Wiki Article

Stuart Kettlewell focused on Motherwells impre sive run despite failing to secure seventh place in the cinch Premiership after being pegged back in a 1-1 draw at Livingston.Kevin van Veen scored the games opener inside the first three minutes of the game, equalling the club record set by Hugh Ferguson 103 years ago by scoring in a 10th consecutive top-flight game.A late Andrew Shinnie equaliser rescued a point for the hosts Michael Pineda Jersey , who had their goalkeeper Shamal George sent off in the first half.Bo s Kettlewell said: I thought we did more than enough in the first half, I thought we were the dominant team when it was 11v11.I felt we got stuck down one side in every attack we made in the second half and thats disappointing.Without trying to be too happy in a situation where I felt we should have got three points and a clean sheet, I just have to kind of focus on the run weve been on which has been amazing.We were a long way behind Livingston when I took over 13 games ago and were still sitting a point ahead of them and still got a chance to get that seventh spot which is an amazing achievement in itself.I think in my time and weve had a look at this, Rangers are on about 28 points in the 13 games and we sit on 27 points Max Kepler Jersey so that maybe speaks for itself.Livingston bo s David Martindale admitted Georges red card was the correct decision, despite not agreeing with the way it was arrived at.Georges foul came during a pa sage of play where Van Veen was offside according to the officials, but the flag was not raised until the phase of play ended.He said: I thought it was a red in real time but I dont like this rule when somebodys offside and you make the challenge and in the old days, Im saying the old days but six months ago, the flag goes up and everybody else stops and the ref blows the whistle.I think if the boys offside and I Kirby Puckett Jersey know the foul has been made Im not so sure the decision should still stand in terms of the foul. Maybe if it was extreme force or exce sive force, yeah.Martindale was pleased with the way his side improved as the game wore on, saying: First half we were very, very pa sive, Motherwell turned it a lot and the front two worked very hard.I just thought it was a wee bit of a Jekyll and Hyde performance in terms of first half too pa sive, making bad decision, not aggre sive enough and second half I thought the boys were fantastic.
