I think hearts were better but they weren't cutting through us and missing sitters. They had one shot in each half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also GMS' brainfart attempt from 40 yards when a pass to one of two players would've seen a third. Oh, and the missed penalty. We could've had six, easy. Motherwell good in patches but far too dirty. We handed you a win, you did little in the match, we weren’t good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nae need for salt, well beaten on the day no matter how some might try to twist the stats. Hearts well worth their win and will be right up there for the European spots come the end of the season. Bad day at the office for us, but no matter what happens in tomorrow's games we'll still be in the top 4. Better than even the biggest optimist could have predicted after the Airdrie debacle. A wee reality check but still feeling positive about the season ahead. Up the 'Well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The first goal comes from cutting Motherwell open. Once we were 2-0 up and comfortable there wasn't as much of an onus on creating chances for the remaining 70 minutes, but we still did. McKay had a moment early in the second half when he just had to roll it across the six-yard box for Boyce but blazed it out for a throw. Devlin had a shot just wide from about 8 yards out just before the second penalty. Then there was the penalty itself, which came from Devlin being in a good position at the corner of the 6-yard box. Baningime had a good effort well saved from inside the box. There was a great move which led up to Halliday slicing a volley wide from the edge of the box. GMS just had to get his effort on target late on (and should have played Boyce in for a one-on-one anyway). Watt should have scored his chance and Woolery should have done better with his, but it would have needed a very good finish from there to beat Gordon. There were other chances, but they weren't anything better than we had in the second half even excluding the fact we missed a penalty. We played some good stuff today, created plenty and were well in control of the game until the penalty miss/Halkett injury. Motherwell put us under pressure after that and on another day it might have finished 2-2, but the same could be said of 3/4-0 for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I thought both the pens and the free kick were dubious at best, and on another day it would have been a draw. We played okay and still won, which is the mark of champions* *I'm now officially on brand we'll win the league until at least November when we usually run out of steam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree the second one is on the soft side (although it also should have been retaken). I couldn't remember the challenge for the free-kick until I watched it back just now and it's as blatant a foul as you can get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the only angle the officials couldn't see....I'd have been shouting for it was it us to be fair. Just found it odd that the referee was 100% certain from his angle to overrule the linesman who gave a corner. You can't guess doing that and I think he has. Big call to make and I've seen them not given. Edited October 3, 2021 by superward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ascending order of coolness lay it off to Smith, Round the keeper and score, or find Cochrane who was steaming into the box at a rate of knots but Kelly wouldn't be sure what was happening behind him Fundamentally once Mugabi was caught flatfooted Kelly was in a serious predicament. From the moment He and Boyce set off I expected him to force a penalty Edited October 3, 2021 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the moment He and Boyce set off I expected him to force a penalty I was happy with Kelly setting off but he had to realise he wasn’t getting there, Boyce was angling away from goal and on the goal line, by the time he turned Kelly should be back in his goal and there are 5 defenders back. Boyce may have picked out an excellent pass but nothing else in the game suggested that would happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 A bit early but I would be interested if Hearts have any feedback from their Covid ‘trial’. At the game it was all very cordial, if you had a pass head for pass guy, if not head straight in. At pass guy I showed my paper copy, he had a glance, thanked me and sent me on into the ground. Will they have gleaned anything from that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 The main thing was to try and gauge capacity to do it for real, so they were aiming for about 20% checked. Seemed to not be checking anyone closer to kick-off though, and the big test will be when one of the anti-vaxxer Sturgeon out crowd is told they can't get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they have gleaned anything from that? At the gorgie end they just asked en masse if people had the passports. Never checked or asked anyone specifically, in fact I seen them tell someone offering to show theirs that they didn't need to see it. Tbh its unworkable and I don't envy anyone being asked to check them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
