Watching the game I thought that we had a decent shout - by the standards that have been set against us by the referees and VAR - for a penalty against SOD but it wasn’t even show, never mind discussed on Sportscene.
I’ve been thinking for months that he would leave due to there being no renewal chat going around and have previously mentioned it. I’ve believed for some time that he is intent on moving back down south so I’d be very surprised if he does stay up here.
Although he is a great player and will be missed he’s a replaceable player also.
Happy that we’re another 3 points ahead of Hibs but not happy that Hearts won, 2 Hibs players sent off and 2 fucking deflected goals - spawny bastards.
Bit of a punt but not a bad shout. Although he’s never really proven himself at Rangers he has shown signs that there’s a player there but I’d think he’d be looking for more money than we could offer but you never know, maybe he’ll be happy with a smaller wage if he gets game time and is coached to improve.
I suspect what we will be told if it’s even discussed, is that the player on the ground didn’t make much of an effort to head the ball and didn’t move his head much so Welsh was always going to hit him on the head and as such shouldn’t have attempted to hit the ball.
Not saying I think that’s correct just what we will be told as I’ve no doubt that they’ve all spent the last day thinking up a solution to their ineptitude and fuck up.
I keep saying this but foreign referees for VAR and an ex player to give context is what’s needed.
Also if - as McGarry indicates in his article - Motherwell are being refereed to a different standard than other teams then the person to blame for that is Slattery.
I’m not saying that the referees are right but if the article is correct then no cheating, no different standard.
Personally I’m not sure it’s all down to the Slattery incident and more down to incompetence.
If he squares the ball it’s a tap in for Longelo, guys not a team player and is only thinking of a move but that kind of selfishness will put off other teams.
Garbage is what we watched last season, ok we’ve been poor the last couple of games - mainly due to not adapting to teams pushing up on us and some slack passing - but garbage? Think you need to get a bit of perspective mate.
