VAR guessing and now ask referee to decide. Its either hand ball or not. Either way tv angles are inconclusive. Ref guesses and goal cancelled. Some things never change. Not one St Mirren player claimed hand ball. Mental.

Apparently our officials juat can’t grasp the whole VAR thing. I thought it hit his arm but couldn’t be 100% sure so goal should have stood. Likewise if ref had called handball on the field then that call should also have stood. 
 

do not overturn referee calls on the field unless you can 100% show that he was wrong.

I gave up watching the Falkirk game after the first half and went to buy some booze.

Watched the end of the Tranmere v Rochdale Carabao Cup match when I came back. Went to penalties, which Rochdale won 2 - 1.

The commentator said "I've seen a lot of poor penalties in my time, and most of them have been in this shootout"

I can’t be doing with Robinson, Kerr and Craigan. After last years motherwell digs from robinson and his cronies and Craigan’s anti-JBA’s take on his tactics, id quite like to see them all fail up there.I take no enjoyment from their win v Hearts.

 don't want to jinx it like the rest by commenting how badly other teams played in their first league game. We have still to play ours. Although we have played well so far we have been decidedly lucky in many aspects with poor finishing from the opposition etc. Hibs will have a shit load of confidence from their Euro game and will be well up for this match as well. They seem to be scoring as freely as us. Will need to sit with everything crossed tomorrow. This is going to be a tough opening game.

Today will be a tough test, but Hibs will probably be thinking the same. The key will be to keep the ball, stay patient, and stick to our game plan. Hopefully Longelo and Maswanhise get plenty of minutes too.

Both Motherwell and Hibs likely to be the 2 of the sharpest teams for game. 
 

Our left hand side with Willilams , Longelo and RCC will cause all teams problems . 
 

With Spaorrow, Maswanhise on the right and Said or Lowry through the middle I think we’ve got a fair amount of fire power to cause them problems .

suspect both teams will score today and believe we can outscore them .

I am still feeling a little hungover from the end of last season. The new season has come around very quickly and I have a sense that normal service may resume with regard to the OF dominating both on and off the park particularly now that two Scottish media darlings in McIness and O Neil are at the helm of the respective teams.

Scottish VAR already seems to have learned absolutely nothing from the end of last season already going against the wider world football directive to only get involved with very clear and obvious errors.

It would be nice to see Hearts, Falkirk and particularly ourselves carry on the momentum from last season but squad overhauls in the summer prove how difficult that will be. 

Aberdeen beating Hearts yesterday gives maybe the first sense that the old school Scottish football establishment are starting to reassert themselves.

We were miles ahead of Hibs in the last game of last season and we finished on a genuine high despite maybe some lingering regret that it could have been even better but I get a sense that the reset button has been pressed and the league may fall back into a more predictable pattern.

It would be a real shot in the arm for the season ahead of we were to dominate Hibs today like we did in May but I think it will be a much tougher test. 

I would take a draw right now to maintain a positive start to the season going into a very difficult Euro tie next week.

I absolutely get why you feel this way.

The team took some time to earn our trust last season, and the same will be true this season, purely down to the changes of manager and personnel.

However, the early signs are good.

Today is the next stepping stone on that journey. It would be nice to get a win, even a point would do. However, Im more interested in the performance than the result.

If we can go to a difficult away venue, play our game, control the ball and you can see patterns of play and what we are trying to achieve, I will be more than happy.

Hibs will be dangerous in attack, but they can be got at, at the back. Control the ball, starve them of possession and limit their chances. 

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
