DUNDEE UNITED captain Jon Daly has defended Henrik Ojamaa and doesn’t believe the Motherwell substitute should face an SFA compliance probe over his controversial weekend penalty claim. The Estonian, who helped the Steelmen to rescue a point, went looking for a second half spot kick, when he went down under the close attentions of Paul Dixon, but his appeals were ignored by referee Steve O’Reilly. Fuming United defender Dixon claimed it was a dive but the United captain reckons it would be a bit harsh if he was the latest SPL star to be disciplined retrospectively for simulation. Daly said: “If it is for your side then you would be screaming for it. It looked to me that he went down quite easily. I didn’t see any contact. I am sure their boy will say differently but Paul is adamant he didn’t touch him. “The referee called it right because I don’t think Paul stuck out a leg or anything like that. As of late we have seen guys who have tried to win penalties be put in front of the compliance officer. The game is going that quick and the slightest of contact could cause you to fall over. It might not even be a leg. It could be a shoulder and he is going at such a pace that it could affect his balance and he can’t help but to go down. I don’t think it was a dive.”

I would drop both Daley and Murphy both were woefull yesterday .Im not impressed at all with Daley ,he does his flicks and tricks and chips in with the odd goal but overall he offers little ,signed for 2 years I think complete waste of a wage the type of player that a team with a small budget and small squad dosnt need.

10 goals so far this season for Higdon so you would have to think hes going to finish around the 18-20 mark ,that's as good as any striker we've had in recent years .Hes often our lone striker with our other forwards either too far behind him or stuck out on the flanks. Thats up tae mr mccall to fix .

Was very impressed by Ojamma, as you say a must start on Tuesday.

Poor game if i'm honest about it but the weather didn't help, they were best first half we were best second half, the game livened when Ojamma came on and he caused a few problems .No doubt Higdon will be praised again for his goal but he missed a couple of sitters but so did they so it could have been 3-3. Overall a hard but deservrd point ,Ojamma was the star but it was mostly the same old we've had to endure for weeks now. I see the Pars had a good away win so it should be interesting midweek.

an initial 1 month loan deal

Stenhousemuir have taken Motherwell striker Gary Smith on a loan deal.

Soon see if my source is reliable ,the time has arrived and all that .

Full time 3-3 ,typical 3 goals at firpark and nobody there to see it .Might get the goals on M.T.V later.

I haven't seen or heard of anything similar from any other SPL club.

So your saying that Motherwell f.c have the WORST supporters in Scotland .

Agree with yir elder, but the same happens at other clubs ,to say that the level of abuse at firpark is worse than other grounds is rubbish.

Spoke to a number of Hearts fans in the pub after the the game at Tynecastle they were saying the same thing .

I can only comment on what Im watching and paying good money for at firpark David and its poor to say the least. Since a good opening day win [3-0] against Inverness Ive seen 3 league goals very few chances created and some awfull football.But i now realise I need to shut up pay my money and accept it.

Good post mate.Its a bit like Groundhog day the performances at home this season ,I'm looking at things as a season ticket holder who mostly only gets to home games and with the exception of one or two games its been as bad as anything Ive seen for a wee while. Ive seen very little to praise or commend and if our away form mirrored our home form McCall would be long gone. Sorry if this upsets some but I have little faith in our present management team who are now being found out big time.

All is fine fellow well fans cause we are third sorry fourth in the league .

Nah i'm no at the wind up im just asking if we still have faith in McCall.I don't but that's just me .

Are the alarm bells ringing for some well fans,is McCall being found out or will he get us back on track ?

If you only ever get along to home games you would have to wonder about McCall and his tactics ,personally I dont rate the guy.

http://www.greenockmorton.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=37653&st=0 what the morton fans think of the tie.

Take that ....and when was the last time we had two consecutive home ties in the Scottish cup.

Living in Armadale i'm able to get along to Bathgate and watch the under 19,s on a regular basis and over the the past few years have seen a lot of good young players who I fully expected to make the step up to the first team, players like Forbes, Pollock, Lawless and McHugh ect,doesn't seem to happen as it did in the past though. We only seem to be able to bring players to a certain level and they seem to progress no further ,could take it one step further yet and suggest that the players that do make it into the first team seem to hit a brick wall as well,whats happened to Murphy ,Reynolds and even Hutchison to a certain extent.Could be these players just ain't good enough .Could be our coaching set up is limited or just crap.

Just watched the goals again and they are all really good goals, the performance wasn't the best and some of the fringe players didn't do themselves any favours but were in the next round and that is the main thing. Clancy and Murphy were best for us and it was good to see the tempo of our play pick up when Lawless ,Humphrey and Ojamma came on. Thought Queens park were good, players were fast and passed the ball well,brought a good support . Home draw in the next round would be the best option although I wouldn't mind a wee Scottish cup away day .
