Funny how Walker's trying to justify that challenge.

 

Roon ye!

 

He's just said it was a justified red card.

Yes, I edited my post: credit where it's due.

Toral must be wondering what he's come into

Not often Walker will get any credit on here

Hyndman looks good

[Rousseau 9,782]

I like the patient build-up. Not many chances but I like the movement and control.

 

I'm impressed by Toral and Hyndman; they occupy good positions and their movement creates space.

Hyndman looks good

 

Sticking out!, unlucky with a good strike as well..

[Rousseau 9,782]

We've played quite well, considering. Halliday is a real liability though; touch, awareness and passing have been non-existent.

Interesting first half that. Crazy challenge from MOH sees him sent off but luckily McDonald made the same mistake - in fact his challenge was worse IMO.

 

In terms of the actual game, we've had some really good passages of play but also have given the ball away far too easily at times - especially Toral and Halliday. Hyndman looks a real prospect though whilst Miller and McKay look sharp again.

 

The game is there for taking but it could go either way as Motherwell look dangerous on the counter - especially when we give it straight to them.

The ref didn't go mental - it was a clear red

 

No, it wasn't, but we sure get a full analysis in the Scotsman about why Collum just saw it as a straight red. Same like last week's penalty that never was.

 

Kiernan's yellow was more red than MOH's, McDonald's also a very dark yellow one, given the way both players went for it. MOH tried to get out of the tackle but caught him hard still. Given what we are watching Scottish football, all three could have been yellow cards with a stern warning attached. At least Collum followed through with his approach (and given that, we are lucky that Kiernan is still on). that's my take on it and I won't debate it any further.

 

Toral isn't match-sharp, you would hope we introduce either Forrester and/or Waghorn soonish. Might also be a good opportunity for Dodoo.
