He wouldn't even have to admit he was wrong. He'd just need to say that from where he was standing it looked like there was illegal contact (or whatever). Nobody can argue with that, and even if video after the fact shows it wasn't a penalty, nobody can dispute what he thought he saw from his vantage point. That way, fans at least get to hear his reasoning, and no admission of error needs to be made. Unfortunately, given we operate in a footballing world where sections of fans vandalise houses and send live bullets through the mail, the chances of level-headed conversation is slim to none.

I remember seeing that stats from last season that we were the only Premiership team who averaged more points away from home than at home. Given there are no fans allowed in, maybe we should offer to play all our remaining games away this season.

At least it avoids the "will everyone get a ticket" panic.

Hope Fortmartine and Annan weren't watching today's Leeds game.

I'm already looking forward to focusing on the league.

To some extent, he'd be putting them wherever the coaching staff told him to put them during their set-piece training.

Mugabi does just fine when he keeps it simple.

On clear chances we should probably be 3 - 1.

I hope that's because you have a bet on rather than for entertainment!

To be fair, that accusation could be aimed at 90% of them, from Gallagher to Long. That's why we are the wrong end of the table.

Aye, he needs to be staying on his feet for that one. Bright start, though. Even Hastie putting in a decent shift so far. Although Watt back to his old tricks of missing our best chance.

If he's still in Portland that's about as close to me as Motherwell!

Sounds like a decent option, and glad the Board didn't take too long given the transfer window is up and running.

Not sure why I'd be bothered watching St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup, but as far as Motherwell are concerned, I've been watching them for about 50 years with zero expectation of winning anything. The best I hope for is some entertainment and at least an attempt at some decent football. I know that doesn't always happen, but if the manager's philosophy is to intentionally adopt a negative anti-football style of play, I would stop watching. I only get to see the vast majority of the games on the MFC stream anyway, and that already diminishes the experience without adding to the misery with donkey ball.

I'm serious. I'd rather watch teams try to play a bit of football and fail than set up to team just to stop the opposition. I have zero interest in anti-football tactics.

I'd rather be relegated than watch a season's worth of St Johnstone-esque football.

That will probably depend on ScotRail.

If I had to guess I'd guess a bridge closure.

He probably insisted on having Isla St. Clair as his assistant. (One for the auldyins)

He picked up the one Chapman let drop through his fingers from his photo shoot.

We've signed Nick Pope as our new keeper?

Ian Clinging's not a bad shout.

Given our track record with management appointees I would not be surprised if there are people we are interviewing who have not been mentioned anywhere.

Brophy has 2 league goals this season, so he'd be a prefect fit with the rest of our low digit wonders.
