Celtic v Motherwell 14/03/2026

[Big Stall]

Reality is we went to Celtic park to a team whose budget is astronomical compared to us. We dominated possesion but couldnt make it count. The game swung on the pen/red as we were 100% in it to that point & to be honest even after it until the third went in.

Was it a pen - probably yes. Bit double jepordy to get the red. Chamberlain should also have been off.

Disapointing yes, but we were neither humped nor humbled. Get back on the wins next week & close out the season strong. 3rd is still available if others fuck up which they will.....

We need to be asking for clarifications on the refereeing

Now that we are officially out of any title race, and despite Hearts being 1-0 down I make no apologies for saying I hope Hearts win 

Stopping either of those two Glasgow mobs winning this league will be a relief to most and hilarious, and as Billy Connolly once said a refreshing change

The whole fur coat no knickers narrative is simply pish.

Like you, I don't agree with this narrative. However, I get the reasoning behind it. Arguably, we're the best footballing team in Scotland. However, we failed to reach 2 cup finals and will finish 4th or 5th. There's a disconnect straight away. The bottom line is that too often we fail to turn quality possession into goals. 

To put that in context, we are very much work in progress  and everyone knows that we need to improve for next season. We, the fans, just need to reduce the hype and expectations for now and stay grounded.

Despite playing for 20 mins with 10 men we still had 53% possession. Shots 13 to 12 for Celtic. 6 to 3 for Celtic shits on target. 
I thought we were the better team first half and after 15 mins of second half we got passed Celtic being on top and had started to regain control before the red card threw us for a loop. 
  Of course, issues to work on but still a lot to like about our team. I’m expecting us to roar back the next few weeks at home. 

Wimmer talked about shoots on target but you have took it to a new level 🤣🤣.

It's just amazing how quickly some have forgotten the absolute dross we've watched under previous managers compared to this season. I'm not getting hyped I'm just happy to see the team play football the way it should be played and to great effect most weeks. Christ, we've earned it.

Ive just watched the highlights and that was never a  penalty, never mind a red card a feckin disgraceful decision, i cant believe useless cnuts like beaton and clancy get away with shit like that week after week with no accountsbility.

Rugby lead the way on how to use VAR.  We need to be taking lessons from them on how to do it properly.  I love the fact the refs broadcast the discussion to the stadium so everyone knows what is happening.  I think if our VAR did that there would be riots

[wellfan]

We got fucked again by inconsistent refereeing. Shock horror.

Makes it even more infuriating that sellik moan and whine about beaton. He gives them more decisions than any other team

It's almost as if they know their constant whining about him having an agenda against Celtic forces him to give them every debatable decision.

As for his actual competence as a ref, he made 4 huge calls in our games at Pittodrie and Parkhead, and VAR 'corrected' 3 of his clear and obvious errors.
