Club have now released a statement about this saying they are extremely disappointed at the outcome of this and have asked for written reasons to explain it. Also that they will “liaise with solicitors on any next step”. I’m glad to hear it and also pleased to see a swift response.

Another load of word salad and tired old patter from you as usual, but I prefer to actually look at things as they are. Rangers clearly have more clout than we do and indeed every other club outwith Celtic, but they are not on the same level as Celtic in terms of control, manipulation and running the game through bullying tactics. Certainly not today, in 2026. Derek McInnes has also been citied for comments he made about the very same incident that Elliot Watt has been “put in line” for speaking about. He made those comments on the night of the game whilst still the Hearts manager. I believe his hearing is next week. Now, if what you and the above poster are saying is true then the authorities will surely go easier on him now that he is Rangers manager? Yeah? So, if McInnes gets a touchline ban of anything similar or more than what Watt has been banned for then that would very much fly in the face of the idea that “both of them are equally culpable” and such like? I will watch with interest on this one.

A spirited defence of your big club as usual, but both of them are two cheeks of the same arse, ie equally culpable of everything that is wrong with scottish football.

Absolutely shocking Watt was just saying what everybody else was thinking , and still is

Nope. That outlook is part of the problem and part of the reason why Celtic get everything their own way.

Almost right, except it's run for the benefit of the Old Firm, not just Celtic.

Utter disgrace

Regardless of whether Watt leaves or not we as a club should be appealing this or at least stating an intention to appeal it. While Watt is still our player we should be standing up for him otherwise it will keep happening with other players or employees who speak out and upset the apple cart around Celtic and the way they’ve got everyone dancing to their tune. Start by citing that the then Celtic manager got a lesser ban for comments about the same official in March 2024 and that that ban was subsequently reduced on appeal.

Utterly ridiculous. Presumably we'll now see almost every club, player and manager punished for what they say and do after matches. Unless, of course, they happen to be at Celtic.

He will be but that’s not the point here. The bigger picture is that Scottish football is run for the benefit of Celtic and Celtic alone and anyone who speaks up about it will be censored. Its absolutely scandalous the hold that club have over everyone in the game up here.

Its a feckin embarassment for Scottish football, it would never happen with any of the ugly sisters players, the SFA are a disgrace, but the other clubs wont care so nothing will change.

Its a wild ban, actually outrageous if you think about, luckily he will probably be serving it as someone elses player

https://x.com/ScotlandSky/status/2077759093641769449 Should only be a domestic ban, so I'd imagine he can play in europe. Joke of a decision.

Motherwell star Elliot Watt given huge BAN as SFA punish Fir Park club over Celtic penalty controversy

Just seen 4 game ban for Watt. Is that true? Can he play in euro games or not?

Yes, happy days, before we discovered women, booze and scrabble. Glad you liked the foatie. Though I say it myself, my titfer is quite magnificent 🎩 but the years (and MFC) have taken their toll on mind and body.......

Is the Friday night game going to be on Motherwell TV or just the pay per view option?

Not sure what any possible buyers might offer the player in wages. Do they adopt the approach of low ball transfer fee knowing that the salary offer to the player/agent will be enough for them to become unsettled and then he doesn’t want to play for us so we take the low ball offer?

That was some bus the EK supporters bus. Your new profile photo is so you. COYW

Maybe the source likes succulent lamb and his benefactor has a vested interest in keeping the price down! 😍😍😍

JWFC, totally agree mate. weeyin, normally I’d agree with you also but even by their lazy/low journalism standards, for them to pick the low figure - one that I’ve not seen mentioned - for a player who is widely regarded to have been one of the best midfielders in the league last season is strange.

Somebody makes up a number when posting on twitter. 5 people retweet. Someone on a fans' fourm reads the tweet and repeats it in post. Journo copy and pastes number from the post in transfer rumours article. Somebody quotes the journo in a tweet. 10 people retweet. Another fan posts details on the tweet in a different forum. Different journo posts number from "multiple sources" And that, is how internet "facts' are created.

Scottish newspapers generally have no clue what we are up to these days. Its quite refreshing, even if it is a little frustrating waiting on any real news about our ins & outs......

Guy at work says the scum is reporting that we’ve knock back a bid of £1m for Watt. We’ve been hearing that we’ve knocked back bids of £1.7m for him so where do they get their low figure? Can we now expect them and other Scottish media outlets and pundits to be saying that one of the arse cheeks has offered £1.5m and we should take it?

And, like Elliot Watt, he's part Scottish so a similarly impressive season could see him under consideration for Scotland (if he's willing to switch).
