Personally I don’t believe he will do as well there. There is also the financial uncertainty at Dundee United which could see pressure on them to cut costs down the line. They look to be making the very same mistakes and spending money they don’t have and that rarely ends well. From a football perspective its a backwards move and he may well look back and see his time here as the best spell of his footballing career, but of course he will be able to do that while raking in more money which is all this is about.

Is this because of the new Covid rules?

Tony Watt will fail at Dundee United. Bookmark this and tell me I'm right in 12 months

Two more random thoughts from the game. 1) For the "we always struggle against teams like Livi" brigade, I read this morning that in our past 22 meetings, we have won 16 and drawn 4. 2) The pitch is in great condition.

I don’t care what anyone thinks, if a player (no matter if you believe he always gives 100% or not) has signed a pre contract with a rival team, his head will be on securing his future, maintaining his fitness…. Eg not getting injured ,, therefore in my view he will not be running through walls for Motherwell. if we can get money for him in January…. Six figures would be great.. we should get rid of him. Either that or he’ll be a wage thief until his contract expires in June. i get the feeling GA won’t be too keen to play him either(rightly imo) so I just don’t see the point in him winding down his contract. Not that I’m too interested in watt or dundee Utd but it does them no favours either. He’s not exactly a guy who keeps himself in peak fitness, sitting on the bench will make sure he adds the excess pounds he had last year and probably make him slower than he is already. We’ve lost way better players in Tony watt and I won’t shed any tears with him leaving. He’s done fine for us and we’ve been good for him but if he wants to kiss another badge and fawn false love for another club all over social media good luck to him.

Spot on, he turned down our new offer and found a better one elsewhere so he's done nothing wrong in my opinion. We could get some cash for him in the January window, depends how desperate untd are to get him in, but for me we should knock back any offer and keep him for the season it's not good business to move on your top scorer to a close rival team mid season

Exactly move him out in January, we don't need his distraction. We must concentrate on players who do want to play for us and win a place in the squad. I'm reasonably confident his departure will be negated by the current squad and some January arrivals. He's history and joins the Gallagher, Hastie , Cadden, Tait and Wishart list of cunts who left leaving a bad taste in the mouth and suitably boo'ed every time he plays against us. Hope he's as successful with UTD as Gallagher is proving with Aberdeen. I'd really piss myself if UTD ended up in the play offs or even worse. Id have Tom Boyd on the cunts list but he left in an appropriate manner but has become a huge cunt since.

Robinson at the end of his tenure bemoaned our ability to be streetwise and see games out, one of the things that ultimately contributed to the end of his time here. We did everything in that last 5 or 6 minutes that we couldn't do/weren't doing just over a year ago. That was unbelievably easy in stoppage time.

Connor Shields is well capable of contributing against Livingston. Hopefully KVV and Wooly step up.

Can't see it happening, as Bruce Forsyth once said 'you get nothing for appere.....not in this game ' , grizzlys Christmas cracker jokes have started, sorry folks

I know this will look like I'm picking on you, but: I work in Glasgow Royal Infirmary and pre-pandemic the ICU capacity was 20 beds, technically 15 ICU beds and 5 SHDU, when Covid first hit we expanded into two other areas giving a potential capacity of 36 beds. We also doubled the available ventilators from 16 to 32. The maximum number of Covid patients we had was 19 with 10 of the original 20 beds left available for non-covid patients. Currently there are about a dozen patients in ICU, two of which are Covid, the overflow areas are still set up if required. I cannot speak for all the other ICUs in Scotland but I would be astonished if they had not taken similar steps. I do agree that a lot of other conditions are, whilst not being ignored, are not receiving the urgency they require. I also agree that successive governments have treated the NHS in a disgraceful manner.
