Ya Bezzer!

While that's true I've seen poorer Motherwell sides than the present one beat better Celtic sides than the current one. Personally I think players are too lazy and don't have the heart for these types of games these days. Players these days just don't want to extend themselves. They are happy in their place and are fine picking up a wage for mediocrity. That doesn't sit well with me.

Two out of three matches in the domestic league this season Celtic have dropped points to a team playing 4-3-3. Kilmarnock and Rangers. OK, Rangers are a level up but if Kilmarnock can do it? People go on and on about formations but I think most of the time formations are smoke and mirrors. You either perform or you don't and it seems like we haven't again against the OF.

I think this can join a list of things I'm pretending didn't happen this week.

Literally wake up, check my phone to see what time the game is and we are already 2-0 down. Assuming it's still only 2 as since gone for a piss.

Why my career as a right back never came to fruition.

Good to see the introduction of the not good enough, never a midfielder Barry Maguire wasn't a large enough handicap to prevent us winning the last two matches.

Even when we've won there there's not been too many good performances and then you add the wind into the mix along with the terrible surface. We should probably think ourselves lucky fans aren't allowed in on a day like this. Livvie's home form is all over the place, take a point off Rangers, lose to Accies, we won our last away match but before that it was poor. Livvie do usually score so if we are going to take anything we are going to continue our recent form in front of goal.

That's fine and all and your personal preference is entirely down to you but the main issue is still that people have paid for entry but wouldn't be getting in despite a lifting of a supporter ban. OK, it's very much a hypothetical question as I don't see restrictions being lifted in Lanarkshire for a while but I just wonder what people would feel about that.

So the club expects fans to pay for season tickets but then not let them in as it's an inconvenience? I didn't buy a season ticket this season mainly due to having no income myself but also never really expecting to actually see a game. However the club did encourage fans to buy season tickets with various 'perks' as if they would be able to attend. I wonder how season ticket holders that did pay for a ticket will feel if there is no government restriction to attending (even if it is restricted numbers) but the club decides against doing so. Personally I wouldn't be very happy about that but since I didn't buy one it's not a problem for me. Over to you guys.

ONE DAY LATER....

He joined the only team he could ever score against..

When Rangers and Celtic are battling out this 10 in a row thing I think it's unlikely teams will be awarded 0-3 results if they can't field a team and even if it does come in I foresee all sorts of shenanigans if it effected the bigger teams. I mean they have bigger squads but as we've seen all it takes is a few players in different bubbles to be infected and that knocks a lot of players out of contention. Also, I think some of our supporters need to realise that Covid is probably more likely than not to visit our doorstep at some point and that it's entirely possible we could be relegated because you are introducing a very random factor into which teams pick up points over the season. Then on top of that there is the whole thing of teams having already had games postponed, rescheduled and played. The whole thing is not so much a can of worms, as a can of vicious cobras. It might be that awarding results is the only way forward, I don't really know, but I see big trouble brewing.

Only St Mirren have scored less goals than Ross County and ourselves. And Ross County and Motherwell have the worst shots on target record in the league. Based on the contrarian nature of football expect a 6-5 victory for one of the two.

I'm not saying you are wrong but I have it in my head that Doncaster said there was 3 free slots in the schedule when he was interviewed on the radio at the start of the season. Even so it's going to be tricky negotiating the winter. I think it's entirely possible we'll have a second season in a row that's not completed and given the stakes at the top of the league I'd imagine there is going to be carnage at the SPFL if that does transpire.

Would take Danny Johnson over any of our current strikers.

Christie didn't get into the Celtic team right away and now he's their best player (at least while Edouard is in the huff). There is a huge gap between our level and their level and there aren't many players that can bridge it without a period of adjustment.

I wasn't sad to see Cadden go. The guy went backwards at a rate of knots after his injury and never really fitted into Robinson's style of play. He's a trier but his ability as a footballer was draining away and I think we should at least aspire to bring in a better standard of player. It won't always work out that way but I'm prepared to accept that rather than settle for mediocrity.

Quick Google search brought these up so at least 6. https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/league-one-game-postponed-after-positive-covid-19-test-2991848 https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/grimsby-town-coronavirus-league-two-19015559 https://www.espn.co.uk/football/tottenham-hotspur/story/4187941/carabao-cup-tottenham-clash-with-leyton-orient-postponed-due-to-positive-covid-19-tests https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54525749

Don't know why people think it hasn't been. There's been a bunch of postponed fixtures in England.

You've got to worry about the season even at this stage. If we see a Covid upsurge during the winter months that matches that usually found with other viruses it's going to be very difficult to complete the season.

Motherwell McDonald's has closed now and is only doing home orders. Maybe that's cleared it up a bit for you.

UK has 42,445 total deaths and 14,542 new cases yesterday from a population of 67 million. Germany has 9,635 total deaths and 2,462 new cases yesterday from a population of 84 million. Yes, it's different in different countries.

You know fine well all teams in the league get money on a sliding scale, you don't have to win League One. And that on top of that they have other income revenues. Every decision made by the Government right now is a fine balance of economic, political and public health related considerations. The best message that the Government can put out there instead of explaining every decision in it's full complexity is to say that's it's just not safe and for everyone to accept that and that, while a difficult situation, the Government has to make hard decisions for the public health of the country....not mump and moan when you've already been given special dispensations, espouse completely ignorant opinions with no understanding of virology or come up with demented conspiracy theories and Trumpisms. At the end of the day there simply isn't a case for re-opening grounds as long as Covid is exponentially rising again as it is right now, regardless of what to you "seems pretty low risk". Everyone knows that the pandemic has to be brought back under control now before the winter months come in so it's not going to happen and pundits, league officials and even punters are being highly irresponsible in going public with their descension. It's hard enough right now without the weight of a mass of idiots pressing on the gates.

Prize money for winning League One is £125,000. What pub gets a six figure sum prize if it's open and doesn't serve a customer? The situation is far from ideal but football has revenue sources outside of match day customers and if the worst comes to the worst it's easier for the SPFL or the Government to support a couple of dozen part time teams than it is to bail out the entire national hospitality business.

But how come you can do this and that but not go to the football...blah...blah...blah. It's called risk management. Football has TV revenue and other revenues that allows it to operate. Pubs, cinemas and shops don't and won't exist if they don't open. So what you going to do? The government has to make very difficult choices right now. It knows people going to the pub will catch Covid but it has to weight that against the entire hospitality industry collapsing. It knows people will catch Covid from school kids but it has to weight that against the effect of suspending education and of school closures. It knows university students will catch Covid but again it has to weight up the possibilities of universities going bust. Has it always made the right decisions? Probably not but this is an unprecedented situation and maybe alternative decisions produce other or even more serious problems. Opening up football stadiums right now simply doesn't add up in terms of risk and if football thinks it's being hard done by it needs to take a look at other sectors of the economy. This season was always going to be a write off for fans. Honestly I'm kind sick of people in football moaning about it. Everyone knows that this winter is potentially the worst the virus is going to get, so buckle in cos this thing could well get worse. What the football authorities should be concentrating on is getting this season completed, no getting fans into stadiums.
