Football with a purpose!!

joyous seeing Billy Dodds waddle down the tunnel 

5 ahead of Hibs and sitting pretty. A Dundee win and a draw with hearts and Celtic is what I’ve ordered for tomorrow

Best thing that happened today was Kilmarnock scoring.

Thought we were a bit jaded looking and a bit slow in the initial stages and Kilmarnock pressured us quite well with their physicality.

The VAR decision also got the crowd going and maybe that had something to do with the quicker tempo thereafter.

Fantastic goal from Elijah Just to open the scoring and he was outstanding overall.  

Once we took the lead the performance got much better and the red card really sealed it for us, 10 men against this team is pretty much a death sentence.

Considering the pitch and the fact that we've been missing two key players in Welsh and Watt it was a strong performance once we got over the initial slow-ish start and in the end it could have been more than the 4.

Get Ap Stam on now, if he can't score today he never will.

And surprise surprise he never did, he hardly touched the ball when he came on, big Thor showed more desire to get on the ball in 20 mins than Stamatelopoulos has done all season.

Neil McCann saying Killie were the better side up until the sending off and the poor refereeing decisions against them has made me feel even better about the mauling we gave them.

Was out wondering about Los Cristianos this morning before the game. Some arse in a Celtic top shouted to me as I walked past that 'that boy mashoney had signed for them this morning for a mullyin pounds'. Imagine my relief when i went back to the flat to watch the game and found out he didn't mean Maswanhise 🙂

Tough first 20 mins or so but after the disallowed goal, the opener and the sending off, it was all us.

At one point in the second half (think it was still 2-0) I thought we were going to end up with 90% possession !

Been here since 7th Jan and my Motherwell top is undefeated so far. Hopefully that keeps up at least until I go home 🙂

He was on the bench so maybe just making sure he didn’t get Crocker by Killlie player. 

Probably just part of his recovery to full fitness. No point in overloading him so soon.

We started slow probably lucky to be 2 up at HT between the disallowed goal and the header of the bar but second half when they went down to 10 we used the ball really well and scored 2 more good goals. Bjorgolfsson reminds me a bit of Van Veen so hopefully he comes good in time.

I'm OK with a manager sticking up for his players, especially in Killie's position. 

He wasn't correct. They set up in a way most of us weren't expecting, but I thought we had regained control some time before the sending off.

Even if the goal counted, I think we had enough to go on to win the game.

Might have missed it earlier but was there any reason for McGhee missing today 

He was on the bench. I think with the way the game panned out he wasn't needed and it let us put 1 more of the youngsters on.
