http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2018/03/19/club-to-appeal-cedric-kipre-red-card/ Club to appeal Cédric Kipré red card Monday, March 19, 2018 Motherwell Football Club have lodged an appeal against the red card shown to Cédric Kipré in Sunday’s fixture with Celtic. The French defender was dismissed for violent conduct by referee Craig Thomson in the 41st minute of the Ladbrokes Premiership match. The club believes this is a case of wrongful dismissal and, having submitted a Player Reference to the Scottish FA on behalf of the player, the matter will now go to a fast track tribunal. The principal hearing will take place on Thursday, 22 March 2018.

Craig Thomson is the ref. FFS.

Tanner out long term :'( https://twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/974224331491500033

4 points behind Hearts with a game in hand? Given our run in I admit it's unlikely, but we're still in with a chance. A win against Accies is a must, which will hopefully have followed a Hibs victory in the Edinburgh derby the previous evening.

I see the club are running buses again... Getting to Hampden The club are operating a bus from the Cooper Bar on the day of the game. The bar will be open before departure for food and drink.

I was about to post something similar. Coming along the M74 from Motherwell it definitely make sense for us to have the East Stand.

Do you not think the home support today was a bit embarrassing?

Motherwell: Carson, Tait, Cadden, McHugh, Main, Dunne, Aldred, Kipré, Campbell, Çiftçi, Tanner Motherwell subs: Griffiths, Bigirimana, Frear, Bowman, Rose, Newell, Maguire

Pitch looking good... https://twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/969512503737769984 https://twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/969520102625435648

Hopefully tonight's postponement gives us a slight advantage over Hearts, who had to play last night.

I'm hearing that all of tonight's games are going to be postponed. Announcement imminent.

All schools in North Lanarkshire closed today. Don't see any way this game will be going ahead.

1-0 Motherwell

Dunne for me again. Thought Tait also had a good game.

Shirt pull on Ciftci.

Aye, the better team are behind. Main is having a great game, but his loss of possession in midfield led to the goal, although O'Donnell should have been closed down quicker. Carson has had little else to do. Looked a pen to me too.

Sounds like McFadden could be joining the Scotland coaching staff. One to appease the fans? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43091503

Hartley out for 2 months minimum http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43076403 Motherwell: Peter Hartley out for two months with foot injury 3 hours ago From the sectionMotherwell Motherwell defender Peter Hartley Motherwell defender Peter Hartley has made 17 appearances, scoring three times, since joining from Blackpool Motherwell centre-back Peter Hartley has been ruled out for two months with a foot injury. The 29-year-old was assessed by a specialist after aggravating the injury before the winter break. "Peter is not going to require surgery but he is going to be out for a minimum of two months," said Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson. "It's a problem that he had with his foot, just innocuous, jogging along, and he felt something pop in his foot." Hartley joined Motherwell on loan from Blackpool at the beginning of the season, then made the move permanent in January when he signed a contract until 2020. Motherwell defender Tom Aldred and St Johnstone striker Denny Johnstone Tom Aldred joined Motherwell on loan from Bury and has helped to fill in for the injured Hartley The defender has not featured in Motherwell's past five matches, but Robinson is relieved that the injury is not as severe as the club thought initially. "We have had him see a specialist," Robinson said. "It wasn't as bad as possibly we first feared, but we will be lucky to get him back before the end of the season." The Motherwell manager does not intend to sign a replacement defender, even though Ellis Plummer is out with a broken leg, since loanee Tom Aldred and academy graduate Barry Maguire have stepped into the breach. Robinson may, though, look to add to his striking options if he can identify any suitable free agents. "We're always looking, we have some potential targets that we are looking at this week," the Motherwell manager added. "Ryan Bowman has been training all week so he could be involved on Saturday. George Newell has just been a bit stop-start, he has had a foot problem and then a hamstring problem. "If I had both of them fully fit then probably not but we are still keeping our eyes and ears to the ground to see what's out there."

Sunday, 2.15pm on the BBC. To be officially announced tomorrow.

Yup. Little football on show from either side. One great effort from Main aside, there's been nothing of note.
