@spfl The referee is the sole arbiter when it comes to timekeeping, even if he had ended it early it matters, not a jot.

SPFL Statement "Firstly, we send our congratulations to Celtic on winning the William Hill Premiership in the most exciting of circumstances and send our commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian following an incredible campaign. “We would also like to thank the referee and his excellent team of match officials for their cool heads on such a dramatic day. Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned. "Yesterday’s match showed off the very best of the Scottish game and the drama and excitement that it is rightly famed for. The eyes of the world were on Glasgow and the climax of the William Hill Premiership, with millions of viewers watching the match on Sky Sports and across the globe. "However, we utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach onto the field of play. We await the report of our match delegate regarding any specific incidents that took place but, regardless, supporters entering the field of play in any circumstances is wholly unacceptable and puts those participating and working at a match at risk. We note that entering the pitch in England and Wales has been a criminal offence since 1991. We urge anyone with information about any alleged criminal activity to contact Police Scotland."

@ScottBradleyX 😂😂😂😂

Two MASSIVE decisions have gone against Hearts in the space of a few days. I can totally understand why Derek McInnes believes everyone is against his team. For the good of Scottish football, they deserve to win this league title tomorrow. Their title charge has been a breath of fresh air for the Scottish game. This is their time. Their moment. Go seize it because it may not happen again.

@_CalvinDavis @LA_Bernadette27 Going by your pic you would shit yourself.

@LA_Bernadette27 Ye and good for him. I’d do the same if some inbred crack head was charging at me

Looks like Shankland was the one lifting his hands 🙈🤔….

@AleeseMm @LA_Bernadette27 You serial losers will never understand.

@LA_Bernadette27 Looks like the Celtic fans are on the pitch again, why?

@TheScotsman This is great to hear.

@HumzaYousaf Think it is time now for you to go, quietly.

Shameful A young minority politician - who has broken no rules - is elected. Days after their election such is the abuse they suffer they have to be escorted by additional security staff. Those who have led the pile on to Q Manivannan should take a long hard look at themselves.

@aldometalman @Gerry31D @rangersrabble @Neillennoncsc Bigots dont think.

@Gerry31D @rangersrabble @Neillennoncsc 😂what do you "think" that photo shows????

Ally McCoist on Talksport: I spoke to a former player 5 minutes ago (regarding the penalty decision last night) "The integrity of the game has to come into question after that decision"

@spiderPiglets @Gerry31D @rangersrabble @Neillennoncsc Whereas you're just a cunt.

@Gerry31D @rangersrabble @Neillennoncsc Gerry this photo clearly shows the Celtic player forcing an arm of the Motherwell player up into the path of the ball. At this point I’m beginning to think you cunts are all just stupid.

@JamieBrysonLLB A visit from the cops incoming.

SFA statement is a disgrace. There is no responsibility taken or reflection upon the cheating by John Beaton which is understandably inflamed the entire footballing community. Threats are never justified & must be condemned. But robust criticism, condemnation of cheating & seeking- through public scrutiny- to hold accountable those displaying blatant bias, is entirely legitimate. John Beaton should be permanently banned from refereeing.

@CliffMc84 Welcome to your world of serial losers. 🤡🤡

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!

@CliffMc84 A some daft cunts dont get it. 😂😂😂

They really are insufferable cunts man🙈😂

@James_Tavernier What A Top Prick!

@MrG93542611 @JamieBrysonLLB I set that call up. One of my students is writing a dissertation about how the laws of the game in Scotland are applied. She has uncovered something that had to be discussed.

@JamieBrysonLLB The fact Martin Oneill admitted he had a long call with Willie collum prior to the old firm game , sums it up for me ….also gifted the title in lockdown when every other European league finished their leagues ….major investigations have to be done just like they did in Italy !

Hearts deserve to win the league. But they won’t. They’ve been cheated & shafted. The world knows. Celtic will get their tainted title, delivered via the hand of referees who have been corrupted, but everyone knows they cheated to get there. Martin O’Neill’s respect as a football man has been tarnished beyond repair given he has happily been involved in whatever corruption has occurred to buy off the officials. I’d rather be a Rangers, or even Hearts, fan and lose the league, than be part of that shameless corrupt cheating cabal. We will never be like them. And be grateful for it.

@CliveX6 @BritainForTrump @chris_sutton73 As if we give a flying fuck. Hun tears are delicious.

@BritainForTrump @chris_sutton73 The most hated club across the uk. No one would argue about that

Now the dust has settled.. The reaction from many high profile people is way over the top. John Beaton was advised to go to the monitor and saw that the ball hit the arm in an unnatural position Bottom line is people would hate to see Celtic win the title again and that is all.

@BritainForTrump @chris_sutton73 Most of Scottish football detests the tribute act and their scumbags support.

@chris_sutton73 Of course people would hate to see Celtic win the title, everyone hates them. Doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t a handball.

@Baldy_Barker @chris_sutton73 Clearly, he prefers winners over serial losers and tribute acts.

@chris_sutton73 This wouldn’t be the same John Beaton that you’s have been screaming and adamant is a Rangers fan and his decisions in games are only to benefit Rangers and no one else?

@theweeflea @chris_sutton73 Maybe comment on ex-referees dinner speaking about how they loved sticking it to Celtic. Then try and find one saying that about the huns.

@chris_sutton73 No - the bottom line is we hate cheating. We hate all the last min penalties Celtic get. It was a wrong decision. End of. Embarrassing for Scottish football. Celtics championship will be forever tainted

@theweeflea @chris_sutton73 The handball couldn't be clearer. Only bigots see something else.

@JamieBrysonLLB 🤡

It appears there is unanimity amongst every single pundit, football supporter, club, player, ex-player & the grannies down the super market. Other than Celtic and cheating John Beaton, no one thinks the 98th minute penalty it’s anything other that disgusting.

@GaryLineker One of the worst posts ever on here. Did you watch the game caller?

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