Well technically he got a four match ban with one suspended and I don’t think what he said was that much worse, he said it was “disgusting” which is more or less what every Motherwell fan was saying about the decision. 
 

However I would like to see us as a club asking why he was served a four with one suspended whilst our player was given a straight four game ban. The fact that Watt is no longer our player is irrelevant, it was handed down to him whilst he was and he was perfectly within his rights to question such a ridiculous decision.

I think you need to look more closely at McInnes' comments.

Yes he said they were disgusting, but he also implied there was an agenda hence questioning the integrity of the officials.

Watt didnt do that. He just said it was tge worst VAR decision ever.

McInnes' comments were also in relation to a game he was not involved in.

He was also the manager aka "leader" of his club at that time, therefore in a position of trust, if you will.

The 2 cases are NOT comparable.

The fact that the individual committing the lesser offence received the greater punishment, might be described as "disgusting".

Just my opinion mind you.....

The SFA are a disgusting organisation.

Part of what McInnes said was also  along the lines of "I didn't need to ask who the penalty was for when I was told". What he said was definitely worse than anything Watt came out with.

The independent report into the OF pitch invasion is pretty damning for the SFA. It basically says that they are not using their powers consistently and I think there is an implication that they are far too lenient on the Old Firm in particular. 

In this particular situation, the two tier policing of Motherwell and Derek McIness could not be more blatant.

McInnes comments were said in anger on live television in the immediate aftermath of a highly volatile ending to the match at FP. His comments were heard by millions. They were inflammatory and clearly called into question the integrity of the officials.

Watt posts on social media to a considerably smaller audience, a comment that may question the competence of the decision but not the integrity of it and his punishment is worse.

You cannot get a more direct and obvious comparison. The SFA have had time to consider this response and will know themselves the discrepancies in this decision making so you have to come to the conclusion that they simply don't care.

Exactly this.

So  if the SFA felt that the VAR decision at Fir Park wasn't the worst ever, which one do they think is?

We are all forgetting something really important that has emerged on the other side of the pond over the last few weeks, we all know refereeing is corrupt to the bigger ugly teams with the budgets and influence but what they are not telling us about todays hearing  was that McInnes used the big red phone n called Donald….hence why his game was suspended….we are so silly arent we!
