Arsenal got exactly what they deserved. Cowardly tactics, awful football. You can’t be the Champions of Europe when you set up to do that.

@henrywinter I’m so confused. There is clear evidence it hits his hand. Where else do you think it hit??!!! Also if this was other way round and FOR hearts, I think nothing would be said. All very odd this controversy of if it hit the hand. It clearly does.

Henry Winter@henrywinter·
Celtic’s penalty was certainly a debatable decision. Impossible to be definitive either way, hence current widespread inquest, so they really should have stayed with original on-field. No pen. Understandable anger amongst Motherwell and Hearts coaches, players and supporters. Hearts now travel to Celtic Park for a title decider. The Foundation of Hearts, which owns 75% of the club, has called “on those responsible for the officiating of Saturday’s match to ensure that the highest standards of decision-making are applied, so that the game is decided by the players on the pitch and the team is given the fair opportunity it has earned”. Strong words. North and South of the Border the quality of officiating - and consistency – has been questioned this season. The problem is not the technology but those using it. There are some very competent officials about. But more are needed. Whether the Fir Park hand-ball was the worst decision ever is a moot point. Here are a few that spring immediately to mind, clear-cut mistakes, bound to trigger some frustrated flashbacks, in no particular order…. Diogo Dalot on Jeremy Doku, somehow only a yellow. Michael Keane on Doku, somehow only a yellow. Jordan Pickford taking out Virgil van Dijk. Harry Kane foot up on Andy Robertson. Tomas Soucek stopping a shot from Conor Gallagher with his hand. Rodri hand-ball against Everton. On it goes. Elliot Anderson on Ollie Watkins, cleared on review, mad. Kelechi Iheanacho denied a goal for Celtic against Braga when VAR ruled he’d handled when the ball came off his cheek. Gabriel not being dismissed for lowering his forehead into Erling Haaland. Luis Diaz punished for a non-existent offside when scoring for Liverpool against Tottenham. Lee Mason left his VAR job “by mutual consent” and PGMO apologised after he failed to draw the lines and spot Christian Norgaard offside in the build-up to Ivan Toney scoring for Brentford, costing Arsenal two points. And many others. The problem isn’t the technology; it’s the people using it, with the additional issue in Scotland of whether there is sufficient investment in the technology infrastructure. VAR is the safety net - but currently with too many holes.

Exactly. Football is shite these days epitomised by the likely new champions and VAR
The Athletic | Football@TheAthleticFC

Nothing could define this Premier League campaign better than the subsequent sight of the VAR officials at Stockley Park spending five minutes at a bank of television screens in stoppage time, trying to work out whether a goal should stand after the wrestling match that took place at the corner kick which led to it. It was clear, upon review, that Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was held and impeded by West Ham United forward Pablo before Callum Wilson converted the loose ball. Raya’s left forearm was being pulled as he jumped to try to catch the ball. Of course, it was a foul. The problem is that at least three other clear fouls were being committed at the same time: Jean-Clair Todibo also on Raya, Declan Rice on Konstantinos Mavropanos, Martin Odegaard on Todibo. As former Liverpool and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports, “It was like watching the Super Bowl (with all the blocking). It was chaos.” When it comes to identifying the defining moment of this campaign, it is hard to imagine there will be anything that captures the spirit of the Premier League in 2025-26 more than the sight of a VAR at Stockley Park staring at a screen, trying to work out exactly who is fouling who — which foul is taking place when, which is most grievous, which is most consequential. How has football allowed this to become the new normal? Read @OliverKay in The Briefing for free ⬇️ bit.ly/4dkIdOQ

The whole season been so poor. Champions because of set pieces. Never would I thought that could happen. Football needs a wake up call to this boring robotic shit.

✍️ 'Study the first league goal that Arsenal scored last August, at Old Trafford. William Saliba was elbowing and obstructing Altay Bayindir, but still Riccardo Calafiori’s goal was allowed to stand, without any VAR review,' writes @oliverbrown_tel. 'The inconsistent officiating lies at the core of the controversy.' Read the column ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@RioMeets @rioferdy5 Daft question. Ronaldo shits over all of them, so easily beats Salah. Tevez much better than firmino, and Rooney easily better than mane. It’s not even a question
