Scottish Football Thread

where are you getting this from that VAR didn’t show him every angle? Has there been an episode of refwatch today. Are you talking about the angle from behind the goal?

If you agree that there is conclusive evidence that it was a penalty then we agree that the correct decision was made.

I think a lot of fans bar Celtic fans and a lot of the media were desperate for a Leicester City type moment in Scotland with Hearts. There is another game left and Hearts only need a draw. For me the fairytale would be Celtic under MON at the age of 74 still lifting the title despite a strange season with poor stewardship of the club under Desmond and a horrendous tenure under Wilfried Nancy in the middle of it. If it wasn’t for that Celtic would already be champions.

Still another game to go and still all to play for for Celtic and Hearts. It was the right call last night for the penalty at the end of the second half, a stonewall penalty at the end of the first half didn’t get awarded and seems to be completely ignored and forgotten.

The narrative has moved from the ball did not touch his hand to Trusty pushed the guys arm up over his head… it is unreal the amount foaming at the mouth about that incident. There could have been three reasons to give a foul and hence the penalty

1. Hearts defenders pushing Trusty
2. Hearts defender elbowing Trusty
3. Hearts defender handling the ball

The clear foul on Maeda at the end of the first half is swept right under the carpet. As for McInnes and his comments about the penalty.. well that should result in a charge from the SFA and a touchline ban.

Which showed the handball, the release of the footage from the pitchside camera and the photo still from the pitchside photographer today validates the decision. The people claiming this was the worst decision ever clearly do not watch football.

There are two ways VAR can intervene

1. Clear and obvious error
2. Serious missed incident

The referee missed the incident and VAR intervened using intervention 2 and asked the referree to review. The referee reviewed and decided it was a handball therefore a penalty.

Two questions

Do you think VAR was wrong to use intervention 2?

Do you think the referee was wrong to decide it was handball?

3 I think

Do you get the irony of Celtic, as one of the big 2 playing the victim. For 100+ years all the other Scottish clubs could not buy a break against the two of ye.

It is Motherwell and Hearts (and others) who are playing the victim here as Celtic won the game

I know but the greetin for Hearts made it seem Motherwell were irrelevant

The hysterical reaction to the officials correctly awarding a foul against Motherwell the other night continues

how’s Elding been playing? Don’t watch Scottish football but check it on livescore and seems to be starting most matches but not as many goals as when he started

Terrible match so far. i can understand Hearts keeping behind the ball but they just keep giving it back to Celtic. Even as poor a Celtic team aas this should manage a couple of goals today

What is happening is all so blatant since during the week.

Clear handball and still you have folk saying it was not! They would declare black is white

You for real?
