"That's fair. We don't want them to stop doing that. But we are not living in a dream world here. We're in truth, trying to improve and win whatever we can.
"Which's one football game at a time, due to the fact that we do not play 2 or 3 or four or five or 6 at a time, we play one at a time and I think the gamers have actually been actually proficient at just trying to bridge that space."

Motherwell have actually lost when in 19 league video games and just conceded 6 goals throughout that spell.

Robinson included: "Let me please not take anything away from Motherwell - they're probably the finest group in the league. Very, really excellent at what they make with an outstanding manager. But we actually gifted them four goals.
"Would they have won the video game anyway? Yes, they would have done. They were much better than us, far better than us.
"I'm embarrassed by the performance. I'm embarrassed by the result. I hope the players are too."
