Unhappy St Johnstone fan goes viral after what he said around Motherwell TV commentator

An unhappy St Johnstone fan goes viral after what he said around an Motherwell TV commentator after Motherwell’s late winner.

Motherwell earn a late victory in stoppage-time away at St Johnstone with Moses Ebiye scoring in the 94th minute after Benji Kimpioka cancelled out Dan Casey’s opener at McDiarmid Park.

A commentator was left stunned by what he had heard coming from the home fans near him after Motherwell snatched all three points.

Commentator: Unbelievable. Motherwell win it right at the death. Brilliant! Brilliant! St Johnstone fans not happy in front of me. I don’t care.

A St Johnstone fan in the background was then caught saying: “See that microphone? I’m gonna shove that so far up your arse you’ll never be able to get the fucker out! You ever talk to me like that again you little…”

Commentator: “St Johnstone fans absolutely delighted. I hope you picked that up. Ridiculous.”

@luke_irons_4, the commentator, tweeted: “Up there with one of my favourite afternoons on the mic 🤣👍🏻”

@scott_gibson_ added: “I can confirm @luke_irons_4 is fine and is celebrating a good win. Carried himself with absolute class despite some of the stuff getting said to him 👍 The abuse has been reported, not sure why four gentleman thought it was ok to have a go at a commentator but there we go.”

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell said after the game, per Daily Record: “It was a trait we’ve had for the last 19 months or so that I’ve been here as a manager that we do score a lot of late goals, and we’re going to need that over the course of the season.

“It’s a brilliant way to celebrate, going into the international break, but we’re going to need more of that, going into the season, no doubt.

“It’s great. Genuinely, you see the elation from myself, the staff and my players, and especially supporters – it’s a great way to enjoy your weekend.

“We stuck with it, we believed that we could get a winner, and I think you could see that in the changes we and St Johnstone made – both teams were trying to win the game.

“But it’s a brilliant feeling for us at our club, it keeps that wee bit of consistency going from us.

“Moses is that laid-back, but he got the final touch on it, and that’s what we thought we were bringing to the club, someone who sniffs out a chance, sniffs out a goal, and he’s done it a few times for us already.

“Again, we’re going to need more of that from him over the course of the season.”

St Johnstone boss Craig Levein said post match, per the Courier: “It was hugely frustrating because I thought we played well in spells when we had the ball and did a lot of the things we’re trying to do.

“We’ve got the goal back and have a chance in the game then we’ve not defended a set-piece properly.

“It’s one of the most basic things in football.

“We have players who are capable of making first contact, which is the thing that helps you defensively.

“But we just made a backside of it today.

“If we were playing s*** I wouldn’t mind so much because I’d go home and just think we’re not very good.

“But that’s not what I’m seeing on the training ground or for long spells in games.

“Last week we lost a set-piece goal and that’s two again today.

“So we can go on the training ground to work on that side of things, but genuinely, a lot of the time defending set-pieces comes down to a desire to get to the ball first.

“Ross made two good saves from set-pieces and I don’t remember him having to make one from open play.

“It was all from set-pieces or the aftermath.”

@stevengrant3: Scottish football at its best

@grantrussell_: Get it right up him. Not the microphone, just for clarity.

@jmcoxford: Scottish football at its best

@JimHearson: The good thing about shoving a microphone up someone’s arse is it’s probably wired, so you can pull on the cable like Ariadne’s Thread.

@MARKOCO24434497: This is fantastic… Instead of addressing the disgruntled St Johnstone fan, he simply commentates on him!! 🤣🤣

@Beverley1886: Love this! 🧡🧡🧡

@danieloverett_: Scottish football is unrivalled for patter hahahahahahaah

@PanchosNachos: Happens every time we go there and score, same guy and his four pals (and young grandson) just angry at everything. Totally unacceptable and embarrassing really, although it does make the 3 points even sweeter 😎
