Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

A couple of observations from Saturday 

1. as Hibs had a man sent off, Motherwell had to present only 10 men for penalties, Gallagher was the man to stand off the pitch

2. SOD was firing in xAssists, is that a thing?

3. is Dec’s tooth in or out

If he wasn't injured then that's pretty poor form from the club captain. For me that's who should be leading by example.

You get to pick someone to not take one. What more advantage do you want?

I thought that technically having less chance of your goalkeeper taking one would be more of an advantage.

However, the way things with our team are, it wouldn’t surprise me if Kelly happened to be our best penalty taker too.

And Gallagher fancied it less than Kelly? Does either them have previous (good or bad) with penalties?

I'm assuming opting Kelly out of the shootout also means he wouldn't be in goals.

It was handy Kelly staying on

I suppose if it goes all the way round it would avoid a situation where one team is back to their first pick and the other one is on their goalie

I think this is the reason

Could have been dental advice?

Kelly would have been in my original penalty takers  one of the best strikers of a dead ball at the club !!!

Who was going to take no. 5?  Watt, O’Donnell, someone else?

Think it would have been O’Donnell 

Am a great believer in just putting your laces through the ball (Ahla Tommy Gemmell )

Not sure why goalkeepers don’t take more penalties as they are involved with more dead ball situations than most players on the pitch

Who was the keeper in England years ago who almost burst the net with a penalty? the keeper was lucky not to get a hand to it, it might have broken his wrist.
