Rugby, Motherwell, electrifying railways and a wee bit of politics.

@AnalysingTSP Really excited to see Hodge. Seems to be a propwr player and a serious oncestment from us. Fadinger and Priestman are the same height and both stand up well to the SPL physical side and Fadinger was, in a lot of Well fans eyes, our most important player last season.

@jimtstew @MotherwellFC @SteelmenNews @KTthegoalie Not one word on anybody else for the entire post game part. Poor show

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@AdamCla86997443 @alickwatt @bensmithrugby Nobody in scotland thinks that. Hope, yes, expectation, nope.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@Tommy45732 @alickwatt @bensmithrugby Ireland regularly win outside a world cup, but havent been past a quarter final, ever. So they fail when it really matters most, since everyone's entire strategy is based around a 4 year world cup cycle.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@AdamCla86997443 @alickwatt @bensmithrugby Yip. Thats why comparing Scotland losing to SA and SA narrowly beating Argentina is nonsense. Thats not how sport works.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@Tommy45732 @alickwatt @bensmithrugby You can level that exact same, and worse, at Ireland. For a their supposed world class level, they dont get anywhere in a World Cup when it matters

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@AdamCla86997443 @alickwatt @bensmithrugby And that same Scotland team comfortably beat Argentina.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@KaiGWatson Almost identical to the Maswanhise incident on saturday against Falkirk. But Motherwell got nothing despite it being in the box. But apparently even though they were the only 2 payers in the box, VAR couldnt see it......

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@SuzanneReid13 @rossscanlan93 @MotherwellFC Is it open on 27th to collect tickets?

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@ScottMacLeod123 @MotherwellFC Yip. Too slow. No threat. Longelo a mile off the pace.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@SherriffSteven @burnsychappy @AndyGoode10 Almost every thread on hwre Jones is getting blamed. Stupidly odd. I assume its jones' fault Conan was bounced by a scrum half playing the wing too?

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@RugbyInsideLine Russell, Beirne, Huwipolotu, JGP, sheehan and Genge class.
Lowe, keenan, connan struggeling a bit.
Lowe should be hooked.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@samdavey1993 @thepaulwilliams I would get why they wouldn't. I was a bit non plussed for years with no Scots in the mix.

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@thepaulwilliams Hmm. Would seem to be held at all

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@rugby_ap Didn't appear to be held at all

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@TightFive_Rugby He could have jumped with his arms I the air to at least make it look like he was trying to charge it down. Arms by his side, turns his shoulder. Didn't paint a great picture

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@rugby_ap That's a really shit take. Didn't mean it, but definitely didn't avoid the collision. Darcy also off with a head injury

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@TopDeckCat @philatrail The bigger issue we found was some "rooms" under the position of the old buffer stops that made the anchor foundations particularly problematic. They are not there now as the platforms are extended, but we built some fairly large concrete blocks into the platforms as founds

[Alan Kennedy @Ak79Alan]

@TopDeckCat @philatrail We were able to just about span the low level but had to be creative with their positioning, especially with the need for a temporary anchor when it was first wired, before the platforms were extended a couple of years later.
