@m200klb @72Tele @JBNYSports Huv you seen twitter the past couple of days... If that had happened.. Hearts would have won the league... Would be everyone talking about that M8... Didn't happen though so on we go till the last game...

@72Tele @JBNYSports Most are "controversial" due to time of award, importance of game and if it's result changing rather than if it's a correct decision or not. Would we have comments from all over if Motherwell had been awarded a penalty in the exact same circumstances?

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.

@Jay_Gallacher I mean if your gonna just spout shite then maybe just go to the SPFL site and check yer shite before posting. 1 less yellow than you all season and 1 more red card.

If anyone doesn't think Celtic get a helping hand from officials in the SPFL they are deluded Yellow cards this season Celtic 33 Rangers 72 Fouls committed Celtic 437 Rangers 441 The data covers the 25/26 season

@racingfront @MGGA1874 @lainnycolinrfc 18 penalties you say!

@MGGA1874 @lainnycolinrfc Different rules for years

By the way they can debate the penalty all they want, but yet again its a case of playing on well after stoppage time ended. Nearly 97mins when Beaton goes over to the monitor when only 5mins were to be added. Just keep playing till they get a decision or a goal.

@JMC92_ @jamessmith2012 @llum0121 What kind of shite statement is that... Even if it hits his hand it's no a handball..not really how it works but like that you are changing you own narrative to suit.

@jamessmith2012 @llum0121 That pictures been proven to be Ai by multiple people mate even if it hits his hand I don’t think it’s a handball imo 🤣

Just out of curiosity, is there a single person out there that thinks that’s a penalty that ISN’T a Celtic fan?

@rayhibs @IainMitchell17 And yet someone took the clearest picture at the exact moment it happened.

@IainMitchell17 No way the ball can hit his hand and the ball flies 20 yards and out for a throw. It's a horrendous decision and u have to question the motive as to why it's given when it's not a clear and obvious error. I think the Scottish FA got the result they wanted.

Swear I’ve never seen world football so angry at a decision like the one Celtic have been given at Motherwell. People with no vested interest in Rangers, Celtic, Hearts or Scottish football whatsoever chipping in calling out how mental it was to give that as a penalty. Makes you sick Hearts could, and probably will, lose the league because of that.

@JD__RFC @douglaspark92 @ScottishFA Taking peoples liberty away for a handball in the box in a fitbaw match.. Who is enforcing that ya moon howler.

@douglaspark92 @ScottishFA John Beaton and Willie Collum should be the first to have their devices confiscated. He's a rat but he's been allowed to be a rat under Willie's tenure and the SFA. Time is up. We're not putting up with your pish anymore.

John Beaton. - Ignored a blatant red card that benefited Celtic - Ignored a blatant offside goal that benefited Celtic - Ignored a clear penalty for Motherwell that benefited Celtic - Gave Celtic a penalty on the very last kick of the ball that would stop Hearts winning league

@borderbluenose @MacGerrard_ Cannae believe you think they sit in the VAR room watching it on Sky Sports main event.... Lmao

@MacGerrard_ Sky complicit all season often don't replay dodgy decisions pro Rangers or likely to show paedo club in bad light

Release VAR audio and then start legal action against these honest mistakes…. 3rd world league ran by a cabal

@Jackal_RFC @Follow_Follow_ @Mac5411 You didn't get it did you, no red card was shown during the match, so it was not a red card... Whine all you want about people saying something after watching a slow mo 70 times but it didn't get awarded on the pitch so... It was not a red card.. End of

@GavMoffat @Follow_Follow_ @Mac5411 So why does all the referees, pundits and football fans other than Celtics think it was a shocking decision? You are used to getting away with them perhaps?

There are coincidences, there are instances of incompetence, and there are patterns of assistance. At some point you can only trust your own eyes and stop trying to be reasonable to people who are at it.

@Saor_Caledonia @KieranMaguire Lmao that's a fucking rip off, they should be about $50

@KieranMaguire I've managed to get about 10 tickets for that game so far, all between £277 and £367, please don't get ripped off

Scotland fans still thinking of attending the World Cup will be delighted to know the match is not sold out and tickets for the first game against Haiti are available for just $1,200, or $3,900 where they have draught Buckfast and you get a FREE commemorative lanyard. Average GDP in Haiti is $1,155 per year. Making it the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere

@Jackal_RFC @Follow_Follow_ @Mac5411 Naw it wisnae, hence no VAR intervention... Ye can cry and moan aw aboot it but he didn't get sent off and it didn't warrant VAR.

