Why ?

Every club has a sub keeper on the bench.

Why? Connelly is usually on the bench. Their first choice keeper is obviously injured.

Imagine if we were in M`well`s position. Pars` fans would be livid if we didn`t do what they`ve done in the circumstances.

Do Motherwell only have 3 keepers on their books across all their squads?

He`s 3rd choice at Motherwell. One of the guys in front of him is injured, so he`s now 2nd choice and needed on the bench for them - in a big game.

If they couldn`t recall him, we probably wouldn`t have got him at all. And he`s coming back to us on Monday.

It`s really unfortunate for us but I`m not sure why anyone is angry at Motherwell. If their keeper goes down today or is sent off, it would be completely negligent if their next best option wasn`t available.

Is that relevant? We have a young keeper out on loan at St Andrews but he hasn`t been involved in our crunch games.

Im not angry at Motherwell, Im angry at the system allowing it to happen…..if we hadn’t got him at all, we most likely would have gone for someone else and he’d be 3rd choice most of season not getting game time.

The system of allowing teams to recall players in emergencies when they have available players in their squads is the farcical thing here. The fact its also hindered our chances in last nights game, for him to (most likely) sit on the bench today for 90 minutes surely proves that?

We also named a young keeper amongst our subs the other week just to fill the bench……its relevant if it hampers us in a big game - which it did.

If Ox remains on the bench today, will Motherwell compensate us in some way for being affected?
