@BarryAnderson_ 2 to 1 decision by panel show it was a subjective decision and not clear cut.

The Scottish FA have admitted an error over Hearts' penalty claim at Motherwell. The KMI panel agreed that Alexandros Kyziridis should have been awarded a spot-kick for a foul by Tawanda Maswanhise. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football…

@5liveSport @EwenDCameron It's doesn't need to be clear & obvious if it's a serious missed incident. Which a handball in box obviously is. If providing informed opinion you should know basic rules. It clearly touches his hand/wrist with arm above shoulder height. It's a fairly straightforward penalty

"It's not clear cut, it's not a clear and obvious error." ❌ Do you think VAR should've awarded Celtic a penalty against Motherwell? 🤔 #BBCFootball

@J_oh_n They made a mistake not awarding a penalty when Motherwell goalie came through the back of Maeda. Other than that the penalty at the end was a great spot & correct decision

It’s funny how the refs only make these mistakes when it’s the 95th minute and the establishment team’s are drawing.

@GaryLineker Now that the referee is under police protection would you like to apologise for helping cause a pile-on for a clear handball?

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.

@20MinuteTims @EwenDCameron It's easy to dismiss Ewan & likes as shock jocks that will say anything for clicks & views but his deliberate disinformation has real life consequences. Sky as well with Kris Boyd have whipped up frenzy over relatively straight forward handball decision

@EwenDCameron As we were saying Ewan. You can’t say this sort of thing wasn’t inevitable due partly to hysteria whipped 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.

@ScotlandSky Sky can take a healthy share of the blame for this with ill informed punditry whipping up a frenzy over a relatively straightforward handball decision

BREAKING: Referee John Beaton under police protection following Fir Park penalty decision.

@Firhill40 @CelticF1rst The ball possibly touched his head but definitely made significant contact with the hand and wrist

This guy doesn't have a horse in the race

@SkySportsBoxing Was a good fight but expect the rematch to be a routine win for Dubois.

Fabio Wardley has activated a clause for an immediate rematch with Daniel Dubois 🚨

@jack_w_cfc @aboutceltic Lots of Scottish clubs deliberately cut the allocation of Celtic in recent years and have thousands of empty seats. Look at Hibs for example (Celtic fans on right) and the other stands have thousands of empty seats as well.

@aboutceltic As an English football fan we take our away allocations for granted. You can get a ticket most weeks if you know the right people. Big Scottish clubs giving each other a few hundred is just crazy to us when we are used to 3000 at most stadiums.

Only 752 Hearts fans away at Celtic. It’s a 60,000 seater football stadium, allocations in Scottish football are so shit unless you’re a Glasgow club.

@HumanityChad What a hero!

The man climbed out of his eighth floor apartment window to catch the helpless three-year-old girl.

@Ckelly10000 @L2Box1 Matters not a jot. Penalty awarded, goal scored, 3 points and on to a title decider on Saturday. I was just educating Billy on actual rules around throw ins. 👍🏼

@Goodguybarry @L2Box1 If it was so clear cut surely the majority of pundits and ex players etc would agree with yeis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄

There’s me think VAR officials when making a judgement go to the beginning of passage of play If they done there job the throw in was a foul, has the Celtic players foot was over the line What will the SFA do to the VAR officials? FUCK ALL

@L2Box1 @Ckelly10000 Clear handball. Hand above shoulder height. Penalty kick.

@Goodguybarry @Ckelly10000 Apart from tadger Sutton I’ve not heard any ex players say it was a pen

Celtic have released the Unique Angle of the handball… I’m still convinced it hits his head 🤔

@L2Box1 @Ckelly10000 It's the rules of the game in black and white.

@Goodguybarry @Ckelly10000 Like your board Excuses Excuses

@Ckelly10000 @L2Box1 Can you not read? Part of each foot on or behind touchline. Your toes can be over line as long as heel is touching line. Happy to clear that up for you 😉

@Goodguybarry @L2Box1 👏🤣 So on the touchline is correct But not over the touch line

@mrewanmurray I've had a delightful day enjoying the impotent anger of those that won't accept this handball was a penalty. Looking forward to Saturday

Have cheered myself up this morning by reading the wild synopses of those contorting themselves into believing the penalty award at Fir Park was correct 😂

@ScotlandSky It shows we are dealing with dishonest actors when Kris Boyd won't accept the ball hit the Motherwell players hand despite clear evidence to the contrary

🗣️ "I am not convinced it hits his hand. Even if it does, I still don't think it's a punishable action." 🗣️ "For the record, Kris isn't a scientist." Kris Boyd & Chris Sutton discuss that Celtic penalty decision ahead of Saturday's big title decider, live on Sky Sports 📺

@TheRefsView It doesn't need to be clear and obvious if it is a serious missed incident. You guys are supposed to provide an informed opinion and don't know basic rules

For us as a team, no obvious handball. It is not a clear and obvious error for us therefore shouldn’t have been an on-field review.

@AndyRobsonTips It's a handball

Last night’s incident wasn’t corruption. It exposed the incompetence of our officials. A severe lack of composure from Andrew Dallas and John Beaton, coupled with irrational decision-making, has potentially cost us someone finally breaking the Old Firm dominance we’ve suffered for over 40 years. How can such an important decision be made from one camera angle and under 20 seconds of review? It exposes how little training these guys have for moments of this magnitude. The idea that it’s corrupt is nonsense. The SPFL want Hearts to win the league. Neil Doncaster is judged on his ability to promote our league and bring in better TV deals and sponsorship. Given the attention the league has had because of Hearts’ title push, the league becomes way more attractive to sponsors and broadcasters if Hearts get over the line. It’s also more favourable for member clubs chasing investment. Potential investors looking on and seeing what’s been achieved at Hearts only makes clubs like Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee United more attractive. That interest fades when you see what happened just as we were getting to the finish line. That’s what makes last night so damaging. Just when we were on the brink of breaking the norm, of crowning a new winner of our top league, the officials showed how amateur elements of our game still are.
