'We weren't at the races'

We asked for your views on Motherwell's 4-0 defeat by Celtic.

Here's what some of you said:

Michael: It's time Stuart Kettlewell stopped blaming and criticising referees. He is becoming like a broken record every week. He has to look no further than himself and the team. Six shots and one on target in the last two games. Says it all. It's not a new phenomenon, it's been typical of the season.

Alan: When you consider the value of both squads, Motherwell managed to do very well in the first half. However the strength and creativity of Celtic, along with class showed through in the second half. Given the money invested in both squads it ends up men against boys, but credit to the 'Well for their effort. Financially it's never going to be even!

Billy: Stop complaining about the officials, it's becoming boring. The next few games should be interesting.

David: Motherwell have punched above their weight more than anyone in Scottish football, but this result is just further evidence of the growing cavern that exists in Scottish football. No one can compete with Celtic and their ever increasing budget.

Andy: Zero shots and 16% possession is embarrassing. No effort at all to get something out of the game. Kettlewell has mentioned we needed to better on the ball. What is he doing about it? Feel sorry for Lennon Miller with the tactics.

Craig: Conceding the penalty on the stroke of half time never helps - not saying it would have changed the final outcome, but it would've given us something to build upon going into the second half. I've not seen a decent replay, but there looks to be minimal contact at best!

James: Shocking penalty decision, but we were not at the races in the second half. Not positive enough, a vast improvement required.
