Scottish Football

[FrankieADZ]

football at the top levels now is just corrupt, plan and simple

[Sunbury Fox]

Disgusting decision. 

[jayfox26]

Never seen corruption like it. That's never been a pen in the memory of man

[Lionator]

To think the ref refused to give that last minute one for Hearts on Sunday too. 

[StanSP]

How bad are the decisions going to be on Sunday?! 

[Muzzy_no7]

Arsenal.

 

Celtic.

 

Sutton.

 

Vile.

[VLC86]

**** that.

[burleighfox]

Shambolic stuff. Stinks to high heaven; it’s like there’s no want to have any side other than the Glasgow two win it. Can’t see Hearts getting a result at Celtic this weekend.

[adam]

Unbelievable that is. No way was that clear. Cheating at its finest. 

[fox_up_north]

Just one year I want to see Celtic in the EPL and put back in their place

[Muzzy_no7]

Mcinnes knows the score.

 

He knows it’s corrupt.

 

He’ll call it out if it doesn’t go the right way at the weekend.

[RonnieTodger]

If you think that’s bad you should see the one they got at Kilmarnock in the exact same circumstances. Same old shite. 

[Staff]

How slattery didnt get a pen for getting cropped yet they've given a bullet header away as a handball is all you need to know about that absolute peasant league

[Angus Scott]

So Scottish football is as corrupt as in England

Genuinely you'd think they'd be happy showing the league has variety. Attracts more eyes and money

[Thefox81]

Cant believe that. One of the worst decisions of all time. Handball ffs? See how far the ball travelled once it hit him. No way a hand puts that much distance on the ball.

can’t even hide it 

BBC radio are as well. So blatant they’re all desperate for people to watch / listen at the weekend.

 

Clearly it’s an extremely controversial decision but they’re not even talking about it.

[adam]

Just seen the one Motherwell didn't get in the first half. At the end of the day that's why the big clubs all want VAR. 

[RowlattsFox]

That's probably that then. Going to take some effort from Hearts to go again. 

[Super_horns]

Ouch !

Fortunate Celtic but they still need to beat Hearts I guess .

It might have brushed his hand but he hasn’t made his silhouette bigger and his arm is affected by contact with the Celtic player 

 

it wouldn’t even be a review in a European tie 

 

and the pundits aren’t even discussing it because they know it’s all good for the broadcasters to have the showdown at Celtic park 

[Gary Eatfood]

If it’s handball, then his arm is only in that position because the Celtic player jumps underneath him.

Rotten. It’s been an awful week for VAR and top-level football in England and Scotland.

[fox_up_north]

Just feel for Scottish clubs and tbf all clubs in one team leagues. Football and sport is at its best when it's competitive, not when there's "quality".

 

I wonder how Celtic fans feel about always winning

[ian__marshall]

Wow. That is unbelievable. Clear Motherwell penalty earlier, ref wouldn't even look at it. Celtic get a dubious opportunity for a penalty decision in the last seconds of the game and they can't wait to award it. There's something not quite right there. 

 

The decision is real dodgy too. Player clearly gets his head on the ball. It may have touched his arm in the process, but his arm isn't in an unnatural position for anyone who is jumping, he can't pull his arm down as the Celtic players shoulder is under his arm pushing it upwards, and on top of all of that he clearly isn't trying to play the ball with his arm. The game's gone if you're awarding penalties for those sorts of situations.

 

If Hearts miss out now, serious questions need to be asked.

Even BBC are struggling to justify it and having to say it doesn't look like handball.

 

Because it isn't.
