Can someone please explain the offside law to Dessers?

Both good finishes though 🤣

In fairness to Ridvan, when you look at our goals conceded when he's been on the pitch it's outstanding.

 

We do seem to be better defensively when he's playing.

I thought he was very poor again today, especially in first half. Continually gave the ball away. He did improve 2nd half, but we really need a new left back.

If you watch the game again later I'm sure you'll find that, while Ridvan did give the ball away a few times, he didn't do more often than our other fullback.

A poor second half, but our players are starting to look too scared to go in for 50/50's, or hold the ball for fear of getting injured. I am amazed we managed to get through that game without picking up any more injuries. Thought Dowell, Sterling & Balogun all played a good 90 mins, compared to others who fell out of the game.

But we weren't discussing out other full back, we were discussing Yilmaz. 

 

Comparing Tavs contribution to Rangers and Yilmaz isn't even worthy of discussion.

My take from that is the Motherwell are a dirty team and the ref let them away with it for the entire first half.  I can't for the life of me see why VAR and the linesman thought Dessers second "goal" was offside.  We all thought it was on.  There were a few very good performances today and I didn't feel we were troubled much at all despite their second half possession.  Good solid performance with the game won in the first 15 minutes.   As an aside, Kenny Miller needs to get another job.
