Success for Pearson

Stephen Pearson's red card against Partick Thistle has been reduced to a caution after a review panel heard the player's case today ( Wednesday )

Referee John Rowbotham had claimed the midfielder had elbowed an opponent and gave Pearo a straight red card but no one inside the ground saw the incident apart from the referee. The TV cameras failed to pick it up and there was no complaints from the Thistle players.




Motherwell 2 - 2 Partick Thistle


This now means Stephen can now play at Easter Road on Saturday and like other Motherwell players hopefully prove we aren't a one man team since the departure of James McFadden.
