OLAS Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Chris Sutton's football knowledge is fukkin unnatural. How does he get a gig is beyond me. 13 minutes ago, Angus_Young said: Hamilton two down.at Ayr. Early days of course but you've got to think they will struggle to stay up this season.

Angus_Young Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 He really is a fanny. Although I agree with what he has just said. I seen 45 minutes and we could have won it by 5 goals. Dominated possession and looked sharp but.......we seem incapable of dealing with simple balls into the box. I dont want to sound like a crabbit bassa but Motherwell weren't in the game at any point in the second half but still managed to miss a couple of absolute sitters. Remains a worry for me I have to say. Ref has had a couple of strange ones there towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fermer Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Never seen well v gers game as just back but serious question. Was it a decent game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I thought it was a good game. Plenty of chances and refereeing cock ups. Very pleased to win ad particularly pleased with our 2nd half performance and the chances we created. Defense is still a worry though.

sbcmfc Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I was watching a different game. Rangers dominated the 2nd half, but at half time I thought Motherwell were the better team, and should've been ahead. Did ref get a big call wrong? Thought Rangers had a decent shout for a handball, but don't remember anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, probable penalty for us for handball and, in that same 10 minute spell, we had a good advantage brought back for no reason after a shirt tug on McKay (which didn't get the booking it merited) and one of our players should have been booked for a lunge. Thought we were by far the better side but conceded the best chances in the first half and a few in the 2nd too. Overall, deserving winners.

sbcmfc Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The Samson one looked like a chest to me, but I only saw it at the game. (Do the tv pictures show otherwise?) Waghorn looked offside aswell... I know the advantage you are talking about, Rangers won possession when a Rangers player brought down Johnston and handled simultaneously to set up the attack. to be fair to the ref, he gave a few seconds for an advantage to develop, and just as he blew the advantage became apparent.

Dont disagree that overall Rangers deserved to win, although had we taken our early chances, it could've been very different. Hard to tell if Rangers were better in the 2nd half and scored, or were better because they scored.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell if Rangers were better in the 2nd half and scored, or were better because they scored.... As I said above I only seen since half time and thought we dominated the full second half and should have scored a good few more. Again though I can think of 4 good chances you boys had, albeit one of them with seconds to go. So on the balance of play, aye we deserved it but couldn't have moaned if you had got something as we looked amateur at the back at times. Mate at the game agrees with you about the early stages but reckons we came into it towards the end of the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Fitness wise we fell off a cliff after 30 mins. Can't afford to miss chances like that. Oh well; hopefully win the last 3 games and pick up a best runners up spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have Motherwell got a poor support? U would think I should know as I did a market research study in 1991 after they had won the cup. John Swinburn the Commercial Manager came to us. 30,000 at cup final then first home game after winning it had around 5000. I got Marketing students to do a whole 6 months research study and still never came to a conclusion!! And I worked next door to fir park for 23 years. Probably the same old story though. Rangers and celtic buses leaving by the drove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath equalised in stoppage time with a handball after Bell had made a cnut of coming for a cross. Look very dodgy through the middle at the back, and need another striker. Not overly concerned, but not terribly exciting either. Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite me believing that Canning will get Accies relegated it is worth noting that in recent years the team are renowned for not giving 100% in cup competitions therefore wouldnt judge them on todays poor showing Staying in the SPL is the one and only priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be too critical as it's the first game, but our defending, especially ball into the box remains a concern for the season ahead.

dave Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Motherwell seem to run out of steam a wee bit just after half time after a good first half. It really could have ended 4-4. Windass looked a really good player when he came on and MOH looked really sharp. Yet again we are far too open in the middle of the park but hopefully with the introduction of Barton and Rossitor things will tighten up a lot. I'd like to see Jordan Thompson get a few games this week as been hearing a lot of good things about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early days but on that showing they will struggle all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
