Maybe if he had been a Killie player? O’Donnel looks way out of his depth. Has. No clue what to do with the ball when he gets it.

I hate international breaks

If our new players can adapt to SPFL sooner rather than later it could be a good season for us. Its much harder to play against teams with multiple attacking threats. That's what made us so good under McCall for a while. Easy for teams to snuff out 1 main threat not so easy with 2 and then almost impossible to deal with 3. You have Donnelly scoring from midfield, pace on both wings, if we can get Long and Scott to start scoring regular it could be our best season in a while.

No issues with the Tanner situation, it is what it is. Wish him good luck. However saving a Tanner on the wage bill won’t help much. Ok I’ll get my hat and leave !

Completely forgot we had signed Manzinga. Squad player or what?

Yes,I’m hoping we can exact some revenge for our league cup exit and come away with all 3 points and continue to improve.

Wondering what the general opinion is on Dunne and Tait being dropped? Tait has struggled so far this season and Dunne’s distribution has been terrible but defended not too bad. Is the manager trying to address issues much quicker than normal? I think I’m the past he has persevered with underperforming players but maybe learning as he goes? However, Seedorf starting kind of doesn’t fit into that. COYW

Have we got any compensation for him yet?

Unusually quiet on here today

I’d agree with his statement. It’s only deliberate hand ball that should be penalized. Of course you then have to decide did he have his arms outstretched so that the ball would bounce off them which would then basically count as deliberate but there are many times when it’s natural that your arms end up being outstretched.

Not even sure why any discussion popped up Been that way for as long as I can remember. No relation to new rule. Now Hartley’s penalty incident I haven’t been able to get a good look at yet. On a related point I thought deliberate hand ball was a yellow card? However many times I have seen refs give free kicks for hand ball but no yellow. Is that rule now modified or am I just wrong on that one?

Main’s fair bangin them in for Aberdeen then

Best start over in that midden for a long time! Let’s hope we don’t embarrass ourselves. And Accies get penalty as I write this

MFCTV says “live video for fans outside U.K. live audio for all” but no sign of video that I can see.

I thought I recalled weeyin saying it would only be audio but according to the Motherwell tv app it says live video.

That would be nice but I’ll take a win whatever way we get it.

Who is Jack Hendry?

They got drowned last night

Another PK

The only positive I can take out of this game is that considering how bad we were we only got beat 2-1. So if we can actually improve then we might have a decent season. We are obviously not physical enough so we will have to learn how to play possession. As recently mentioned we have to reproduce the performance we saw in the first 20 mins against Celtic. Let’s hope Hylton and Seedorf are quick learners and that we make use of their speed by playing through balls for them to run onto behind the defense.

My optimism has taken a severe beating.

We have got to stop having Dunne launch 60 yard balls up the field. I was going to say passes but at best they are 50/50 balls and hearts are getting most of them. It’s basically just giving the ball to the other team time after time

Not getting much from Hylton or Seedorf.

Finally video working. COYW

Did I miss a pk?
