Great Balls of Shire

Thought Hattie looked more like it in spells yesterday....why has it taken him so long to get fit though?

We should’ve scored at least a couple , as with the Hibs game too. Yesterday the Polworth header and Lang’s chance in first half. Hubs game the ‘“goal “ we scored and Mugabe Header Again the goal we lost was so bloody soft. It’s the oldest cliche in the book tho, if you don’t put them away we are going to look a bad team.

Watched highlights for first time last night. Although the panellists on sportsecene made reference to it , they didn't replay the disallowed goal during the analysis. I think it merited a few replays, if only to embarrass the ref, theres borderline decisions and just plain wrong, that's the latter. Anyway Hibs would probably have won but you need these things to fir you. Also did the Hibs player get booked for the lunge at Odonnell, if he had connected , that shouldve been a red. Noticed St J players at that too, rather than try and match players run, just taking the boy clean out, bit galling when a player can get booked for a mistimed tackle.

There probably wasnt a great deal between the teams until first goal but Boyle is a very good player and his pace troubles most teams. He wasnt a big buy by Hibs and wasnt going anywhere at previous club( Dundee?) It's just finding those one or two nuggets that can make all the difference in this league.

Chalking off legit goals are ones you need to get right, showed a lack of understanding of the game

If he thinks that's a foul he doesnt understand the game.

It's a hard watch at ths minute and I am a Robbo fan.. its maybe one of those years, tomny mclean had them too Imagine somebody being tempted by a higher paid job, you dont even know if that's true tho

That ref makes too many errors.

Funny you should say that, today's game reminded me a lot of the Scottish cup game v Ross County, when they were in first division. We just didn't look at it

Aw right gary holt...wtf has that got to do with Motherwell??

Aye , that's old holty for you though...honourable to the end and a bloody nice bloke too. Who you talking about , Holt???

That tackle by McCann shouldve been red..no attempt to play ball

Looked a dive for pen ...hes def exaggerated it

So between 5 and 20 PC have been in a pub or restaurant and MAY have caught it there, if there are ones who aren't doing the controls properly, by all means, close them. That still leaves between 80 and 95 PC who haven't.. outdoor contact sports also stopped , is there evidence that there have been any transmission from this , genuine question?? House gatherings will continue unabated where presumably the vast majority are occurring ...sledgehammer to crack a nut comes to mind

Fair enough , but if we had figures to indicate where and how transmission takes place, e.g pubs/ restaurants apparently are something like 5% of cases . It would be interesting to know how widely it has been transmitted in an outdoor setting ,therefore with some sort of breakdown, it would be easier to risk assess rather than just stop things completely. if the track/ trace system is working effectively, these figs should be available.

I wouldnt want their jobs either, but just some scientific explanation for not allowing some restricted crowds...I know I am like a broken record but football is played and watched outside

The figures for transmission in hospitality is very low , approx 5% , so it’s a bit of a myth that going to the pub spreads it very much.

If that was true , it could have bigger ramifications than us getting 3 points Nicola Sturgeon could put the boot into football again ... remember her yellow card statement? As someone said at the time if it was a group of lawyers for example, would she threaten the law society?? Anyway hopefully its unfounded rumour and we crack on.

I dont always agree with you but That is a well balanced piece and you could be right , we dont have a special player to pull us up the league ....hopefully not. At least you've made your argument well ...others should take note ...

Yodo and steelboy have been stirred into action...it'll be something negative then

Quite a lot of supposition in that one ...maybe we will be great from Jan onwards and maybe we would have finished third??

So beating Aberdeen 3 nil at Pittodrie was solely down to their goalie? If only the team were as consistent as your negative dreary posts. It's not been great but why dont you see how next 2 games go against teams of a similar stature ...if we were to get beaten in them two, maybe your points will have some credence .

Totally different rangers team , we hadn't been any great shakes prior to that game

I think I am a happy flapper at times but the lad on the commentary Lewis makes me look like mr angry ....could be worse tho

Between grimmy and o'Donnell, we are screwed
