No one will put a decent offer in for him . He has reverted to type, a fast striker in the wrong place and always on the wrong foot and a yard short in position.
He was lucky to be in a good team playing well to score the goals he has . Won't be missed.
Said this weeks ago and you'd have thought I had committed a mortal sin.

Having seen some of the video clips, I’m not sure how VAR amd Beaton can be 100% sure he played the ball with his hand. For me the big clue is how the ball went out for a throw, the flight of the ball would strongly suggest he headed it.
I think the ball may have hit his hand but his hand is there because the Celtic players shoulder pushed it into that position as he jumped and his upward momentum pushed Sparrows arm up. Therefore it's not a penalty.

We have indeed been on the wrong end of very poor refereeing decisions, tonight's being the worst by a country mile.
I agree we've been falling short. However, even if we finish 5th, which I think we will, it will have been a great season and the team will have achieved way above my expectations.
A great season compared to other seasons, without doubt, but not compared to the high standards we've set and produced for 90% of this season. To potentially end behind a bog standard Hibs team is frankly a very poor return for this season, irrespective of how it compares to other season.

I know it was frustrating tonight, but I have seen us end the season, 2nd, 3rd and 4th multiple times, qualify for Europe multiple times, and even win a cup at the end of a season. Not to mention Craig Reid day at Pittodrie.
If you're expecting that every season, of course, you'll be disappointed, but if we didn't win important games we'd be fighting St Mirren for 11th.
Every game is important , I talking about games that can define our season. To finish 5th for the football we've played and the standards we've set is frankly a miserable return. Sure if we measure it against previous seasons 5th is terrific but that's not our benchmark our benchmark has been our standards throughout this season and frankly the possibility of being pipped by a Hibs team who have been nothing special this season is pretty poor ending in my book.

No danger, season ending on a whimper. Hibs will be so fired up for this and I just don't think we've got it in us when the chips are down. Hope I'm wrong but it would be such a typical Motherwell way to end the season.

We've competed very well tonight, I won't say anything about the penalty until I see a replay, but 3 wins in 19 against the Top 6 isn't good.
Off the top of my head I think we won 7 last season and we didn't even make the Top 6 so that was in less matches.
We've been on the end of some very poor refereeing decisions recently but at the end of the day you still have to find a way to win.
Also on a 1 win in 9 run right now.
Feeling pretty scunnered, this is a season that promised a lot but it's ended poorly.
Really need to get the result we need at the weekend.
Correct, it has been a great season but we can't ignore some very obvious facts. When the chips are down we've come up short. We need to bury that stat on Saturday but I'm not convinced, it would just be typical to end our season in 5th having been 4th for so long. One win in 9 is poor irrespective how the games have actually panned out.
-
Our record in crucial games this season is poor.
LC Semi Final Lost to shite
SC Lost to Shite
Chance to all but seal Europe draw with Hearts
Chance to secure 4th Lose to Celtic.
We just can't seem to get these game over the line. I don't fancy us against Hibs at Easter Road.

Imagine the season we've had and we are probably going to end up hoping Celtic win the Cup.... Pissed off doesn't come close.

I'd agree. One win in 9 just isn't good enough

Gap with Hibs now 1 point. I got a feeling 4th is gonna be fucked.

Only cloud for tomorrow is Welsh will not be playing, hope the injurys clear and the other lads step up again.
I suspect SOD and Gordon will be the central defensive partnership. They have a big ask tomorrow but who knows. I do think VAR will play a part and not to our benefit.

Given he knows more about the context of missing players, late changes and things we worked on, maybe he does believe the players were outstanding.
He may well do , all I'm saying is I disagree. We have set some genuinely outstanding benchmarks this season and Saturday wasn't one of them. I just happen to disagree that we were not outstanding , it's not a criminal offence to disagree with the manager.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's saying. What's the use of pointing out any technical, tactical or performance issues in an interview?
Wouldn't expect him to a simple, we worked hard were defensively sound and worth a draw.

Any game we dont lose, we are outstanding, especially against the potential champions tonight, we were always trying to get forward and were in their faces, and looked threatening when we did, we defended very well, Ward never had a difficult save to make even when Hearts were pressing hard we looked solid.
So all in all i think an outstanding performance is a fair assessment of how the game went
We need to agree to differ on what we see as outstanding

Not the word I would use either but perhaps from the point of view of digging in and not getting beat? I’d say that’s the best I’ve seen Hearts play against us this season.
It was and the worst we've played against them. We were due a slice of luck against them.

He'll be working on the issue in training, but I'm all in favour of managers backing their players in public.
We might not have been at our best, but we found a way to get a point against a Hearts team that's very difficult to play against.
I'm not saying he should slate them but there's no way we were outstanding .

Can't agree with the manager that we were outstanding.

Rangers who've lost their last two games against the top 6, and might well lose three in a row tomorrow? Don't think I'll be taking anything for granted there.
In this league this year you can take nowt for granted but if you are neck and neck with another team you'd rather they faced one of the OF than anyone else, even as shite as Rangers are.

Oh it certainly is , if Rangers beat Hibs on Wednesday doesn't matter a fuck what we do against Celtic. 4th is ours

As for VAR......
We are due some luck against them they've had it all season against us.

I'll take it but my god that was shite

Hearts picking up every second ball if we see this 8 mins out I'll be amazed . This is painful to watch

We have been pish, final ball shocking

We are riding our luck this won't last , really poor from us , disjointed, passing poor .
Hibernian v Motherwell 16/05/2026

It is, it would have been a travesty if a bog average Hibs team had pipped us. Until the sending off we were in total control, real nice football. Final ball only thing missing. We've had some amout of officials rule against us this year. Would be great of we could keep the manager and most of the players for one more crack at some silverware. However we've got to be realistic. Well done to everyone at the club for absolutely the most memorable football I have witnessed in 50+ years. Also a huge well done to every Motherwell fan who has responded at the gates. It could have been quite easy not to buy into it early on but 90% of us did and stayed with it. To go from 5500 average crowd to 8600 in one season is frankly astonishing.
