Weird call by the ref. Why let the play go on

At first I thought he stuck his hand out but then on seeing replay it hit his upper arm which was pretty well close to his body.

Relegation luck for Livi on that one. Harsh call on the Livi defender. Just our turn I suppose to get the call.

THEO !!!!

Soft pk

I don’t think he’s disinterested. Just not playing as well as he did in that purple patch where everything worked for him.

I agree with you in theory but mathematically we would still not be 100% safe although it would take some freaky results

3 points here virtually assures our safety due to county still to play St Johnstone and our much better goal difference. I imagine Livi will be fired up for this as they try to avoid automatic relegation. I’d like to see us give Bair more support as a team and would really like to see him bag 2 or 3’goals to lift him up the top scorers chart and get us 3 points. COYW!!!

I have to give up and say “I don’t know the handball rule anymore” the only reason we should have got a penalty for Aberdeen handball was to align with earlier decision to chop our goal off. In my opinion neither of them were penalties. Why don’t we go back to good old days of awarding penalty for deliberate hand ball then the decision just has to be did the player make a deliberate effort to handle the ball. Get rid of arm position or making yourself big

I’d pick more obvious injustices/errors to fight. While the sportscene crew were agreeing with MFC I think there were still a number of opinions that a red was correct, even within the Motherwell support. My viewpoint was that it was never going to be overturned and that it was a reasonable call. Perhaps another ref may have went with yellow but I can understand the red. Anyway done and over now and we just have to get on with it. COYW!!

I stand corrected!

I think the obvious option is to put Bevis up front on his own, move O’Donnell to left wing back, push Casey wide right, have Bair at centre back with Gent in central mid and that should ensure victory

Similarly, if a player dives in and clearly tries to kick or hurt the opponent but the opponent manages to jump clear, that can still be a red card even although no contact.

Not surprised.

For me Vale’s challenge falls into a grey area and could have gone either way yellow or red. The ref showed a red and I don’t see that being changed. Some incidents are a stick on red and some are never a red so as mentioned I don’t think Vale’s challenge fits either of those phrases

Not Spittal.

Ok how many old farts heard the tune in their head when they read that?

Nah, I’m pretty sure it was a corner

Jinx!

Did the commentator just say welcome back to the ACTION???

All of them you can see,in seconds, there is no penalty. Apparently though, they scour replays trying to find something. That part of the big issue with VAR, they scour and dig instead of just looking. Inwas able to tell each time in about 2 seconds what took them ages to figure out.

Having an off day today. Our passing is off in general. Picking some of the right options but then not able to execute the passes.

Don’t have to go that far back…… Chapman!!!

Where did you see that about Slattery?

I’m hoping there’s some work going on behind the scenes to get Gent and Vale back here, one way or another, for next season.
