I think the actual rules are out the window now anyway. Whatever penalises Motherwell seems to be the way things are interpreted at the moment.

Stonewall penalty for us denied, fantasy penalty for St Mirren given without a moments hesitation. Awful refereeing by Madden as usual.

No, why would the team who scored be penalised because the goalkeeper broke the rules? It is only retaken if the goalkeeper saves it as he is deemed to have gained an advantage by stepping off the line early.

Haven’t seen it from a conclusive angle but his right foot looks on (or very close to being on) the line.

Having watched it again it does look as if it came off Turnbull’s left foot last. Well spotted by the officials for a change.

Are the commentators watching the same tackle? One of them states “he’s not even got the ball”. Whit? Mugabe clearly knocks the ball 6 feet in the air and out for a throw in.

Third goal in a row where Liam Kelly has been really poor.

We gifted Hearts 2 goals, one was a penalty and one was a free kick that Kelly should have saved but made a mess of - I don’t see that as mistakes being punished by clinical strikers. The difference today was that Kelly had an uncharacteristically poor 45 minutes that cost us the game. If he did that against any team in this league we’d struggle. We had plenty of the game and the better of the chances from open play so I don’t agree with the chat about Hearts being a level above.

Think you’re going a wee bit OTT here. Those clinical Hearts forwards didn’t score from open play and one of them missed a penalty. Both of their goals were the result of uncharacteristic mistakes from Liam Kelly and when your keeper makes mistakes you’re in trouble. We had a really poor first half but the second was fairly even. We didn’t do enough to deserve anything from the game but I see no reason why we should fear Hearts when they come to Fir Park.

He tried to anticipate where the free kick was going. Poor mistake for a keeper of his quality.

It’s not often he makes a mistake but Kelly has been at fault for both goals.

Brilliant result. Having players with the quality of Watt and Slattery makes a huge difference in games like that.

I thought it looked like McLean was going to let it go until a couple of Rangers players got in his ear and he then decided to book him.

Pleased with a point but totally scunnered at the refereeing. Offside goal, penalty denied and 6 minutes of injury time. Absolutely blatant cheating that I hope doesn’t get overlooked due to us getting something out of the game.

Morelos’ big fat arse, lol

Let’s hope the 6 minutes backfired on them and we sneak it.

Simpson getting away without a booking for the same foul McGinley was booked for in the first half.

Don’t think Goss is on the bench is he?

Apparently it was a planned change so no injury issues.

The vaccine doesn’t guarantee you won’t catch Covid but studies have shown double vaccinated people are 3 times less likely to get it. Also, the vaccinated will potentially be less likely to pass it on due to having a smaller viral load therefor shedding less of the virus.

I’m not sure you know what a fact is.

That was a very poor performance. Very slack, flat and no cohesion at all.

Absolute shambles of a performance so far.

Shields is breathing through his arse. I see Watt is stripped so it’ll hopefully be Shields going off.

O’Donnell was outstanding last night. His attitude and work rate at the end of what must have been a difficult few days were immense. As a Motherwell player keeping a Rangers player out the team he was an easy target but fair play to Steve Clarke for sticking with him and publicly backing him.
