Livingston V Motherwell 4/5/24

The same  boring tactics every week from Martinfale,sitting deep,no interest in trying to win the game 

Expect the same boring tactics from the man that can't get sacked next season 

The end of next season when they're fighting relegation, Martinfale will still be controlling the decisions

These 3 boys that we have signed pre contract must be absolute belters. Why would anyone want to come to this club after such a shitshow of a season. Anyway, Martindale looks as though he is going to be here next season. More tactical genius to look forward to. Wasn't there today but kudos to those that went.

Strange,didn't here from you last week.Not.As usual you come on here after any defeat and give your your critique.Youve chosen this particular week to put the boot in.We knew weeks ago our precarious position and to be fair accepted it.We knew we were going down and accepted it.Next season,try and keep up to date.No doubt youl be happy with your posts.Many have blocked you,I haven't and will continue to have constructive discussions with you.Were all hurting,understandably.But end of the day,this was coming.Enjoy your evening.

I saw that, absolutely no need for roasters like that. He's been kicked out now.

It was pretty funny when the absolute weapon turned round to ask who told him to shut the f**k up and half the section let him know it was them. 
 

Can only presume drink was taken for him to think his behaviour was in any way acceptable. 
 

He was still threatening to wait and batter him as he was being escorted out and having the gate slammed on his face. p***k.

Good win, it was against Livi though. Still look dodgy as f**k at the back.

That first goal/pen decision was a complete farce.
I saw it didn't go out. I saw it hit his hand. I didn't think it was a penalty.

f**k know what they looked at for 5 mins. Only to come to (imo) the wrong decision. I'll reserve the right to switch my opinion when I watch sportscene.

The most embarrassed cheer for a goal I think I’ve ever heard. Shocking decision for the penalty. I think we’d probably still have won today anyway but still. f**k knows what was going on for the disallowed goal.

I shouted for the penalty, it was right in front of me, but you do don’t you.  When I sat down I thought, nah his hand was by his side, it did block the cross though.  Couldn’t tell you what happened at the disallowed goal but I saw the flag go up as soon as it went in.

2nd and 3rd goals were excellent.

I did wonder if Casey would get pulled up for tapping the ankles of the Livi boy but I wasn’t sure why Casey went down in the first place, was he fouled?

Strange game, it’s the end of the season isn’t it.

I thought that Kelly could have come out for the Livi goal, I don’t think he would have got it but it would have given Nouble something to think about, as it was he just nodded the ball in.  That goal and the little flurry by Livi probably prevented the young boys getting on for any meaningful time.

Thats a pretty incredible feat to have got that worked up over todays proceedings

To be magnanimous I thought Livi played well but only in 5 or 10 minute bursts, just not consistent enough to describe it as a good performance.

Bizarre we didn't give Ross and Ferrie a run I thought.

If I had anything negative to say about a 4-1 victory it would be this. We all know what Harry Paton can do, especially half fit. Surely 3-0 up is the time to give Ferrie and Ross a proper run out.

Thought our penalty was ridiculous even by current standards.

Surprised their 'goal' even got that far, it looked a blatant foul.

I'd basically given up watching by the end but I think Casey was fouled first.

End of season stuff can be fun when you're in no danger and I quite enjoyed sitting back watching that today instead of worrying about every decision.

I can't help but feel - putting it mildly -  that some of these VAR decisions wouldn't have been going for us if the OF were visitors instead of Livi. Penalty was another farce - both in the amount of time it took to make the decision and the fact that the handball rule is fucking horrendous now.

2nd and 3rd goals were worth being there for and we continue to score some absolute belters this season. We did try to keep the ball down and play whenever we could and Livi looked uncomfortable when we did it. I thought Gent and Miller were the pick of the bunch for us today - enjoyed watching them both and it would be nice to think that we'll be seeing them next season (but in the case of Gent at least, I really can't see it).

Because it's been on the cards for ages - it was a pretty low key relegation for Livi, I was raging that not one player flopped to the ground and pretended to be upset at the end. Challenge for Livi will now be to turn into a team that has to win most games instead of not lose them. Well done to the young Livi boys for letting off the smallest item of Pyro ever seen in Scottish football - it was like someone had blown a match out and it made my day :)

From a Livi defensive perspective with the Nicholson goal, Devlin is marking Nicholson yet decides to drop off once the pass goes into Nicholson, who then has the space to shoot. I hate that tendency to Devlin, how he always has to drop off and be the last man. He refuses to step forward, actually press and tackle.

He also usually leans away from a shot too, hate seeing any of our players do that.

Having watched Sportscene, I can't help but have sympathy for Livi. I don't know if by the letter of the law it should be a penalty, but I would have found that harsh to be given against us.

I also didn't see that much wrong with their equaliser. It's one of those ones where if McGinn gets himself in front of Anderson, he will draw the foul, but it looks like he only got half way there and you could say he committed the foul.

Also, I had forgotten how ridiculously gung-ho we were leaving SOD 1v1 with Bruce Anderson at our first corner - I thought it as we took the corner and we really should've been punished by better finishing.

Weird to have felt so comfortable right throughout the game whilst there but to be able to list all of those - but those are the things that tend to go against you when you're having as poor a season as Livi are.

I guess Ketts could probably strengthen his points about his dislike of VAR with a mention of their equaliser this week.
