When the papers report that the SFA won't be citing Sinclair that's due to the SFA stating to the papers it wasn't a dive.

Surely no one is thick enough to think this is the first statement? Celtic have put statements about both games via the manager, assistant manager and several players. They've been putting out statements since we won the semi. The SFA put a statement out that Sinclair didn't dive and we're waiting on another inevitable statement from them that McGregor didn't dive. Why would any Motherwell fan have a problem with our club correcting public lies about their employees? Mystifying

Celtic and the SFA have put out statements that neither Sinclair nor McGregor dived. Why should we not tell the truth?

Don't listen to rabid Celtic fans.

Dundee at Celtic Park as well.

I think Burrows struggles with confrontation. McGhee walked all over him barely turning up for work and when the fans protest after the Dundee game happened he handed his own notice in rather than try to get McGhee removed. I don't think he has the stomach to make the required statement. Robinson is just another professional in the game who wants to go as far as he can in the game - quite rightly out for himself. And like everyone in else in Scottish football he has realised the way to go about it is appease Celtic at every opportunity.

Utter shitebag behaviour from Burrows and a third slap in the face to the fans from the club in a week. The guy has been following Scottish football for decades. He knows the same as us that the SFA don't give a fuck about our club and will only react to public pressure. The choice to play this down is not being made with best intentions for the club.

That's corruption. They know if they give Celtic every decision there is no chance of them losing their pay day in Scotland or Europe. When the SFA choose not to punish Sinclair for diving to get an opponent sent off in a national final or they rescind Brown's red at Dingwall they send a message to the refs that they want preferential treatment for one team. The refs clearly get the message that helping Celtic helps their bank account.

Anyone who doesn't think it's corrupt must believe we've got an equal chance of getting these decisions our way...

There's a difference between legal details of tax law and 11 Vs 11 on the park. I'm not surprised at this from you as you've been hinting you are at Parkhead more than Fir Park these days.

That wasn't incompetence. It was perfectly executed cheating.

For me Burrows sent out a message that we don't expect or deserve fair treatment so I'm not surprised the referees don't feel the need to give us fair treatment. Someone had to stand up for the club on Monday and no one did. Burrows might have thought he would gain more by taking the high ground but we've been slapped in the face within 3 days. We now need a strong statement and I'd like to see us say we are considering sending the U20s on Saturday (but not actually do it). We are getting to the point where people are going to ask why spend money on a fixed competition. The club need to do something.

There's zero point in listening to a word a guy like Rodgers says.

I do like Burrows. I just think he has let us down badly this week by not standing up for the club.

Both are blatant dives (Sinclair admitted he dived), they all just realise they have played their lie like fuck for Celtic card this week already.

The worst part is if you look at the penalty Partick were denied against them when the guy was thrown to the ground right in front of the ref. There are two sets of laws in this country.

Are you kidding on? Burrows is probably giving Rodgers and Lawell a shoe shine.

Refs know they can shaft us and the club will take it.

Aye. Sell tickets without telling your fans they will be below Celtic fans. Don't bother demanding extra stewards to protect your fans. After your fans get pelted with drinks and coins sit quietly and wait for Lawell and Regan to pat you on the head. Cheers Motherwell!

Robinson is Levien with an Ulster accent. Creativity is not required.

The club's position is a joke. The SFA were in a tricky position where they either had to make a fair decision or lose all credibility and we have decided to let them off the hook. The reasons given are a joke. There is obviously something going on in the background. Burrows possibly fancies a blazer. Combine this with the silence over the south upper and you have a fan owned club shitting on the fans.

If the SFA are trying anything like that it proves the compliance system is corrupt. The tackle and the red card are totally separate. A fan owned club should be refusing anything to do with pish like that and should be putting pressure on the SFA over objects thrown from the South upper.

Burrows has some serious explaining to do if we are not appealing the red. It would be paranoid to think all the refs are against you. Anyone who actually been at games and watched Thomson ref us over the past decade knows we don't get treated fairly by him.

Lol

Lol. Hard to type with Brendan's boaby in your mouth?
