Because a goal came from the advantage it doesn’t diminish the cynical nature of the offence. If he two footed Cornelius over wrestling him to the ground would that be a yellow too?


You can't send someone off for "denying a goalscoring opportunity" when the opponents literally scored and therefore they haven't denied a goalscoring opportunity.

A richly deserved defeat here. Utterly shite.

First time we've lost to a non-OF team since October so no need to overreact but it's been coming for the last few weeks. We're far too reliant on moments of quality rather than controlling games.

Third isn't guaranteed and if we keep playing like that we'll be in danger of chucking it away.

Hearts were exactly as bad as this against us at Rugby Park, but the big difference was that when we went 2-0 up we basically immediately gifted them a goal and then shat it. Motherwell didn't give them that opportunity, and those points could make a big difference.

The bit in bold is 100% correct. However, the manner of defeat is much more concerning than the defeat itself. We had 9 days to prepare for this, we should have been well up for it and yet we played the entire game so passively. Can't be dishing that up.
