That rule only kicks in if we are 1-0 up with 5 mins left.

Watch the highlights, that Bawbag madden is staring right at the keeper, who clearly has 2 feet over the line before the ball is hit, no need for input from the lino for that one, pen saved and no retake it's a feckin disgrace.

So every time there is a corner in a game and the defenders have handfuls of shirts etc right in front of the referee who does nothing he should be awarding a pen..OK then. Stevie G is on TV just now defending it his words were " there was a shirt pull but whether it was enough for a pen is the refs decision " so even he was not convinced. It must have been a serious shirt pull right enough as it affected Sakala's balance judging by the way he fell down It was a bullshit decision just like ours not the first and won't be the last.

Have a look at the "alleged penalty" they got to rescue a point on Wednesday night against Aberdeen you know when Stevie G was on the radio defending it that it was never a pen. There are numerous examples in recent years, of similar incidents, they get more than their fair share.

It's an absolute certainty that if we are a goal up late in the game, or Rangers are only 1 up they will get their usual dodgy penalty to ensure their win or rescue a point.

There is more chance of Motherwell winning the champions league than getting an apology from the SFA, referee's and other officials are answerable to nobody, they could make a James Hunt of it every week and they would still get games. The SFA refuses to accept any criticism of match officials, so no free speech for any club officials. The whole set up is a shambles the SFA / SPFL is not fit for purpose and needs a radical overhaul, the introduction of VAR would be a start as it would put the referee's under closer scrutiny but I won't be holding my breath waiting for that.

You can't have one without the other, the top players all command large transfer fees with large wage demands to match.

So you think the lino was 100% certain both Kelly's feet were off the line from that distance, so a retake was correct, ...okay then.

Only 1 contender for me Tony Watt, special mention for Kelly for his saves at the end the rest were brutal.

So you think the linesman can see clear daylight between the line and Kelly's left foot from that distance and through a post ..feckin no chance a total bullshit decision, and anyone who thinks it was a pen in the 1st place is talking shite running into a defender who never moved an inch and just falling down is not a foul. That aside we should have seen the game out so for me 2 points chucked away, but joint 5th after 11 games at least 5 points better off than the same time last season is a very good start so onwards and upwards.

Off the line, His hand nearly hit the post when he saved it ffs a total bullshit decision to order a retake plus it was never a pen in the 1st place Sol never moved and the St Mirren player ran into him, Madden is a total bawbag of a referee.

All the years I have followed Motherwell, and Cliftonhill is on the list I've never been to I have that pleasure to look forward to

I only intend going to current league grounds no national league, Highland league, lowland league etc so unless a team from the non league gets promoted to the football league I won't be visiting them. The aim is to get all 134 done then after that it's only maybe 4 or 5 to pick up each year due to promotions etc.

Only current league clubs counted 42 in Scotland and 92 in England, so 134 obviously there will be a few new grounds added each season due to relegation etc from league 2 in each country . I might expand it to cover the Welsh and NI leagues if I have the time.

I got the impression Parker was signed more as a rehabilitation exercise for him with a chance to restart his career after a though time, not sure if he was ever in GA's plans as a 1st pick, but that said would not be surprised if he did move on.

That's a shocker a fully trained and UEFA licensed pro coach, ex player with lots of experience in football not listening to what the fans think about his tactics and player choices each week, where will it end

St Mirren currently beating Rangers 1-0 and looking good for it, moves us down to 7th Normal service resumed now 2-1 Rangers

I doubt I'll see him, he's not playing for a league side last heard of at Chorley fc, National league North

Aye I'm following Craig Clay around the country, ok then eventually I'll see all of the ex well players at whatever club they're at now, so let me know your favourites and I'll keep you posted

Not at all mate, just being honest I'm enjoying it as well.

I know it's childish and immature but it's harmless fun life would be boring if we all liked the same things, but its stimulated a much more healthy debate than just talking about Tony Watt as per the thread title

Aye the standard was not the best, on a par with Scotland v Faroe Islands the other week, least I had a couple of decent goals to liven it up, oh and the steak pies were awesome.

Correct, was at Barrow last week watching them play Orient, in League 2 great day out ex well player Craig Clay still looks a decent player for Orient. Each to their own and for me that's not going to international games, still loads of grounds to visit.

Nah I am as much a proud scot as anyone but I never could get into all the Tartan Army and "were on the march with Ally,s army " stuff never been to a Scotland game in my life and have seen nothing in the current team that would encourage me to go and see them. I put my efforts into following Motherwell and finishing off my bucket list item to watch a match at every league ground in the UK, all 134 of them, probably about 30% complete now.

From the SPFL rules I28 A section of the ground must be reserved for supporters of the Visiting Club and any tickets for League Matches and Play-Off Matches must be distributed on that basis. Details of these arrangements should be publicised by the Clubs concerned in advance. No specific numbers or percentage mentioned
