deadasdillinger Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Findlay and Del Fabro big misses tonight. Looked to me like Bruce got the ball but his lack of pace put him in that situation in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alr Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I've seen two angles of the tackle and watched them repeatedly thinking 'watch Long hit the ball' and 'watch Bruce hit the ball'. My brain doesn't seem to find an error in either statement. Pretty difficult to judge so it would be good to see a 3rd angle. Wasn't at the game tonight but that's a massive 3 points against an in form team. Mon the 'Well! Edit: he does seem to leave the ground when making the slide tackle. Not a rule I agree with and I've seen players sent off for it before (Scott McDonald at home to rangers?) so that may be the ref's thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Craig Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 A red card and goal from the resulting free kick after 15 minutes because of a wrong decision. Bloody infuriating. Ach, these things even themselves out over the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Kind of feels like we got away with one, while similarly we should've been comfortably out of sight. Football makes no sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Tbf if Bruce had done any sort of research he would have known there was 0% chance Long was scoring a one on one and there was no reason to tackle him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I can’t tell if it’s Long or Bruce that plays the ball from either replay. I thought he got the ball at the time but he never complained on the way off so I’d assume the ref got it right. The red card ruined the game tbh. Killie are a well drilled team and were comfy on the ball under pressure at the back except for O’Donnell on a few occasions. Killie’s furthest forward player was on their own 18 yard box for a lot of that game. We moved it too slowly to break them down. I thought the keeper was at fault for our opener. We seem to concede direct from a cross at least once a season. Thankfully it wasn’t the winner this time. Carroll’s cross for Cole’s goal was scrumptious. There wasn’t many clear chances for either team in the game. Although I’ve no idea how Campbell missed his chance at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillespie had every right to assume Hartley was clearing the ball for their goal, Campbell’s shot clipped a defenders toe and it shot skyward. The ball should have been played in front of Scott rather than cut back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 A man advantage and our midfield were charging about like weans. Nearly threw the game charging up the park at the end but not able/willing to shift back at the same pace. Thought it was a clear red card. Long played the ball and Bruce didn't. Only seemed to be arguing the touch took Long away from goal. Overall it was a weird performance. I thought we were far too slow on the ball and working it wide seemed aimless since we weren't actually putting in crosses. But then the goal comes from an absolute stunner of a ball and a header even Cole couldn't miss. It could/should have been a walk in the park but Killie missed a sitter right at the end for a point. Gillespie didn't cover himself in glory then or for their goal but did pull off a fantastic save from Brophy. Gallagher was my MotM. Was the man to take a step forward in the 2nd half to try and break Killie down and he defended really well when the midfield went AWOL.

Swello Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 If you could put everything that's driven me mad about Motherwell over the years - failing to look like we've got a man more after a red card, giving away shite goals when we're not under pressure, being naive as f**k in the last 10 mins of the game - it was all there tonight BUT it feels like a big win for our season. From my my East Stand view, I thought Long nicked the ball first and was chopped - didn't think it was a controversial red card at all, so interesting that it apparently is. What I will say is that Killie dealt with it really well and there were undoubtedly spells where they were on top (to the point it makes me doubt if we would have won against 11 men TBH). The goal was a kick in the baws and I was expecting the quintessential Motherwell-against-10-men second half where would struggle to break Killie down and they would nick a late winner - so the fact that we came out, looked patient and took a deserved lead was a really nice surprise. In all honesty, we shouldn't have been hanging on (Campbell's miss was a shocker) but it came to the usual desperate defending and I thought Gillespie's save from Brophy's low effort was brilliant and more than made up for Sunday's Craig Samson impression. If it wasn't for the fact that I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the 5-on-1 break where we amazingly didn't score and allowed Killie to break back on us was almost funny (although not as funny as Donnell'y late "free kick"). There were some decent performances - big Gallacher probably the pick as he popped up everywhere but it was also the best I've seen Long - if another team's striker had done that to us, we would have been impressed. Jake Carroll had his best game for a while. Anyway - proper game of football, good away support and 3 points to keep things chugging along nicely - another win on Saturday necessary... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, say no more, couldn't wait to get the red out and told off the Motherwell defender for trying to rip brophys shirt off his back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Goals and penalty have just been on SSN. Difficult to tell but looks like Long wins the ball and gets taken out. Bruce makes a half-hearted claim that he won the ball, then looks more dejected than raging. I can't see an appeal being successful as it doesn't look like a clear mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Motherwell's highlights don't clear anything up apart from James Scott had a lot of options at the late breakaway and made about the worst choice possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
