Just cancel it now so everyone can enjoy christmas

While last Saturday was a good day all round for us and other results we have the chance for another good week. Number 1 is us taking care of our game. Rangers should probably beat Killie, so hoping Livingston can take points off Aberdeen. Not too far fetched, so c’mon super well, let’s get it done. COYW

Just watched it on the highlights, The goalie was right where Carroll hit the ball. Apparently he couldn’t be arsed lifting his hands to save the ball. Looks like he was expecting it to go to his left and started to move that way and that seemingly rooted him to the spot.

Not seen anyone else mention it but although Carroll hit the free kick well I’m not sure the Killie goalie comes out of it not looking very good. One of the benefits of actually getting a free kick on target.

Game was certainly more open the second half. So both sides had some chances. I think this was the most difficult game of the 3 game run in to end of year but next two are still going to be tough. You don’t get points just for turning up.

Merry Christmas all

Killie were playing 1 pass and now we had 4 or 5 players there wrong side of the ball. Was much happier seeing Scott up in the corner.

Excellent 3 points. COYW let’s hope Ross county don’t fix their defense by next week

Pressing too high for being 1 up

What a miss by killie

Terrible goalie

Yaaaaaaaassssss

Long has good speed as well but we never give him a decent ball in behind the defense to run onto.

Hopefully we can get 3 points but 1 point wouldn’t be too bad. Not bad at all if celtic get the finger out and beat Aberdeen.

Donnelly on a yellow anyway so not a bad forced sub

COYW

Cole and Polworth on the bench. Robinson just mixing things up ?

I’m assuming you missed real toilets

We have the chance to make this a terrific weekend. Hibs already beat. Aberdeen likely to get beat. Livingston playing Ross County. We have to be up for this game and play as well as we can to take all points. Would be a good week for our midfield to fire on all cylinders.

Live video on Motherwell tv?? Really important game, more so for us to keep the gap between us and the teams below, I think, rather than keeping pace with Aberdeen. End of the day could see us 11 points clear of 5th place team (assuming Hibs don’t win) or cut back to only 5 point gap. Getting 11 points clear of 5th place at this point in the season would be huge

And could he contribute while getting up to match fitness?

Yes, similar to the 3 games prior to rangers. 9 points up for grabs. Taking each game on its own we have a decent chance to pick up 3 points from each game. Of course we need to turn up and play but our aim should be 9 points. 6 or 7 points would be alright. 5 points would be ok but anything less than 5 points doesn’t suggest us challenging for third spot.

Not subject to the Scottish media rubbish here so not sure what is going on but how anyone can complain about his second yellow is beyond me. If anything his own fans and management should be all over his arse for being so stupid as that is a stick on yellow all day long. Likewise if the club get punished for the objects being thrown, we should be all over our fans there. There is no excuse whatsoever for people to be throwing anything at all at anyone or onto the pitch. It only puts the club in a bad light and is never going to have a positive outcome.

I think he must be told to hit the ball long and wide because I’m sure if Robinson didn’t want that he could tell Gillespie and it would stop. That’s probably not the aspect of our game I would prioritize working on. I’m more concerned about the outfield players giving the ball away time after time especially when not under any pressure.

Anything but. A lot of my posts agree with you in that I think our biggest issue is making basic passing mistakes and giving the ball away too easily as we transition into attack which leaves us open and vulnerable.
