Another inspection at 1pm now. Utter nonsense!

Of course we can. The deal was that he was on loan here until the end of the season with the option of us signing him permanently from the summer onwards. We don’t have to take that option up and if he’s not fit enough then you’d certainly like to hope that we wouldn’t. I suspect he will retire from playing once this season is over anyway so it won’t be an issue.

Chronic stuff again and another cheap preventable goal given away.

Have you actually seen SO’D play for the past three years? If that’s who Scotland turn to to solve their right back issues then God help them. And I love how you refer to Patterson as “The ex Ranger” rather than “the Everton player” which he has been for well over two years now. Is that all you see him as? There must be some amount of mental gymnastics involved in supporting Scotland for those who just can’t see past their hatred of Rangers.

I disagree, his first act as CEO should be collating the head of social media and getting them to remove that dreadful patronising nonsense “we exist to improve people’s lives” from all platforms. That’s what I would do anyway.

Good to hear that we finally have a CEO in place. Best of luck to him.

You’re right it wasn’t a friendly, so I stand corrected on that one. But for me International football is pointless and it is especially pointless not to mention completely disruptive when it forces the real football to stop for an entire week or so during the season. Why can’t they just play these games in May/June in years where there is no World Cup or Euros? And Scotland getting pumped by Holland isn’t going to make many difference to anything, but I will still have a chuckle about it.

Another defeat against this mob I reckon. 0-2

Of course it’ll be a season ended. Our players just can’t pick up wee niggles that keep them out for one or two games.

Get international football in the fucking bin! It’s bad enough we can’t seem to go a few weeks without key players picking up injuries when they’re with us but when it’s playing a meaningless friendly for the National team then it just rubs salt in the wound. I hope Holland pump Scotland tomorrow night as a GIRUY to the SFA.

The club have released a statement “seeking an explanation from the SFA on a number of refereeing decisions”.

I take your point but if a side is only needing one shot at goal to beat us and we can’t get back in the game with over half of a football match still to play, at home, then I’d say that we deserve to lose. It’s fine margins in this league and games like today’s more often than not come down to which side can take chances at one end and keep goals out at the other.

The VAR decision was in the 43rd minute. As harsh as it looked we were already behind at that stage and deservedly so. We then had an entire half of football to get back level but we never looked like we would score. “We don’t have anyone that can convert half chances”. You’re right there. And that is why we lost today and deserved to lose, because if you can’t score goals then you don’t win football matches.

No arguments there, we deserved to lose. VAR is a separate issue, and as I said is ruining football matches.

It’s the inconsistencies with VAR and refereeing decisions that is most frustrating. What you see pulled back one week is let go the next. It’s just scunnering. That said we were awful today. Flat, ineffective, weak in midfield and conceded a poor goal. Just so depressingly predictable.

I prefer to keep it in my pants to be honest, that way I don’t run the risk of being arrested for indecent exposure and all that. 👍

Thank you.

We could play until this time tomorrow and not score.

I know it’s not a popular opinion but we miss Slattery.

It’s been depressingly predictable so far. After beating Rangers at Ibrox the other week following that up with a dismal performance and a loss at home to a poor Aberdeen side was always on the cards.

No wonder. One of the best things about games was celebrating when your team scored. But now you can’t fully celebrate just in case a player who put a cross ins big toe was offside.

Get VAR so far to fuck. It is absolutely ruining football.

Deservedly behind. Been 2nd best and dreadful defending for that goal.

Really pleased for him.

It appears that I and I dare say very few Motherwell fans are surprised to hear this.
