We arent talking about the survival of the club...we are talking about the idiocy of our office bearers standing for a photo opportunity, flouting the covid guidelines.
Morning , Fair dues, I was back on my hobby horse again
“idiocy “ is ott , they probably got put in a position and went with the flow.
its nothing like drink driving tho, one is illegal...and as you say the other is guidelines , not for people to nick about with measuring tapes and stop watches.
Honestly think , some dudes standing for a snap for a few seconds is minimal risk
Are slow dances at discos still a thing? That’s going to be a big miss....I won’t start a thread for this ...lol

It makes perfect sense...both scenarios are suggesting unnecessary risk
There nothing like each other, there’s definitely no point drink driving ,it’s been shown the devastation it can cause
but if you want to talk about risk and benefits....a minimal risk of transmission in outdoor arenas against the survival of your club
until punters are given the chance we don’t fully know what the risk are but science says much greater risk inside , outside minimal risk but probably until some of the championship clubs go under , we can all keep hiding under the duvet

So by your theory, some random person sitting near you at fir park, coughing etc spreading the virus to everyone nearby is no risk,
Any large gathering of people wherever it is , pubs, football stadiums, walking down the road etc is ideal conditions for spreading the virus.
So until this virus is under control there will be no fans anywhere near stadiums, nothing to do with politics but all to do with public health, simples.
If you’re talking about waiting on a vaccine , it could be years away , that’s probably the only way to control it. People are only going to live like this for so long...If you want to wait years to get punters back then the game is finished

It's only a 5minute drive, it's late at night...it'll be fine
Never knowingly drunk drove so can’t comment on that , so conflating the two scenarios doesn’t make sense

Pubs would be a far higher risk than an outside football park but if the correct controls are in place
...I would be prepared to take my chances in an outside environment, it does not live for long outdoors and is dissipated into the atmosphere...it’s for other people to make their own choices

That's akin to saying, 'I drink drive, but I've never knocked anyone down, so nae harm done'
I’d say it’s more of a quick risk assessment, guys standing next to each other for a 30 second photograph, I’m here to be proven wrong but I don’t anticipate any transmission there...even if one of them was positive.

Read the posts before coming on spouting pish . Right after the Aberdeen game I posted that we had played well and how defended well and attacked with a threat . However you only read what u want to read not afraid to post how I see it and after last night the amount of people saying we played well is unreal but again all about opinions
If you did lad, I never saw it , if you fancy reposting it on this thread , that’d be ace. In general you are usually negative and a bit angry ....you could’ve said I think you are mistaken , but it’s “ spouting pish “ apparently....where’s your class?

Just look what’s happened with the university’s going back.
It’s not inside the grounds that you have to worry about it what fans do before and after games … do you trust them to follow guidelines. Then we take in the old firm they have fans who travel the length and breadth of the country and from Ireland or do we just say only fans within 25 miles of Ibrox and Parkhead can attend games, going to go down well with season ticket holders in Dundee and Aberdeen. Even our limited fan base travel a fair distance Edinburgh,Stirling Ayrshire. Who decides which season ticket holder gets in and how often do they get in ??Do we have to worry about people who go shopping on a Saturday and what they do before and after the shops?
The demographic of the punters is what it is, very varied....need to concentrate on ways to get them back in , not why they shouldn’t be back
licensed premises are responsible for very few transmission of cases,it should be up to people whether they go to them , some will , some won’t . Once they are in the ground , I don’t see the risk.
-
Read something the other day that England had produced figures that showed the vast majority of transmission was in residential settings, e.g house parties....no surprise.
The same article mentioned that pubs etc only accounted for approx 7% of cases.
Thst being said , why the reluctance to let fans back in ....say it again it’s an outside event.
Be good if Scotland could produce figures too....if it proves to be the case that there is a rise in cases on the back of this....then stop them getting back , at least give fans the chance though. Before clubs go bust preferably.
Not following the science that I can see