@Follow_Follow_ @Mac5411 The problem is people want to sound tough, played amateur football or are thinking of tackling in the 80s and this was ok. They do not realise the endangerment aspect of the follow through which is a straight red.

@NewcoJoe72 I don't think those footballers exist anymore, The new type of footballer does no measure win lose stats only their own stats, Mcfadden and Boyd mentioned this yesterday... Players can get great stats just passing it back and forth... Boring as fuck if u ask me.

Give us a manager and a core group of players that understand Rangers. Understand the culture. Understand the demands and expectations. People that get it.

@shaunvlog_ And we probably have our 2 hardest games of the season upcoming.

@shaunvlog_ Nae pressure on Celtic really, most of the fans had us out the league after the new year Old Firm, this is really a bonus and it's on the Hearts and Rangers for not capitalising on the situation. When we lost to Hibs and Dundee utd I thought the league was gone.

Are we about to see the biggest bottle job in Scottish football history? That’s right, if Celtic fail to win the championship given their significant financial advantage - and with the SPFL seemingly on their side - losing the league to Hearts would be a shock of unspeakable proportions. The pressure is ALL on them…

@AMcKellar89 @DIVBHOY He not in the way of Butland, and Butland watched the ball and dived for it but could not get it. And overall it made no difference as you would still have lost the game. Diomande also pushes Mccowan in the build up to yer opener but does not fit your narrative.

@DIVBHOY Imagine not understanding how angles work. Even being close to line of sight is interfering, btw. It’s as clear an offside as you can possibly imagine.

If you were to devise a scenario to outline what interfering with play looks like in an offside scenario, this would be it.

@NHSWorker16 @DStacks72 Oh the first game vs St Mirren in which McCowan scored from open play and VAR Ruled out a goal for handball... That game we didn't win by getting any last minute penalty.

@DStacks72 started from game 1 this season witht hem getting a last min penalty that everyone was told wouldnt be given as a pen this season

It’s beyond the point of asking genuine questions about the sincerity of officials in Scotland. The number of massive, game changing decisions that have gone Celtic’s way in Old Firm matches over the last 2–3 years is ridiculous. This goes far beyond “poor officiating”.

@DStacks72 Totally discounting that we hadn't beat you all season in the league, but we stepped up when it counted. You talk about the equaliser but discount Diomande two hand push on Mccowan.

@Scotland2Philly Lmao the balls in mid air in your picture.... Butland seen it the whole way.... Nygren didn't imped him either...

Hearts denied two stonewall penalties last night. Celtic awarded an offside goal. The pattern of assistance continues

@MMcculloch2563 @TonyTonyBloom @JamTarts @ScottishFA Lost 8 games, worst loss run in 50 odd years... But aye it's a Conspiracy that you guys were both as shite as we have been all season. In most other seasons another team would have won the league already.

@TonyTonyBloom @JamTarts @ScottishFA Fuck off with this "Glasgow bias" or "old firm bias". It's not an old firm bias. It's never been. There is ONE club that gets dodgy decisions every week, every season. This gets proven over and over and over again.

I rest my case. Celtic awarded an offside goal, and Alistair Johnson booked for a straight red card offence. @JamTarts are fighting against two other football clubs and an association. @ScottishFA are corrupt to the core. Absolutely rotten!

@MrLaird_Scotty @FemaleScotlandV Apart from the UK Electoral Commission.. Maybe all the other parties are shit and reform has split the conservative vote. Now it's foreigners also block voting... Yet it's a similar result to 5 years ago... SNP lost like 5 seats.. This is democracy in action

@FemaleScotlandV It's fix up, fraudulent shit happening. We have no-one watching the watchers verifying these votes. Either that or we hae many more foriegners here all block voting than the offiicial numbers provided.

A Perth person isn’t convinced either. When you chat to people and move around your community you do tend to get to know things. Scotland is a small country. I trust the small towns and cities. The vibe in Scotland has been general hatred towards the SNP. I don’t know how they are getting in again and again and again.

@TheQuietKid18 Celtic Fans and the Green Brigade control Scottish politics now.... Wit a fucking laugh this is... 2-3 million voters and say 50% Controlled by GB...

Whether you like it or not ‘your own’ isn’t illegal migrants from Somalia, or Palestinians or anybody else from the 3rd world. ‘Your own’ is people living in the same communities as you, the same cities as you, who pay into the same tax system as you, who use the same public services you do, who use the same public spaces you do. People who’s lives that are being changed for the worst every single day by policies that will ruin this country and maybe just maybe they are sick of that and won’t be dictated to by weirdos who’s political affiliation is decided by what ever their fitbaw teams brainwashed ultras next ‘cause is’.
