Labour waved through projects in England, but blocks £1.5bn of investment in renewables and 1,500 jobs in the Highlands. Grangemouth. Mossmorran. Offshore jobs. Now Ardersier. Scotland is an afterthought to Westminster. We need a fresh start with independence.

@marky1877 @pieandbov Don’t be so ignorant of course the club and majority of fans do not condone simulation

@mfcESF @pieandbov That’s on him, no one else. As a St Mirren fan, I’ve called out our own players in the past and will continue to do so. Motherwell are upset with the wrong people here. Slattery should have been hammered by the club but given Elliot Just done similar, it appears it’s condoned.

An awful lot of revisionism taking place about the Slattery ban that was dished out yesterday. First of all, the referee did NOT see the incident, he had his back to it as play was miles away from where it happened. The assitant referee also missed it. The red card was advised by the 4th official via communication to the ref who really then had no choice but to give it, presumably thinking VAR would call a review if something was amiss. VAR, for whatever reason, decided it wasn't a clear and obvious error so did not seek to get involved. You can probably imagine, in real time, what the 4th official might have thought he saw. The failure here, other than the cheating itself of course, is that VAR just shrugged it's shoulders and decided there was nothing amiss. Had VAR done it's job, the red would have been overturned, and I don't even think Slattery would have got booked, and the incident would have passed with virtually no further comment. As it is, Saints were reduced to ten men for 30 mins, during which they lost two further goals. Motherwell benefitted from this cheating, like it or not, and the player has now been punished for his role in that and made an example of. Players dive and simulate every week, in EVERY team, yes, but the tech is supposed to be there to help eliminate penalties or red cards being given after simulation. In 2026 a player in the Premiership should not be getting sent off as a result of a player blatantly simulating violent conduct. Motherwell expecting "consistency going forward" are going to be disappointed because the chances of all of the events that happened here taking place again are incredibly slim. Slattery has paid the price for the VAR failure here, but end of the day, he's cheated, and he knew full well what he was doing. Keep seeing folk crying about a 4 game ban. It's a two game ban, same as Richard King would have got for his supposed "violent conduct". It only becomes 4 if he does it again, and although in this particular individuals case you can never rule that out (he had already feigned violent conduct against St.Mirren this season at Fir Park) the chances of him doing it again, and getting a fellow pro sent off again, are negible for the reasons I've already given.

@pieandbov Losing one of your most influential players with European football on the line, aye mate I’m sure you wouldn’t be

@mfcESF If I was sitting 4th in the league I'm not really sure I'd be that arsed mate!

Hall of Fame level stinker

@DunlopDougie @MotherwellFC Agreed, still think that punishment is harsh but consistency is crucial from the SFA now they’ve set the precedent, doubt we’ll see it though

@mfcESF @MotherwellFC Regardless, he deserves a harsh punishment it was blatant cheating, there needs to be consistency now across the board to wipe it out of the game, but can't see it

We can confirm that following a SFA hearing, Callum Slattery has been handed a four-match suspension, two of which are suspended. We will watch and expect consistency going forward so that Callum isn’t treated differently to any players who are accused of simulation. 📝 bit.ly/3NZM8b6

@pieandbov In no way denying that he cheated, he should be punished and I believe it shouldn’t be a part of the game, but the reality is that it happens every game in one way or another and that a 4 game punishment is very harsh

@mfcESF Absolutely not. I think everyone, even the most ardent Motherwell fan, knows that Slattery dived to get King sent off. Why he chose to that when his team was winning 3-0 is anyone's idea, but he 100% cheated, and he deserved to be punished for it.

Justice served.

@HumeDuncan @MotherwellFC Mate you can’t be this thick, I fully understand what happened I don’t need some mouth breather explaining to me. My point is that simulation is a yellow card offence yet he’s been punished with a 4 game ban, the punishment is the issue not the offence, fs.

@mfcESF @MotherwellFC Because he convinced them he was struck in face and var failed to catch it, which is what he wanted. Hope we get consistency but it's cheating

@DunlopDougie @MotherwellFC That has zero bearing on an isolated incident

@mfcESF @MotherwellFC Its a 2 game ban, 2 suspended, i think his reputation dosen't help is what Im saying

@JoelRobert34254 @MotherwellFC Can I quickly point out that this ban is in relation to an isolated incident

@mfcESF @MotherwellFC Cuz he’s done it like 8 times

@TonyRae1 @MotherwellFC Blatant irrelevant Raith Rovers fan input

@mfcESF @MotherwellFC Blatant cheating

@DunlopDougie @MotherwellFC Please enlighten me as to how being known for something translates to a 4 game ban

@mfcESF @MotherwellFC Hes known for it

Won’t be long for St Mirren fans to chime in and tell us they’ve won the diddy cup this year

@MotherwellFC On field simulation is a yellow card. How is a four match ban consistent with that. As long as they punish everyone from now on, but you know they won’t. Will we start to retrospectively punish players now? In that case Oxlade Chamberlain due a red card.

@dynamic_000 @WowsThe @WilVonHomburg @FaeTheYY @_MH93 It’s not even worth arguing with him mate he’s so fucking dense it’s incredible

@WowsThe @WilVonHomburg @FaeTheYY @_MH93 Are u a spastic

@WowsThe @strathisla_sosa @FaeTheYY @dynamic_000 @WilVonHomburg @_MH93 @grok It’s actually quite impressive that you’re willing to absolutely double down on this grand delusion you have

@strathisla_sosa @mfcESF @FaeTheYY @dynamic_000 @WilVonHomburg @_MH93 @grok Who gives a fuck. Worth it to prove how much shite you talk, and how much of a cunt you have made of yourself . 😂😂🫵🫵
