Desp Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Shite that the game was postponed but as others have said, with O'Donnell & Gallagher just off of three internationals in a week and Mugabe injured, it might not be the worst thing in the world from a Motherwell perspective. I'm pretty sure the majority of Premiership clubs will have these issues over the course of the season, it's just extremely unfortunate that we've been adversely affected, through no fault of our own, in consecutive games. As @craigkillie has mentioned, there's plenty of midweeks to get these games played when all are available. Hopefully all the St Mirren lads are OK and are back on the training pitch as soon as safely possible. Still, unbeaten in October eh? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a conspiracy to stop Motherwell from winning the league title. This has Lawells fingerprints all over it.... As for the Investigation into the Killie game. I really have no clue what the SPFL will do. Probably award a penalty to Killie or dock Motherwell points ! Would not rule any scenario out.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I would imagine that (almost regardless of the "breach") that the SPFL will do anything possible to avoid forfeiture/awarding points in these situations as at this early stage in the season it would create a huge hostage to fortune - and the doomsday scenario that might lead them to them having to do the same to Rangers or Celtic at a critical point. So far - the situation has "only" involved Killie, St Mirren and Motherwell - so there is zero pressure on the SPFL at this point to do anything significant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer mentioned last weekend we had an inspection done a day or two prior, you would think if any wrong doing was found it would have been public by now, but again its the SPFL were dealing with..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a point that self isolation, due to close contact, has resulted in some people who may test negative not "actually being ill", but your claim is simply not correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Really not getting the anger being directed towards St Mirren. It's unfortunate that this has happened but there's not really anything anyone can do. We've had 2 games postponed already as a result of Covid and chances are there'll be more.I think we're getting into dangerous territory with regards to people (not just footballers). There seems to be an assumption between some people that anyone who catches Covid has, somehow, been irresponsible which in most cases will be a lot of pish. Its just one of those things unfortunately.Hopefully the St Mirren players affected are all okay and by the time the game can be played we'll have Mugabi back and fired Ricki Lamie into the sun. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Posted this on the Motherwell thread and I think I would say the exact same thing in here. Quote Won't be that when it's our turn. Think we need to get this in perspective lads. Although as folk said I can see us playing tues/thurs/sat at one point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Lots of things can be true at once Mo Ross's comments were embarrassing and he's come over as a fanny St Mirren hitting out with a statement is a touch sad and give Ross's comments credence that they don't deserve Motherwell's public comments should be handled by Burrows, Robinson & Lasley, who are all quite good at that stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It was a daft, given his position, and incorrect (IMO) statement to make from Mo Ross. I'm sure the club will be somewhat embarrassed by it. However, it's not the first time, and I'm sure won't be the last that a club employee says something a bit daft. I mean, remember that time Tony Fitzpatrick said St Mirren were a Top 6 club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Club employees should be weary of appearing on radio and speculating. I hate a bland interview but a 'annoying the game was off, wish the opposition well, and hope covid goes away' was a smart move rather than getting drawn into speculation. Equally the whole statement thing is just giving into twitter fans who 'demand the club stand up for them and 'let them know everything as they are paying in £10 a week'. It could have been done with a phone call to Motherwell to complain about the allegation, with no doubt a wee apology from Motherwell without any need for a statement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit overly dramatic to me. However, as you say, there would no doubt be a degree of online outrage if the perception was that we had sat back and taken no action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
