Yes and I agree with you regarding officials. It's a different disappointment just now as we are still playing decent but obviously not finishing off. Didn't notice at game but another poster said and I just watched sportscene highlights but maswanhise sitter if he passed to longelo he had another tap in.

On sportsound after game as well they all agreed it was a penalty. Hopefully when the rules are explained to them they will backtrack. Collum will have some explaining to do as it is in black and white.

Obviously don't know rules and to be fair I didn't know either until after the game. But for referees on var with time on their hands not to know is disgraceful. The problem we have just now is every week recently jens has been moaning about decisions but he has imo and to be fair all rest of scottish football other than teams wev been against in the right.

Maybe a wee read at rule book would help yourself and some others.

Cmon you are a wee bit angry for nothing here. Whilst our record against Top 6 is at a minus we have played them all home and away and giving them all really good games which is certainly a big change from sitting on our own 18 yard line waiting to get beat. This tippy tappy football that you and some others have mentioned is the same type of football that has played a lot of teams off the park and the same that is played by our European neighbours when pumping our Europe entries every July. No plan b is another myth. We went to 3 at back against hibs. played with a false 9 against celtic and went longer when byorgolfson was available. Yesterday we had no other players available due to injury and suspension as if we did I'm sure maswanhise would have been wide and we would have attempted long balls to give him 1v1 on the left back. On john McGlynn yes he has done a gd job but he has not done as gd a job as jens as can be seen on the table and if you or anyone who suggests falkirk will finish above us in the table wants a bet with the loser paying to Well Society let's get it on. Put your money where your mouth is as the saying goes.

What about crucial games hibs and falkirk have lost when chips are down. Must have been more than us as they are still behind. A lot of crap on here tonight

A wee bit disrespectful imo. Falkirk won today but still behind us in league. I agree we look a bit lightweight but injuries and suspension to our best players has cost us. The slattery situation and jens saying about sfa has put a target on our back. That penalty today was a nothing thing in the box. We have been good all year and need everyone back for run in to secure Europe. All the moaning tonight so far is disappointing as we are down to bare bones and having to play accordingly

I feel with some saying other teams have sussed us out is very premature. What about us sussing other teams out as Hibs who are our nearest challengers were reduced to not able to do very much against us. With 2 weeks to prepare against a falkirk team that have been sussed out i am sure another victory will be provided. We are disappointed because we never got to previous levels but it is very small margins and if offside goal stands a totally different outcome.

A lot of frustration from myself. Yes a lot of what ifs re red cards etc but let's be honest Jens putting in connelly and Gordon for our biggest game of season was not a good move. Our play this season is built on ward and mcginn welsh/sods keeping ball until time is right to move it. By changing 2 of that 3 to players that haven't been in team was strange. Gordon not good enough on ball and connelly untested. If some say when will he get tested then it certainly shouldn't have been in our up to now biggest game of season. All ifs buts and mibbys and I'm sure Jens will realise he made a mistake in selection but there's no way he can say that as it would ruin players confidence. We know he has been great and I'm sure he will learn from it and we will kick on again. Glass certainly half full here

💯

Grizzlyg you are generally glass half full type and I get your concerns. However if for example. Oxborough who is good at crosses we would not have the same control in games as we would have a man less at back to keep the ball. Our game is all about creating an extra man somewhere and ward like all others in team are a part of that. Also he is organising defenders in front of him and very much part of us keeping clean sheets. On game last night I like most thought the subs for us slowed us down but I would argue the point that we were more in control of game than Falkirk. Still haven came away from a game this season thinking the other team were better than us. A centre forward required in January would be my choice.

We had 5100 last night midweek and freezing so if we can get 6000 that's a crowd of nearly 11000

Same as everyone else in being over the moon with last night. Jens going to a 3 at back with in effect a false 9 is what the big teams in Europe do tactically at times not little Motherwell. I seriously mean this when I say I cannot believe some of the football we are playing. David Gray said we didn't do anything different to what he expected but we changed shape and personnel so his management skills are obviously not fit for purpose. Their 3 defenders did not have a clue what to do as our 3 attackers were dropping into midfield etc etc. Hearts now will be wondering what formation we will play on Saturday and Jens has shown that we can play other ways. I'd have cook at cf on Saturday instead of our recognised centre forwards. He is so mobile and with maswahanise at side and just and slattery behind. Fading er and watt and defense of koutroumbis mcginn welsh longelo. Locking forward to it

Exactly .not really poor didn't think but most chances we have given up. I think our confidence took a knock last week plus astro added to it. But great result and Livi will give everyone a game there. They really surprised me today

I'm same right back looked as if played him onside
