A special mention has to go to the guy who upon seeing the Kenmure Street raid threw his bike & himself under the van preventing the Home office thugs from making a quick escape. He lay under there for 8 HOURS. To Bike Man, you sir are a hero & your brave act inspires us all!

“Disgusting” ?!? #Hearts manager #DerekMcInness on the mic, leading his then #Rangers teammates in a chorus of the Billy Boys, which celebrates the mass murder of Catholics in the lyric, “We’re up to our knees in Fenian blood…”

@GrahamSpiers @HHHendricks1 The response of someone who just "wants to debate" yet when confronted with facts you don't like you resort to type. Embarrassing!

@HHHendricks1 🤣🤣🤣 you’re brilliant!

Credit to Celtic captain Callum McGregor for his brazen honesty - as ever - after Celtic’s incredible twist of good fortune at Fir Park: “I’m shell-shocked. I’ve seen a lot of things in football but this is the biggest moment I’ve seen in a long, long time. Everything was resting on it. Do the maths: what we would have to have done at the weekend. But now it’s in our hands.”

Israeli are now doing a right to rape rally at the new york times. They came out after nyt nick Kristof wrote a piece about how israelis are using rape of Palestinians men, women and children as a weapon of war. which has been well documented

How dare you believe your lying eyes that Israel is sexually assaulting Palestinians on camera? Blood libel. Khamas. Khamas. Khamas. October 7. Antisemitism🪄

Penalty kicks and the timing of PK awards is a bit of a topic in Scotland these days. Let's look at some data. I'll leave conclusions to you. Here is 5 years (21-22 to 25-26) of Prem PKs for both Celtic and Rangers. Each club was awarded 44 PKs. Celtic converted 34 and Rangers 36. At the time of PK awards, Celtic was 22-19-3 (85 points) by an aggregate score of 59-18. At the end of the matches, Celtic was 37-6-1 (117 points). So Celtic was 32 points better at FT than at the time of PK awards. Note they only trailed 3 times when the 44 PKs were awarded. Rangers were 13-16-15 (55 points) at the time of PK awards by an aggregate score of 28-25. They were 34-8-2 (110 points) at the end of the matches. So Rangers were 55 points better at FT than at the time of PK awards. Note they trailed FIFTEEN times when PK were awarded vs 3 times for Celtic. I added a table to only show PKs when they trailed. Again, I leave conclusions to you.

Derek McInnes said last night that the Celtic penalty decision was “disgusting.” Now let’s remember, this is coming from a man who was openly filmed singing “up to my knees in Fenian blood.” So let’s call it exactly what it is. The only thing truly disgusting in all of this is Derek McInnes himself. A man with a history of sectarian behaviour trying to take the moral high ground over a football decision is beyond laughable. I genuinely do not care whether you support Celtic, Rangers, Hearts or anyone else — singing songs like that is unacceptable. It’s bigoted, it’s sectarian, and it should never be brushed aside or forgotten. But somehow a penalty decision is what disgusts him? Have a word with yourself.

@EwenDCameron @Herson_7 You have a platform and you know. This is utterly embarrassing. Especially considering we can all see the ball hit his hand!

@Herson_7 So fans who shout, scream, call phone in shows and write on social media for managers to be sacked are ‘inciting violence?’ Shut up 🤦🏻‍♂️

🚨SFA STANDS BY JOHN BEATON This season has been an utter embarrassment and last night was the tipping point. I’ve never seen a decision, in Scottish football, to be so widely condemned and this should be a watershed moment for our national game All fans should unite against Temu VAR and the poor refereeing standards. And before anyone says it….YES….I’m very aware that Hearts have benefitted from some poor decisions this season. However, we need to look at the bigger picture here and demand change. A good start would be… …SACK WILLIE COLLUM.

@mstewart_23 This one isn't tho

This is AI generated picture. Motherwell have the old English Premier League badge on the sleeve! Why doctor the picture?

The morning after the night before. Firstly, it’s 2026, let’s stop using still images to try and confirm anything that happens on a football pitch. Video brings context. Secondly, and related to point one, for fucks sake use some common sense. An image showing two balls and an English Premier League badge on the Motherwell shirt is actually being circulated by some people as “proof” of what happened 😂 Thirdly, unless you are genuinely blind, I think we can all agree on one point now. The ball absolutely DOES hit his hand, the evidence of that in slow motion and zoomed in, is absolutely clear. Fourth, the distance on the ball is because Nicholson does indeed head it, but he heads it with his hand between his head and the ball. Again that is absolutely clear when you watch it zoomed in and in slow mo, IMO. So, and this is only my opinion of course, the only debate to be had is about whether the hand is in an unnatural position or if his hand has ended up there because of contact from Trusty. For me, whilst his arm isn’t making his silhouette bigger, you can’t really say it being on his forehead is a natural position 🤷‍♂️ Whether a nudge by Trusty pushed his arm up there is I suppose up for some debate but that’s pretty subjective, again IMO, and could be argued either way. So, despite the initial furore, by me included, I genuinely can see why this has been given. In terms of “the worst VAR decision of all time”it’s not even close to being as bad as either of the penalties Hearts didn’t get just three days ago at the same ground. Most neutrals, me included, want Hearts to win the league, and that incident last night was massively disappointing, but I think we all need to calm down a bit. What it has shown though, is that we desperately need more and better camera angles if we are stuck with VAR, and we also need much clearer and consistent decisions on handball cos we are making an absolute arse of dealing with it up here. Some refs give what others don’t, and it’s incredibly frustrating (again see Fir Park on Sat night). That’s my 2p worth anyway, all I know for sure is it’s a very good time to be a football forum owner 🤪

“Having seen that again in slow-mo it clearly hits his hand there and it’s up above his head.” ~ Alex Rae ~ Poor guy.

@talkSPORT Do these guys not understand how physics works?

🤷‍♂️ Goldstein: "If it hits his hand it would drop on the floor!" ❌ Agbonlahor: "Terrible decision... not a penalty! He's headed it!" Andy and Gabby cannot believe that #CelticFC were awarded a late penalty to beat Motherwell and set-up a title deciding clash vs Hearts! 🤦‍♂️

CORRUPTION IN SCOTLAND❌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 CELTIC HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN A PENALTY IN THE 93RD MINUTE FOR THIS?!😡🤬 Heartbreaking for Hearts💔 x.com/jeremydokubelg…

The world has now seen what everyone already knew. Embarrassing

@The_Tman10 100% enough for you now?

I don’t want Hearts to win the league i think that’s pretty clear but even i have sympathy for them tonight. Genuinely that last minute pen for Celtic is poor and if i’m a Hearts fan,player or coach (or Motherwell for that matter) I’m fuming at that. You have to be 💯 sure with that big a call.

The worst VAR decision of all time?

We’re close to the point of teams walking off the pitch Senegal style against Celtic. An absolute farce every time they play. The whole of Scottish football has to stand up to it! Unlucky Hearts, welcome to our world!

Pack Scottish football up. What on earth is the point? Clubs need to come together and call it out. They simply can’t take someone else winning it.

Scottish football is up there with Italian - corrupt to f*ck! 💰

That is cheating pure and simple. That cannot be a penalty. For the love of God. Game is gone!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ #SPL

I’ve seen enough. If he’s given that for handball, as we are being told, then that is an absolutely SCANDALOUS decision.
