None of those pictures take into account the perspective of the camera. The only way to tell for sure is if there was a camera on the goal line. Regardless. It wasn't a goal. I can tell because the final score said we had nil.

For me, Ainsworth should be an easy player to manage. Stick him wide right and keep passing him the ball and tell him shoot more often. Just let him do what he does best. I agree his head has already decided he's off in the summer.

I only watched the interview once, but on first viewing I thought it was the opposite i.e. he brought on Ainsworth to add some pace and width to the attack, but we started playing it long instead - which negated the plan.

Didn't vote (as usual), but good to hear Frear is hitting his stride.

In recent times, this fixture has favoured the home team. Hard fought draw.

The one (and only) positive is that it's another game less to play and we are still above the play-off spot. Been saying it since September, though - even with Moult and McDonald we have not been scoring enough goals. It's easy to pick holes in the defence, but we need some support from our strikers too.

The Rangers semi, for some reason, doesn't bother me as much. Probably because it was pretty standard shenanigans for those days. The Texaco Cup defeat was worse. Neither as bad for me as the Airdrie semi, though. That was the first time as a wean that I really felt the buzz of expectation and the misery of defeat.

I still haven't recovered from losing to Airdrie in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final replay. In general, though, with the time differences involved, if we lose on a Saturday I'm over it by the time I have my lunch.

As much as we like to talk about goal difference, I can't remember us ever having to rely on that. It's all about the points right now, and that is 100% up to us. We do need to score more than one, though, as we never win 1 - 0.

A comfortable 3 - 0 win as we pass them off the park and wonder why everybody was stressing out.

If we win by 8 goals I think we go clear into 8th.

Agree with this. The positive is we still have our fate in our hands. Let's keep it that way.

Moult went off injured on Saturday, so it's no big secret. If he was injured training during the week I can see how it makes sense to keep it quiet, but in this case - as Andy_P says - it just means Accies have to prepare for 2 different scenarios.

If any of our central defenders are expecting Samson to come out for it, they obviously haven't been watching any of our previous games. So instead, they'll need to compete with the guy they are supposed to be marking and maybe clear it themselves.

He rolled up on 14th Feb 2015, after which we won 7, drew 3 and lost 6 of our last 16 (including the play-offs). Not brilliant, but not bad - and we'd only won 4 league games since August before he joined us.

Robinson's post match was also good to hear. Set up with a positive approach because what we'd done for the last 20 games "obviously wasn't working" and thought that this "was a game we could win". No coincidence he was involved in the play-off win. Early days, I know, but I'm already a big fan of his approach. He must have been reading the posts on here.

Plus faking the virus he had where he lost about 3 stone. Must be a fan of method acting.

I doubt AFC Fylde were big in Kennedy's career plans.

Our fate is still in our own hands, which is all you can ask for. Well that, plus winning all our games. And a pony.

A few weeks ago, when I pointed out our lack of ability to score more than one goal in a game, was it not you that jumped in to tell me our strikers were doing just fine?

Or, to look at it another way, good job we picked up a point in a game we were red hot favourites to lose.

Obviously I hope we get something from this game, but if nothing else it's great to see a Motherwell manager finally take the game to this mob on their own patch. It won't work every time, but in the long run, it will work more often than our usual tactics.

Unfortunately, we can't exactly hold our commentators up as bastions of sensible patter.

Need to get another goal while we are on top, but there's some definite gegenpressing going on here.
