In the premiership games that don't involve the uglies VAR will operate and there will be the usual early dodgy calls, but in general nobody will notice or care if Motherwell or any other team were denied a goal or gave away a penalty etc. But be prepared for the media and social media shit storm that every foul, corner kick, potential penalty or goal given/ disallowed will generate for every game the uglies play. They will want every tackle examined and will be on screaming about how VAR is not fit for purpose every time a call goes against them. I think it will eventually improve the refereeing in Scotland and the game in General but the 1st few months will be interesting viewing.

4 champions league games, no points -15 goal difference out of their depth and outclassed in every game, an embarrassment, and the worst defensive record of all the CL teams, but who else has the fear for Sunday I know I have now

We've been saying that for years in games against that mob, coming close in the league a few times but never managing it. The winless league run has to end sometime, so why not now. If we can ditch the " beaten before we start attitude " we have had on numerous occasions playing them and get right in about them we have a chance. They are a good side but nothing special so here's hoping SH has the team motivated.

A brilliant video highlighting the real tragedies some of our supporters and their families have gone through and the work the club does to support mental health in Lanarkshire, we are a true community club , and really set an example of how other clubs should be operating and helping there own communities. And as Flow says in the video if it helps saves 1 persons life its all been worthwhile, we are a club the fans can be truly proud of.

Scottish football will never get a decent TV contract because in reality nobody wants to watch it, Sky, BT , Premier etc are only interested in the ugly sisters, as those 2 have a potential worldwide audience, you won't see foreign football fans settling down to watch the likes of Ross County v Motherwell live from Dingwall. In European terms the uglies are Diddy teams regular qualifiers but never feature in the latter stages apart from odd great run every decade or so. Their regular qualification means Scotland gets spots in the qualifiers for the Europa and conference leagues but the teams very rarely if ever make the group stages, and even when they do they are so far off the standard required it's embarrassing at times. 9 euro games played by Scottish teams so far thus season and its 7 defeats, 1 draw and 1 win, this week all 3 were so outclassed by their opponents it was embarrassing . Scottish football is what it is though, its great to have a Euro away day, but in reality most of the Scottish clubs are out before the next season starts, and probably that would apply to the uglies as well but for the ridiculous and corrupt Uefa policies to keep the big teams happy and let them into the EL and ECL after getting papped out of the champions league etc.

My fault I assumed they were in the main stand as I could not see any away fans behind the goals in the highlights but realised they were right in the corner when I saw better view of KVV's 2nd goal I think but agree a shite view to give fans with all that space available.

I'm not sure how many well fans made the trip up to Dingwall last night, but clubs like RC are happy to have the ground full of Ugly sisters fans etc with all the revenue that generates. when it comes to a few hundred well fans, they are not going to open the larger stands, pay energy costs, stewarding etc so they will get squeezed into the smallest space available, which I presume was the corner of the already open main stand. It's all about costs, Motherwell have done the same over the years, ie not opening the South stand and putting small numbers of away fans in the end of the POD nearest to the Cooper stand.

No excuses we need 3 points from this one, will take 1-0 but more goals would be a nice bonus

Tierney warming up for the Celtic game

Not controversial at all, my thoughts as well.

It's a free hit, anything we get is a bonus, as I said before Celtic are very rarely if ever bad or off form 2 in a row domestically so I have the fear for this one.

We have experienced midfielders in Slattery, Goss and Spittal, who since SH took over have in all honesty looked different players. And as for CB's we have Lamie, Mugabi and Johansen who are ok, but you stick with the negative agenda and look for issues, it's what your good at the rest of us will ignore you that's what we are good at

Stop talking shite we wont be anywhere near a elegation battle this season. Penny at LB is an upgrade on Carroll or mcginley , Moult is an upgrade on Shields, McKinstry is an upgrade on McGuire in Midfield, and the big keeper we signed Oxborough is allegedly a better keeper than Fox. So the team has been strengthened and improved in all areas, and combined with the tactical changes SH has made we look a much better team, the goals will come.

Not commented on this recently but bottom line is a 96 year old woman died, sad for the family etc but it happens every day, should the country grind to a halt over it, no it should not. Let those who want to pay respects etc do so but normal life should go on, have a minutes silence, wear a black armband etc but the football games and normal life should go ahead. I'm on holiday these 2 weeks and so glad I am out of the country while this circus is going on the whole response is well over the top.

The topic should be about the Ross County game only, if people want to discuss all of tbe political shite then create a new thread elsewhere for them and move all the irrelevant comments to that, is that not what the mods are supposed to do?

Seen some chat online about the next 2 weeks domestic league games being postponed, nothing official though, presumably we will get confirmation from the SFA/SPFL tomorrow.

The blue uglie fans must be suicidal, there team gets back to back 4-0 pumpings and the Queen is on her way out, not a good week for them.

It seems the SFA and the SPFL are in favour of clubs rearranging kick of times to earlier in the day to stop using floodlights and save on the leccy bills. Scottish FA & SPFL both open to kick-off moves to help amid energy crisis - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62812723

The sizing for this year's kit is a joke, I'm normally a 1x or 2x depending on the make, the new training top was a 4x to fit me chest wise but it's length is more like a dress ffs, same with the sleeves on the 1/2 zip training top the arms are sized to fit an Orangutan, they're so long. I don't know what size or shape of person or creature macron use as their sizing guide but it's time they reviewed it.

Yes you would think so but that assumes there have been the same sort of incidents spread over all of the other teams to give the refs a decision to make but that might not be the case.

The refs are getting ready for VAR, as when that's implemented it's a sure thing there will be more reviews and probably more penalties awarded, as a result.

So as well as talking shite, you are now an authority on mental health and making up blatant shite about how KVV feels, as if the guy did not have enough problems, without dickheads like you analysing him, you really need to have a look at yourself.

Tierney for me, he is starting to show that there is a player in there, looking like an important part of the team going forward, always looked a threat today

For me it was a decent attempt by KVV placement was good, he hit it hard enough but instead of getting it up high or down in the corner it was easy save height for the keeper and he guessed the right direction.

Have a day off ffs aye the whole team could come down with covid, or millons of other scenarios and we'd have to play the boys, does anybody else think that's a risk no, so stop talking shite.
