Ah the MFC tv commentator is in sparkling form already, “I forgot to mention that Motherwell are in their usual kit”.
What? It’s TV we can see that for ourselves 

Isn't there an audio-only  commentary too? There used to be one for UK based fans.

(I'd still like an option with no commentary though).

We've been disciplined in our shape so far and we've defended well but we must be braver on the ball. Too many times we've fought back position then surrendered it with an aimless panicked punt up the park. We're still in this but we can't lose another before half time.

We were never getting anything today. Let's just keep score down

That’s true but we could really do without Utd, Killie and St.J all winning today. If those results stay the same then this should serve as a massive wake up call to anyone who thinks we are safe. It’s still in our hands, yes, but there is work to be done yet.

No we’re not.

St.Johnstone now winning too.

And 1-0 Celtic which means one thing = game over.

We were never going to win this one.

Even if all our rivals win today, Dundee Utd and Killie will need to win 6 more points than us after the split and Ross County will need to win 10 more points after the split to put us in any trouble.

Given they are all playing each other, that will be a bit of a stretch. And I'm pretty confident we will be picking up more than 0 points post-split.

I hope at least you get more enjoyment out of your misery-posts than you do out of the games.

For all kvv attributes, he's not a good outball so it's helluva difficult if you've nothing to hit

Right, so it’s still mathematically possible for us to finish 11th then? 
 

Therefore we are not safe yet.

If Killie or United lost today you couldn't help but feel we would be safe and sound. It was typical how each team scored within minutes of each other and Killie look on course to win their first away game of the season.

Although half the time we are not even hitting the ball in his direction. Decent defensive display so far but no clue what to do when we get the ball.

Yeah the last couple of weeks have been frustrating.

Had Utd not scored the last minute winner against Hibs…

Had we turned up against Utd at home last week and not threw away a 1-0 lead…

If Utd and Killie didn’t both win today while we lose at Parkhead…

It just has that feel of everything going against us just now and we could easily be sucked into trouble. We desperately need the post split fixtures to throw up some kind and winnable fixtures in the first couple of games so we can put this to bed asap.
