Indeed.

And if he is not handed at least a four match ban the same as Watt then we need to be questioning it.

McInnes ban should be longer than Watts (albeit I wholeheartedly disagree with Watts punishment.)

His language was stronger, he inferred foul play, even if he didnt say it implicitly, and it was in reference to a game neither he nor his team were involved in.

Personally feel that the SFA have targeted us the wee club on a couple now .

 

first Slattery and now this - like many have said - disgraceful

Utterly ridiculous by the clearly corrupt old firm centric authorities for both banning a player for 4 games for “hurty words” and fine Well £5k, yet the team who’s supporters invade pitches and manager say similar “hurty words” get a slap on the wrist.

Point of order to be noted is that the old firm authorities feel it is a lesser offence for hordes of your fans to invade multiple pitches, cause hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage to other teams stadiums, sweep, sweep nothing to see here, move along…

I sincerely hope the club fight this scandalous result fully.

This makes a further mockery of Scottish football across the world, first of all none of our clearly crap referees couldnt even get a place in what was one of the worst refereed World Cups in history and would I’m sure have fitted in wonderfully given the shocking and corrupted standard in show.

Excellent post: this measure is shamefully vindictive because the SFA can't stand the truth and we all knew this was coming.

At least the club seems to be considering some sort of legal challenge to it, which is to be welcomed.

Until the clubs outwith the OF unite to oppose the authorities' incompetence and corruption,  things will only get worse because the "powers that be" will consider themselves more and more invulnerable and unaccountable.

I'm beelin' even before the season starts.

You get the sense that Motherwell have got under the skin of the SFA last season.

What should have been a real positive for the game in Scotland with one of the smaller teams genuinely competing (and often outplaying) with the 4 big city clubs now has more of a sense of reprisal than celebration about it. 

Is it possible that the authorities felt genuinely threatened by what Motherwell were trying to do? It seems far fetched in the extreme to think that is possible and yet for the authorities to come down on Motherwell not once but twice with punishments that don't really fit the crime seems more than just a coincidence. 

I can see no positive motive in actively targeting Motherwell in this way and yet as fans of the club and for the club itself there is a palpable sense that we have indeed been targeted. 

I have found myself drifting away from football in recent times largely because of the governance of the game both nationally and globally ( look at FIFA in the WC). Motherwell were pulling me back in last year. They were a breath of fresh air and yet the powers that be seem determined to drain the life out of any flicker of hope that things can be better.

There is an inconsistency about the SFA response to many of these matters. When there is so much to fix in the game in this country (Old Firm pitch invasions being one) it seems a little like booking someone for parking over two carparking spaces whilst a riot is kicking off all around. 

It's all a bit weird.
