Happy Dosser Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago 17 minutes ago, star sail said: The subjective nature of decision making is killing the game in Scotland. Despite Motherwell having the best team in recent memory, I have lost interest in the game in recent months. The Slattery punishment is bizarre. The process is incoherent and it's seems that we are still paying the price for Slattery's stupidity. The playing field is not even. I feel sorry for the Motherwell manager and the Motherwell players who have created a new vision in Scottish football this season and to some extent the project has been detailed by really poor refereeing standards. I quite agree but I hope you don't give up. A sense of apathy or helplessness only helps the authorities perpetuate the status quo and, when push comes to shove, Hearts might well end up biting the carpet like us over refereeing decisions before this season is decided. Having said that, my attendance at games is the only resistance I can think of, unless clubs unite to mount some kind of challenge to the obviously unfair decision-making by the authorities.

Overall we just weren’t good enough and were well beaten by a better team who are more clinical and more equipped to deal with how football works in this league. We are now ending this season with a whimper because we have been well and truly sussed out. Fur coat, no knickers. On the ground flicks his head back yip stonewaller 🙈🙈🙈🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinjy Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I just wonder if Jens is getting as pissed off as the rest of us with the downright incompetence of our officials both on and off the field. It is quite possible that he will feel he can't continue here and look for a move to the English Championship or nearer home in Europe. If that happens I hope the powers in the game are ashamed that they have driven away one of the most innovative managers this country has seen in years.

Especially when we have been ahead or level in so many of those matches. There's those damn statistics again. 15 matches. Only 2 wins. But also 7 draws and only 6 defeats. So while our record could be better, we have been more than competitive against the top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 3 hours ago, wellfan said: Putting aside our recent inability to take our chances and the blatantly poor officiating, my other big concern is the complete lack of aggression. It showed again today against an aggressive Hearts side. We can’t defend set pieces into our own box, and at the other end our set pieces and most of our crosses are basically pointless because we’ve no real presence or aggression in the box, with defenders often winning everything. Also. For all the decent football we play in the middle of the park, we’re far too powderpuff across the pitch. We need to be stronger and more aggressive if we want to be winners, and it’s a glaring issue that has to be addressed in the summer. I agree with you, but we dont really have a big physical team. So its no real surprise we are shite at set pieces. Jens isnt obviously sign any hammer throwers, but it would be nice if we could get a couple of signings in close season that could play football, but were 6 foot plus and/or had a bit of bite about them.

joewarkfanclub Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I thought today was a much improved performance from the last few weeks, with most of the starting 11 raising their levels. It was telling that McInnes sounded relieved at the end of the game and gave us some plaudits, albeit that doesnt really help us any in terms of points. We can talk about the refereeing (unless the rules have changed, I dont see how Kabore isnt enndangering himself by trying to head itnon the ground) but if we put any if the 4 chances away before that, then its less of a problem for us and may not even occcur. Overall, JT much better off the right side. Just fantastic thru the middle. I liked the 4-2-4, was a twist on our usual set up and played to our strengths. Fadinger much better without the mask. We will play worse and win before the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
