BigCDawg Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Something worth pointing out from time to time. Josh Law is turning into a pretty solid right back. He'll never feature in MOTM polls but puts a shift in every week and seldom lets the side down. Was watching the game tonight thinking "When did Josh Law last have a bad game for Motherwell?". And struggled to find an answer... Josh law has been a solid right back for a long time and one of our most consistent giving 100%. He gets too much stick that's not deserved 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Young's first sentence in his report described our performance as "dominant", and he went on to say we won "in grand style" which was a fitting tribute to Phil O'Donnell. I stopped reading after that. Total bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets too much stick that's not deserved Feel like I've been saying this for a while. Not his fault he was played out of position, and even less so that he's related to Nicky Law. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 McManus has been more solid than he's ever been for us since Kennedy got binned. Whatever is going on it's worked out well. A point that was made where we were last night. McManus' best games this season have been with Ben Hall alongside him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Special shout out to the throw in that the St Johnstone number 9 took despite the ball being about a yard away from being on the line What exactly happened? We were at the opposite side of the pitch and heard the East Stand react angrily at a throw in. Overall a good though not great performance against a robust and streetwise Saints side. Ripley, Hall, Pearson and MacDonald were the pick of the bunch and it was good to see the youngster score his first senior goal. Certainly the withdrawal of Davidson and O'Halloran was clearly influential. I was a bit surprised to see Johnson play on the right - seemed a bit uncomfortable there although he had a decent game. Not the best of second halves but Saints, although powerful, were pretty toothless up front. A surprisingly ill tempered and niggly match. Referee had a poor match generally although fortunately made no major blunders. Pitch was in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 What exactly happened? We were at the opposite side of the pitch and heard the East Stand react angrily at a throw in. It wasn't a throw in. The ball was still a good yard inside the pitch when MacLean picked it up and took a throw in. The fact both the referee and assistant didn't see it, when both were no more than 20 yards away at most, was probably what infuriated most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Cannae argue with that last night! An excellent, and for me, quite unexpected 3 points. No real failures in the team and quite a few stand outs including Ripley, McDonald, and Hall. Everyone else also deserves praise. There's no denying that O'Halloran and Davidson going of injured for them helped ou cause massively but you still have to beat what's in front of you. What a turn around! It feels for the first time in ages we can actually look forward to rhe games instead of dreading it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Forgot to mention that Darnell fisher was super entertainment last night too. How the fuck did that get a 3 year deal by Celtic? There's hope for us all yet. And John Sutton hasn't managed to untie the bungee rope from his back either.

For what it’s worth, it should have been deliberate hand ball and a straight red. Too harsh? I personally thought the ref had a really poor game, and on another day that level of performance could cost you the 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 They were far from being the better side, but for me i didnt think there was as much between the teams as Chick suggested. We probably shaded it, but we also got some good breaks, keeper made some quality saves and st j shots at goal that got deflections and went wide, could on another day dip into the corner. Im delighted at the win but i think mcghee is correct, we were not up to the standard of the last few games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much between the 2 sides but we had more of a cutting edge. By no stretch of the imagination a smash and grab. We had quite a few dangerous efforts just off target.

johnstone Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 First time I have seen Ben Hall play. Very impressive, has shades of Hutchinson about him. Fair play to McGhee for having the guts to throw him into the first team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
