100% agree. Apparently Robertson said '...as a defender, it is almost instinctive not to simply allow a striker to shoot, with “every fibre” telling you to do something to stop him' When you're a professional player I'd expect your instinct not to get sent off for a DOGSO should be well developed.

For an allegedly experienced international defender to make that challenge is inexcusable. I know Robertson was doing his bit as captain trying to explain that it's a defender's mindset to never let anyone past them, but that just made it worse for me. As I've said a few times, I remember Fergie always saying that he drilled his defenders to never commit fouls like that. His approach was that the striker still had to find the target and beat the keeper - and if they did score, he'd want 11 players on the pitch to respond. That's the mindset you should have as a top defender, especially that early in the game. Hope Miller gets a run out soon or he might start looking for an Irish granny.

Aye right. NOW you bring Welsh on.

Nothing to do with grizzly or his jokes, but just in general I think it's a good idea to take regular breaks from posting on any forum - and the international break is as good a time as any. Then come back all guns blazing after our next 0 - 0 draw.

I get the feeling that the Board and/or WS don't want to play the bad cop by dishing out some punishments. That's fair enough after the initial incidents, pointing out the penalities and asking to not to repeat. Now there has been a repeat, however, they need to take appropriate action.

The Well Society doesn't run the club. The Board fulfills those duties.

Unfortunately, that's exactly why we couldn't afford him. Happy to see his continued success, and yet another example we can't point to in our recruitment process.

A season late for Welsh to be starting for Scotland, but still funny that Celtic have no competent central defenders in their squad.

I get that the rules feel petty at times, but you only need to look at Man City to see what happens when you don't have rules - or you do have rules, and the big teams try to circumvent them. It's much easier to have a single set of regulations that everyone has to follow than spend time and money evaluating every one of the hundreds of clubs every week.

I see we have asked them to not do it again. That’s nice.

I think most people are OK with the odd change of kick-off time. The problem is that the TV companies have pushed the boundaries to the extent that 3pm kick-offs on a Saturday feel like a rarity. Looking at our six remaining home matches in 2026, we have one in October, zero in November, and two in December. So exactly half.

Three weeks of shooting practice for the team. Three weeks of moaning on here. Take your pick...

There's no rule about stopping crosses reaching the 6 yard box. The exact wording is: deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. He didn't deliberately touch the ball with his arm, and the position of his arm was a natural consequence of turning away from the ball being hit at him.

Which is a natural position when you turn your back on a player. Try doing that with your arms at your side.

Every week I see a new interpretation of handball I never knew existed. This week - turning your back on the ball when the guy 1 yard away kicks it at you.

Miller starting again for Udinese today.

This is why we keep it a secret ballot. So you can all vote without fear of embarrassment. MOTM is a judgement free zone.

We've won 5, drawn 4, lost 4 this season. Which of those games are blips?

but you're going to make bold statements about how poor you think him and the rest of the team are and predict a terrible season?

I thought Alfred nailed it in his post match. Basically lost the plot, especially after the second goal, and abandoned the tactics in favour of desperate passes and hopeful long balls. That's when we miss an old head like a SOD or McGinn on the pitch to calm things down.

Mine are funny though,

Turns out we did need Ap Stam after all. Take your pick...

7 minutes in and we've already earned the right to play football.

That's a blast from the past. And a very appropriate nickname.

I'm not saying he was great, but to put things in perspective we have 8 forwards on our books right now. JT is the top scorer. AP scored more league goals than the other 7 have combined. If you want to throw Luca Ross's first team appearances in the mix, AP scored more league goals than the other 8 have combined. He also took a better penalty than JT.
