Calling all SPFL anoraks. Whats the prize money for 4th, 5th and 6th?

I actually think refs would welcome transparency, I really do. What would not be welcome is TV viewers hearing the language used by players throughout the game, effing blinding and c’ing. That’s why we’ll never hear that live. Funny, those rugby boys will bulldoze you into next week with a tackle but I’ve yet to hear any of them swear

Rugby Union could teach fitba a few things. Refs miked up for TV viewers, video ref that actually works. Oh and coaches as far away from the pitch as possible.

Was thinking same, thought I’d mis-counted. Has that rule been abandoned?

I’m listening to Radio Scotland’s normally excellent Open All Mics and between Michael Stewart who’s at the game and guys in studio watching the replay, they have absolutely no idea why Kelly was booked. Are they actually watching? Then Stewart says he doesn’t know who the ref is despite probably being in the ground for 90 mins and having team sheets and match programme available to him.

He actually did give it initially to the disbelief of both sets of players then linesman gave him a shout it was actually offside.

How is that NOT offside?

You've got to wonder how BBC Scotland decides which game to cover on the wireless. Championship Ayr (yawn) v. Dundee Utd, 2 Premiership teams at Dens Park, nah who'd want to hear that?

Yes he did. Weren’t 2 or 3 of them overturned?

Cos it's on this Premier Sports is that the reason BBC wireless have commentary on Livingston v Raith game which sounds absolutely dreadful?

Don't see anything yet on SPFL you tube channel, mon Doncaster get the finger oot.

Surprised it wasn't a red, no attempt to play the ball whatsoever.

UEFA has all that bunting to put up which will take weeks.

League rules used to be whatever dimensions you started the season with and all clubs communicated it, they could not be altered mid-season.

Saw that and I always thought that this other dugout has a better view of the whole pitch as it's literally on the halfway line. The (now) away dugout is almost halfway down that sideline. They said Alexander likes to be closer to the stand side linesman to "encourage" them to give us some decisions.

Here's that match in question, copied from P&B. Look at the times of those 3 goals 78, 79, 80 tremendous

Condolences to his family. Before my time but the name is synonymous with Liverpool & Motherwell. Shankly is known to credited his signings of St. John and Ron Yates as instrumental to Liverpool's rise. Think he worked at Motherwell Bridgeworks while signing for Motherwell and didn't he score a 2 1/2 minute hat-trick at a league cup tie at Easter Rd once? Singy, you're in with the bricks.

Scenes: Trump out Gallagher in

Team today: Motherwell: Kelly, O'Donnell, Magloire, Lamie, Carroll, Maguire, Campbell, Crawford, Roberts, Cole, Watt. Substitutes: Morrison, McGinley, Devine, Gallagher, Polworth, Cornelius, Lawless, Hastie, Long.

Let us not concede tonight and I won't tempt fate by saying more on that. Lack of quality to create a real chance, endeavour will only get you so far. Cole: cmon son get into the game Set peices: dearie me, 2 corners first 90 secs troubled me more in ma hoose than St.Mirren rearguard. Plus notes? Tannoy has them playing The Jam "That's Entertainment", not sure what gemme he's watching.

Chucking your laptop and/or phone on the park.

Moot point but who got the armband when O'Donnell got sent off?

Forget yer 52 yarders, if Cole's Cruyff turn had resulted in a goal that's yer winner right there. Oh aye and as a ref myself I'm trying to figure out how that challenge on McGinley is not a penalty. Fur Fuch's sake, wonder if he'd a given a foul if it was the middle of the park? I know it's the same laws but Law 18 of the game says there needs to be a higher bar of evidence for foul play in the box.

What happened to the erstwhile Jim Gannon? Don't mention the mini bus
