I have newspaper cutting from motherwell times as it shows fans coming onto park. I am smack bang in middle, a young 10 Yr old

Ah , wish we could still change ends at half time .

While that is true, he has made something like 24 appearances this season, so it sounds like they are working on his development.

Max has been warming the bench most games and playing second fiddle to Jusuf Gazibegovic. He didn't get off the bench today. Let's hope he kicks on next season.

Congratulations Former Motherwell player Max Johnston and Mika Biereth on winning the Austrian Cup Do we get money because Max Johnston plays for them and was one of our youth players?

It was a 1982 loved the old badge when the team line up came up. also a young Tommy Coyne in that Clydebank team. I’m pretty positive his senior debut was against us earlier that season when we thumped them 7-0

I hear you, but I wouldn't be as kind to the officials. The outcome of the first three independent review panels has shown that the number of incorrect decisions via VAR intervention has increased with each review. Put simply, the longer VAR has been used, the worse its application has become in terms of the decision-making around key match incidents. Scotland’s Coefficient on Twitter provides a useful summary: https://x.com/scotlandscoeff1/status/1785636543811502502?s=46&t=wehikD-exiutCByWu64YEQ

All VAR has done is move poor decision making on the pitch to poor decision making in the VAR booth. So instead of instant poor decisions, we have to wait a couple of minutes for them. The worst is having to wait for every goal to be confirmed. The most important aspect of football has had the spontaneity sucked out of it. I watch a lot of other leagues, including Scottish Championship, English Championship, Irish etc. and not once have I ever thought "that game would have been better with VAR" When there are tight (or even poor decisions) players and fans moan for 10 seconds then are right back at it. Which is how the game should be.

He'll soon be replacing Andy "was playing for Queens Park" Robertson as Max "was playing for Cove Rangers" Johnston in the commentators' phrase book.

I think they know the rules. Its how they are choosing, or being told to interpret them I have an issue with. For me Shinnies hand does come out away from his body and the handball stops us gaining an advantage. However, I dont think he did it deliberately and it was in my opinion entirely natural as he was running. Similar to Bairs at the other end. They either both are, or in a sane world where VAR doesnt exist, neither are. Still doesnt excuse the Ross County decision though. Plenty talk down south from pundits there about binning VAR. Never happening, but clearly not just a problem in our league.

I know what you mean, but we have had a few this season we have let ride. Good to see that our pen claim in the last Aberdeen game was unheld. Not that it helps us much. Personally dont think it was a pen, but they have been given all season.

Besides a crematorium and a Tesco Extra already being built on that land, another portion of the land is also allocated for development in the Local Development Plan, which suggests there may not be restrictions on the site, but who knows?! See allocation H71 in LDP: https://www.pkc.gov.uk/media/45477/Perth-West/pdf/Perth_West.pdf?m=157926405488. Given the likely value of the land beneath and immediately surrounding the stadium, I'd be very concerned if I were a St Johnstone fan.

I would think It all depends on what conditions Mr McDiarmid the farmer who gifted the land to St Johnstone put on the transfer at the time. Maybe there are restrictions preventing it from being used for other purposes etc, so effectively rendering it unsaleable.

It's apparently worth £20 million. There will be a side deal with the Browns to develop it. I'll be surprised if they don't end up with something like the wee temporary stadium Edinburgh Rugby play at.

Nae idea. The guy named is/was involved in Cambridge United purchasing their stadium back, based on what some StJ fans are saying on P&B.

According to Wiki, the 16 acres that McDiarmid Park sits on was worth £400K in 1986. What's it worth now? Will it be sold from under them once/if it all goes wrong?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd1qzn95ez5o Double post but there's St Johnstone's deal gone through. Interesting to hear their terms/valuation.

Given the outcome of the VAR Independent Review Panels held so far, it would appear that the officials don't know the rules either.

Interesting at the end that they've apparently sold a 5% share of the club to Necaxa, as well.

I have to give up and say “I don’t know the handball rule anymore” the only reason we should have got a penalty for Aberdeen handball was to align with earlier decision to chop our goal off. In my opinion neither of them were penalties. Why don’t we go back to good old days of awarding penalty for deliberate hand ball then the decision just has to be did the player make a deliberate effort to handle the ball. Get rid of arm position or making yourself big

I’d pick more obvious injustices/errors to fight. While the sportscene crew were agreeing with MFC I think there were still a number of opinions that a red was correct, even within the Motherwell support. My viewpoint was that it was never going to be overturned and that it was a reasonable call. Perhaps another ref may have went with yellow but I can understand the red. Anyway done and over now and we just have to get on with it. COYW!!

I get what folk are saying about the appeal being a waste of money as we were never going to win it. However, sometimes you just have to make a stand in order to highlight an injustice and support your player. If we just roll over and let these things pass, then we will continue to be ignored and mistreated

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ryan-reynolds-loses-millions-wrexham-29084611.amp Wrexham are 9 million in debt now. They borrowed £6 million in one year. They get fuck all from the TV show.

So, Lennon Miller's "goal" was rightly chalked off. That being the case, Ross County's goal ought to have been chalked off earlier in season?
