Motherwell’s Kettlewell Criticizes Officiating and Game Flow After Ross County Defeat

Stuart Kettlewell, the manager of Motherwell, asserted his lack of “ego” after facing criticism concerning referee Chris Graham following his team’s 2-1 loss to Ross County. Kettlewell expressed dissatisfaction with the standard of officiating during the match played on Saturday in Dingwall, specifically highlighting the extended pause for a VAR review of Zach Robinson’s goal scored late in the game. “Ross County will enjoy the day because they get three points, but I doubt anyone enjoyed that game of football,” the Motherwell manager stated. “There was never a flow allowed to the game because of the fouls given.” “I don’t have an ego in any shape or form, I just want to see a game of football played.” “I’m not looking for time-wasting. We can talk about the conditions, but if I was a paying supporter I would be incredibly hurt by that.” “We have to do better in the second half, but there can’t be one supporter in the stadium that enjoyed the lack of flow in that game.” “When we score, they look nervy, but we have to wait six minutes to get the game going again which kills any momentum we might have built.”
