Do you know for certain that McInnes hasn't spoken to Pawlett in a more suitable setting to let him know what he really thinks? i.e. away from the glare of the media Of course I don't know, I'm all for a manager protecting a player in the media when it is warranted but for him to back a player in public and berate him behind closed doors would be hugely hypocritical and in my opinion hugely unprofessional

"The Andy Barrowman Goalmouth"

Surely a new manager would want to enforce to his players that these sort of shenanigans would play no part in his regime. All he has done is pave the way for his players to do it again. Epic fail for McInnes on this one if you ask me

Thanks rainbow, I kind of suspected there would be cases like that where the '' I know best '' syndrome would play it's part. Something else to be looked at when the revolution starts!! Maybe one day, possibly not in my lifetime, fairness and honesty will return to the game I sincerely hope so as diving and running into players to fake a foul is rife in the game as well as shirt pulling, elbowing and even punching whilst jumping to head the ball. Bye the way what happened to the old obstruction rule? that appears to have disappeared altogether.

Did you actually watch the game last Saturday? Nick Ross added much needed pace to the team and we were 3-0 up in 30 mins. As much as I like OTJ he hasn't been that brilliant since the split has started. Richie played OTJ's position very well. I liked having Josh Meekings at RB because he got down the wing and provided some decent crosses into the box. I don't think Chris Hogg put a foot wrong. The penalty for Motherwell is nothing to go by as the player who got the penalty was later booked for diving then sent off. Same team for me with a few changes like David Raven at RB and Meekings and Hogg at CB.

i smell a poll. i vote for ''the andy barrowman goalmouth!'' as stated above.

Should be a good turnout! Lots of folk will be there to see Red Card come on as a super sub.

Do it with the same wage budget as us?

There are times when players go down too easily but where there is clearly contact. In those cases it is genuinely difficult for referees to be sure whether it is a foul or not, far less whether it is simulation. Pawlett's dive was obvious and there can be no excuse for it. The chances are that Dundee were doomed in any case, but that is not the point. If we are to have games won on merit, then cheating in all its forms needs to be severely punished - not just in the game it occurs in but with a small points deduction on top. If that was to happen the clubs would soon make sure their players played by the rules and the game would be a lot better for it