This forum is so negative! We were put out by a side with a 40,000 seater stadium who can sign players from Porto. We more than held our own for over 60 minutes and with a bit of luck could have scored which would have made it a very different tie.
Also all this roadmap pish, in case you forgot we are in the middle of a pandemic and can’t have fans in the stadiums, I think Motherwell and most clubs worldwide are just thinking about basic survival right now.
End of the day we got a decent wee run in Europe that will have netted the club a wad of cash.
Spare a thought for clubs not in our position who without fans could easily go to the wall. There are far bigger issues out there right now than how we spend £4 million like it’s fucking football manager time!
Bang on Matt....think a lot are forgetting that no bums on seats is eating away at finances. We’ve bagged a wee bit and if we don’t get fans back soon , it’s going to be a godsend. We are going to be in a better position than some .
Better not start on this but we can surely get fans back safely soon.
There’s guys on here , mainly steelboy and yodo who never see the light of day when we get a positive result , e.g after Sunday
On the other hand it is frustrating to get done by two free kicks , used to be Scottish teams stock in trade clearing high balls but we all seem very vulnerable now.
Not convinced it was a pen , he’s pushing into Dec , so he’s got to stand his ground.
Look at the goals a small player like Larson used to score just by good movement.
as Robbo always says games are won and lost in the two boxes, bar the Gallagher chance we never missed any out and out sitters.

We had nothing apart from a free header in the second half. The keppers only save was in the 93rd minute. We never pushed them at all.
Dont get me wrong, we played ok in the first half, but they never broke sweat. Watt worked like fuck. Long can get to fuck tho, lazy moody waste of a jersey
Their keeper had a great save in the first half and there was the long throw that broke to watt.....up to that point we had the best chances

ODonnell is a fucking haddy
He might do till Christmas to solve problem position but has no touch

All about taking your chances at this level. Not like Beer Sheva have been creating loads either but when they did they put them away.
No argument there , Gallagher had free header as did their boy

I have a degree of sympathy on the penalty front, these teams are so street wise its incredible. The referees buy it as well. Saying that, today's was a pen but generally speaking.
Not that it matters but thought the pen was six and half a dozen but he could’ve been off for the tackle before it

sadly we lack quality - lots of players who work hard but little creativity. Can't remember working their keeper or their defence.
We have had 3 decent opportunities in this , so not bad in a European game, bad miss from Gallagher in second half

Annoying thing is this team were there for the taking. Just needed composure and to be switched on which we haven't done. Still too many floaty balls into the box rather than whipped ones.
Dec and O'Donnell looked suspect at times and Lamie from first touch to positional play to decision making is playing at a level above his ability.
Never rated Stephen ODonnell when I saw him with Scotland, he looked well out of his depth....he still looks out his depth at Motherwell.
Can he not just get a decent cross in ?
Gallagher doesn’t look same player as last year...pity tonight, they weren’t great but obviously good enough.

Needs to be a trier cause he ain't no football player
In the wake of a 3 nil win at Pittodrie, that’s the best you can do? Mind you didn’t think you’d be commenting at all ....talking of that has steelheid been on?

Coleraine went from being a top end championship team to being comfortably beaten by a good junior team, lets not forget this same team knocked out Maribor in the last round away from home. Regardless of how far along they are in pre season going over there with the attitude that we should have progressed comfortably is ignorant to say the least. The park was terrible, that brings any side down a level or two, you cannot play football on that. Scotland might not be blessed with great surfaces but that is on par with a council run sunday league pitch. Both penalties looked very soft, the ref gave us nothing all night. We could have been out of sight in the first half and probably should have been but conceding that early penalty makes it a whole different ball game. At the end of the day, it wasn't pretty but we are in the hat for the next round and they aren't.
Great post, that pitch definitely a leveller. They never cut us open and barring 2 dubious penalties, probably wouldn’t have scored.
its ok saying you know the ref was blowing for everything but if players throw themselves in the box, any challenge is risky.
chris Long is not a goalscorer
