@RioMoussallem Not in Scotland. Furahashi, Hatate and, most of all, Maeda all media darlings here over the past 4 years.

The main tweet says that in England & Europe in general, they deliberately move the camera away the moment Asian players lift a trophy. Another person replied with 8 clips to confirm his theory. Tbh I’ve never noticed this but it really looks weird.
Coincidence or intentional?

@jimizu23 @Worrido_SK Ah I see. Sounds plausible. Must suck to be a Chinese football fan with an increasing number of succesful Japanese and Korean players in Europe!!
English
@FrankF90396 @Worrido_SK I think that the Chinese don't want to show to their people other Asians winning something.
English
The fact that this “They don’t show Asian Players doing a trophy lift” is actually true is insane because it’s something so subtle and something you won’t even put your mind to
English
@jimizu23 @Worrido_SK I don't understand. Is the thinking that English TV ignores non-Chinese oriental players to avoid upsetting Chinese viewers?
English
@FrankF90396 @Worrido_SK Makes sense because the Scottish league probably doesn't have a huge TV-deal in China.

@liamcsc As he should have. Celtic fans who hold negative opinions of Neil Lennon are arseholes.
English
Hope everyone who sang his name feels like a complete idiot.
You tried to be gracious and magnanimous, despite him pissing 10iar away, and he told you to go fuck yourself.

🗣️ “I think, mentally, we sank a little bit…" 🤣 “They weren’t singing it five years ago, but they sang it today.” Dunfermline boss Neil Lennon on their Scottish Cup final loss, Celtic fans singing his name, Martin O’Neill’s future, and “a major rebuild” this summer ⤵️

Decisions went for/against hearts & Celtic throughout the season.
However in the last 4 games involving hearts or Celtic, every single contentious decision went in favour of Celtic. Days after Celtic officials meeting with the head of referees.
Thats more than a coincidence
English
@WingsScotland So you're saying the SFA will overturn the result and give Celtic a 3-0 win because Hearts left the pitch?
English
Celtic fans’ latest attempt at a diversion is “Are you still going on about this after six days LOL!!!!”
Morocco were awarded the 2026 Africa Cup Of Nations *two months* after losing the final to Senegal on the pitch. Justice takes time.
English
@CraigHouston_ It is, it's amazing isn't it? Not as if there's any way to communicate across a football pitch. By the by, nobody with viable political aspirations gets this bent out of shape in public about football decisions.
English
It’s amazing that amongst all that confusion and uncertainty 23 seconds after a goal and carnage the ref or 4th official managed to get Derek McInnes to agree to end game.
Martin O’Neill said after match that 4th official told him the game had 1 min to go after goal. He must be a very fast talker if it was 4th official.

@AGCeltic__ He's a big skilled bastard with a point to prove. It's a no brainer. Why do Nigerian fans call him the senior man by the way?
English
@edalsbhoy @FarvaRangers 3-0 Celtic then. Will improve the GD after all.
English
@FarvaRangers Can't restart a game when one of the teams have fucked off back to Edinburgh by the time the idiots on the pitch had gone back to their seats though can you? Hearts abandoned the game.
English
@WingsScotland Yes. That's the definite answer. It's actually inevitable. Because the ref blew 23 seconds early yesterday, robbing the Jam Tarts of their league title, there will now be maniacs running on the pitch just after half-time and refs will have no option but blow the whistle early.
English
Hundreds of replies in this thread, not one answer to this question.
Wings Over Scotland@WingsScotland
Because if not, where do you draw the line? Can you invade the pitch the end the game with a minute left? 90 seconds? Two minutes? Any time you feel like it?
English
@WingsScotland If not for the astroturfed, pre-emptory 'tainted title' guff sown since Celtic's penalty against Motherwell (same game the Motherwell keeper got away with using Maeda like a step-ladder whilst clearing a cross if you recall), far fewer people would give a damn about this.
English
@WingsScotland So there was a timekeeping error? I remember Celtic V Hapoel Tel Aviv. Celtic won 2-0. Ref blew minutes early. Alan Stubbs pointing to the time on the big screen complaining. Nobody gave a damn. Big Whoop.
English
@sampilger The shocking intervention which....awarded Celtic a stonewaller?
English
So that absolutely shocking VAR intervention for the Celtic penalty against Motherwell earlier this week proved to be crucial and helped rob Hearts and deliver Celtic the title. A great shame for Scottish football.
English
@Brightonian_ People genuinely find it outrageous that Celtic were not denied a stonewaller.
English
My goodness.
So many emotions and details to unpack.
My overriding feeling is the SPL title was not lost by Hearts in today’s game.
It was lost with that outrageous VAR call for Celtic vs Motherwell.
And I still don’t understand why there wasn’t more official pushback at the last fixture being ‘randomly’ Celtic home to Hearts.
But ultimately it doesn’t matter now.
Gutted for Hearts.
