.

He's only 28!

Twitter said Scott was taken off as a precaution after a knock.

Full time, job done.

2-0, Long... that should be that.

An open-goal miss of Shuggie Edvaldsson proportions there.

One was well advised and is progressing extremely well at his chosen club, one is Jake Hastie.

They're not allowed to broadcast any live match coverage that isn't behind a paywall, so Mixlr is gone. Paying for MFC TV is the only way to get live audio or video coverage now. Other than that, there's the live updates on the matchday page on the club website, but so far that's been no better than the reduced live Twitter updates this season.

Had forgotten about Chris Porter (probably as I didn't get to see many games in his time, even on TV), Tommy Coyne was the first name that came to my mind too. To some extent it's kind of a different game these days, I suppose... you just don't really seem to see so many centre forwards bursting through with only the goalie to beat any more.

To be honest, I can't remember when we last had a forward I'd back to score one on one. Moult, Higdon, Sutton, none of them ever really scored many from those positions.

We went to Hibs at Fir Park on the afternoon of my mum's memorial service, because it's what she'd have expected us to do. We lost 4-1, and we were so bad that Bob Malcolm scored. She had zero interest in the fitba' (even though she somehow usually knew the score before we came home) and she'd have found it hilarious that we'd have wasted our money on that "load of tripe".

There are certainly companies in the US that do that, yes... there's one that estimated Apple's sales figures for years that way, forget what they're called off-hand, though. And then there are those that didn't ask, but Google allowed them to do it anyway: https://wccftech.com/google-developers-scan-gmail-inboxes/.

To be fair, I hadn't really understood "in demand" to mean "actual sales", so I'm sure it is indeed more along the lines of looking at how many "interactions" there are on "the socials" . That said, there are ways to get a rough idea of sales trends without knowing actual figures, too -- some market research companies even scan email receipts in people's Inboxes, if they're daft enough to give them access to that sort of thing. (Which all too many people are.)

And also well known for their mention in a long-running TV ad for the milk marketing board, to which the tagline was "Accrington Stanley... Who are they?"

Bad news everyone. I’m making a rare visit to Fir Park for this one, and I haven’t seen us score a goal since 2013.

You can find the full list of citations and outcomes at https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish-fa/football-governance/disciplinary/disciplinary-updates/. Certainly if you search for "was not seen", they're pretty much all Premiership games.

I suspect we might have to get used to that. Feels like we're going for more of the "you score one, we'll score two" approach this year.
