Dons_1988 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Motherwell as a club and support clearly do not want to see the dandies relegated. Thank you. I only saw the last half hour of this but thought we looked pretty good against 10 men. And I don’t think Motherwell can have too many arguments with a red there to be honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I thought we were on top before the red after Motherwell had the best of the first half. Deserved win in the end. I was quite far from the incident but looked a dangerous tackle to me, even if it's accidental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STFU_Donny Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 There were times near the end of that match where it felt like a friendly. Anyway, another 3 points towards safety and the end of the season. Can’t wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) The first half had a feeling of a half-arsed, slightly aimless friendly, and this group of players definitely haven't earned the right to coast through significant periods of games like that. The second half was better, particularly after the red card. Our transitions were pretty effective, especially when Duk was involved, although we were sometimes guilty of not quite getting the final pass right. Some standard-issue nonsense in stoppage time from Devlin at one end of the park and then Sokler at the other, but we did deserve to win. I haven't seen the red card back, but it looked very high from the other side of the park. Barron looked a level above everybody else at times. Clarkson at least had the gumption to try things at 0-0, even if they didn't always come off for him. A nicely placed header from Gartenmann for the goal, along with another assist from Hoilett, who I thought benefited from the additional space after the red card.

kingjoey Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 What a wonderful interview on Sportsound with Stuart Kettlewell. So many managerial clichés squeezed into a 4 minute space. "Player red carded is the most mild mannered player you could ever meet." "You need to have played the game to understand that's not a red card." "The referee couldn't wait to get the red out." There must have been others which I've forgotten. Mr Kettlewell doesn't take defeat well. (No pun intended) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Kettlewell is trying to argue otherwise, that will be a red card 99 times out of 100, regardless of whether it’s intentional or not. 2 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Kelly looking lost at a corner as per usual 2 hours ago, Phillips455 said: I'll be glad to see the back or Kelly.

MikeAFC94 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Incredible stuff from Roos managing to hit the Motherwell striker from that drop kick in added time, and then Sokler managing to be through 1-1 and ending up with his back to the keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite far from the incident but looked a dangerous tackle to me, even if it's accidental. Endangering an opponent would’ve been the offence & thats regardless of the intent (there was none). The lad was unlucky & some refs would’ve only given a yellow. Either way, there wasn’t enough for VAR to overturn the onfield decision, and that stands whether he gave a yellow or red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I know it's not exactly uncommon for managers to make things up to defend their own players, but Kettlewell's assessment that Mackenzie goes "charging into" Vale is just nonsense. I have seen it back on Sportscene now and it is an even more obvious red card than it looked live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they’re working with the Laws Of The Game from 1990. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 At the game I didn’t see a foot in the belly, I thought the Aberdeen boy had challenged Vale and was getting a very harsh yellow, then I realised it was red and for Vale. I can see the ref’s point of view but I am persuaded by the Sportscene pundits that he kicked the ball then the Aberdeen player ‘steamed in’. Not enough of an ‘error’ for VAR to overturn, Not specific to this incident but I often wonder why a player has no responsibility to protect himself, a defender can be clearing the ball but an attacker, who can’t get the ball, dangles a leg in the area of the arc of the defenders kick. There is contact and it’s the defenders fault. Dont know if Vale’s absence impacted our defending of the goal, our Alamo at the end was exciting but didn’t actually trouble the keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
