Absolute howler from this angle by the way!!

It was touching to see the 4 perfectly placed Motherwell players turn and run to the ref to point out the huge mistake he was making. 

I guess when you are rock bottom these things always seem to go against you and not for you.

What was a major concern for me on Saturday was how easily our fullbacks were skinned for pace, resulting in crossballs that caused all sorts of problems for OFW, Laing and McCart..

Hopefully we can use the extended break to get both Tremarco and Raven fit again for the last 5 games.

And I see from the highlights that one of them made a half-hearted claim for the goal, and the three nearest did not claim at all. Which should have meant something to the ref.

While the decision for a goal was wrong and OFW did make a save, it doesn't change the fact he was liable for the 2nd Motherwell goal and like many times this year should have done better and been in a better position.

Have to agree OFW looks like a player massively short on confidence and it's a scandal that he is not being pushed for his starting position, due to a viable alternative. If Ryan Esson is not fit to play, why the feck do we keep him on the bench every Saturday. Another player that is unfortunately past his sell by date at this level.

Hmmm  I feel Tremarco sold himself for their first goal,  should have shown him wide, but let the player run inside him, could not catch the bloke as he galloped towards the box to score.

McNaughton needs to be at left back!

Tremarco is a wee donkey.

Have never understood why full backs deliberately show people inside - the likelihood of scoring from the touchline is negligible, whereas the shot is on from a narrower angle. Coaches seem to suggest that you're "forcing them in to traffic", but the centre halves have a marking job to do. The only other reason would be to force them into their weaker foot, but given the expert curled finish on Saturday, that was also flawed. Or was Tremarco just skinned?

Back to work training programme.

If anyone is out of work, have they ever thought of getting a job as a referee, there must be a serious shortage of candidates.

UEFA have to select officials from all Euro nations, it's certainly not that they are any good, far from it they are shyte!
