As the meltdown enters its second day, people like Kenny are scouring social media for Celtic content.
This has irreversibly damaged everyone in Scottish football who can’t bear to see Celtic still in this title race.
Kudos to Shebahn Aherne, Chris Sutton, Charlie Mulgrew, Si Ferry & Neil Lennon for offering some balance amongst the chaos and delusion.
Has anyone checked on Ally McCoist?

Feck me we're all still talking about it & with his green tinted spectacles on he's stating its a clear penalty he says with his green tinted spectacles which were meant to be removed..

@HightowerRFC @Staunchnaderi @ScottishFA Fuck off ya hun prick. It fucking did hit him in the hand fatty, you get back to your munchie box.

@Ally4Clash @Staunchnaderi @ScottishFA Shut it ya wee dick . They've still no supplied a pic that proves it 100% hit the boys hand for the pen so that in itself makes it a subjective call .Fucking idiot Sutton called that decision subjective .
English


@ScottishFA Entire statement screams of “please stop shining a light on our bias & corruption”

@JJOTWNO1 @Greg_1886 @Staunchnaderi @ScottishFA Mate there's no point in arguing with fucking idiots.

@Greg_1886 @Staunchnaderi @ScottishFA The mistake is missing the incident. You can't call incidents like that in real time.
English

@HightowerRFC @Staunchnaderi @ScottishFA Read the fucking thing properly ya fucking idiot. The subjective view is taken before VAR intervene. Things can be missed by the human eye ya fucking melt.
English

@Staunchnaderi @ScottishFA That "subjective" word again .How can a clear and obvious error be in any way subjective? Total nonsense coming from the SFA here

@PaulJohnDykes Funny that it’s only Celtic players who has defended it compared to the full world.

@EwenDCameron @MotherwellFC @shebahn @chris_sutton73 Ex of Hearts Sam Nicholson "I swear it never touched my hand".

Those who questioned the integrity of Sam Nicholson owe the boy an apology.
The @MotherwellFC player swore on his kids life that the ball didn’t strike his hand.
This new video clip is the clearest evidence of that.
I’m looking at you @shebahn @chris_sutton73

@jglally07 @Clyde_Sports25 @jhnmcgnly Maeda was backing into no one. Why am I surprised from your response. Just come out and admit that you hate Celtic and be done with your bullshit.

🤓 Reflections on last night's Celtic penalty.
I'm not trying to convince anyone, really, more laying out an alternative viewpoint amongst what I consider to be pretty absurd hysteria. There are also some mistruths about the VAR process being portrayed as neutral objectivity that I think deserve to be challenged.
Does the ball hit his arm? For me, the footage shows this.
Is his arm in an unnatural position and making his body bigger? It's above shoulder height and in front of his head. The ball strikes his arm before his head. Personally, I don't feel his arm being there is justified by his body movement. Intent is irrelevant.
Is it a clear and obvious error? There's a popular misconception there has to have been a 'clear and obvious error' for VAR to recommend a VAR review. Per the IFAB guidance, this is not true. A referee can also be called to the monitor if they communicate to the VAR that they haven't seen or made a decision on an incident VAR has flagged as a potential penalty. This is called a 'serious missed incident'.
I think, until the audio is released, it's reasonable to assume John Beaton did not rule on whether it was a handball or not before the review, so 'clear and obvious error' would not apply. He didn't have to make a decision on allowing play to continue because the ball almost immediately went out of play and he was told to delay.
It's fair to surmise that Dallas' only role was flagging to Beaton there was a potential handball, not suggesting he had made a grave error. IFAB guidance also makes clear that for subjective decisions, including handball considerations, a pitchside review is appropriate. Beaton approached the monitor and made a decision on the evidence available to him.
Taking all of this into consideration, even if you feel it wasn't a penalty, I am struggling to comprehend the outrage as if this were either the most corrupt decision in the history of Scottish football or the 'worst VAR decision' in history.
I feel there's been a lack of balance or relevant knowledge on broadcasts. I think mainstream pundits suggesting there is a pattern of assistance for Celtic in this title race is hysterical nonsense that is ordinarily mocked by most in less tense times.
For the record, and I know this goes against many Celtic fans, I don't believe any club feels the benefit of biased refereeing.
I think referees in this country are generally poor and lack consistency and I think the version of VAR that we have in Scottish football is fundamentally flawed because of cheap infrastructure.
Going back to the penalty itself, the biggest point of contention would be on the concept of his body being 'unnaturally bigger'. In this case I feel the decision could really go either way depending on the viewpoint of the referee. I don't think it's massively egregious to say it is a penalty.
It can be 'harsh', 'unlucky' and 'soft' and still be a reasonable conclusion for the referee to award a penalty. Or at least be reasonable enough not to suggest it is a 'worldwide' embarrassment and/or cheating.
I'm not entirely ignorant of my own bias. I fully understand it's easier to go 'well, what's the big deal here?' when the decision goes in favour of the team you support and professionally cover. It's going to generate noise, I get that. Yet, there's something uneasy about the fervour with which this is being labelled as objectively a 'disgusting' crime against Hearts and their title bid.
Celtic have earned 19 points with goals scored after the 80th minute this season. They're finding a way. It might be enough.
Rage on!

@jglally07 @Clyde_Sports25 @jhnmcgnly On the subject of Wednesday nights game, do you not think Celtic should have had a penalty for the keepers challenge on Maeda?
English

@Ally4Clash @Clyde_Sports25 @jhnmcgnly Read some of my posts from earlier this season. Ridiculous VAR decisions against us in 7 league games in a row cost us around 12 points. No VAR would be the only benefit of relegation. Be nice to get back to celebrating goals as they go in.

@jglally07 @Clyde_Sports25 @jhnmcgnly You should have mentioned the decisions against your own club then.
Instead you chose to jump on the bandwagon and be a cheerleader for Hearts, The Rangers and Motherwell. There's been a few went against Celtic, your faux outrage is duly noted though.

@talkSPORT Why is nobody at talk sport talking about the fact that it actually hit his hand? Are they all afraid to upset Ally McCoist?

@CelticEnded2iar The meltdowns have been fucking incredible. Lineker to Bin boy Bryson. The political editor of the times to that BBC prick Geisler. And everything in between is delicious.

@GerryHassan Seems everybody and their granny not of a Celtic persuasion are truly in a tiz the day. It was a penalty.

The Scottish Premiership title race has been one of the most exciting in years. It has attracted worldwide attention. It shows there is more to football than Celtic & Rangers. After all that the title race & who are champions shouldnt be tarnished by an indefensible VAR decision.
James Melville 🚜@JamesMelville
If Celtic were on the receiving end of exactly the same circumstances and VAR penalty decision, the entire club and fan base would understandably be furious about it. It was a scandalously bad decision. End of story.

@ScotlandSky @ACSOMPOD Trusty pushes his arm up with his shoulder. It’s a footballing incident. Get over yourself. Also, it’s a foul throw… He steps onto the pitch. Unbelievable how much they can keep the charade up without feeling any sort of embarrassment or guilt. Shameless. ❤️

Ally McCoist on @talksport 👏👏
“The whole country is taking notice, it’s an appalling decision”
“Must get rid of VAR, it’s making us look like clowns”
Spoke to one of our ex players literally 5 mins ago & just said to me “The integrity of the game has to come into question”
