Scottish Football

[Corky]

The one time the top of this league is vaguely interesting and it will end up with the usual outcome.

[RonnieTodger]

Celtic win the league and Spurs stay up. What a waste of everyone’s time.

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

 

Because it isn't.

Apparently they literally had one look and decided it was a penalty.

 

But surely had to be a clear obvious error ?

[Rubbersoul]

That decision absolutely stinks and is honestly very very dodgy.

 

Celtic will now win the league. Corrupt. 

[Corky]

Did the foul on the Motherwell player go to VAR? That looked a clear trip.

[Muzzy_no7]

It’s an absolute non-event. Literally nothing has happened.

 

The VAR officials have jumped on the chance, with the league officials no doubt on their shoulders or in their ears and gone fully in.

 

It goes down to one big game at Scotlands biggest ground and likely generates an extra few hundred grand, possible millions.

 

Corrupt. It needs calling out for what it is.

[Dan]

Another total fix.

[Torten]

Peno stank 

[ClaphamFox]

Sweet Jesus that was a horrendous decision. The ref couldn’t wait to give it even though the evidence wasn’t there. What a joke. 

[Rubbersoul]

The ball goes flying away like it’s come off the head (which it has) No Celtic players even appealed hahaha. 
 

You feel for Hearts but unfortunately calls were made and you’re powerless against these things. Massive fix and it needs to be called out 

[Corky]

Yeah, that ball travels a long way off a stationary arm.

[ian__marshall]

I usually couldn't give a damn about the SPL, but I've followed the Heart's story this season romanticising over a giant killing. 

 

Could this season get any worse.

 

Arsenal finally about to break their duck, Villa likely to win a major European trophy, Spurs likely to avoid relegation at the last minute due to a dodgy refereeing decision, Forest staying up and reaching a European Semi Final, Cov winning the league, Ipswich and likely Southampton who both finished below us last season being promoted, us getting relegated, Lincoln being above us for the 1st time in history.

 

Feel like I'm in a simulation where someone's trying to test how far they can push me until I break. 

[Kitchandro]

I swear you cannot go a day without something dodgy ruining something you might otherwise enjoy. Even if you stop paying attention to sports, the corrupting force of money creeps into every facet of life.

[Foxdiamond]

Hearts definitely on the end of two dodgy penalty decisions both involved Motherwell benefitting Celtic

[Sunbury Fox]

By the way, I was really impressed by Motherwell. Doubt we have any chance of tempting their manager to League One but would love to see us playing brave, high energy, attacking football like that next season.

Feels more like he heads the ball whilst his arm is there too in a jumping up action.

 

Unsurprisingly O’Neil thinks it’s a penalty.

That absolutely stinks

[Leicesterpool]

SPL giving Celtic an helping hand there in the end.

Does that penalty affect the table though? Celtic would still need a win either way.

Motherwell still need to get a point at Hibs.

 

Did I miss something or was that penalty inconsequential?

 

Edit: just seen the BBC match report which explains that it means Celtic no longer have to win by three goals. My brain somehow thought that Celtic's GD was superior.

[Kitchandro]

Listening to everyone of a Celtic persuasion claiming it is a penalty is sickening as well. People like O’Neill, Scott Brown, Bonner. They should actually be called out by the other pundits and managers for being dishonest. You can see it’s bounced off his head, why lie? Just admit you’ve had a slice of luck you didn’t deserve.

Celtic now only have to win 1-0 instead of 3-0.

Yes. In effect Celtic only need to win by one goal.instead of 4.

Corruption, plain and simple

Simple - hits hand, penalty..

 

Either way, it was very risky to put his hand that up in the first place tbh.
