Last Nights handball

[JUSTaway]

Surely that decision last night makes calls for foreign refs in the top flight stronger? However the SFA wouldn't like that as they do anything for the two arse cheeks. If that was given the other way, that was never given.

I think they are just sh1t, Hibs scored a goal a few weeks ago against Celtic when the guy clearly only scored cause it came off his hand.

Wouldn't be surprised if hearts get a dodgy one now on Saturday.

Do you know who and where they are playing mate?.

20 seconds to review it!!! he had already thanked the gods VAR had made the decision for him. The collusion is unreal.

If it had been down south, with ‘proper’ VAR, there would have been umpteen camera angles available to give a better assessment. As it is, with our knockdown, bargain basement Poundland VAR, there was only one camera angle available and even at that it was way up in the main stand. Absolutely phucking hopeless. As well as that though (and it’s not just this one we’re talking about here) the whole ethos of ‘clear and obvious errors’ has been totally chucked out the window. Like Dalby’s goal v Hibs last season, if it’s taking the VAR team 2-3 minutes to pour over something back, forward and back again in an effort to ‘find’ something then it’s hardly ‘clear and obvious’. That stops becoming eliminating howlers but instead re-refereeing matches which is another thing entirely.

The other paradox as well is the original ref’s decision. What if Beaton had given that on field? Would he have been called over to review it, or would it have stood following the VAR check? We all know the answer - penalty to Celtic.

My own opinion

The Celtic pen the other night was ridiculous. No way could that have been a clear and obvious error.
From my own looking at it I don?t think it hits his hand, the head contacts to send the ball large distance out of play

Hearts should have had the pen when Kyziridis has his foot stood on v Motherwell - which was a big call

Assuming shanks scores the penalty awarded that would be difference of 4 points to hearts over Celtic

I also agree Hearts are one of the worst teams (as well as old firm) for diving about and the Fatah incident was particularly bad

So Hearts have been at it some times but they should have had better decisions from the refs

Personally I hope hearts win on Saturday

I think what pissed me off about Wednesday night (apart from the ridiculous Celtic penalty) was Delboy getting all indignant and wholly righteous like the world is against us and we don’t get any decisions. Really? Just off the top of my head they got a handball goal and an extremely dodgy penalty at Ibrox, a dodgy penalty v Well at Tynecastle, a dodgy sending off v Celtic for a supposed DOGSO and of course the farce that was the entire 90 mins at Tannadice in January. Celtic have been indulged and massively benefited on Wed night, but Hearts can hardly claim that they’ve gotten absolutely nothing. That’s just utter bollox.

It pissed me off that he was complaining about the officials from a game his side weren't even playing in!

[JUSTaway]

The lines for the offside Livi goal against us midweek looked like they were drawn in crayon by someone with the shakes.

[Arabdownsouth]

Honestly though,who gives a f*ck? We've had some horrendous decisions go against us, and a few of those being against Hearts too. So I say f*ck them and McInnes all the way to f*ck

[Arabs4ever]

See that statement from the SFA regarding that call on Wednesday. IMO they are shifting the blame on anybody else but themselves. Is this the moment when the clock stops during games then you know exactly how long injury time is to be played?

So the family of the ref are under police guard. If we had foreign refs in the top flight the fans would have to go some distance in trying to get at them. I think the police should be arresting the person putting out that statement because that is fuelling the debate with them saying they are in no way to blame. Ex refs coming out and saying it should never have been given paints that statement coming from the SFA as boll***s.

As I said before if it was in the Celtic box and the penalty awarded to Motherwell and they scored from it to make Hearts league champions that was never going to be given. Therein lies the problem and it could be years of the SFA taking it from the two arse cheeks and buggering all the other teams.

I really hope Hearts win it and see how the Celtic fans take it. As is always the case with the SFA do phuck all against the Celtic fans or The Rangers fans.
