Hibs Stalemate, Fourth‑Place Focus & VAR Transparency Under Fire
from Motherwell Daft · host Gary Muircroft & Peter Elder
Crofty and Peter dive into a fiery weekend of Motherwell talking points — starting with the newly released VAR audio that has supporters across Scotland shaking their heads. The lads break down the controversial Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain challenge on Eli Just, with Peter noting how VAR “seemed to be reaching as far as they could to make sure that we'll keep this a yellow card” . They also dissect the Liam Gordon red‑card debate. Attention then turns to the 0–0 draw with Hibs — a stop‑start, scrappy affair where Motherwell controlled spells but lacked cutting edge in the final third. As Crofty puts it, “we weren't good enough in the final third… we didn’t ever look really like we were going to get beaten, but we didn’t look like we were ever going to win” . The disallowed goal for Oscar Priestman is unpacked, with Peter confirming it was “a miniscule, marginal call” decided by the striker’s heel being inches offside . Despite frustration, the pod stays positive: another clean sheet, fourth place intact, and seven games to go. The boys urge calm around criticism and highlight the team’s relentless work rate — especially Lukas Fadinger, “the masked marauder in midfield” . They wrap with shoutouts to the Well Society podcast, upcoming events, and more Motherwell legends interviews coming during the international break. Share and Follow :-)
