Hear! Hear!

Absolutely this! 🧡❤️🧡

Alpha FC fans without the bus fare.

I agree JBA will be off. Unfortunately, I don't think the leagues elsewhere are much better. I remember reading a long article years ago about how Arsene Wenger was screwed over by Bernard Tapie's match fixing in the French League. And then there were all the corruption issues in the Italian leagues. In the EPL we had Fergie Time and all the late goals and late pens Man U won on a regular basis. Money talks, especially with the billions floating around these days, and it's the big clubs that always get the benefit of the decisions.

There was only 10 seconds of added time left when the incident occurred. So adding time for the VAR wouldnt have occurred. Barely enough time to allow the penalty to be taken.

Scotland v Denmark. Kenny McLean.

I dont think anyone would argue that Celtic fans arent the worst at Fir Park. They absolutely are. The problem by focusing on that is you ignore what goes on away from Fir Park. Anyone looking at the Glasgow Derby at Ibrox and suggesting that the Union Bears were justified in their behaviour because Celtic fans encroached onto the field to celebrate are absolutely deluded. Our fans seemd to contain themselves last night. And that wasnt an isolated incident. I submit the masked marauders in Santa hats running amok in Glasgow City centre earlier in the season. For the avoidance of doubt, what happened at the end last night was a disgrace (particularly as it effected those in the disabled section most acutely) and the club should absolutely be complaining in the strongest possible terms to the SPFL and SFA and sanctions would undoubtedly be appropriate. However, when you apply broad brush steokes to a situation to suit your own agenda, you tend to lose the room.

Exactly 👍

It was a bit of a shock to see the players starting the game with it last night, but i agree it a cracking looking strip, with no tacky sponsor logos to spoil it.

Its a certainty that if the incident is discussed on the Var review and i have my doubts,,there will be some mysterious technical issue to explain why its not available, hearing Dallas shouting "penalty, penalty, stonewaller, no need to check John" would not be a good look.

Watched the replay of the Hearts game I could hardly believe that the Hearts fans were actually singing Stand Up and sing for Motherwell. When we scored our goals. 😇

This decision isn't something that can wait for Collum's monthly excuses. They should be releasing the audio for it now

The police would have been celebrating with them.

Yes, cheating.

The crux of it is that VAR has called the ref and a subsequent pen has been givien on the basis of unclear footage/still image evidence, with the additional criteria required for it to be punishable being ignored (Deliberately making body bigger).

Being terrified of Celtic is not justification for cheating. If it appears an official is genuinely compromised, and there is ample evidence to suggest that is the case for many of them, then they should not be anywhere near Celtic games in the first place. The options cannot be either cheat or have your windows panned in. If that is the situation, they should be removed from officiating in the Premiership entirely until they can prove they are fit and competent to do the job. That would require competent leadership, accountability, and real change, which we clearly do not have at the SFA with chief clown Collum in charge.

Agreed.

Hibs are on a run now. At home, with the officials help we have no chance. After last night relying on Celtic to win a cup so we get Europe gives me the boak.

Ralstons foul throw being ignored then in the lead up? Is Trusty going to be Slattery'd for his antics at the incident? Should managers be having private conversations with Collum? Hows about full disclosure. Our game is a laughing stock this morning. Heads should roll, but we know nothing will change in anycase. Scunnered does not even cover it.

Penalty incident aside, some of our supporters really need a reality check. JBA has given us a team to be exceptionally proud of, regardless of how it ends. We outplayed a Celtic team for large parts of last night's contest - and this is a team chasing a title. Celtic's first goal was simply a moment of good fortune and an exceptional finish. The second was wonder strike. Yes, the season has not ended how we hoped and yes we may not get European football, but please look at the bigger picture. A squad that now has several very valuable assets - not all will be sold in the summer, but those who do go should fetch a more than decent fee, securing not only our short-term, but long-term future. A brand of football that many in the league envy - and so far distanced from what's been served up over the past few seasons. Crowds on the rise and a proper connection between club and its supporters. All of the above forms a very solid foundation and while JBA will be a wanted man, he will depart with us in good health both on and off the field, so much so we could entice some real managerial talent. Look at others in and around us. Hibernian may yet get fourth, but financially they are in a mess. Falkirk will be under pressure to repeat their efforts this season, and will likely have to do so losing one or two vital players from their squad. Aberdeen are in transition - a bloated squad full of under-achievers on big wages. Dundee, Dundee Utd and Kilmarnock will all undergo a turnover of players this summer, as will St Mirren should they stay up. St Johnstone have momentum and should compete, but for them consolidation will be the main aim. We have a wonderful opportunity to build on the foundations of this season. There is money in the bank, with more coming. European football would be an attractive proposition for any targets, but I don't think it's a deal breaker. JBA will have learned a lot from these last couple of months. Injuries haven't helped, and neither has a few players having a dip in form at an important stage of the season, but when you play all season at the intensity JBA wants, it's only natural some players will begin to feel the effects. A top six finish, a cup semi-final, challenging for European football - all of us would have bitten a hand off if this scenario had been offered to us before the season started. I think back to all the supporters at the start of the season who were critical of this style of play and how it would never work. Time and patience is in short supply in modern football, but for those who can't see what's being built then I feel sorry for you.

Nick Walsh the ref.

...An overdue yellow at that

Apparently Beaton decided to even the score as he felt guilty about having to give Maeda a yellow card.....an event more rarer than me telling a funny joke ( well..maybe not...🤪🤪)
